Bobby Ryan is an exciting player that we are happy to officially add to our young group of skilled forwards. He has a rare combination of size and skill and we look forward to his continued development.

David's a star player -- it would be like them losing Bobby Ryan.

I'm very happy for our seniors. This has been a very special group. All 10 of these young ladies, I love 'em dearly. They've been a pleasure to coach and this definitely will be a team I will always remember.

He's a good player. He's exciting. I think he would definitely add a dimension to the return game. Of course, you want to have high-caliber players on the team, and I'm not sure if the Bears are going to get a guy like that or if they are really chasing a guy like that.

We're going to be fine without Ryan McCarthy. You don't replace Ryan McCarthy player for player. You're very balanced out offensively and play team defense.

They wanted to open up room for Ryan, and that's good -- Ryan Zimmerman is a great player and great prospect, ... The trade will work out for me, too. I'll be in San Diego with a team that made the playoffs this year.
