Oh, I think they're going to get better next year, but I think it was really fun to watch. Obviously, when a team loses a playoff series, it doesn't feel good, and it's no consolation to say, but this was so promising. But it is. I mean, they're such a young team. This is where I would love to see the San Jose Sharks win. next year or the year after.

But yeah, this is a team that absolutely, I think they surprised everybody in such a pleasant way. And I think next year could be really exciting for them.

He is as reported. Absolutely. I mean, he was from the first time he stepped on the ice with the San Jose Sharks. You know, what's funny for me, kind of seeing him up close, you know, he and Will Smith are attached at the hip. They're kids, you know, like you just I see them playing soccer together outside the locker room and they're giggling, right? They're children, right?

Um, but when it comes to hockey and the guy hates to lose, um, he has so much hockey. His IQ is so intensely high. Um, he's got such an aptitude for, for learning and he's a natural leader. I mean, he's not going to be the captain next year. I think he's not quite ready for that just in terms of his Asian experience, but he could be, and he is a leader on and off the ice.

Um, he learns from his mistakes and, um, Man, he is really good.

Yeah, I mean, I have to think so. You know, your faith has to be in your GM. And Mike Greer seems to be really building this team from the ground up. I think that this is a long-term goal. I mean, I think we, of course, want to see them make the playoffs next year. But when you look at, first of all, the Barracuda have moved on to the second round of the playoffs. So there's a lot of...

great players in that pipeline, but coming up from the OHL and from overseas. So I just, of course, like we all want immediate results. And I think what Mike Greer did at the trade deadline showed that they are committed to the long game. For sure, they could have kind of stacked the team and made them more viable sooner. But I don't think that's the idea.

You are asking the wrong person. I don't know. I mean, they looked so strong this year. I think if there was a year, it could have been this one. So honestly, I don't know.

But this is another one of those like I don't I don't want to be all woo woo, but they're cursed, you know, so they're cursed against this team. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I don't know what their plans are. They also have some young talent, but yeah, things are going to have to look a little different next year, I think.
