But where are things at with Claude Giroux, who obviously is testing the market?
Yeah, well, G, you know, I think we've stated how much we want him back.
we've been unwavering in our, i- in, in our message to him.
offered him a contract, as far back as before the trade deadline.
And, you know, he's, you know, come out, wanted to be- wanted to take a look around in free agency, but hasn't closed the door to come back to Ottawa.
I mean, for us, there's also a reason why I'm not active today.
obviously, that spot is, is reserved for him, and, I'm eagerly anticipating waiting to have a conversation with him.
I- if Giroux doesn't come back, how quickly would you try to kind of fill that void?
I guess depends on the opportunity that's presented.
I wouldn't wanna force anything.
would I like to be in a position now with knowing that G's back and continuing to work on the roster?
That, that would be great.

you know, I wish it were different.
you know, I think, y- you- we're watching opportunities that may or may not have come about if we, if we did have an answer.
but certainly, we, we'd like to have G back.
