Yeah, I had surgery this morning. Um, repair, a laboral tear. He’ll be out five months. Looking at that, that’s obviously a long time is in there. We don’t we’re not having any we’re not allowing any short-term injuries this year. But how much is it going to be not just Ubis, but kind of a buy committee thing to fill that for five months, whether it’s Ubvis, Toby, kind of all the guys. Yeah, that Dimmitri is like some of the other players that we have out. They are he is unique in in his role. excellent penalty killer uh physical player in the 56 but he can skate and close gaps. So that’s the whole played I believe 74 games for us last year. So we’ll put in a veteran player who’s played here. So again it’s the same concept. You don’t replace these guys that we have out of the lineup. It and and but the weight doesn’t get heavier. You just have fewer guys to lift, right? So everybody shares it. We we have full expectation of Lufas playing the game that he’s capable of playing. He doesn’t get any room not to. Um, but that’s a positive for us.
