I know it's the most overused word, sports.

I hate to keep using it, but it is true.

We're trying to build something.

Yeah, well, it's a young league now.

Well, I mean, listen, I don't, like, you know, you get the people that say to you, hey, play the young guys and let them make their mistakes and play.

Well, I mean, I get it to a point, and you're trying to develop a guy, you know, put some guys out in pressure situations, see if they can handle it.

I understand that, but, you know, the type of mistakes you can't accept are, you know, the...

the carelessness, the not work ethic and stuff like that.

So you're developing the player to be an everyday NHL player.

We have some guys who every day are trying to be an NHL player.

So I've got to try to put them in the right positions.

But there's also got to be internal competition and all that sort of stuff.

Yeah, I think the development, it really isn't a development league, but it is developing a player at this level.

You know, let's take a guy like Gabranca.

He's trying to be an everyday NHL player.

And we've been trying to, you know, all year, you know, try to develop into that.

And he's way ahead of he was two months ago.

So he is developing into an NHL player.

So I just use him as an example.
