Listen, Ilya, thanks so much for making some time for us.

This was a really fun chat.

We look forward to seeing you at the draft.

And who knows, the Canucks have a lot of draft picks this year, so maybe we'll talk to you about being in Vancouver in the future.

Yeah, sounds good.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, absolutely.

And, you know, like...

You hear a lot of people talk about how advanced his two-way game is, how responsible he is at a young age.

The question is, to your point, where is that offensive upside at?

But obviously, we'll see how that goes.

But I love the fact that he's working on his fighting skills.

And not to say he's going to go and be a fighter in the NHL.

But it's like, hey, listen, he knows how to take care of himself.

And the other part of it is he talks about being more explosive because that's where the game's going.

You're 6'3", over 200 pounds.

You can be explosive as a two-way player.

If you push that offensive production up a little bit, he can be a really nice two-way centerman.

Now, where he ends up going, we know centers move up.

But again, he could be one of those players that could be very interesting for Vancouver at number 24.
