Okay, but you said the guy from the draft lottery is already on... He's the inspiration for the list.

He's the Rushmore of ponies.

Exactly.

But where does this one...

Somebody sent a tweet to me that said, I can't take this seriously watching Gino Foligno ask the GM.

Joe from the Bridge.

Get a Gino Foligno clip coming into the next segment.

Yeah, I was standing beside Mats, and he kept telling me how he's not going to win, it's not going to happen, and I kept trying to keep him optimistic, and he's a lucky Swede, so we got it done.

You know, the nice part is we just started.

So, you know, when we have a plan, kind of everything about building out the organization, you know, we didn't have a plan in the draft yet.

And so we were knew that there was optionality of what would happen.

And obviously there was a wide range, you know, from winning, which we ultimately did to losing the pick even.

and we were kind of thinking about and planning for all of those circumstances so obviously the best outcome possible happened and you know it's luck's you know a funny thing and you need it to have success long term and that's a big one.

Yeah, you know what?

We had a few meetings already scheduled for today, so it ended up lining up well.

But honestly, I mean, these guys, they're out every day of the year.

And for these players now, they've seen them over multiple years.

So it's always about getting a good book on the players.

And I got a lot of confidence in the group we have here.

It's a veteran group.
