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.
Luke Richardson -
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.
Luke Richardson -
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.
Luke Richardson -
We decided to speak publicly about suicide because we wanted to make a difference in other people's lives.
Luke Richardson -
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.
Luke Richardson -
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,
Luke Richardson -
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.
Luke Richardson -
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.
