He defies a lot of things. He is one competitive guy. His leadership has been tremendous. It's an amazing story. |
He's an extremely fast player and could be one of our faster guys if he came over. And he's got good skill. But he's never really matured physically. |
He's under our watch now and we can monitor him. There are certain things we can work on with him on the conditioning side. The fact he can practice at a high level will help him. |
I like the team we have put together so far. We've got a number of players with World Championship experience as well as several younger guys that are likely going to be part of our program for many years to come. |
It was important for us as an organization to get him out. That?s why we proceeded the way we did. |
Kiel is a big kid and we think there is some potential that has yet to be tapped into. He is a player that our scouting has been enamored with because of his size. |
Mike is one of the outstanding young coaches in our game today. He's an excellent teacher of the game and has worked successfully with players at all levels of hockey. |
Mike's had a couple good games and some games where you like to see him do more. |
There?s other reasons involved (as to why he signed this kind of deal). Now, he?s under our thumb and on our watch and I think he?s in a good spot. |
This is his third season with us and we feel that he has developed real nicely. We think that he is a big part of the future of our hockey team. |
