All that means is now you have more capital to maybe move a young piece somewhere else to fill another spot of a young piece that you need.

Like that's how good rebuilds work is guys you weren't expecting to be part of your plan come in and steal a spot.

And then that big piece that you were really excited about doesn't seem as big anymore, but it's big to someone else.

The one that just instantly pops into my head is why can't he do P.O.

Joseph's job for next year, right?

Like you put the younger guy in there and they have a rotation that's going not set in stone, but knowing that you're not going to let a kid just sit there, but you make sure he gets in, but

I almost guarantee that he's going to get in and it's going to be really hard to take him out.

Like, I really do think that, but perfect.

right like make guys have to fight to get in the lineup and like it keeps when you're not winning it keeps a hunger in you more of honestly your ego of trying to prove to yourself that you're better than the other guy that you might be best friends with that you go to lunch or go to lunch with every day after practice but even when you're sitting there you're thinking like i love this guy like he's probably gonna be my wedding i'm gonna steal his job

It is a fact, though.

And so have that.

I want more of that fighting within, in a good sense.

We're trying to move past it.

The inner competition.

I want more riffs on the team.

We haven't got enough riffs.

Totally, totally fine.

I'd have an older guy, like the year we won the Calder in Grand Rapids, one of our defensemen, like every once in a while you'd be getting ready, you know, you're doing one-on-one battles or two-on-two in the corner, and it's just you're kind of going through the motion.

And he'd look at you, you know, depending on who you were, and he'd say, like, got to set the tone.

Like, you're not going to like this.
