And the organization spent critical time.

They got Connor McDavid.

Two years left in a deal.

They got a win.

And so I think the feeling was they needed a different voice.

Well, Paul, I mean, I've known Chris Knobloch for 25 years, right?

So, you know, I used to have him when Ryan was an oiler.

He used to come on my show, and people go, why the hell would you have a coach from the Kootenai Ice on your show?

And I'm like, because this guy is going to be an NHL coach one day.

It wasn't an accident.

He ended up with Erie.

The Oilers were helping Sherry Bassett out.

He was the GM and owner of the team at that time.

And Sherry liked Chris, but it was an accident that he ended up there.

And his career took off in an area where he became the first major junior coach in history to win four straight 50-plus win seasons.

That's hard to do.

People go, oh, he was a byproduct of David.

He won 50 games two more years after Connor was playing with the Oilers.

So, you know, I've watched this guy's journey.

You know, I'm in year 18 doing the orders.
