But you look at what they did this year with some of the money that was available.

Does that give you a ton of faith that Tristan Jari Brian brought in for his two more years at five, six?

Trent Frederick getting a seven or eight year contract.

He was a healthy scratch at times in the playoffs.

Does that give you a ton of confidence that, oh, yeah, yeah.

These guys are going to nail it.

They're going to find the value players around the league, the diamonds in the rough.

They're going to be creative and get it going.

I think skeptical would probably be a polite way to say it.

I'll be apparent here.

I would say probably not stupid people, but tons of stupid decisions.

Now, there are pressure points in these decisions, trades, commitments.

But I also don't, like, depending on the organization.

So let's say, oh, you're running, you're the GM.

You come to your, you say, okay, I'm signing Trent Frederick seven years.

Is the owner supposed to know better than you?

Yeah, I suppose.

But that assistant GM, he does that too many times.

He won't be an assistant GM for you for much longer.

Like there's that dynamic at play, which is probably not a healthy inner office dynamic.
