Uh, I can't make decisions based off of, you know, teams and what they're, what they want to do.

I've got to sit with Daniel and Henrik, um,

look at our strengths our weaknesses as a whole as an organization but i don't want to uh i don't want to waste time with it i i i want to get to it so to you know manny obviously i've worked with manny we won a championship together um and we've got a there's a relationship there but i'm not ready to make a decision today on on all these moving parts

Yeah, well, oddly enough, you know, through this whole process, we were pro meetings last week and amateur meetings this week.

So, yeah, we're

We're well into that.

I thought the meetings were excellent.

Todd Harvey and his group are dialed in and still a little bit work left to do with the combine and some interviews.

But I think they feel very good about the upper part of their list and feel pretty strong about it.

Yeah, and it seems like every talent is a little bit different, right?

It's not just positionally, but even

the, the, the D men that are up and are all different player types.

You know, the wingers are, are similar, but different.

And so it's, it's, uh, it's an interesting, really interesting draft that I, I do think, um,

may go any way yeah and that's where uh just prep the group that you have to be ready to adjust based on selection uh teams trading up uh you know they just have to be even though you're at three and think oh well hey we just pick you we have to be on our toes and ready for for any scenario

Yeah.

I think the one thing veteran young player, you know, mid career is that we've decided to take a journey of,

of taking this slowly and step by step.

So is, I always say that the players themselves really will determine what our next steps are of, of their play there, the, the, the teammate, the, all those things, but there's, there's nothing that's, that's off the table, but if it fits into the vision and we all align that this is something that we should consider and do, there's nothing that,

that we wouldn't if it fits into the right steps that we're trying to take here to inch along and do this the right way.
