00:00I think it was his decision, I think, like, with talking with the organization, management, the Leonsis family, Dick Patrick,
00:10Chris, Brian McClellan,
00:11I think they just felt like to get ahead of this and, you know, let everybody know that this was
00:17going to be his last season.
00:18I felt like this was the, they thought that this was the best way to approach it.
00:24I know some people may say, and a lot of what Ovi said in the past of, like, you know,
00:29the handshakes and all the stuff that this is going to come with.
00:33I don't like the spotlight.
00:34I don't want it to be about me.
00:36But I think also when they talked it over and thought about it, like this being Ovi's last year in
00:44the National Hockey League,
00:45I think, too, there's a lot of pros to it for our team, for him, for the league.
00:50And so I think he sort of came around on that.
00:53And that's why they announced it.
