Opponents Like Seattle, Too: "I've talked to guys on other teams. They say we're one of the toughest teams to play against, the way we skate and forecheck. When we're on top of our game, it's pretty tough to play against us. You saw it in the playoffs. We can put together some pretty impressive games.
"I think some guys probably look at teams that are contenders and that have a chance, and we definitely are that now. And it's just a great city. We have the best arena in the league, the best fans. It's a pretty attractive place to come play, and especially when you're winning, it's tough to beat.
"Everyone in the organization has been great. It's a great place to play. Fans are amazing, city is amazing. I think we all just love playing here and playing for each other.
"When we're on top of our game, it's pretty tough to play against us. You saw it in the playoffs."
"I don't think we're going to be sneaking up on many teams next year. I hope we gained a little more respect, but it's going to be a little more challenging."
Vince Dunn's Evolution: "I think he played his first NHL game when I was in Pittsburgh and he was in St. Louis. I knew it was his first game, and the confidence he had then was pretty impressive.
"This year, his two-way game was unbelievable. Him and Lars (Adam Larsson) played unreal together. This team wouldn't be where we are without his performance this year."
