I am very pleased to have reached a contract agreement with Nathan. We feel that he can contribute immediately to the team and will be an asset for the future success of the Panthers. He is an extremely talented player and one that I know that our fans are going to enjoy watching.
coming giving players trade
You can't trade for a 20-goal scorer without giving up a lot in return, so you try to find players like that when they're coming up.

At a time when rights fees are escalating and sports sponsorship as a first-tier marketing strategy requires greater accountability, it's imperative for marketers to have a tool that can truly help them harness the power of sponsorship to differentiate their brands, grow sales and engage consumers in meaningful ways.
key offensive player purest talents team
Kristian is one of the purest offensive talents in the NHL. Obviously, he is a key player for our team now and is a big part of our future.
brilliant everybody face facts knows near nowhere played points
He played a brilliant game. We were able to at least salvage two points for him. Let's face the facts: If he doesn't play like he does for 40 minutes, we're nowhere near that game. We know it. Everybody knows it.
brad good team
Brad said he'd take him on his team anytime. That was good enough for me.
certainly five hard heavier himself hurt last looks minutes played pounds skating suffered year
It's hard not to be impressed. He handles himself like a veteran. He played a lot of minutes (19:45 average) -- probably even more than he should have in his first year, but I don't think it hurt him. And he looks like he's five or 10 pounds heavier from working out, but his skating certainly hasn't suffered because of it. He did pretty well all of last year culminating at the World Championships where he was pretty dominant.
devastated happiness happy
It's very solemn. You don't want to look too happy. You don't want to show how happy you are because you know how devastated they are.
against ask certainly door explain few games heck home improve knocking lost lots people record seen tough wish
I've never seen anything like it. I've had lots of people ask me about it, and I wish to heck I could explain it. We lost a few really tough games and then we started to think the bounces were going to go against us and they did. You can look at it one of two ways. Was the aberration at home or on the road? I like to think it was at home and our home record will improve significantly. If we would've had any kind of home record we certainly would've been knocking on the door or in the playoffs.
believe coming deal deepest drafts excited good great hands kids maybe recent size speed stops
We are pretty excited about some of the young kids we have coming in like Horton and Stewart. Horton is big, he's fast, he's got good hands and he has a great deal of grit. You look at that you say maybe a kid like that could play. It won't be size and it won't be speed that stops those two kids from playing. We believe we had one of the better drafts in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory.
