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.

The main concerns we have as an organization is that he’s healthy and he can get the eyesight back to where he’s comfortable and he can live a normal life.

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...

Like that of all players, Al’s career has unfortunately and finally come to an end, … However, it gives us great satisfaction to know that his unparalleled expertise and experience will continue to benefit the...

I was kind of hoping this day wouldn’t happen ever,

He’s still a young guy. He’ll play in a lot of different situations for us. He can play right or left wing. He’s a very useful player, a guy who can contribute over the next...

We’re trying to gather the information. At that time, we’ll know what his options are and we’ll make a decision.

We wanted him back. We need him back. He can be a heck of a player in this league.

We’ve met twice and kind of got some ideas on players, staff and training camp. We’re just going through a process to give us some thoughts and some ideas from each other and see where...

We’re comfortable with Johnson. He’s a young kid who has shown us a lot, but hasn’t been consistent. But again, he’s a young goaltender and age-wise most goalies don’t get it going until they are...

We’re in the process of getting this franchise healthy. Better days are going to lie ahead, but it’s not easy to get there. We’re taking some tough, tough steps.

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...

We’re pleased to say that Bryce’s career as a member of the St. Louis Blues will continue for several more years,

Dean is a player who immediately adds speed and quickness to our roster, and that was a top priority for us. We also believe that he can contribute goal-scoring ability and instill veteran experience to...

The doctor has told him there is a healing process that is going to take place over the next four to 16, 17, 18 weeks. Nobody knows how long it’ll be. … What happens over...

It’s the best developmental league in the world, … We have the best of both worlds now, by being able to operate in the AHL, and do it nearby in Peoria.

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...

Vladimir is the type of player who can excel in many different situations, including at both wing positions. We are excited to add him to our organization, and I anticipate that he will make a...

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...

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.

Ron is a coach who has had success at all levels during his coaching career and his record speaks for itself. We have always been impressed with his professionalism and the astute level of preparation...

For a freshman in college to jump in and grab that type of playing time is really good. He started out real well up there, then he slowed down a little bit in the middle...

We all have to prove who we are by how we play.

Let’s face it, who’s a better defenseman in this game? … He logged a lot of ice time, played hurt. I don’t think we could have asked any more, and he’s still got a lot...

I think everybody in this business was probably looking at next year the cap possibly coming down or staying the same. Now all of our thought processes looking forward is definitely going to be different.

This is what the hockey world is right now, and you know something, this is what the system is supposed to do.

Some of the guys and our alumni were talking about how great he played in that game. It was a great experience for him.

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.

Our goaltending, no doubt about it, hasn’t been at the level we’d like it to be.

He brings a high-energy, physical style of play to our team. Aaron finishes his checks and immediately will inject enthusiasm into our lineup.

Mike inherited a somewhat difficult situation with 21 games remaining in the 2003-04 season, but he did an outstanding job of steering us into the playoffs, … We very much look forward to having Mike...

I don’t discuss any of that. I never have, so why would I now? You can reason anything you want.

It’s a decision that we have to make and we’ll deal with it at the proper time.

We liked his size, obviously, and his competitiveness in the net. He’s quick for his size.
