We knew he was a good player and that's why we signed him. You never know how (Europeans) are going to adapt. It looks like he hasn't missed a beat. |
We wanted to get him over to see what we have. I thought he played very well in the prospects tournament and in camp. We are going to try and get him (in the USHL) so he can start working on his language and get him used to North American hockey. |
We were pleasantly surprised. All scouts like good hockey players. It's rewarding to see good players and good games, because you see a lot of bad games and bad players. |
We'd like to get him up here. We just have to wait for the right time. |
We're very happy with him, ... He went over to Finland and was one of the leading scorers. It was a big year for him. That shows how he's maturing as a player. |

We've only got so much room under the salary cap. Some guys are off your list automatically. |
You go into Russia and the game is supposed to be Tuesday and you're there and they say the game was yesterday. |
