And as you kind of alluded to earlier, maybe another year of them perhaps, I don't want to say overachieving, but certainly still staying in the hunt.
41:48
Yeah, I think they're bringing back a fair amount of players from last year's team.
41:53
And for the story about Drummobile, Steve kind of hinted on it.
41:55
They won the league in 2024.
41:56
They were expected to rebuild.
41:58
And then they were in this awkward situation where they were so good the following year, they couldn't justify selling.
42:03
So they went out, added some secondary pieces, none of which really panned out.

But Halifax, certainly much bigger aspirations coming into this season.
34:12
Yeah.
34:12
So it's now in the hands of Saint John.
34:14
So Saint John, the trade tree from that point goes Saint John, who had acquired it from Victoriaville earlier in the night, so Victoriaville, Saint John, Quebec, Chicoutimi, Baie-Comeau, Saint John.
34:25
So you're wondering, why on earth did this pick go back to Saint John? Well, it has to do with a trade from the prior year, and that was the Quebec Rempart.
34:36
And this might be a story we touch on a little bit later in the podcast, Steve.
34:40
The Quebec Rempart had actually made a deal to move up to acquire, uh, J- James Scannellberry, uh, who was a player that had ties to the USHL.
34:49
Uh, Quebec was kinda taking a gamble on him.
