You know, they really...

it looked like they were having a hard time finding themselves.

And I don't know if that was the, the strife with the coach, what have you, but you know, you can see how he's come in there.

He's kind of taken a little, it seems like it's the firing has kind of taken a little pressure off the team, allowed them probably to free up a little bit.

And there's, he's certainly getting the most out of every single player on that roster.

Yeah, no, I met with Neil Glassberg and Keith Pelley for a couple hours and just talked about getting to know one another first.

I'd never met Keith Pelley, so I just got to know him.

I met Neil Glassberg a few times before that and just had a good, frank conversation about the team, about the direction, my thoughts on what they needed, both in the front office and on the ice with respect to the players.

And, you know, I got good feedback on my conversation with him, but they were going in a different direction.

They couldn't afford him.

That may have been an issue, too.

Well, that's going to be the difficult thing is when you have no move clauses and limited no trade clauses and all the rest of that, you have to find the perfect fit.

And so, you know, you're going to do a lot of beating the drum and I'm making a lot of phone calls trying to find a fit, trying to see what coming back.

Is that going to be a fit?

You know, it's one thing to move off a player, but what is coming back?

You still got to fill holes.

And what are you able to get?

And so...

That'll be the interesting part.

They've got to get faster on the back end.
