Well, overall, when you get a player like Gavin, who's ranked number one like this, it's always an exciting time.

There's also other good players in the draft.

So we talked about the possibilities.

Obviously, the odds with the Leafs were pretty low compared to Vancouver and Chicago.

So you always talk about the possibilities and all that and what happens.

I mean,

Then you start talking about what also it could be.

But, you know, we haven't really dove too deep into it yet, to be honest with you.

Sure.

Collectively here, but it was a surprise.

Like, even the Sharks moving to second, you know?

Yeah, well, you know, the opportunity with Sydney, obviously, that was like 20 years ago.

Things are different today.

The Combine, you know, we'll have many, many more conversations.

We're going to have more discussions.

There's going to be more of all of that going on between now and June 26th, so to speak.

So usually we have a pretty good idea leading up to the draft, like a few days before, a week or so before, but...

Honestly, the exception of perhaps, even I remember when John Tavares went first overall, Garth Snow kept his cards very close to his wrist.

Yeah, it had meant one second.

And we represent Matt Bichene as well.
