Did you like it hate it or wher-were-wheredid you stand on the fitness testing question?

It depends what test.

I mean e-eh put me on treadmill I'm pretty good on there but if you, uh, if you had me bench press I think I'd come dead last so It really depended which test that I was doing.

Um, But I think Like I said its the same type of thing.

Um, You know yo never really seen a guy make, make a team strictly on a fitness test.,You know The game's played on the ice.Um, You know the fitness is really comes from making yourself a better hockey player and also staying healthy So uuhhh I think Its great .

I mean like I said guys they're just as prepared.Its not like anyone's comin in full milk bag because theres no fitness testing.

I mean you know its gonna shine through in your game.so Ummm I really like the adjustments that the PA has made

Where, where, where were you on fitness testing, Brown? Did, did you, did you like it, hate it, or where, where, where did you stand on the fitness testing question?

It depends what test.

I mean, if you put me on a treadmill, I'm pretty good on there, but if you, uh, if you had me bench press, I think I'd come dead last.

So it really depended which test that I was doing.

Um, but I think, like I said, it's the same type of thing.

Um, you know, y- you never really seen a guy make, make a team strictly on a fitness test, you know? The game's played on the ice.

Um, you know, the fitness is really comes from making yourself a better hockey player and also staying healthy.

Like, uh, what's going on in your head when that stuff's going on throughout the summer? Do you ever think about that? Do the players think about, "Okay, is there gonna be, you know, a coaching change, a philosophy change?" Like, well, what's the future here with me?

Tell me about that.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think we've been saying this for a while and we've started to see a real move in international versus U.S. markets last year, where we still think that PE valuation dispersion of about a third, about a third cheaper in developed markets outside the U.S. versus the U.S. still creates a great opportunity, especially with recent Fed cuts.

While we're on hold for now, still an outlook for possibly a weaker dollar for some time to come.

I think that really supports the case for investing outside the US.

Likewise, in smaller mid caps.

Last year, we did see a rally, especially in low quality, small cap stocks.

I mean, do you want to, you know, expand on any one of those to give some folks at home some marching orders?
