There used to be that unspoken thing and I I talked to a couple ex hockey players in the 80s and it was pretty much understood. You don’t you don’t destroy Wayne Gretzky. Absolutely. Yeah. And that’s and that’s rule but I mean and look what it look what it did for the league. Well, absolutely. Absolutely. Like one of the biggest things that ever sort of helped the league the league really and sort of with Bman’s vision was that trade to Los Angeles from Wayne Gretzky. Yeah. You know for like he wasn’t the same player but it didn’t matter. He was still Wayne Effing Gretzky. Yeah. Absolutely.
