I mean, that to me would be consistent with a rebuilding move and very much out of the Bill Armstrong playbook.

I have no problem with that.

I think there are huge benefits to spending into the skid because that's a big part of what Montreal did.

And one of the main reasons why I objected to the idea that they got lucky, like they did things well and they spent and used their resources to aid in the accumulation of futures.

The other team that did a really good job of doing a big market rebuild was the Shana plan era Maple East.

And they really got back to being a consistent playoff team super quickly, even if they never got over the top or over the hump as it were.

I would prefer to see the Vancouver Canucks carry themselves that way because I think that's befitting of the resources that a team in this market should have given the level of intensity and given the fact that they upped ticket prices this year.

Like they upped ticket prices for this season, right?

So that to me suggests that being a cap floor team is a harder sell.

Not being an upper limit team.

Yeah, absolutely.

But my point is, I think if you're raising prices during a season in which you're also telling your fans that we might not win, you should be behaving like a big market team.

Be consistent.

If you're rebuilding and we're going to be a cap floor team and we're going to use that to accumulate...

And we're going to, you know, take some of that savings to build out our organization and our practice facility and run like a world-class front office and have really experienced coaches to aid in development and on and on.

And we're going to out, you know, we're going to build our scouting staff out and we're going to like really be efficient about accumulating, but we're going to be saving money on, on the roster.

And we're also going to cut fans a break in terms of ticket prices.

Like how can anyone object to that?

That makes sense.

It's not the ideal plan, but it makes sense.
