I mean, uh, the one thing I will say is better has one more year on his contract.

They may try to let him run that out with this nucleus.

I mean, it's still a Nathan McKinnon and kill McCarr.

And I think, uh, not to make excuses, but if kill McCarr is healthy, I think it's a different looking team, but every team has injuries.

So you can't really play that card.

The bottom line is they've got to fix this power play.

It was problematic all season, and it was absolutely horrific in this series against Vegas.

So I think it starts with the power play.

Well, I mean, Chris McFarland is, you know, op for GM of the year.

He's made a string of great trades.

uh, to, to, to assemble this roster.

I mean, he's, he's, he's sought after, um, you got, you got Joe stack, you know, overseeing all of this and, uh, God, that's a great question.

I, I mean, he would be a, I mean, he's just a, he's a master pulling off nice deals, but in this one, in this particular instance, you know, maybe they had too much speed.

Maybe they had too much finesse for, uh, solving that neutral zone trap.

Well, that's the thing.

And then, you know, you try to get trappings in front of the net, but I don't know how many guys you have on this roster who are good at tipping shots in front of the net.

Maybe that's an area you address.

But if you watch Vegas, even when they got it in the zone, Vegas had like everyone in front of the net.

There was no room to get shots through.

There was, you know, and Hart was awesome.
