Like maybe, you know, obviously there was rumors of both Pavel Menchukov maybe leaving the Ducks or Olin Zellweger.

Like, could that be a deal that works out obviously to Californian teams trading?

Kind of hard to see, but like there's something where it opens up a trade avenue for,

where you're still getting the best player available, but then you're using your other assets to address your needs.

That's where it feels like is the right move.

That's why I think Stenberg is the right fit.

That's the thing.

You look at the depth that that Bulldogs team had.

And I think if you looked at the beginning of the season and you look at what Malhotra did last year in the BCHL, knowing the Bulldogs were going to go all in this year...

It wouldn't have been surprising if all of a sudden we're seeing Malhotra play fourth line heading into the playoffs or gets traded for a current asset.

But he was one of the best players every single game this year.

Outstanding numbers in the regular season.

Lights out in the playoffs.

You put that all together, you've got a guy that's just...

So smart, so skilled and productive at every level.

You look at the CHL USA Top Prospects Challenge.

He was unbelievable in that.

You look at the OHL Top Prospect game.

Unbelievable in that too.

Anytime the spotlight's been on him, he's been fantastic.
