Yeah, and so, okay.

I do think it makes sense, potentially, to...

trim a budget down from a business perspective when you are removing competitive pressure from the environment.

I don't even have a problem with being a cap floor team during rebuilding seasons.

I actually think there are benefits to doing that from the perspective of accumulating future value.

Like, if you want to really...

save money.

If you really want to trim your budget during rebuilding seasons, pulling out the old Bill Armstrong book in, from his time in Arizona, the laundromat coyotes, not, not like when, once he took over and they started to at least have a sensible rebuilding direction.

I think that's fine.

I think that's totally fine.

Like for example, you know, and I've suggested before the combined cap it of Elias Pettersson and Phillip Aaronic.

is almost equal to the combined cap hit of Phil Deneau, Brendan Gallagher, and Josh Anderson all expiring.

Like if Montreal wanted to pay you to get a 2C and a top pair right-handed defender and pay significantly, and you were to get off that money on one, would you have a problem with that?

No, it sounds great.

You're also shedding like 120 million in cap liability.

Yeah.

And getting paid to do it.
