Where are you finding that player?

Nobody should be fooled with, oh, this Team A or Team B or the Leafs have got $20 million in cap space.

So what?

So does everybody else.

The cap's going up.

Everybody's got cap space all over the place.

And by the way, there are no free agents.

So if you're going to get into a trading scenario, who or what are you going to trade?

There's not enough assets to trade forward.

So I personally, when I looked at the Leafs and, you know, they let Brad go and they were going to hire whoever they did, my thought was this is a time where you've probably got to spend a little time accumulating some assets as opposed to trading them off.

I just don't, I don't see a quick fix.

Like I know priority one he said was, Chayka said was to fix the blue line.

With who?

No kidding.

And how are you getting them?

Oh, I think it's a time to turtle a little bit and say, like, we've got to accumulate some assets so we can have some options going forward.

I find it ridiculous when I hear people talking, and I'm not talking specific to the Leafs because it's in almost any other place I hear too.

Well, we need a scoring winger.

We need a big mobile defenseman.

We need a creative center.
