I think Cooper did a great job.

I had Marty St.

Louis on my ballot as well because I did not expect Montreal to have as many points as they did.

So I don't think it's a lifetime achievement award.

I mean, I didn't view it that way, but I...

I voted for him because I thought he did a great job with a team that was limping along for long portions of the season.

Patrick is a... I noticed a completely different person than the one we might think of earlier in his career.

We got a chance a couple of times to do games, or I did this year.

I talked to him at the end of last year when he got hired.

The guys seem to like playing for him.

He is a... Like, he is not this emotional...

you know, out of control at times guy that he used to be when he was behind the bench.

I don't know.

Does that, it doesn't, I don't think anything would surprise me, but I don't know.

Like what, what have they really said what they're looking for yet?

no no one really knows that means i wouldn't be i wouldn't be surprised with anybody because it's it's not like edmonton said we want stanley cup pedigree we want a guy that's been here before so hiring a untested coach would be a shock but in toronto they haven't said that so i don't i don't know that i would be shocked with anything um

teams are talking to lots of people right now and every time someone gets out to an interview it seems like an agent or well an agent mostly leaks that out somewhere and now it's to be talked about sometimes I think they're trial balloons like

A guy comes in for an agent, and that name gets punted out into the universe, and they just read and react.

Not react, they just read and accumulate what everybody says.

And then they have to make their own decision.
