Sam McKee

You know, whether it was Mike or not, this guy ended up a 50-some goal scorer in the NHL.

He worked his tail off and deserved it.

But Mike is the one who saw it and said, come on up, fit right in, top six opportunities, liked him.

And has, yeah, Zach has that experience with him and knows that.

Someone who matches intensity.

And also, when you're a superstar, they don't rattle your cage.

Babs isn't coming in and doing anything different to Conor.

So there's two things with Babs that you have to consider.

One is, what is the resume, right?

I just can't believe we're talking about that.

Well, I know.

It's remarkable.

You know, I see people saying, you know, that he hasn't won a playoff round since God knows when.

Well, that's kind of part of it.

And part of that was after the Toronto time, part of it was by choice.

He had four more years of paid...

He didn't have to.

And for sure.

And so, but I even don't think that was the most egregious thing.

And I know that other people disagree, and that's fine.
