That's what I want, Matt.

I want aggression.

I want excitement.

I want what the fans want, which is let's get out of this pit and let's get to where we need to be.

I don't think there's a surprise Philip Ronick trade, but I, I do think there's still a good chance of a PD trade.

Now that the challenge there is, is, you know, what, even with retention, what is an acceptable return, even given the inherent risk to the other team, right?

Is a second round pick acceptable retention?

I don't think so.

I think you're still asking for more than that.

I don't think this is simply a salary dump because at the end of the day, the player at least plays defense and,

Now, doesn't score, needs a new environment, but the bet is the other team is not just taking a problem off your hands, but they are betting, say you're Kenny Holland, you are betting that this is a guy that can fill in a huge hole in my roster and can bounce back.

So that's what it is.

And so I think the connection...

hopefully holding firm and i assume they're holding firm on such an idea and that that is something that will happen because they've been smart about it and they've recognized there are teams out there that fundamentally do need to take a swing and try to win right now which is in the end like i said the canucks are going to try to take a swing hopefully in four years so they're in whatever team they're trading with whether it's montreal or la or what have you that they're ready to take a swing and uh that the player is something that they're willing to take about so there we are

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I'm glad you mentioned Tyson Forrester because he's the kind of guy that I think is a good thing to consider.

He's a guy that I would consider throwing a selkie vote at, right?

You know, I would consider throwing a selkie vote at Elias Pettersson.

Like, there is value in these players.

Forrester is on a much better curve right now than Pettersson is.
