I've got to stop doing it.

yeah i mean i think you know it's interesting when stan said it was two years in the making like this is a part of a kind of a grand plan and seeing that they've had to try and round things out um you know it seemed to me bob like there's some commitment there from from daryl tates to spend a bit of money right putting people into these positions shouting out the staff yeah for sure like so it's commitment from the owner to round out the front office

I think some people who are really up and coming within the organization, you know, get a nice bump, you know, and well-deserved.

So, yeah, I mean, I don't have any issue with any of it.

And I think, you know, we see Kurt around the rink a lot.

He's been around a long time, and I think he –

You know, it sounds like he and Stan Bowman had had some conversations.

He really, you know, they felt like he could really add some stuff.

So, like, you know, the fact there's a general manager overseas.

I mean, some new innovative stuff.

It looks like they want to round out the analytics staff.

I know they've already hired a number of new people in that department as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, I would say those are all good things, Bob.

But now, you know me, the reporter in me, my head is always sort of like, yeah, but, right?

Yeah, but.

And I did have a yeah, but coming out of there.

And maybe you'll have the answer for me because I don't understand the way things are going to work necessarily.

But of all the ways in which you wanted to maybe beef up the organization and put some resources in place and really focus, I would have thought they might have developed a goaltending department, something more significant organizationally.

to focus on ensuring that is a strength of the organization year over year, over year, over year.
