I think I did all right but I want to improve. I don't think I'm happy with being average in that department and I want to make sure I compete with those guys. It was 50-50, I lost some battles.

It's going to be nice just to talk to him and talk about some hockey things. It's been busy, with the lottery and the draft, and I just want to get started and see what the level of play is like and get out there and push myself and get ready for the season.

It's nice to finally get one. It's nice to be able to contribute.

Obviously, this is a new level, but the pressure has always been there,

I'm not picky. When I'm hungry, I eat.

In this jersey I promise to play for the logo on the front, not the name on the back
