But this team right now, if you've got a top three pick and potentially a top two talent sitting there, you need game breakers.
And Jamie, we've talked a lot this year.
I was doing post-games, pre-games, the games itself.
You need long-term, you need individuals that can change the game for you and are potential game breakers.
So if Stenberg's there at three, you take that pick and run.
Yeah, and I think with Stenberg, you have to look at it from that perspective of...
Yes, of course, when you've got an option.
If Leo Carlson was in this draft at 6'3", and whatever, 200 pounds, or a player of that, you'd probably go with the individual that is built that way to say, hey, I'd love to have Stenberg...
to be that you know heavy to do that but he's not he's a different type of player he's an individual that i think overall when you're looking at the way that the game is played is he an intelligent player is he a player that's going to engage in battles is he a guy that's going to give you offense with the responsibility is he nhl ready which you talk to a lot of people he's ready to go right he might be more nhl ready than mckenna for a lot of people um and
That, to me, is something that I think you have to focus on.
The size aspect, if you've got a 5'11 player versus a 6'3 player, of course, you're going to lean 6'3, but that does not cancel you out in terms of being a good player.
I think the Zach Benson one is a great one.
You know, I just want guys who are going to... Yeah, exactly.
Like, look at the Montreal Canadiens in their top line right now.
They've got a lot of high skill, but they are perimeter.
That's a perimeter line right now.
That team is engaged in this...
in this series right now after game one despite their top line being pretty perimeter outside of you know power play minutes you want players in the long term because nobody shows up to the NHL playing that way you're going to have to adjust to a certain extent yeah with Benson it didn't take him that much time other players especially if you're making the leap from Europe it might take a little longer
