He worked for the league.

So, yes, Chayka was away from the game, but I will –

It's not impossible for Chayka to know every player in the league.

Meanwhile, there are presidents in the league who are like, I don't know who this future Olympian is.

Right.

Right.

So if it's okay, can I insert my question?

This is a script.

question from later john chayka met with some of the writers and the beat guys afterwards and i wanted to ask you about those okay because you didn't really get the opportunity to explain it there what the hell's going on with your giant gap in the resume so i didn't use those words like steve simmons but this is what i this is what i asked and this is what he said why shouldn't people be concerned with the gap in your resume and yours away from a front office shop

I think people should always be concerned at all times.

That's the job of the fans.

From my perspective, the gaps are concerted efforts by myself to do other things, to get a breadth of experience, to see sports in a different way, in a different lens.

I've been very, very fortunate on business, run startup companies, run very large companies, run everything in between, raise capital, deploy capital, generate great returns.

And while that's not running a hockey team, I have been a general manager before as well.

I think players win championships first and organizations second.

And any one person would just be a part of that.

I don't I don't hate that answer at all.

No, you don't.

You don't got to believe him.

But it's I thought it was a very good question, Jesse.
