Because if you're always striving for the perfect outcome, the perfect situation, the perfect scenario, you'll be waiting forever.
Because you can't wait for the perfect situation.
And as long as you have confidence in the individuals involved, and I think that you have a good process, I'm okay with it, even though it's not what I would ideally prefer them to do.
And the second, maybe most important part about all this is the Canucks are in the very early stages of their rebuild.
coming up with reasons to not do things when it comes to drafting certain players at this early stage of rebuilding the hockey team, when we don't even know if Manny's going to be here in a few years.
We don't even know what's going to happen with these players that you can't get in your own way.
If you truly believe the best player available, it's Caleb at number three.
So even though it's not ideal, it doesn't mean it can't work.
Yeah, even if he wasn't fully truthful about it in terms of your posture, that's the best way to go about it.
You want to have all your options available to you.
And to your point, not...
what you may end up doing, which could hurt your own bargaining position here, potentially.
So either way, I like the fact that he was a bit more transparent, or at least had the optics of transparency in how he answered that question.
And I think that's important here.
Like, based on what he said, if we take it at full face value, the Canucks are not going to be afraid of drafting Caleb.
Now, that's something he also kind of intimated when he was first named general manager as well, when asked about this potential scenario.
But he got into more detail about it this time.
And I know people are saying like, for instance, like Chris and Burke Mountain, too many negative consequences in drafting young Caleb taking this unnecessary risk at this stage of his rebuild is not good management when there is no consensus in the top 10 of this draft, let alone the top three.
That's Chris from Burke Mountain.
