"Make the playoffs. Pretty clear. Make the playoffs. It's not a tough, cloudy answer at all. We have lots of guys that haven't been in playoff races. We didn't understand, so every time that you get a player that's been in playoff races and has some playoff experience, it helps your organization."
DILLON DUBE ON THE TRADE:
"Great, I'm happy we didn't lose a guy in the trade. Our chemistry is really good and it makes our lineup a lot deeper. It only helps us and it's really exciting. The investment (from management) shows what we've put in and it's paying off."
MILAN LUCIC ON ACQUIRING JARNKROK:
"I think it's great. I think Jarnkrok is obviously a good two-way player. Just adds more depth to our lineup. Another right-handed shot, which is something we don't have a lot of. There's some familiarity there with being Lindy's first cousin. Just like Tyler (Toffoli) coming in knowing a lot of guys, he knows a lot of guys, so I'm sure he'll fit right in."
ON SHOW OF FAITH FROM MANAGEMENT:
"It's big. It gives us confidence. It gives us belief in ourselves, because we've got belief from up top and he's doing what he can do to make the team better here. Now it's up to us on the ice to keep doing what we've been doing here. ... It's an exciting time of year. Brad and his team are doing whatever they can to make us better for hopefully a long run in the playoffs."
