Do you think that Bill Guerin is gonna continue to go big game hunting to acquire up until the trade deadline, you know?
And if so, what names kind of stand out to you as pieces that could actually be impact players for this team?
Well, if he's going big game hunting, I'd like to know what he's gonna go big game hunting.
With, because he's already traded, you know, a good young center in Marco Rossi.
A former first-round pick, and I think a very good young player in Zeke Bogan.
O'Brien was a first-round pick, and he's had a couple cups of coffee in the NHL and is 2026.
First.
So if he's gonna go after other big game, like a Nazem Kadri, whose name has been out there, he's probably gonna have to give up you know, Daniel Yuroff or another first-round pick, and I don't know how much you wanna empty the cupboard.
I mean, the one criticism I had about this deal is, I would not have made it unless I got some sort of guarantee from Quinn Hughes' agent I could sign him to an 8-year extension.
If this is for 2 years, for this playoff and next playoff, you're in a division with Colorado and Dallas.
I don't know how you can make a.
You know, you're a very good team.
There's no doubt.
They have a couple good goaltenders.
They have Brock Faber on the blue line.
They have Kaprizov, but that's a tough road to hoe just to get to the Western Final.
And if you don't get more of a commitment out of Hughes, I, I was a little hesitant about that, about that trade.
