Paul Bissonnette

It was more about pace using all four lines guys.

He was comfortable with once again, I think like drew Miller was a fourth liner there when we were playing in those, in those series against them.

But yeah,

Another thing, too, boys, is as much as I love him and he's a legend, his first Ballot Hall of Famer, greatest American-born player of all time, but is Patrick Kane still on your roster next year in your top six?

What I'm saying is like, all right, well, it's... I know what you're saying.

I don't know what serious cup contender has Patrick Kane in their top six.

Well, they're just trying to make the playoffs.

I get that, but...

We're at a fork in the road here.

Will patience prevail?

And will these guys that they've been talking about and grooming in a slow process coming up, is it going to work?

Are we going to finally see it next year?

And or is he going to make a bold move?

And like I said, I don't know what the price tag for what Robert Thomas was, but I'll tell you right now, I would have offered two first-rounders.

I would have offered Kasper, and I probably would have offered Finney.

yeah as well to get now all of a sudden you alleviate pressure off of Dylan Larkin because let's let's be open and honest I would say if you look at the 32 teams you would say is Dylan Larkin a first line center you'd say he is but he's in the bottom half of first line centers that are offered compared to all those other teams that's not being disrespectful that's just being flat out honest I think you would what slot him in Murr probably in the like the 18 to 22 range as far as

first line center in the league yeah i would agree with that look look at i don't know man if he's surrounded by a good team like he's a fucking awesome player and he plays hard like i i'm not saying i'm not saying that let's go through the list of david mckinnon barkov eichel

I would probably put, if you had to make a bet right now, do you think that Leo Carlson surpasses him, who's in Anaheim?

And that's what I said two, three years ago, and the fucking fans want to hang me on the fucking cross!

Because then all of a sudden... He was actually available.
