Like, I think that's such a new challenge and, uh, you know, uh,

You hope that they have the ability, the foresight, the strategic insight, the experience to put it all together.

But it's a big lift.

And, you know, I don't know.

Like, I would say that it falls a little bit short of where I would have hoped they would have landed if you'd asked me six weeks ago or the day that Ryan Johnson was hired.

Like, what do you hope Ryan Johnson's new front office looks like?

I would have said, you know, I hope they're bringing in

like a nerd or a lawyer negotiator or strategic sort of input type, you know, like a, like a print Pritam who would, who shook loose out of Toronto, right?

Something like that.

Something with a guy or a guy or a person with some weight and experience having been through similar situations and,

or a similar rebuild in a big market would have been, I think, a huge asset to bring in.

That said, I think Ryan Johnson really needed someone to help dot eyes, cross T's and handle some of the workload, especially at the American League level.

Like he needed to get a new Ryan Johnson into the organization so that he could at least get his old work off the plate, off his plate.

Yeah.

And I think Sealy is a really credible guy to do that.

And so that's still huge and necessary.

But, you know, I think it's necessary as opposed to like the grand slam type addition to this front office that we would have liked to see.

Maybe you can bring in a VP, right?

Maybe you can bring in a VP of hockey ops and,

down the line or even in the next couple of weeks, something like that, where you bring in someone with a little more time, a little more miles logged in an NHL front office environment.
