And, you know, it's Paul Coffey all over again.

You know, Coff matured into a better defender as the seasons moved on.

You know, he saw the importance for it for winning cups.

And, you know, he took pride in it.

But, I mean, at the end of the day, he was an offensive machine.

And when the team was, you know, swirling, you want to do something.

So the fact that he was still in the organization in a senior management role, you know, it's like when you're asked, hey, just tell me what you need me to do and I'll do it.

And I'm sure that call came from...
