Can I do a hot take of sorts?

Maybe not a hot take.

Sure.

Moderate take.

And I'm stealing this from several listeners.

Like, it's not the most unobvious thing.

It's the best way to do it.

But the Sharks getting second overall actually might have been, like, the silver lining best possible stereo for the Canucks other than winning.

Explain.

Well, there's a high probability the Sharks take a defenseman.

One of Verhoeffer, Reid is the other one.

And so that leaves Ivar Stenberg, or maybe McKenna, probably Stenberg, for the Canucks to take at third.

And if the Canucks got Stenberg at third, I think that would alleviate a lot of people.

A lot of folks would probably be like, okay, yeah, we didn't get McKenna.

Stenberg's a pretty damn good player.

It's like a 1A, 1B scenario for a lot of scouts.

So you're still getting, like, potentially the second best player in the draft just because San Jose wants a D-man so badly.

I like your optimism.

So maybe that happens.

I'm going to see the second best player in the draft.
