I love the way the team looks, especially you had a guy like Sid.

That's a pretty good trade deadline acquisition.

A healthy fresh Sid.

Well, I think he wants people to know that he's trying to play another year and that he feels like he deserves it.

I think it's okay with Geno saying that's the best way.

And

What Kyle Dubas, he's trying to get the distractions off the team, right?

Be like, that's the last thing we need to talk about right now with how close the standings, how well they're playing, is having a distraction of, are we going to have Evgeny Malkin next year?

It's like, no, let's have that distraction once they're done this year, and then we can talk about it.

But getting that off the table...

I think is a pro move on so many levels.

Again, from making him go all year, prove himself, bet on himself.

And two, it's not a distraction to the team.

You see a couple teams out there, there's more distractions in the paper than there is on the actual play of the game.

So I think it's a good move.

But Geno coming out and saying he wants to play, I'm fine with that.

Again, I want to hear a guy that's played here for 20 years going, I want to be back.

This is my team.

This is a business, no matter what.

Like, he'll get a farewell if it's in his running shoes or on skates.
