So when I talk about three years, I'm talking about the AHL as well.

Just the NHL club.

But with Stenberg, like, he's played... He's in the lineup next year, 100%.

He's played against men in Sweden, and he's a dynamic player.

I think with Malhotra as well, you know, you're playing the long game here, but my worry with this is, are you drafting for a premium position, or are you drafting for the player?

And we've seen that in previous drafts, where good players have been taken a little bit higher...

than they need to be based on the position they play.

It's not a best player.

And I'm not making that comparison, but Barrett Hayden is one that comes to mind.

Yes, Barry Kotkaniemi is another one that comes to mind.

take the player that's going to be a game-breaking talent.

Because I know it benefited the Vancouver Canucks with Quinn Hughes, but it can work the other way as well if you end up taking those players because you're saying, hey, this is the need we have.

This is a premium position.

Yeah, Philly... I don't think that applies in this one.

A couple of things.

They're the underdog to start it off with.

They have a 2-0 lead in that game last time out where you feel good about yourself, and then what happens?

Carolina just chips away, chips away, storms back, wins in overtime, and Carolina, they just look...

They look comfortable in their own skin this year.

Like, you know, previous years, and part of this is also quality of competition.
