What did you make of him holding court?

Yeah.

And, you know, the thing he spoke about was body language and energy.

But you have to lead by example.

And he spoke about how challenging last year was and how you had to really ensure that you don't yourself fall victim to those ebbs and flows and kind of change your personality day to day.

Did you find the best coaches were the ones that day in and day out, regardless of wins or losses, had the exact same approach and mentality?

Well, and you know, I don't think when Adam Foote was here, he wanted to coach confusion and wanted things to be unpredictable in terms of how the players weren't grasping or executing what he was trying to accomplish.

But it's interesting listening to Manny, and we spoke to him as well, and he mentioned creating an environment where there's predictability for the players so they can just read and react off the system.

It's easy to say that, but is the implementation of that more challenging than just simply trying to do it?

Yeah, you too.

That is Landon Ferraro calling in on Able Auctions Hotline.

And, you know, that discipline and that patience is obviously going to be a big part of Manny's job here with these younger players.

And he mentioned how the NHL is not a developmental league, but at the same time, you are helping develop players at the National Hockey League level.

I think when that discussion comes up about is the NHL a developmental league or not, I think generally it's not.

But there is a level of development that can happen at the National Hockey League level.

But if you're talking about the basic... There's a baseline, right?

If you're so far below the baseline of the details and the habits you need to be a National Hockey League player, you're not going to learn those in the NHL.

You got to learn those and then come to the National Hockey League.

But if you have those habits, then there is a level of progression that you can expect in the National Hockey League.

Yeah, I mean, to that point, who's the individual that's the most forward-facing person of the team?
