I've done due diligence.

Serious due diligence.

Due diligence dangle is what we call it.

Due diligence dangle can confirm Keith Pelley has never eaten a person burger.

Now, Jesse, the next question comes from another fan favorite, Luke Fox, who's been on this show.

And he says another really important question.

How far away is this team from the Stanley Cup?

Luke Foxworth, for John and Mats, realistically, how far away is this team from contending for a Stanley Cup?

What season do you think you can get this thing going?

You want to take it?

The way I would think about it, Luke, is there's a gap right now between where we are and where we'd like to be.

I think a lot of the players underperformed.

I think there's lots of opportunity to get in there and find ways to do a better job with the internal group.

Having said that, I think it's reality that we're going to have to make some changes, and we're going to have to fill some holes, and there's some fundamental ways in which we're going to have to change the team.

And so I think that's what our goal is.

I think every season is sacred to our fans.

It's going to have to take some creativity.

We have to have some things go our way, but we certainly feel like we're well positioned with a core group.

Pause it there.

I like that answer.
