Or McDavid plays on 60%, and 60% McDavid is still better than 25, 35 of the guys in the game.

I mean, I think there's legit conversation about pretty significant changes, coaches, management.

They've already taken a big swing at the goaltenders.

But this whole year, they played the same way and the concerns have always been the same.

They've been a little bit

A little bit leaky, a little bit unreliable.

Defensive coverage has not been great beyond the goaltending.

And he hasn't been able to get them back.

So I'm not saying he can't, because obviously you just mentioned he did.

They were really good defensively for two straight years.

Maybe it's personnel, maybe the team's tuning them out.

I don't know.

But, oh, what other changes?

You can't, there's only so many changes you can make personnel-wise.

I'm sure they'll explore everything.

The same way the Leafs are exploring Morgan Rielly, they will explore Darnell Nurse.

Like, I think they have to put everything on the table to,

knowing you got two years and a discount.

And if you come back next year with the exact same group and it doesn't go well, you wonder if Conor McDavid turns into Quinn Hughes or Austin Matthews.
