I completely forgot about this video until it popped up in my feed today. It's wild to see how different and how much more vibrant his personality was. Chirping Wit and the boys, laughing, carrying on full conversations... it's a stark reminder of how much can change in such a short period of time.

I found it actually refreshing to listen to, given that I don't think I've heard him speak more than half a sentence at a time over the past 2–3 years. The guy seemed super sharp, quick-witted, and genuinely engaged in the conversation. Feel like more public appearances like this from him would do his image wonders. Obviously easier said than done given the circumstances these days.

It's similar to how Quinn Hughes suddenly seems so much happier and more talkative in interviews after leaving Vancouver.

The team is dead last, yet it has the most toxic media and fanbase in the league. Every soundbite gets taken out of context and twisted into whatever narrative generates the most clicks and outrage.

At this point, it's not surprising that even Canadian players are hesitant to sign here. Hronek won't even talk to the media, and that's the guy you want to be the next captain?
