anytime best both equal luck player ryan teams trade value wish
Anytime you get a player of Christopher's value, you have to give up a player of equal value. We wish Ryan the best of luck in the future. In the end, I think this is a trade that can make both teams better.

I thought our guys played hard. We made some obvious mistakes. With all the hoopla before the game, maybe we weren't as sharp as we could have been.

I think the two goals we got early were very important. Overall, we played well for 60 minutes, and it was real gratifying to see such a solid game from everyone on the ice.

Christopher has good offensive instincts, very good speed and I think he will make us a more dangerous offensive team.

I'm really excited for his future. He's been a captain all throughout his playing career, and that says a lot about his character. He's a winner and a leader and he's learning the trade every day. I really can't say enough about him.
