Uh Well, we've got some wonderful uh fans here that are telling us we should have a good time. Uh Hmm. Okay. Well keep the what I'm just reading the text up. This text comes in saying, Bob, the two kids were so overripe regarding Broberg and Holloway, as Ken Holland liked to say, that they were lost to ridiculous offer sheets, absolutely ridiculous offer sheets compared to their games play Ken wanted to overwrite the players and he did it. That one comes to us from D S bar. That is a perspective. Another perspective might be that Edmonton needed to take care of business and ensure that they didn't necessarily lose put themselves in a position where they could have been offered sheet. That's a different scenario.

Bob Stauffer 3:25

I mean I don't and and again, understand when you're doing play by play and color of a game To a certain extent. When you're a team broadcaster, yes, you want to call a game, but you're also, you know, you're you're talking about the product and you're talking about the organization. You're indirectly selling tickets. On this show, we have a little bit more window to have an open debate and discussion on how to bring along players in an organization. In both the cases of Broberg and in Holloway, they spent time up and down. It wasn't a continuous route. And the reality is Ken Holland's first pick. was Philip Robert. His second first round pick was Dylan Holloway. Ken Holland took over a twenty fifth place team and the team finished with the second best record in the Western Conference during Ken's run.

Bob Stauffer 4:11

The others played with the second most playoff games played the last three years. Those are huge positives to Ken's regime. The orders do not have a impactful player from the Holland regime that is expected to be with the team at the start of the season.
