We think he's a premier defenseman in this league, ... He had a stellar exhibition (season).

It's like a lifetime. You just think about it. The season is long. We're at game (65) and it seems like forever. Think about coming, and putting on your skates, and how many coaches have gotten on your nerves, and how many players you've seen. You've seen them all 100 times.

I respect the Premier League.

The Premier League is so difficult.

He's a spectacular player. I think he's absolutely going to be one of the premier defensive players in the league.

I don't think it's a surprise to anybody. They have some of the premier players in the league. They might be one of the smaller countries, but they're as good as anybody.
