if and when he is traded by the Habs, which looks like an inevitability here at some point.

Now, it's not inevitable he comes to Vancouver, but he is getting traded, it seems like, based on what he said and based on what GM Kent Hughes had to say.

The question to me is twofold.

Should the Canucks get Brendan Gallagher?

And what do you think the price of acquisition should be?

Yeah, and I think we talked so much about how with the Sedins coming in, they want to reset the culture.

And having a veteran or two that's kind of walked that walk before understands the market.

And I know sometimes we obsess about local boys, but I think in terms of an actual rebuild and that leadership aspect, and even if he...

doesn't end up getting traded and is just here for the one year I do think that can have some real tangible benefits for the younger players because we have to reframe how we view this entire process it's it's about giving young players a chance it's about developing young players but also having the support system without spending too much money on it to allow them to learn the right way and I think Gallagher because he'd have one year left or if he signed a one-year deal I think that's the exact type of veteran you want I don't want to see them spending you know multi-year contracts on these types of players but you bring someone like that in I think that's exactly what you need in a rebuild

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

And I think that's something obviously that we'll see if it does come together here over the next little while.

And, you know, you mentioned Manny Malhotra and it still seems like he is going to be the head coach.

Would you be concerned if it doesn't happen this week, though?

I hear you on that, Donnie.

Listen, man, always a lot of fun, Donnie.

We'll chat with you next week, and we'll see where the cup final's at at that point.

Yeah, I hope so as well.

We'll see how it goes.

Thanks, man.

Thanks, guys.
