I was gonna live with Todd Gill, another young player, and the general manager grabbed me by the collar, put me against the wall and said, 'You're living with a family. Find one,'

When Gerard took over, he was trying to get us back on track, but he was also trying to ease our pain. Now, it's a fresh start for everyone and it's time for us to make a move. He knows that and he's not letting anything slide.
-
I would be surprised if there weren't some owners who didn't want to get a deal done right now and get back to playing hockey.
-
If you go slow-motion, it looks like you stuck your knee out, but if you play it at normal speed, my legs are stopped and I planted to put the shoulder into him. As he jumped out of the way, he missed my shoulder, but my leg hit him. I don't want to ever hurt a guy, especially (because) he's a good young player. It's just one of those things.
-
He was feeling things out at the beginning of training camp and as things went on, you really saw the ability for him to play the game at this level.
-
We did our best the last couple of weeks, we really put on a push. But the teams ahead of us were also playing playoff hockey.
-
I like what I've seen. He's a very quiet, respectful kid but when he plays, he plays hard.
-
He brings so much. He has that experience of winning and that will rub off on a team that's not that far away.
-
I've seen a lot of good and bad in the game over the years and it definitely is good to pass some of that guidance along,
-
There were times in the game where it was tough because there were a lot of penalties and 5-on-3s. It's something we have to get used to, but I think it will settle down a little bit. We have to get used to it.
-
We decided to speak publicly about suicide because we wanted to make a difference in other people's lives.
-
We haven't seen the best of that, I think he's still feeling his way around but I heard he doesn't make any friends out there, a little Bobby Clarke style, and that's what we need.
-
He said he's a great talent and the hardest 180 pounds you'll ever play against and he certainly is. He throws his weight around a bit and is really solid driving to the net with a lot of speed and talent,
-
It was great, he was a lawyer and had some repossession stuff in the basement, ping pong table, video games, all that stuff. They were a great family and really helped me.
-
We need to change the culture of this topic and make it OK to speak about mental health and suicide.
-
That was probably the highlight of my career. I learned more from him my first few years than probably I have from any individual through my career.
-
It's a family atmosphere and I think it's important for a young guy to have.
