He's a guy in the Elite League who's been able to produce numbers. We'll see what training camp is like for him. You're always looking for that little extra piece in a trade and take a chance on somebody. We'll see what he can do.

He's in terrible shape, but that's to be expected. This is like training camp for him.

But you know it's time to move forward. We will invite him to our training camp. He's an elite player and I expect him to have a great year and be part of Team Canada come February in Italy.

That's as far as I'm going because I think it's unfair to make any kind of statement until Eric has a chance to get another opinion and sit down with all the information and then he can make an educated decision on what he'd like to do.

We liked his size, obviously, and his competitiveness in the net. He's quick for his size.

Naturally, we're not going to comment on that anyway. Until he passes a physical, he's suspended.
