[upbeat music] Now, this has been, um, Leo Carlsson Week everywhere, uh, including on this program. So we're bringing back today, this is, like, we're, we're, we're bringing back and we're playing the hits, uh, from all the people that have really shared expertise and a, and a knowledge of either offer sheets or this situation specifically, and what we can pull out of it, what we can learn from it, what we can glean about it. And Steve Warrior is the former assistant general manager of the Florida Panthers who had to, was with us a couple of days ago and is back once again. Um, first of all, thanks so much for showing up here at, at, at the last minute. I'm sure you got a million things going on.

They've got some cap maneuvering that I think Hart probably went over pretty cleanly with you that they'll have to get through and it might cost them a little bit more at the end of the day to, to keep him and preserve what they need to do with, uh, you know, guys they have coming up like Senneca, um, and Gauthier notwithstanding the comment about, um, you know, intelligently preserving space in their press release. But, uh, yeah, no surprise in the decision itself.
