Going back three or four years, he was being tipped as somebody to watch in the NHL for a GM job.

Now, the Sedin is a surprise one to me because

If this does happen, which it seems like it will, what will this role encompass, right?

Is this a helping leadership within the organization, whether that's executive leadership and players?

Is that overall creating a better culture in the organization?

And will there be hockey operations strategic direction as well?

Because they have worked in a player development role.

So I think the last 24 hours have obviously provided clarity for some fans that they were maybe hoping for an outside voice to come in.

I think that certainly,

could have been looked at as well but you know when you feel like you've gone through a thorough process when you feel like you have good people in the organization uh you certainly have to look at them and i think with ryan johnson it's certainly not a surprise that he's leading the race because if you go back two or three years guys you know his name was always there was there something to be said for bringing in a fresh view a fresh perspective an outsider's view i think there always is right and the fact that

where they hadn't talked to people, Jason, that is where I'd be concerned to say, you know, you didn't even explore that conversation.

There were a number of interviews.

So I think bringing an outside perspective, looking at an organization in a different way is really important.

But at the same time, I think there was a bit of a, maybe a situation where you're wondering, okay, you might have the guy in the building who,

just because somebody brings in a fresh voice, are you essentially saying, we really like you, but this guy's saying something different.

It kind of works both ways, right?

Like, do you essentially limit, you know, the previous experience or maybe the shine on this individual just because you're hearing something different?

So I, you know, I've talked about it before.

I think having an outside perspective, somebody that thinks outside the box is necessary, but both of those things,

Thinking outside the box doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be from the outside of the organization.
