"He has a phenomenal personality, great people skills and great emotional intelligence. His experience as a player in the NHL, but also in Europe and in the minors, shows a lot of resilience. He has this passion for hockey. If he's lucky enough to run his own program somewhere, I'm sure he will do very well for the same reasons I know he will do very well in the role I have for him. His leadership, interpersonal skills, hockey and management expertise make him a very good candidate for any organization, especially in the NHL."
