He's a threat every night. He's got jump, he's got energy. I think that's a great compliment for a young kid: knowing that each and every night (the team is) getting something from him. |
He's been out there skating like a dog for a month and a half now. He's progressively grabbing the stick a little tighter and pushing the puck a little bit more. |
He's been real good. He's dangerous every time he has the puck. When he does have it, his play selection is as good as anybody in the game. |
He's been stable and gives us a chance to win on a daily basis. That's something we've been lacking here for the last two or three years. |
He's been the Milan we saw for a number of years. He's recaptured that confidence in the scoring area and it's nice to see that production coming from him. |
He's been very confident. He really matured last year in Hershey. Game to game, he was outstanding and very consistent, patient. He's got great work habits. His developmental growth gives him a chance to make our team. |
He's been very good since Day One. Every day he just does some things . . . every shift he's noticeable. He wants the puck and he can make plays. He protects the puck and he's got good acceleration when he gets it. You like his size. All areas are impressive. |
He's fitting in great. He's been well-received by his teammates. I think the fans will like him. |
He's going to a tutor and learning the language. He's working on it on a daily basis, |
He's got a great track record of being an excellent coach. When you look at the whole package, he's a very passionate, strong-minded guy with a great opinion on the game. |
He's had a tremendous year, I'll tell you, |
He's moving well, and he's finding the puck. And outside of his net, he's working with his [defense] well. He's definitely healthy and you can see the way he's in control. |
He's not Peter Forsberg, that's for sure, |
He's one of those guys who has a quick stick, a hot stick. It was a special night for him. |
He's played well and he'll enhance their team game. With the big ice surface (and with) the way he moves the puck, he'll be a nice element on their defense. |
