They're in a situation ordsprog

 I need them all over the next four games. But the good thing is that not many of the new players are on long-term contracts. We need to bring some players in who are going to make us a better team. |
| [Nash lost one potential trade asset last month when center Arvydas Sabonis decided to retire. With a year and $6 million left on his contract, Sabonis could have been bait to teams seeking cap relief next summer.] We had some fairly attractive offers, ... But they were for players with long-term contracts that weren't worth it in the long run. |
| It is vital given our limited resources that our young players are given every chance and encouragement to reach and sustain first-team level. |
| 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. |
| A lot of the young people here see the [player] contracts in the paper. They say we need to reach out to players like Manny and David and let them know that we love them and want them to be part of our dreams. |
| You try to get all of your players signed to contracts instead of going through the arbitration process. It is not a particularly appealing process for us and it is not a particularly appealing process for the player. I don't think anybody likes going to arbitration, but it is there if two parties aren't getting to a deal. |
| It does give Kevin (Towers) a lot more flexibility. These aren't long-term deals, but they're good players. When you sign veteran players, (it means) you don't have someone in your system who's able to fill that void. Some of the catchers we think a lot of aren't quite ready. |
| This defense is being built for the long term, I'd say, as much as it is the short term. I know that we need to compete right now, and I'm not making any excuses for what might or might not happen. But there's a lot of talented young players. |
| He's a young guy. When you have the privilege of playing for the greatest hockey country, there are only so many players. It's not that he's not worth being there, it's just because he's in a situation that Team Canada has a new wave of young players. |
| There are a lot of pure players out there. You either want to find companies that can take advantage of the long-term trends, or look at a sector that is taking advantage of long-term growth rates. |
| We've never had this few players playing this many minutes for this long. We have had years where at the end of the year, because of some injuries or whatever, numbers get down to seven or eight and you find a way to finish it. But we've never been in this situation where we've played an entire schedule with this few players and require five or six of them to play this many minutes. |
| It would have been real easy for me to address the short-term issues and trade half the farm system. I could have. There was enough acclaim and enough interest out there that I could have filled other gaps out there by trading some of the young players. But I'm not short-sighted. I'm not impatient to the point that I'm going to do something that's going to tear apart the future, but I'm also not patient enough to sit back and get beat. This was probably as good a middle ground as I could find. |
