"We're happy with him, his production, it's not overwhelming but it's still solid. I think if you look at it in the last second half, it's been better. It doesn't really actually, more importantly if you look at the numbers, his offensive chances that he's creating, not just for himself but other players, those have really, really gone through the roof in the second half this season. He probably should be producing actually at a little higher level, if he had a little more puck luck he'd have more points. It's not something that we're all that worried about. The numbers aren't something that we really look at. The chances created is a bigger thing for us because we know with Joe, once he puts on more strength, he's going to become faster, his skating's going to improve because he's a good, natural skater. He's going to be better in those 50-50 battles, his shot's going to improve, he's going to handle himself better in traffic, he's going to be better in front of the net, he's going to be able to get to loose pucks better. All that stuff that he's getting to now, just that added strength, he's going to come out on top of most of those things from now on. We're happy with Joe, we're happy with where he's at. It's going to be a big offseason for him. But his progress this year has been really on track with what we expected it to be and wanted it to be." - Shawn Horcoff, director of player development and assistant director of player personnel
