"Every team is in a different situation. They have their own goals and their own idea how they’re going to get there. Guy and his staff want to get to know their players, not just the ones that are on the team already but they want to work with our young players too. There’s a lot of work to be done. Having said that, we want to be a good team this year too and want to do everything we can to pick the best players to make this team the best we can put on the ice."

"I'm very, very excited about what is happening with this organization from new ownership, to a guy like Steve Yzerman, who knows where he is going. He's got a plan, he's an honest person and comes from an organization of winners over the past 20 years and he will bring that mentality.

"And for him to bring on somebody like Guy Boucher, somebody who I've heard great things about over the past couple of years, I think it's just going to be a great chemistry with those guys and with the players.
