Well, first of all, I just want to say it's really nice to see that you found your phone or you fixed your phone.

With what?

I think it's a risky play for sure because, yeah, like if he goes this rehab route, comes back, you know, the Devils, whatever, miss playoffs or fizzle out in round one, and then he has to get a surgery, like that's a fucking disaster.

And it seems like that's, you know, very much within the realm of possibility.

I don't know if it's his call or the team kind of agrees on whatever the course of action is.

But, yeah, I mean...

It's risky for sure, and it's unfortunate how it happened.

Very concerning.

I don't put any blame on Tate McRae.

Kind of dish the blame, but Tate is free of blame.

And you know what?

So he had shoulder surgery on the other shoulder last summer.

So, I mean, I guess in a way it's good that it's not that same shoulder acting up.

So if he does eventually get surgery on this one, he'll be kind of in the same boat as Jack where he has two bionic shoulders.

So, you know, obviously not good to see his shoulder get hurt, but at least it wasn't the one he just had surgery on.

Yeah.

Yeah, really unfortunate.

But you know what?

I think the Devils will use that cap space to address some other areas of need.

I just said I don't think he's going to get dealt now because of the circumstance.
