"Whether or not they just want to add that, I don't know if headaches the right word, but add a complicated situation to such a pivotal spot on your team and the goaltending position. I think he likes Boston. I think he likes being with his teammates. I think he enjoys the whole thing. So for his mind, it's like, why not just come back, play a certain amount of games if they start me in the playoffs? They start me if they don't they don't, and that's that. And walk away with 2 million 3 million. But it also, I mean remember the summer sounded like this was not a one season thing. He plans on signing for more than a year. Yes. So that's the other thing. It's like, they don't even know what the deal is with him now. But if he still wants to play, that's why I mean, it would have made the most sense. I mean, if you didn't know rask said what he said this summer, and you didn't know rask's position, you just looked at the situation from all other angles. You would say, well, rats just moved on. Either went back to Finland or he's playing in different parts of the league. He's with a new team. But he's sticking around. So I guess why not use it, of course, some fans are like, oh, there's no need. Get him out of here. We wanted him gone when he initially thought he left. So now is bring all that back into the fray, which is always fun for the dumb stuff iya. It only took us a few weeks to get right back to it. It feels like an old friend stumble and back to the bot, doesn't it? Oh, he's back. Oh, there he is. He's so wacky. Makes it feel like home again, you know? This is a bit more give us a few more weeks. Yeah. Anyways, speaking of underperformers, Taylor hall, Taylor hall has not had the start. He's wanted to this season. And it feels like it hit a new I don't want to say low sounds bad, but I guess a new low for him. On Tuesday night against the senators, when Jake rusk was moved up with Charlie Coyle and Craig Smith and played at the end of the game with them, Taylor hall was pretty much benched. In those last final 6 or 7 minutes Cassie says after the game, that's how it goes. He's got to learn how to play winning hockey to any turnovers. He obviously had that turnover on that first goal. How's the guy like Paul rebound from this? Yeah, I think hall from what we've seen for him so far has been refreshingly candid. I think when he went to us about his previous struggles and what have you and I think Cassidy mentioned ahead of the game up in Toronto that maybe isn't the loudest guy, but he's very self critical. He's always kind of hard on himself, and they kind of view that as a thing that he has to work on is to acknowledge that it was a bad game and move forward from it. So I'm sure it's tough, you know, you get pretty much bench over the last 9 minutes of that game. Rough game for him. Still got an assist on Derek forwards, fireside goal, which Derek forward leading the run for the art Ross is not what I expected..

"So Cassie's mentioned multiple times that he's the third line left winger. I think you need to keep him in that spot. That's where he's most comfortable. That's where he's generating the most production. So even if it's not a top 6 roll with creatine out. If he's able to give you 1520 goals in that third line, add some much needed secondary scoring. It's a good opportunity for him, and if he plays well, one raises his stock for a new contract next year. And you look at how important that role is, it's not a top 6 role like it was in years past, but you're still a very important piece of this team on the third line. You need as much as and howler intriguing candidates using the guy who they can bury the puck and add secondary scoring. And most like it's going to fall into rust kind of fill that role in that third line that as intriguing as it is, we really don't know that much about right now, how they're going to function. Yes, what makes you a little apprehensive with the brusque? Because obviously you mentioned kind of setting the bar low for a good season from this year. It's tough after last year because I really thought in 1920 that was his quote unquote down here. And I said, well, you know, he's on a bridge deal. He's gonna fight back so hard. Have a much better year in 20 21. And it didn't happen. And obviously the circumstances you mentioned with COVID and the having to basically isolate yourself all the time. Don't exactly help. And definitely will be something that will be lifted off from this year. But I just, it's apprehensive, you know, I remember had some about it in a sense. Can I really pencil him down for certainly a bounce back? I mean, again, you look at just this page 5 goals, 14 points, 41 games. I expect him to have a lot more than that. And again, a lot more as you said his 15 goals, 20 goals. And even just being noticeable. I mean, how many times last year, did you finish covering a game? And you think to yourself, oh yeah, Jake depressed. Did you first played? Like you almost didn't notice him using visible out there. So he's one that I'm a little apprehensive about. You know, after my big prediction last year, a little upright spot on this year. Another thing was Mercer and Jimmy, old friend of the show tweeted, what would NHL on Nick look like? And I thought I had a pretty accurate tweet about this. I said Jake de brusque has MVP written all over him. Jake rusk would be like the prototypical Nickelodeon most valuable player or whatever that is. We gave Mitch trubisky. Absolutely could see Jake breastfeeding like slimed or like loving it, you know?.
