All year long we ordsprog

en All year long we do 15 players, and they should do 15 in the playoffs. I don't understand the thinking at all behind it. We're the ones that have sort of dedicated ourselves in investing the money in three extra players and having them there, and we should be rewarded for that.

en Do I get value for money? What do you think? I personally don't get value for money from the players. Paying players £100,000-£150,000 is just insane. I earned all my money the old-fashioned way and you would have to send me back to school for me to understand why they get paid so much for doing so little.

en The goal was to make sure that in a Ryder Cup year the performance of the players is rewarded. The new system rewards the game's hottest players.

en [That's what makes this season so important in Tampa Bay. The Devil Rays need to start strong and hope for a boost in attendance from the league-low 13,070 average of last season. They need the extra revenue to chase after quality pitching next winter.] This year we divided our [free-agent] spending among a lot of low-cost players, ... Next year we hope to be able to take a little more money and maybe try to sign two or three players who could really help us immediately.

en I think the future is bright. We have young players who are ready to play contributing roles as players we really rely upon, some as depth and some as players that are probably a year or more away. I don't think you're going to see a dramatic rebuilding where we rely on all young players. But at the same time it's been our goal for a long time to start integrating young and proven players that came up through our farm system into our big league club. I think you'll see more of that next year.

en We were all a little concerned, but the players were really good about it. They found it a little cold, but once they got out there [it was OK]. They understand that the conditions are going to be a little bit different. But they recognize that they want to sell the game as much as possible, too, and this was a great show for them. We have to thank the players, and, of course, all the fans that made this an extra special event.

en In terms of the makeup of our overall team, we've got an awful lot of players who are thinking-type players. Eddie is in the category of a guy that's very passionate, is maybe a risking personality. You need those types of people along with the thinking, thoughtful players you have to make it all mesh.

en The thinking in the back of our heads was we had other players scoring goals last year. It was a matter of whether they matured over that year, and whether that maturity would compensate or develop the type of attack Nick and Kevin provided us last year. I think those players are doing that.

[Phoenix managing partner Wayne Gretzky is concerned that if the NHL and the players' association don't agree to a new collective bargaining agreement soon, the next season will be lost as well as this one.] If this is not decided in the next few days, I'm scared we could be looking at a year, a year and a half, two years, not just three months like a lot of people thought in September, ... From April to October, the players don't get paid, so I can't see us coming to an agreement in August or September. If we don't find a way to make everyone who is part of this sort of happy and get a deal done, we could be looking at a long, long time before hockey is played in the NHL and that's very alarming too. I hope in the next couple of weeks we can come to an agreement.

en I think the deal is not great for the players. It is definitely an owner-friendly deal.

Unfortunately, it had to take a whole year to get to a point where we could have been last year.

en Over time this will become a profitable organization whether we make the playoffs or not. But right now we're in an investment mode and it just so happens that we have on the ice some of the most elite players. Most teams don't have five or six elite players the way Ottawa does. For us to keep them and people waving around a lot of money, is tough.

Randolph said he would rather have a player who hits .280 and executes the fundamentals than a .320 hitter who can't do those sort of things.] It's a different approach nowadays, ... That's why it's nice to see players like David Wright come into the system. He has that approach.

en (The playoffs are) a road you have to follow if you want to be considered among the great ones, because it demonstrates that you're either making the players around you better or management is putting better players around you in order to showcase your talent longer into the playoffs.
