“In a way, it's a better situation and it gives me a better shot to stand out, ... I'm not going to camp [competing for a roster spot] against a Peter Forsberg or a Joe Sakic]. It's all young guys who are really skilled and are trying to make a name for themselves.”
“I don't want to go to Hershey, ... I'm having a lot of fun here. I'm just trying to get noticed by playing hard. Hopefully that will catch their eye and show them that this is where I want to be.”
“I don't think we're going to be as bad as people think we're going to be. We've got some real good young talent, and if we click together, we'll have a solid team.”
“I don't like losing, ... Being a competitive player, it's not a good feeling. I was trying to do everything I could do, get a big hit or make a good play and get something going. That's the style I always play.”
