I thought it was a very fair and generous offer. |
I was amused by it actually. |
I was really surprised he didn't take an opportunity to secure his future and accept what I felt was a very fair offer, |
I was very disappointed about being dismissed here considering what had developed behind the scenes, ... I appreciate the opportunity to come back and hopefully be able to develop success with a different formula than I had in the past. |
I would dare to say this team is much better than it was the last time they played, |
I would speculate, of all the teams out there, we made the most changes. |
I would sure encourage them to [hold a reunion]. I'll be there without hesitation. 100 percent. |
It was a special time, and I regret the decision I made to leave the team. |
It's a day we've waited for a long time, all of us. It's nice to get started again. |
It's an end to an era for a unique individual, |
Like Nieuwendyk and Roberts, Marty brings with him proven leadership and skills as well as a history of playoff success. He knows what it takes to win and has the experience to help guide our younger players and accelerate the growth of our team. |
Our objective all along is to get [Jokinen] into camp. |
Quite frankly, we never entertained any specific offers for any of our players. We said, 'If we got to that point where we made the decision we would maybe trade, then we would talk to you.' But we never got to that point. |
ready to write a contract for Roberto if we could've gotten that done. That's more productive. |
The game will miss him for sure. |
