The ball is a little bit in his court. We want to keep him. He?s a consummate pro and a wonderful man.

He is the consummate pro.

He's a consummate pro, ... I think I see him more than my wife.

We got a little bit lucky. It's hard to keep all of your good, young defensemen. He's a tremendous young man who works hard every single game, every single practice. He never cheats in one drill, and that's how he plays.

We're here for a little bit of a tour for four or five days, just to get together and kind of talk about the season. The players everybody is talking about are all playing well, and decisions are very difficult. No matter what we do, there is going to be a controversy.

It looked like he cheated a little to his glove side, which left his stick side a little bit open. We talked about it a little bit on the bench. Usually we don't talk about it but this time we did.
