Honestly, I'd probably say Florida. There was a lot of talk with Edmonton getting a little bit older and a little bit slower, but those guys have helped them out a ton this year. I think Corey Perry, 40 years old, I think this is his fifth or sixth Stanley Cup appearance. I wouldn't even say that that's a bad thing for them, getting older and slower. They're getting a lot of help from those guys.

But I think just what the moves that Florida made with bringing in a stud defenseman like Seth Jones and then Brad Marchand, who's probably going to be a Hall of Famer and a guy that is built for playoff hockey and built the way that Florida has been playing the last few years. So in my opinion, I would say Florida got –

Obviously, they were really good last year and won it all, but I think they got even better and even deeper.

Yeah, very fair. And I don't even know if it's like a depth thing because every team's deep and has good players and there's so many good players in the league. I think it's more like I give a lot of credit to Sasha Barkov. Like if someone on his line goes out, they can bring a guy in from the stands and he's going to look like he's been playing on his line all year.

It just goes to show how good Barky is. And yeah, just a true hockey player where all he wants to do is make people around him better. He's so unselfish, just won the Selkie, just won the Leadership Award as well. So just a guy that has all the hardware and has nothing to prove in this game. He's going to be a Hall of Famer.

But I think just what he does for his line mates and the guys that are playing with him to to help them, you know, be a better player, to help them, you know, get their success. Because he honestly, like, he doesn't care about himself. All he cares about is winning. And, you know, you see, I think it was two series ago, Boquist, who hadn't played at all, gets put on his line, and he had two goals.

And, like, he looks like he was a, you know, a first-line player. So I think a lot of that credit should go to Barkie with how deep their team is, just because they can plug anyone in with him, and he's a horse, and they can flourish with him.
