Go ahead, Drake.

Yeah, and Lacombe almost made Team USA right out of the gate on his own.

I mean, that's my understanding.

He was that close to making it to begin with.

Because he plays in Anaheim, I don't think he gets the same chatter about him than other players do, depending where they play.

I will also say that his skill set is more similar to Seth Jones as well, in terms of replacing the kind of player that you're replacing.

I don't know.

Lane Hudson's a pretty special player, though.

And if he's not on Team USA and...

in four years in the south of France.

By the way, I'd like to go to cover that Olympics as well in the south of France.

If Lane Hudson's not there for Team USA, something's wrong.

I mean, he's so dynamic.

I could have seen him succeed at these Olympics, but Dreg's covered it really well.

Between Quinn Hughes and Zach Wierenski, there's lots of offense on that blue line, and Team USA really focused on different worlds.

Quinn Hughes is going to play 30 minutes a night in the Olympics, in my mind.

So that's how they approach that, for better or for worse.

And again, I can't tell you how many times Bill Guerin and the conversations I've had with him in general has talked about how it really hit him and his management team how heavy and hard

The game was at Four Nations, the first best on best hockey in more than a decade.

They came out of that tournament saying, man, there is no ice out there, and it really influenced some of their decisions.
