decision everybody good parties sure together
We've got a decision to make. I think it's good for all parties to get together and make sure that everybody understands where we're at.
dictates gets good knows lines offensive opportunity player puck skill stick top vision
Peter's got a good feel for the puck in the offensive part of the game. He's a give-and-go player and he knows what to do with the puck. He's got good vision and he gets his stick on the puck. He's got some good anticipation. I think his skill dictates top two lines and that's where he'll get a lot of opportunity in those areas, and we'll see what he does with it.

good kids shuttle
Otherwise, we'll play our young kids that we have in Peoria (of the AHL), and we're going to play some of them anyway. There's going to be a pretty good shuttle going back and forth, it's only 2 hours.
franchise good healthier march weight
When you're in this situation, that's what you do. This is to make this franchise healthier in the future. If this franchise has Doug Weight on March 10, that's not a good situation.
good guys help met pro prospect scouts thoroughly weeks
We're only going to do something if it's going to help us. I met with our pro scouts two weeks ago and we went through every team. If there's a prospect that we can think can help, we'll look at doing something. We've got a good idea on the guys we like . . . we went over it thoroughly and we're not going to take any fliers.
kid kids next
I'm not going to tell you every kid is going to play. We all know some of the young kids are going to take that next step, and it's up to them to use that.
chance decision educated eric far information opinion sit statement unfair until
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.
game third
We just wanted to let (Manitoba) know that the game wasn't over, ... We were going to be there to play in the third period.
certain continue tied work
We weren't going to get tied up in long-term contracts. We're working off certain figures, and we'll continue to work that way.
change felt helped ourselves prove quite
We felt that it was something that if we could change it, we would. We've helped ourselves there quite a bit, but now they have to prove it.
prove
We all have to prove who we are by how we play.
franchise healthy stick
What I would tell them is stick with us. This franchise is going to get healthy again.
