Also finishing the text, Klepov will be the guy people regret taking earlier.

You're a Klepov guy, right?

And the benefit here is the Canucks, even just going back to the D-man conversation, it's like you shouldn't be in a position that's like, oh, we don't need that.

The Canucks actually need everything.

Yeah.

If you dropped in a number one D-man and that player became a number one D-man, great.

Like a little bit less pressure on Zeev Booyam and all these things.

A little bit less pressure on Tom Villander.

It just slots everyone in better positions.

Awesome to have an overqualified number two D man who can be an offensive dynamo.

Like, awesome outcome.

And also, I think the reason, like, I'm pro Stenberg if he happens to be there at three over the centers is they need high-end talent.

They need high-end talent in the forward ranks.

So if there's a situation where McKenna or Stenberg slip there,

Take a dynamic wing, and to your point about Akhlepov, if he falls to 24 or something like that, seems unlikely, but if he falls there... The Canucks need everything.

Yeah, absolutely.

So, again, traditionally, I would still build through the middle, of course, but...

If you're telling me like it's somewhere down the line, you're going to need high end wings.

If you're in this opportunity where you could take a guy to me who looks so polished in Stenberg or we look so dynamic in McKenna, take those because that's still like it might be best player available, but also fits a need.

I do want to talk about what might happen before Vancouver.
