I just want the skill.

No, I just think that the trade back idea represents to me cowardice.

Like you're afraid to make the pick.

And this is what I also find interesting about that.

McKenna picked that first overall.

And the thing that we're outlining here is this feels like such a you're getting fired miss pick in terms of if you draft him first overall and he doesn't fulfill his potential and the warts end up being oversized.

And the other guys go in this draft and it's like a deep top where you could end up having two awesome defensemen and Stenberg be like, again, the 80 point guy who is like a down ballot Selke nominee is a winger.

Yeah.

That people will look at that and be like, Oh my God, you're fired.

You blew this pick.

Look how bad it is because the guys behind you were so close.

And then conversely, to your point about it being risky to pass on him, it's the same thing where it's like,

But if you let that play into your mind and you pass on him and he goes to another organization and he does become Nikita Kucherov 2.0, it doesn't matter if you... You're never working again.

Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter if you nailed the pick in terms of the guy was really good.

If he's not the best player at one, you're like, you blew it.

I agree with that.

Take, take the super skilled guy.

The thing is, is to me, part of the reason why this market's even really having this conversation, like outside of it, it's not unanimous.

Like again, books went on both of our shows yesterday, did the rounds and he's making the Stenberg case.

Some people are going to be like chase Reed.
