And I think those moments where you see those big trades happen that shake the sporting world, they also bring more attention to it.
And I know it's scary and it's bad.
We saw the Canadian markets with Matthew Kachuk and we saw with Quinn Hughes, for instance.
When we start getting movement amongst your best players, that also brings more attention to your game.
So I'm really fascinated about where the game's going to go here.
And the fact that I know fans of the markets where you lose those players is frustrating, but big-time player movement does energize an entire league and also creates outside interest.
Look, friction creates the best attention.
The drama it creates.
Yeah.
And like we talked about before,
You don't like seeing players in Canadian markets ask out.
At the same time, looking at what's happening in Edmonton, especially with the whole Mike Babcock thing, the latest on it is Oilers want to hire Mike Babcock.
Now the National Hockey League, at the behest or request of the NHLPA, is going to...
conduct a full investigation into what happened or did not happen fully with the Columbus Blue Jack is a short stint in which he invaded players privacy and he got fired before he even had a chance to coach a game for that team and there's been more reports about hey it was only tip of the iceberg the stuff that came out there's more out there
It just seems like a mess in Edmonton.
It's like the beginning of the end.
And maybe those guys are so good, McDavid and Dreisaitl, that next year they play with such motivation and the team is so fired up that they have a good year.
But doesn't that seem like it's the beginning of the end almost in Edmonton now for this group?
Especially with how they're running out of ideas and now you're going with the Mike Babcock thing.
You're adding layer and layer of complication and issues into a situation they already had enough to deal with.
