She's been in Abby a lot as well.

Does that mean she's a consideration?

One thing I do know is that internally, they do think very highly of Emily as well.

And there's a feeling that, you know, as she was a player agent in the past, as she kind of come in and she worked on the contract stuff and the cap stuff, that she could be capable of doing more things and have her role expanded potentially internally.

Could that mean that RJ is considering his two AGMs as perhaps one of them becoming the GM of the Abbotsford team?

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.
