How close is the cluster there between Reed, Verhoff, Carls, Smiths, Rudolph for you?

How close is a collection from D-man number one to, say, D-man number six?

Are they all expected to go in the top 11 for you?

Yeah, okay.

A lot for Vancouver kind of hinges, obviously, on what happened before them.

I think we'd expect a forward to go to Toronto, to your point.

It could be Stenberg.

But San Jose becomes this linchpin for what Vancouver now does.

As you were kind of detailing there, it really does make sense for them to value D over wing in this spot.

As they're going through this process of interviewing all these candidates, and I imagine different candidates pitching different timelines of when they can get it back to a level necessary, when you look at the situation, what's a reasonable timeline just looking at the landscape ahead?

Let's say competitive.

Let's just say back in the playoffs.

And if you need to commiserate, yeah, this is your spot for tonight.

But certainly moving forward, yeah, like these streets are going to be packed come World Cup time.

And imagine this place is going to be packed too.
