The only other thing I'd add is it's maybe Stan Bowman was a terrible pick for general manager and probably shouldn't have been picked to run an NHL team ever again anyway because of, you know, ethical malfeasance.

But his work also really bad.

Also, on the merits, the guy who made the Seth Jones trade probably didn't deserve another shot.

The

With the Stars, though, just coming back to the Stars really quick, I also want to suggest they're just not as good as Colorado.

I feel like that's their big issue.

I know they beat them in seven last year.

You can say that about pretty much every team, though.

No, I know.

But I feel like with Dallas, you know, everyone points to them as this model retool.

And they've moved heaven and earth.

They've nailed a draft class to have the sort of elite talent that the teams that actually rebuild and select players at the top of the draft have.

And I just think, like, at the end of the day...

colorado has those players because they went through a lean years that dallas didn't and i just think that matters when they are going to meet up with one another um you know at some point assuming they even get by the minnesota wild uh in round one who are we on what team jamie pitch it uh we can go wherever you want but uh how about the minnesota wild yeah wild true serum

Oh, man.

Torts.

Torts.

Someone in the West.

I think I'm going to need Utah to win this Pacific Division bracket because Torts or Bowman.

Either way, I'm going to be unhappy, Ryan.
