It's the general manager's job is to, you know, listen to agents or players if they're talking about a trade.

I don't necessarily know that that's the coach's job.

to intervene with it, but I think there's conversations too that come from it.

Again, once you get the information, it's out there and there's knowledge of something or you've had conversations with your GM, I think there's always room to go backwards and talk to the player and figure out how you're going to work through that.

You know, not talking about Dylan, but oftentimes in those situations, sometimes things happen and they happen right away and sometimes they don't.

And it's still the responsibility of the team and the club to be successful on a nightly basis.

So if something like that does happen with a player in general,

I think that it happens and your team moves forward in training camp.

But if it doesn't happen, again, I think you table it.

I always think it's good just to table things, just to put it on the table and talk about it and how you're going to move forward inside the team and what's best for the player, what's best for the team, and how do you manage that situation together.

I think you absolutely do.

If you're I always say that if I bring somebody into my office, old dog was never there.

But if I bring no, no, no, no, no.

If I bring somebody into my office and I challenge them, the worst thing that you could do is give them seven minutes and put them on the fourth line.

And so if that was Roddy's intent, just to nudge him, just to say, hey, listen, it's an honest fact.

He didn't embarrass anybody.

He didn't berate anybody.

He said, listen, we need more.

If your power plays down, you say...

We need more on the power play.
