I think the other track on that is, like I said, every season is an opportunity.

And every season, I think, is sacred for this organization, for our fans, for the owner, for ourselves.

And we owe it to give it everything we've got to put the best team on the ice.

And I think we've got some world-class talent, and that's a good starting point.

I think there's a gap, like I said, between where we're at today.

We're realistic.

We know what our record is that we're coming in with.

And we know that we need to get further.

How fast?

The opportunity set's going to dictate a bit.

But certainly, as Matt and I sit here and think about what we need to do to get this team to the next level and get some momentum back.

And remember, this is a team that's been good for a long time.

Not great yet, but good.

And, you know, there's some pride there.

And this is the first time they've missed in a long time.

Players are going to come back and dictate, you know, what that next season looks like.

I'll answer the reaction piece, but I'd say how I think about that is more on the proactive side, and it's all the stuff Mats was just talking about where

Yeah, how can you build an environment where, you know, players feel supported?

They're really, you know, have each other's backs.

We have their backs as the front office.
