Three weeks on the job.

He would do it.

You're talking, you know, you got the press conference from hell where people are questioning your integrity and you're just like this, this pass on McKenna.

Listen, he came in here, seems like a confident guy.

I've heard him talk.

I don't know.

Still kind of trying to gauge him, right?

But it doesn't feel like he's going to outwardly give you a lot when you're hearing him talk.

But even for him, even for a risky guy, a guy that's willing to gamble, that is a monster gamble, Borny.

You're actually sort of seeing life...

a potential life of what it would look like if Austin Matthews decides to leave, which seems like what we've been talking about.

It's interesting.

It's interesting.

It comes down to if he really loves the market and wants to be here regardless, or if he wants to leave regardless.

There's a world where he just wants to leave.

He's given his time here, even if they have a good team in the future.

But if he sees they have a good team, he loves it here, he wants to stay here, then you got to do it.

The option is what I love.

Yeah, I just, for the first time, and I just said it before you got on, Kip, when they won that draft lottery last night, one of the first thoughts after, you know, swearing into a camera and running around and high-fiving all my buddies at hockey was I actually thought about life after Matthews for the first time in terms of, you know, we're already hearing the reports of him potentially wanting out, who knows what's what.

But that's been around enough.
