RASMUS ANDERSSON ON JARNKROK TRADE:

ON CHEMISTRY IN THE ROOM:

"We all have a good group and we have a lot of fun. It's a fairly easy locker-room to get into."

ON COMPARISONS TO 2018-19:

"I think it's easier from the outside to compare, really. You know, it's different, right? Different coach, different coaching staff, different players, all that stuff, too. Quite honestly, it was four years ago and I remember we won the West, beat Colorado in the first game and then lost four in a row. We obviously want a better (outcome) now and I feel like we have a way better team today than we had in '18-19. As I said, I think it's easier to compare from the outside than the inside. I don't think anyone walks around in the room and things about '18-19 and how we won the West and all that. (There are) still 22 games left of the year and we obviously want to win our division and then we'll take it from there."

"I'm just going to try to be me"

DARRYL SUTTER ON TEAM DYNAMIC:

"I think our guys all get along good. When your team's doing well, it's a lot easier, quite honest. But unless you've been in there, then it's just a question you have to ask to understand the team concept part. The biggest part of chemistry is those top guys."

ON RIGHT-SHOOTING JARNKROK:

"Well, right shot is always good to have a balance, doesn't matter if you're up front or on the backend. But what's more important is multi-position player. And we'll see how it goes. He hasn't played centre for quite a while, other than the odd game. It's going to take some time. I don't think dwelling on the right shot part of it is that important. If anything, if you can play centre, it's another right-handed centre taking faceoffs. Lindy takes a lot of faceoffs on his backhand. If there's a way you can get that three, four shifts off, you can be a lot more effective for our team."

"It's always good to have a balance"

ON GETTING JARNKROK ACCLIMATED:

"They go over it, video with them. You come in on game day, you don't want to... You can't be overkill."

JARNKROK ON ELIAS LINDHOLM'S SEASON:

"It's been awesome. I think he keeps getting better and better every season. You look at him and he's a top player in this league, which is so much fun to watch."
