So I do think it's a bit of a balancing act that they do need to have outgoings before they bring other players in that have any significant contracts.

And I think

We can learn a lot in the first year about this team, but I think the first year is also a lot about them trying to be patient and let things play out a little bit too and not rush into situations.

And we've seen this with other managers too when they first come in.

The first year is you don't do all your –

You don't do everything right away.

You kind of sequence things out.

You let things play out, let things breathe a little bit.

And the other part is, how many Canuck players had their values diminished last year?

The goaltendering, for instance, Lankan and Ademko, both, you'd say, had their values diminished based on what happened last year.

Marcus Pedersen struggled after the team gave up a first-round pick to acquire him.

Bras Besser had a down year.

down here by his standards we all know where ep40 is at and part of it's going to be rebuilding value if you can't move these guys out so i think a lot of it is going to be patient so in terms of us learning we're going to learn some things but i think the great grander conclusions are going to take some time for us to figure out what did their reported interest in mccarran say about their plans well so i think that they truly want to have some toughness like they want to have somebody with character and toughness on the

their teammates, but also play every game.

I think there's a chance that Curtis Douglas comes back, but the biggest hesitation

obvious that he's not a player that can play every night and play 10, 11 minutes.

I think they want to have someone like that in the lineup that has experience, that can defend their teammates, is a good teammate, but can also play and be an example of, you know, if you're bringing up, you know, Anatu Ratu, not saying Ratu has to become AJ McCarron, but for instance of like, well, this is how you can be successful in the National Hockey League.

You're bringing younger guys up.

You have an example to show like, here's a guy that

He protects his teammates.
