But doesn't ultimately, you can't use logic in this decision, right?

Like you're going to cheer for who you want to cheer for, whether or not you've made this decision.

And I think that first game in Montreal is going to be like crazy.

They're a collection of good players, but is there a great player on Utah?

Okay, Landon, I got a tough question for you, but I think it's going to be one that's going to be debated.

With the Canucks trying to evolve their culture and they've shipped out a lot of veterans and they might ship out some more.

Let's say, that's a hypothetical, let's say they're not able to or they choose not to trade Elias Pettersson and he comes back next season and there's no real change to his game.

can that affect culture in a negative way when you've got this highly paid veteran that isn't pulling on the same rope?

Because I think in the past he hasn't, right?

Yeah.

I mean, I think it would depend how that slump occurred.

I think so much of Pedersen is eye test.

Like, I just think you know it when you see it.

And, you know, for me, it was, you know, watching him down the stretch and into the playoffs a couple of years ago, I almost couldn't believe my eyes.

with some of the stuff I was seeing, like the drop off was so significant.

And I don't know if a lot of people truly appreciate it at the time, but what's crazy to me is we still haven't gotten a great answer for why this has happened.

And I have seen so many discussions on social media is like, does anyone truly know why this happened?

And it's just, I mean, how many, how many times have you landed?

Just wonder like, what has happened to this guy?

And think of all the power play opportunities he's had to shoot the puck.
