Mats Sundin

Comes from a great family.

I think...

And I hope that he understands the market of Toronto, that this is the place to win, right?

If I'm going to have success, there's no better place to do it than being a Maple Leaf.

So I'm really looking forward to talk to him.

Like, I think...

And I've been there myself.

Any players that don't make the playoffs and you go home and you sit and watch the playoffs and see the excitement from the fans and the players, and as you go into a long run, are eager to get back.

And I'm sure both Willie and Austin, they're all committed to have a great summer off ice, and they're going to be eager to make it into the playoffs again.

next year so but I think that goes for all players not only obviously they're two of the top stars but I think all players when you miss the playoffs you know there's a drive there and they got lots of time now to think about it to come back into training camp and the team

you know, has proven the previous years too that they're, they're, has had very strong regular seasons once spring comes around.

You know, as I said, I think there's a lot of evaluation that has to happen now.

I think it's too early until you actually meet players and everybody that works around the team to see what's actually been going on.

And like we talked about, what are great, some things that are great that are in place and other things that you want to add.

So we'll have to see.

Well, I think even though the game has changed, obviously, since I played and even if you look back five, six, ten years ago, I think the characteristics of a winning locker room doesn't change.

So and people say you don't really know what a great locker room is until you're actually there in a winning atmosphere.

Right.

So I think that has to be in place, I think.

And and, you know, that's something that has to be built within the players, within the organization.
