Elliot's report this morning on the 32 Thoughts podcast would be the first I'd heard of that.

And again, you couldn't find better people, right?

And I think the same way of Rian Johnson.

And it's not just because we in the media have gotten to know him.

For sure, familiarity and the way you're treated by people like him affects how you think.

And had nothing but great conversations with Rian Johnson formally and informally over the years when you run into him either at the rink or at Abbotsford.

And so it biases your opinion a little bit.

But I mean talking to other people from outside the organization, other American Hockey League people about the way he's done things in Abbotsford.

Adding those types of people to your organization, I had a similar conversation with someone who has the same things to say about Evan Gold through their interactions with him in the American Hockey League.

So these are all good things.

But I think what I maybe hope for, and I've talked a little bit, but I think there are maybe more voices involved in this decision.

It's not just one person saying, this is my guy, here we go.

And I think that's a good thing.

Organizationally, right up to the top, it doesn't mean there's a complete shift.

It just means there's more voices at the table.

That's the word.

These are all good things.

but I kind of hoped and they went out and they talked to whatever 17, 18 is Rutherford said different people.

Um, maybe I hoped a little bit as much as those are all great people.

I, and maybe, maybe this has happened that they'd gone beyond that.
