The thing we like best about Jax is the more important the game or the situation, the better he plays. That's a good quality to have for a hockey player.

We are an improved team when you add those three pieces into our lineup. All three should fit very well. It certainly gives us much more depth up front. They're older and more experienced guys that are significant pieces to put in right now.

We've played three road games, but we just haven't played nearly as well as we need to. We've taken some steps to improve, but we're far from happy.

Even with our losing streak, we're right in the thick of things, right in the middle of a tight division. We just have to keep plowing away and give ourselves a chance by doing all the little things right. When you do that, things tend to change.

When you have a three-goal lead it should hold up in any building. We've got no excuses.

Although he's a very humble kid who goes about his own business, all of the recognition that he's an elite player can only help his confidence.

We still have some decisions to make. So far it's been a very good camp for us.

We've had to deal with some significant hurdles. I don't think there's a team out there that has been through as much as we have.

We haven't had much chemistry in our forward groups this year. Certainly at this point nothing is written in stone. Once we get rolling, if we think something else might fit, we won't be scared to make any changes.
