Landon Ferraro

But to me, like, that looked like a team that's starting to kind of figure that out.

And that's what you're hoping for at the end of the year here.

Yeah.

I mean, it definitely plays into things.

I think it also really matters how he interacts with the group, how he works in practice, how he works in the gym, all of that.

Like if,

he's you know if all those teammates can see he's doing everything he possibly can coming into next year and through the year if he's here and you know his points aren't there still but he's doing everything he can yeah guys would be you know annoyed that their best player isn't playing at that level but

it's not something they'd hold against them at that point, right?

Like if you see the guys doing everything he can, but... But I guess that begs the question, will he do it?

Yeah, and that's where I was going to go.

If he's doing it that way, it can work.

But has he done that?

Is he going to do it?

Like, you know, all the talk last summer was that he's put in all the work and he's done all this and...

I mean, yeah, it looked like he had a decent summer, but it didn't translate to anything tangible.

It didn't translate to his speed coming back or him becoming a game-breaker with his play with the puck or all of those things.

None of it came back.

I'm still not going to sit here and say that he didn't try this year.

He, in a lot of ways, tried, but...

you have way more to your game and you have to affect it way more.
