Paul Bissonnette

I'll tell you my first training camp with him.

He showed up.

all brand new gear skates out of the box trainer sharpens them goes on the ice during scrimmage dancing everybody best player on the ice and then once camp really got going um i think that that was like the the year after where he he got all these rookie bonuses so like i obviously wasn't with him the season before and he was on the bike we were next to each other and he got like a million dollar bonus check and frank bonomo went and dropped it off to him and i'm like what's that and he opened it and showed me and i was like a million dollars on a check

He didn't know how to say a word of English, so he just showed me, and he's like, I think he went and bought a new Porsche that week.

But I was going to ask also about Sid.

It's kind of weird, right?

You're close to the same age, and this guy is basically on hockey's Mount Rushmore.

Do you maybe consult with him more than you would a normal player?

When you're about to hire a head coach, do you have to be like, hey, Sid, what's up?

Yeah, it's pretty impressive unless you're doing the just for men's or something.

Okay, so I want to ask a fun one here.

If you had a genie in a bottle, and we could do three, but almost maybe if you want to narrow it down to one, if you could have one redo on a move you've made throughout your NHL career as a GM.

That wasn't him.

That was Shandy.

And that's what tore it all apart.

That's what they argued over and why it parted ways, right?

No, because Carlson's trying to recruit me.

They sent me the cardigan, but I'll tell you this right now.

I'm not jumping on the bandwagon because I don't have much luck right now, even though Eric extended the olive branch.

I won't bring you guys down, I promise.
