What do you see as being the so far unfulfilled
potential of Alexa? Well, I don't know about
, about unfulfilled potential. I think every young hockey
player takes time to grow. Like we watched a
kid like Chandler Stevenson have a heck of a contribution
to Vegas if we were to look at, at
his history and how old he is and how long
it took him to kind of find his group at
the national hockey League level and be able to play
the game that maybe he had done at the American
Hockey League level or in amateur hockey, it takes
time for players and it's harder to do that when
you come to an experienced team. Whereas Marty calls
it, there aren't as many chairs available uh to
assume that role. And, and once you get
stuck in that situation where you feel like you're fighting
for that, like any little mistake is gonna cost
you that chair. It's a different environment in terms
of, of how you have success. We,
we've had the luxury uh as we go through this
process that players can make mistakes. Uh maybe one
day we're gonna be different, right? We're gonna
be trying to win the Stanley Cup field. We're
really close and, and mistakes are going to be
more costly. We hope that uh in that moment
, we'll, we'll still have an eye to the
future, but it's just a different environment uh with
the, the state that we're in versus a Colorado
at this point in the future. What do you
see this? Uh, you know, I don't
want to put kind of a label. I think
he's, he's, he can, he's very versatile
. So he brings a lot of speed to the
lineup. He, he's not tall but he's heavy
. Um Can he play on the wing and bring
pace to, to uh complementary role in a top
six? Can he be a third line center?
Can he be a second line center? Like those
are all things that are to be determined? But
we believe he has the potential to do more?
