And you see it with a lot of different players.

I mean, we see it with Alexi Protis, Tom Wilson.

I mean, anyone, there's like a threshold for minutes.

Once you get over –

that threshold where you're at your peak and you start going a minute, two minutes, three minutes above, you start having diminishing returns.

I think we saw that a little bit the last few years with Alex.

He's actually at his best when he's in that 14, 15-minute range.

And, you know...

He's 41 years old or will be 41 years old next year.

Maybe that comes down even more.

You know, it's a very delicate conversation that has to happen with the greatest goal scorer who's ever played, the captain since 2010.

The reason the franchise has flourished the way it has over the last two decades is all because of number eight.

So you have to be respectful.

And like I said, delicate is probably the best way I can put it.

But, I mean, if he's going to return –

It's a different group than he left.

I mean, he's coming back with two other right-shot 30-goal scorers there.

They actually have too many right wings right now.

Someone's got to play on the left side.

I know Alex is still listed as a right-shot left wing.
