And even if that does happen, I would imagine they will still be looking to add to that management group.
But it was interesting that RJ mentioned when asked about filling out the management team that they have to consider their internal options for that Abbotsford GM gig as well.
Now, you can debate whether the player should have been committed to in the first place, but the actual numbers have kind of fallen in line.
Across the board, like there aren't really... I think the one that they maybe got off kilter a little bit was the Lankanen one, where you gave him as much as he got a little bit with the extra term.
But I would also say that was a more GM slash president driven...
Yeah, skaters.
And even the Demko one.
Whether you should have done it or not is a separate... When you negotiate a contract, you're negotiating the contract.
You're being told, negotiate this deal because we want this player signed.
That person's not deciding whether to sign the player or not.
They're simply negotiating that contract.
Or just over even 12 or above 11.6 at the very least, right?
And again, I know it's easy to look at it now and say, oh, they should have never given him the contract.
But at the moment...
it wasn't considered an overpayment.
Now, you could be skeptical of the player, but in terms of his production and numbers, and I do believe, like I said, that there is this sense internally that
there's acumen there that needs to be explored.
It goes back to something we talked about, that there is a feeling that internally they have some individuals that could do more, that could be empowered to do more.
Now, does that mean that that will for sure happen?
It's something to keep an eye on in mind because of what RJ mentioned when saying they are considering internal candidates when it comes for the Abbotsford GM position in and of itself.
