“Certainly we thought Kyle would be a little further along than the other two (Jacques and Winchester). He hasn't yet established himself, but I think he's going in the right direction.”
“He's got great speed, good offensive awareness and great vision. He's just got to get experience, become an elite player at the college level. He'll play in the World Juniors, I suspect, next year and hopefully, he'll become and elite player at that level, too.”
“We just saw a need to upgrade our defense, and this was an opportunity to do it. There's an old saying, you can never have enough defensemen. To be strong at that position is very important, and we think we're well equipped going into the stretch drive.”
“We both have to move full steam ahead here and prepare for arbitration if we can't get something done. We have to settle this or start preparing our briefs. They're due on Tuesday.”
“He's added to his grittiness and become a much more complete player and he's going to have to keep working on that. If he improves on his defensive responsibilities as well, then he's going to become a really good player. Really those are the only areas that are going to stop him from playing in the NHL.”
