I mean, I was looking at this because I had a note on the Florida Panthers today.

They're five out.

They're in an eight-team battle for the last two wild cards box in the East.

Like, who's announcing that they're out?

So I think everyone's trying to get, in some ways, to the Olympic break and understand where they are.

You know, I get that OEL is not long-term, if at all, not even a game.

And same for Carlo, as Dregs just told us.

But it doesn't change the fact that with the TANF situation, the Leafs, I think, have to add a piece on the back end before the deadline.

Otherwise, I don't know, A, how they make the playoffs, perhaps, or even if they make the playoffs, how they can think that they have a chance of going past a round.

I mean, I guess there is.

Oh, and I know why you're asking.

It's funny.

Remember that day on December 23rd when it looked like the sky was falling in Toronto and Brad Treliving had a mini news conference in lieu of Mark Savard's firing and basically coming out and saying, you know, I'm not firing Craig Berube.

It feels like a long time ago now.

But at the end of that news conference, I was able to get in the last question to Brad Treliving.

And the question was,

are you looking at the market for selling or buying at this point?

And I thought it was a fair question given where the Leafs were.

And if you remember his answer, there was very little hesitation that he did not think the season was over and he was still looking to add if he could, within reason, of course.

The reason I point that out is that, you know, listen, I think Brad Trelowing's always going to do the right thing for the Leafs.
