This will be one of the biggest challenges probably in a long time because it's up against the Olympics.

And if a star gets knocked out early...

He ain't going.

Right?

If one of the star players from the Olympics on Team Canada gets knocked out early or is missing in the playoffs, it's highly unlikely he's going.

Brad's job now is to convince players to want to come.

And Jason's another guy who can relate to the guy.

He's young enough.

He can pick up a phone.

Everybody will listen to Jason Spezza.

And I think it's built that Brad works the phones.

He talks to everybody.

He knows everybody.

He knows every agent.

He knows every assistant general manager.

This guy can get answers quickly.

He's put in some time and it certainly doesn't help or hurt the success of the turnaround in Pittsburgh, whether or not it's got longevity, sustainability remains to be seen based on the fact that, you know, three best players are still old.

Pittsburgh's going to be in playoffs, and I think he just wants to show that he's still... He's up against the fact that he's really had no success.

Yeah.

Right?
