Do you think Bill Guerin is going to continue big-game hunting until the trade deadline, you know?
And if so, what names 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 hunting.
With, because he's already traded a good young center in Marco Rossi.
A former first-round pick, and I think a very good young player in Zeke Bogan.
Ogrin was a first-round pick, and he's had a couple of... Cups of coffee in the NHL and his 2026 first.
So, if he's going after other big game, uh, like a Nazem Kadri, whose name has been out there.
He's probably gonna have to give up, Daniel Euroff or another first-round pick.
And I don't know how much you want to empty the cupboard.
I mean, the one criticism I had about this deal is I would not have Sort of a guarantee from Quinn Hughes' agent that I could sign him to an 8-year extension.
If this is for two years, for this playoff and next playoff, You're in a division with Colorado and Dallas.
I don't know how you can... You know, you're a very good team.
There's no doubt.
They have a couple of good goaltenders.
They have Brock Faber on the blue line.
They have Kaprizov, but that's a tough road just to get to the Western Final.
And if you don't get more of a commitment out of Hughes, I was a little hesitant about that, about that trade.
