Paul Bissonnette

Paige Thompson's at 18 on this list.

So depending on who... I might be missing somebody on that list, but as we just read it off, you'd have Larkin now at the 17th best center in the National Hockey League, which, once again, he's a first-line center, but I don't think it would be a bad thing to have help where...

to alleviate that pressure.

You have to essentially have two in the bottom half of that top 32 list in order to make it work.

And Robert Thomas is that.

And he was available.

So why not go get him?

Here's another question for you that I was asked today.

Would you right now, would you trade Mariette Sider for Zach Wierenski with the contract remaining for Wierenski where you would have, I believe, only next year left?

Not knowing that he's going to... He's signed.

I'm what I'm curious about as far as this deadline move in order to get your team over there.

And remember Robert Thomas, wasn't like a slapping lipstick on a pig or a bandaid here.

We're talking to guy locked in for, I believe less money than Larkin.

So all of a sudden you have two first line centers that are both making under 9 million.

Okay.

Yeah.

Could you have got it done for two first-rounders, one of your goalie prospects, Kasper and or Finney, or either of those options in there?

I think you could have done that.

Can we put Pasha's face on here, but mute him?

And that's also a big reason as to why I think Pittsburgh could be dangerous.
