Yannick Hansen

No, because you won't get that next year anyway.

So you have a little bit of leeway here.

You have a little bit of leeway.

He's a couple of years off his contract.

Hopefully he will become an asset in some way.

Either his production comes back to where it's manageable, the cap rises, there aren't five years left of his deal.

They're not a playoff team next year either.

Um, so, so it's like, it's one of those things where, um, let's see if you can turn something into this and, and, and then recuperate something because he was a big asset or is a big asset, could be a big asset.

Um, again, he needs to find his game and then whether that's preparation and all those things that have been mentioned over the last couple of years, um, who knows?

Um, but, but there are still, there are still things about him that, that makes you wonder what if.

I just want somebody who, talent evaluation right now, somebody who can draft well.

Somebody who can not necessarily put a Stanley Cup contender together right now.

Somebody who is one, like you need somebody who is in that mindset of, okay, we need to find young players that we can develop into legitimate players.

We need to draft them.

It's not a matter of hitting on this, whether it's going to be a first, second, third or fourth.

overall draft pick, who can hit on the one we get for Quinn Hughes, the first and the second round.

Somebody who has a knack, a talent for that, that's the direction I would go to.

Somebody who can build a team, shape the pipelines to where it becomes a strength, so to speak, that you can pull out players from there and you're not looking to UFAs or trades in order to fill out your roster.

Well, they've said it now, and this is the first time it's ever happened.

Like, they've always been retooled.
