So I think they're going to match.
I think they would have matched either way.
But I think with this little structural wrinkle, if they have a little spite a year from now and say, hey, you know what, maybe we want to use our cap space elsewhere.
I think they got a couple of different outs here.
Yeah, I know AK is a big tennis fan.
I mean, I'd call it an unforced error, right?
Like, it's tough when you're a negotiator, especially one who's really confident, who has a real, you know, definitive style like a Pat Verbeek.
So sometimes just sit back and say, like, listen, I don't have the leverage here.
And sometimes you've got to take a different line.
And in this case, it sounds like they were negotiating.
They were throwing about numbers.
You know, they didn't see this coming, obviously.
It puts them in a really tough spot.
Probably puts Verbeek in a tough spot with his owner saying, you know, let's match and bite the bullet on 40 mil.
Even a billionaire doesn't love that.
Flipping it around, though, like, there's hockey and there's business.
And if you're the owner and even if you're the team, I think you sit back and say, listen, this is a great young player.
Let's separate business from hockey.
We're infinitely better with Leo Carlson in our room than outside of it, as would any team.
But, like, you look at Anaheim Centre depth, you know, it's thin after him.
