And the NHLPA also represents the player who did said action.

And then they kind of manage both sides where the NHLPA now has to approve of this because they're protecting the players and

And I'm speaking kind of in a broad sense on this very generally, but they're protecting the players from the likes of Mike Babcock because of his actions previously in the NHL, right?

It's obviously more nuanced than how I just put it, but that's kind of the gist.

You know what I mean?

yeah what are you doing that's just the thing that's been going through my head in all of this is how this is going it doesn't really bother me no not particularly and i think if the players are pushing for this like look let's let's be realistic here is stan bowman calling connor and saying hey connor i'm hiring mike babcock as the next coach whether you like it or not

I'm going to say, you know, I can't put 100% certainty on it, but as close to it as I possibly can, that Connor's aware, involved, and probably, you know, on the same side of this decision.

That's just my guess, just because where you're at in the contract situation and everything.

I'm not going to disagree, but the PA is interesting.
