Okay, so why do we go over to, let's save the Stern stuff for afterwards.

Let's go to the, let's go to the Elias Pedersen stuff real quick, because this notion of bringing

in a talent like Elias Pedersen could very well come at the cost of Boston's first round pick

in 2025.

Not, not for certain, but I would imagine that that might be in play.

Now, I'm going to pull up the, uh, the Twitter poll that I, that I sent out.

But basically, we all know why Elias Pedersen might not be somebody that Bruins fans want to bring in.

He is, he has some red flags surrounding his character.

Everybody knows about the drama that took place in Vancouver the last few years with J.T. Miller,

the Canucks trade J.T. Miller to the Rangers.

Elias Pedersen continues to have a down year.

So people question, despite his skill, people question his, his work ethic, his character, his, his, his give a shit meter, quite frankly.

And he obviously signed a long-term contract extension for was 11.9 million?

11.6. So he signs that contract and and

there's a lot of people out there who say this kid's just cashed in he he he doesn't care he's

not somebody we want in the in the Boston boroughs organization we don't want them so I'm not

even here to dismiss or discredit

that side of the aisle. But what I am going to do right now is play devil's advocate and

explain what the risk would be of not bringing in a one-seat talent of Elias Pedersen.

Number one, he's 26 years old.

Okay, so he's young.

He's still young.
