Louis, but it's going to cost us a lot of assets.

It's going to cost us a really good prospect, maybe multiple picks, maybe a good roster player.

Do we go the, it's not going to cost you very much to acquire a guy like Elias Patterson, but the risk that he doesn't produce for you is massive.

What would you rather do?

How is that trade for 34-year-old defenseman Justin Falk looking right about now?

Was it a mistake to trade Philip Hronik?

Yeah, it's just that Hironix turned into a really good player, and I mean, the pick that they...

that they got was used on Axel Sandin Pelika.

And, you know, look, he's probably going to be a good player in the NHL.

But I'm just wondering about the patience level.

Like, if they had kept Hronik, they wouldn't have had to trade for Justin Falk.

Probably.

This is all in theory.

And the Red Wings might be in the playoffs because it seems to me that Red Wings fans were all in on the rebuild.

But now, after years and years of rebuilding, they're kind of like, all right, now's the time.

We should be ready to roll.

And they're still not, apparently.
