[Girard and Sigalet] remain top prospects and have shown tremendous character in overcoming their physical setbacks, ... We look forward to seeing both players at training camp. |
A tryout never hurt anything. I talked to his agent and told him if Byron was interested in doing it, we'd be interested. I don't know what will come of it. We're just keeping options open. |
And to expect Joe to be that at 24 is not fair, but if we can hurry the process up, we'll try to do that. I talked to Joe this summer about some of these issues and to become a more well-rounded player and to become a real winner. What defines great players? They win. And the offensive stats are great, but it's all about the winning. |
Andrew has emerged as one of the brightest young goaltenders in the NHL. That was established when he won the Calder Trophy in 2004 and finished among the league leaders overall in goals-against average and save percentage. |

Both players are important to us, and we want them both in camp, |
Both these players are very important to us. They're terrific individuals and we'd like to get them in camp as soon as possible. |
Brad is a solid winger who brings good size to our forward lines. |
But they're not worried. The tests showed that everything was fine, and he's going to be fine. He still has numbness, but I expect he'll be working out, and he should be in our lineup Sunday. |
Charlie lives it. He lives and breathes it like I do. Like Harry does. Like our players do. It's a good thing. |
Excellent. We have some great depth and really this is one of the pluses of camp. I look at the candidates we have for a couple of spots and they are all top prospects. |
He is one of our steadiest and most reliable players. |
He is one of the best young defensemen in the game, is a leader in our dressing room and we expect that he will play a big part in our team's success this season, |

He needs to play. He's a good player. He needs to get used to the pro game, but he's got a good future. |
