You know, when you... I did something like that a little bit in Soto.

Not much, but it's... Those are teetering points where...

When you get something, they're going to want to give something, and you just try to make sure that there's an equitable scale of how you manage it.

But sometimes if a player has a real concern about it, I usually try to remedy it, not in that year, but remedy it in the signing bonus.

So that you can not really attach it to that year, but what you in effect have done is moved the money from salary to bonus and got it currently.

It's avalancheal.

There's a, you know, when they don't have anywhere else to ski, they're on your mountain.

You know, they just go right over, right?

And I knew you were waiting for me to connect the two, but that's kind of how that, that's good.

That's right, you know.

Pretty good.

And so it's just like, next hill, because, you know, they've got a, in the talent thing, and most of the clubs are pretty strategic in saying, we're here for this period of time, but we don't

And we think our opportunity here is, our chances are low, but we're going to focus here, but we've got to take a look at this first.

So they're pretty good at giving us advances so that we can all line up accordingly to how the market may unfold and what it may do.

Winter meetings are kind of interesting because you wake up and you're getting your early morning calls, and I have to do the media stuff, which is a complete memory game for me.

And so you've got to go there and do that, and then you have club meetings, and then I had to prepare Dylan for this, and tonight we have...

six meetings scheduled.

So it's, you know, you're going to be up late night and you're going to be, and we kind of anticipated that what was going to happen, particularly with Schwarberg, would happen.

And so consequently that moves more immediacy to the potentials of the clients that I have and the position players.

Can you say if Pete's here today or?
