[laughs]

And you know what? His, his, probably his biggest strength is his love of his teammates.

Like, he loves his teammates, and that was probably, when you get traded, the biggest, um, you know, the biggest thing to get over is, for guys always talk about.

And he had just had the experience of the world championships and, and he was saying how he, he was gonna miss the guys in, in Utah and that was gonna be hard.

Mm-hmm

What do you make of these, like, these, like, quick, like... not only growth as far as physicality, but his, like, mental side of his hockey game? Like, what do you make of, of how quick it's all coming to him?

Uh, (laughs) you know what? He did...

It was a huge jump from that... from his first year in Chicago to his second.

COVID hit at the end of his first year, and so there was a lot longer, I think, gap there.

And so he had even more time before his second year started.

So, COVID hit in March.

They didn't start playing again until...

So, how do you feel about the way that, like, hockey has changed its structure in those, those very important vital years of their growth?
