They're really not a playoff team.

No.

So I would say this on O'Reilly.

If you want to win, you should come here.

Like Stamkos, I get it, I guess.

He doesn't want to be moved.

He played in Tampa forever.

I don't know about him, but I believe he's got protection.

Ryan O'Reilly does not.

And look, you're not asking for a long-term commitment here.

And I know that the price wouldn't be cheap, but at the end of the day, if you're saying, and I think that you just did, that that is your...

your feeling of like the best possible fit.

If it's not going to be a guy like Joe check, I agree.

Steps in number one center.

He's a pros pro 55.6% in the dot for his career.

Like everything you sort of want is right there.

That to me,

If I was Bill Guerin, I would ask Barry Trotz permission to call O'Reilly, and I would basically be saying it makes a ton of sense for you to come back here after your very brief stop before when we facilitated the trade with you going to Toronto and to play here.

And indeed then, if and when they win the cup, your number can go in the rafters as it belongs, considering you are the best center ever in franchise history.

He got traded to Pittsburgh, joined a team with, at the time, Malkin and Crosby were younger and helped him win a Stanley Cup.
