So, if you're just looking at the Habs, like, they're more suited to get in on the action than the Leafs even are.

So, anyway.

It was like they weren't even in the mix of being in the mix.

But to get back to your, whoever posed the original question about where those two guys come into frame, I think the reality is you have to go to them and say, it may take us like a few years to replenish this stuff.

So that's what, and that's what I've been saying for the last little while.

Like it may not, like Matthews in particular, it may take a few years.

And you may not be at the height of your powers as a player, but the way you're going to find a way to captain a team to a Stanley Cup is...

Two or three drafts, two or three trade deadlines, two or three July 1st.

We've got to find the right coach, the right system, and in reality, it may be later in your career.

You talk about Eisenman.

Eisenman was the captain.

He was still a great player, obviously, but they had a lot of other pieces.

Now, that was pre-salary cap, so it's not even fair to compare it.

Yeah, but the margin was so much smaller.

They're in Game 7 of the Cup Final.

The Leafs are not even close to that.

I think, again, that's the thing about the retool.

A lot of people are looking at it like, retool this one over the next six months, and next year you're right back.

It may not be.

It may be a three- or four-year retool.
