Summer Plans: "Last year was difficult. No one wants to go through a surgery, never mind a season-ending surgery, but I think I took the right steps and did what was necessary and worked extremely hard to come back and have a full 82 game season.
"Last year was a lot more 'knee-focused' with the surgery and rehab and getting myself back healthy. I have a good team back home in Toronto that works with me. Just getting back into that situation and having a healthy off-season for me is huge after what I went through last year."
Appreciating Kraken Fans: "They were amazing and they had been amazing to me, but I really do think that we have the best fans in all of hockey. They were absolutely incredible.
"To all the fans in Seattle, thank you. We really appreciate everything you've done for us."
"I mean, last year there were games we were not great in and we did not play well, and they stayed till the bitter end of it and supported us, on their feet, cheering.
"This year, we saw how electric the building was. It wasn't even close to anywhere in the league. Our fans are tremendous. They support us through thick and thin, and the atmosphere that they created for us only helped us and drove us in games. We needed it.
"So, to all the fans in Seattle, thank you. We really appreciate everything you've done for us. You guys are incredible and we can't thank you enough. We're excited to be back next year to have that same atmosphere."
