But, you know, another player that is going to feature.

Now, the fear that I have, and it's not specific to Caleb, it's also up to, you know, any other centerman, is the premium position matters.

But you don't want a situation where it feels like just because it's a premium position, you're looking at number three because he's a centerman.

You know, we go through the Barry Hayden conversations, the Barry Cook-Kiniemi conversations in that draft year.

Of course, it's a premium position, but you don't want to feel like you're reaching to get that centerman.

This is a multi-year process with the Vancouver Canucks, and you have to treat it that way.

So if there's a better defenseman or a better way...

best player, and I understand the center position is a premium position.

I'll leave that to the draft analyst to talk about whether Caleb is a number three or not, but I think you have to be very careful because we've seen that.

The reason Quinn Hughes fell to the Vancouver Canucks was because some teams were reaching on centermen that probably needed to go a little lower and benefited the Canucks there, but you've got to be careful at number three because it's such an important pick.

Yeah, the range is kind of interesting because you've gotten him at three on some boards.

You know, I see our colleague Sam Cosentino has him.

Going to the Vancouver Connection has updated mock drafts all the way to number 10, you know, to another team, right?

So...

What's intriguing about him is, yes, he's got the lineage, which, if anybody's talked to Manny Malhotra, I've had a conversation with him, you know, he's a high-character guy, and it seems like Caleb is very much that as well.

Six foot two, over 180 pounds, like...

He's 17 years old, but he is, he's very much growing into a man's body.

You start talking about his production at the regular season level to put up 80 plus points in the 60 game season.

Sure, right?

Like that production kind of came out of nowhere because you're right.
