On Carle "I think he had a good year. Matt's a good defenseman, we like to have him back and he wants to be here. We can't sign him now because of tagging space but I have spoken to him and his agent. There's no issue there."

On JVR: "James gets a huge incomplete (grade) because of all the injuries. A good young player but unfortunately was not a factor for us because of injuries."
On Richards/Carter "I hope they win the Cup some year, they are both good kids."
On Timonen "I spoke to him this morning. He is willing to play next season which is good news for me."
"(JVR) has a stomach issue that has been bugging him but I am not sure if we'll be looking at surgery."
Anyone else find it interesting that "Jagr was a great importance in the locker room, weight room, etc..." while "Carle is a great player who we'd love to have back, etc.."?

Reading too much into it.
So far, he's said a whole lot of nothing while making you think he's said something.
On Bryzgalov "he had a lot of things to adapt to...the scrutiny of the media and fans...a different style of play. There's an adjustment period coming from a different organization. Kimmo went through it, Danny went through it. His job is to stop pucks and help win games. Not comedy central. He's a funny guy to talk to, he has interesting concepts on life but I know when to walk away and when I talk to him I say I have to go now."

They didn't do their due diligence -- at least not enough of it -- on Bryz from a personality standpoint, or they just didn't give that component of his makeup enough weight. That's what my gut has told me for awhile now, and I grow more convinced of it as time goes on. Trading for and signing him was a panic move, mandated from the owner.
