And, you know, if I say to you, we're going to do a fantasy draft today, you've got the first overall pick, but you can only pick between two players, Rantanen or Ehlers.
You're taking Rantanen every single time.
But if you're Carolina, I'm taking β even though you said, like, he doesn't have all of the boxes, he's fast β
And in a system where they're playing man-on-man, he's smart.
So now they've gotten to the point, and this is, to me, this is the first guy that they've signed that's not in their mold fully.
In the sense that, okay, he might not do this and this.
But he's fast and he can score.
And they gave him a big deal for it.
So to me, they built their roster and then decided what one player they needed to add into it.
It took two stabs at it, but it found the right guy for what they need right now.
Well, I would want to, but if I was Rantanen, I wouldn't want to.
And that's why they've talked about it so much here with the Sedins and Johnson now, like, because that's exactly what you're talking about.
You have the right leader in place, right?
But you have the right leaders in the dressing room as well, and I think it is important that they have a guy like Stahl that is at the end of his career, but still a massive part of the team, still buying in as much as the kid that's in his first year, on his first run.
They understand what it means to be a Carolina Hurricane.
They understand that it's not going to be easy.
