I wouldn't say that's not good process because just because there's no consensus outside the industry doesn't mean that the Canucks do not have consensus of who their top three is.

I think that's something that you have to really also separate here because I know when we look at the draft, and obviously we have our opinions.

We put a lot of work in.

I know Bik and myself, we spend a lot of time watching prospects.

We spend a lot of time looking into this.

But we're not going to sit here and pretend that we're NHL-level scouts that are in the rinks day in and day out.

And we're not sitting in the scouting meetings.

And in those meetings, they really...

grind each other to figure out okay who's number one who's number two who's number three and they and they do come to consensus within that group about okay here's who we truly think should be the guy number three so just because we don't feel good about the consensus just because we don't feel like there's a lot of separation doesn't mean that the decision makers see it the same way so i think we have to separate that whole idea of oh there's no consensus don't draft that player because as long as you're convicted and you feel like you've done the work and you feel confident about your rankings then go buy your rankings

Are there teams that have Malhotra at nine?

I know for a fact there's a team that has it in the top two.

I don't know if it's Vancouver.

I don't know if Vancouver does, but I know another team does.

I can't say, but I do know a team that does.

I don't know about Vancouver for sure.

All I know is like we talked about, I'm not sold on some of the narratives that Caleb is for sure ahead of guys like Stenberg.

I'm not sold on that being a fact.

But to your point, there are people that view Caleb in a very, very, in very high regard.

Now, before we get back to some of this discourse, we want to get to EP40.

We have some breaking news on the Vancouver Canucks.
