«A lot of people in the area don't know what I do, so this is my chance to show them. This is my profession, it is how I make my living.»

«I thought he had a tremendous year [in Providence]. I thought he matured physically right in front of our eyes. He got better and better every game that he played. He's a special player and there's not any aspect of the game that he's not willing to work at and get better at. Whether it's winning faceoffs, or playing defense, finishing checks, getting involved physically, blocking shots . . . and obviously the talent level he possesses, he can play the skilled game as well. His game has evolved and I think he'll continue to do so. He's a young kid who is really coming into his own.»

«He is very much in the mix. He's really improved every year he has been here. His mobility is better. He's stronger and he has always had great offensive instincts. You combine that with the confidence level he has now, he has played extremely well. He will be a guy who is given serious consideration.»

«We've had a number of calls from companies in utter chaos. They're at risk of losing their business, especially small and mid-sized companies.»
