Kiprusoff (Kipper)

Elias Pettersson is a high-paid player.

People are kind of not sure about, you know, what changes get made after they make a GM hire to those sort of other parts of the team.

How different did the Canucks look come September?

I can just tell you guys, like, you know, as someone...

if I were in management with the team and salary caps have gone up through the roof, you know, it feels like there's something to salvage there, right?

This guy's not that old and he's, if it is mental, which you hope you put him in a better environment.

I think all the stuff that you'd be, I guess, you know, that like, Hey, this could be mental and there's still a lot there.

It's a big risk.

Yeah, so...

You know, Quinn Hughes moves on this year.

I don't know how you guys are feeling about the return kind of half a season later, but Austin Matthews is in the conversation here in Toronto where, you know, people are going, maybe, you know, now we've got the first overall pick.

Maybe that's something that we should do.

How do you look at trading superstars like that having gone through it and what teams should be looking for as return?

Listen, we really appreciate your time.

And hopefully not too long for a turnaround.

And the Canucks end up getting their guy in the end, Sad.

Here's to hoping.

The beard looks great.

I appreciate it.

Always fun with you guys.
