They didn't, they often weren't generating.

And it's unquestionably a really disappointing end that, that there's going to be a lot of big decisions ahead for a lot of people within that organization over the coming weeks.

Yeah, and I think I've thought a lot about, like, is it a failure if this core only gets one Stanley Cup?

And I think ultimately the answer is it's so hard to win that it's never a failure if you only get one.

Because, I mean, ask the 2010s San Jose Sharks what they would trade to, like, only have one.

You know, like, it's really hard to win.

And not to... What we didn't know in 2022 is that Landeskog was going to miss...

three three seasons with three he had and i think that was really impactful and and cut into some of the window that they had i think there's probably a middle ground between because when you're looking at i mean the big changes they could make are they could they could fire the coach and and jared bednar could be out of a job and i think there's going to be a lot of those conversations speculating on that in the coming days but i i think with the roster itself like you already made your big shake up with the miko ranton and trade it's it's going to be more

tinkering around the edges.

And I wonder about players like Val Nachushkin, Arturi Lekin, and guys who would presumably have some trade value who now, with the cap rising, some teams might be interested in getting in on.

Could they use some of those guys to maybe get a little younger?

Because I think if you look at this team,

Makar is going to be good for a while.

He's 28.

McKinnon's still an elite player, and I think you look at the way he takes care of himself and you can assume he's going to be elite for a while.

But I wonder if there's room to get younger around the edges, especially knowing that Brock Nelson isn't going anywhere.

He just signed.

They have kind of Devontae's is under contract.

These are guys that you want around, but you also don't want your whole team to be

over 30, which a lot of it was this year.
