Justin Bourne

Like, I don't think he would just take this job on.

If we're talking about something like president of hockey ops, and you haven't said that, but I assume we're talking about something.

I don't know.

I guess, you know, hearing this, and you know my bent, the way that I lean towards some of this...

to building hockey teams.

My concern is like, how dialed in is Matt's to everything?

You know, like, is he going to be able to go out there and find, Hey, we need a two puck moving mobile defenders somehow.

What's the deal with the offer sheets?

You know how Carolina got K Andre Miller.

They had to threaten an offer sheet and leverage them out of there.

You know, one of my biggest frustrations with the past management was that they weren't proactive at all.

Like, early in the year when we were talking about, you got to make this move now, you got to...

They never got ahead of anything, and it takes a lot of planning, and you need to be invested in this stuff all the time to see that stuff coming.

So then I turned the page to, are they going to hire a couple of guys who he wouldn't have hired beneath him in either White or Chayka, and then they're going to find something, and they're going to bring it to him and say, are you okay with us doing this?

Like, you know, what's that dynamic between those two people like?

You know, I just...

it feels to me like you're trying to, the same way they tried to replace Marner by committee, it feels like they're going to try to do something by committee.

Then going and finding a guy.

You need a guy.

And so, I don't know.
