0:00.0	Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey P.D.O.cast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.
0:19.0	Welcome to the HockeyPedio cast. My name is Dmitri Filipovich. And joining me is my buddy, Mitch Brown. Mitch, what's going on in?
0:25.8	I am so glad to be back as usual. I think I open the last one in the same way. But, you know, I just can contain my excitement when I get to be on the PDO cast with Dimitri Filipovich.
0:35.5	And for the listeners, this isn't Mitch being sarcastic.
0:38.4	This is Mitch genuinely being over the mood ecstatic.
0:41.7	This is the happiest part.
0:42.7	Yeah. Yeah. We were talking before we went on there, you're grinding right now. You're
0:48.0	working hard on our on our EP ringside draft guide, which is going to be coming out in a couple
0:52.0	months. We'll talk more maybe towards the end about that process and we can kind of help plug the site and get

1:22.5	Nimitz as soon as next year? So I think both of them are NHL-Bound next season.
1:29.5	The relative effectiveness of them will probably be very dictated by their role.
1:36.2	So I think both Hughes and Nemitz are sort of these high minute medium efficiency guys.
1:42.3	They dump the pocket a lot.
1:43.7	They make some more decisions, but they're also a highly skilled dynamic. They dump the pocket a lot. They make some more decisions,
1:44.8	but they're also a highly skilled dynamic. They can create. And so in the NHL, if they're in kind of a
1:50.3	more specialized, lower minutes rolled, you're probably going to see some of those poor players
1:56.4	kind of just weed themselves out naturally because now they're not being asked to do literally
2:00.3	everything for their team every minute they're not being asked to do literally everything
