There are four or five teams selling and about 20 buying. The price for what's being offered is awful high right now. Whether teams get it or not, I don't know, but they're asking a lot. |
There's a risk for every player who goes over there. It's a very high level of play. I think Peter's risk is probably a little higher, but that's the chance you take when you play. |
They?ve got to be careful. I don?t think they intended to take the physical play out of the game, so they?ll have to sort that out. |

Until the doctors tell us he can play, I'm not even going to worry about it. |
Usually we would bring up a couple Phantoms for five or six days, but you can't because it costs money against the cap to practice these guys. |
We can't allow that to happen. |
We felt Gauthier is a really good fit. He's a physical player. He'll move up the middle and he'll hit people. That was an area we felt we had to get better, especially with the injuries on defense. |
We felt that [Savage] has been a really good scorer in the National Hockey League, has good speed and is a skilled hockey player, |

We felt that he has been a really good goal scorer in the National Hockey League, has good speed and is a skilled hockey player, ... Losing Kapanen for at least two months leaves us shallow at forward, so we thought that getting a player like Savage would really help our team. |

We felt that with all the injuries we have had that Matt would bring more versatility to our lineup. He can play center and wing. We always felt that Patrick was a better center. We have lots of centers, even though we have some injuries right now. We just felt that Matt was a better fit for our team, although we realize that we gave up a good young player. |
We think that this is the best player that we've had in years and years in this organization. At this time in August, we're a great team. We'll see where we are in November, but we're really, really excited to have Peter here with us, and we hope he puts the finishing touches on our team. |
