Dave Taylor Players Quotations

Ultimately we have to play better and that responsibility falls with me and with the players. With John coming aboard the players will hear a different voice.

Pavol Demitra is an established premier forward in the National Hockey League. He is an elite skilled player who competes on a consistent basis. His vast experience should be a real benefit to the younger players in our lineup.

We're not letting the players off the hook here. We need our players to be better. Ultimately, we're all going to be held accountable.

With John coming aboard, the players will hear a different voice and the players will hear a different perspective.

The attraction for us is first of all Pavol is a very good person and he's been an excellent player, been a very consistent offensive performer in the National Hockey League. He's got a tremendous amount of experience. We feel that he'll also bring an element of leadership particularly for the younger players on our team.
