1. I'd like to temper my expectations as a rookie, especially as a rookie on a team that went to the finals last season. I think fellow rookie Zdeno Chara will likely have more success as he'll be forced into a large role with the departure of Tyler Walker.
2. As a GM, there were a lot of good players in this draft that I wished we could have selected. There were a lot of good choices in every round, but I'm very happy with Preobrazhensky in the first and our other discord actives in the other rounds.
3. I think Preo will be a top prospect and player for us, and I also have high hopes for Bernier, Charlie and Skambraks. All of them show a lot of potential, and as a GM, I'm excited to work with them to further their development.
4. Haven't picked one yet, but maybe we'll have to run three alternates next season to avoid the captain curse.
5. No comment! I really don't want to do it but.....it just happens. I can't control it
6. I'm excited for Thanksgiving, but less excited that I can't really celebrate with the people I normally celebrate with since we're not yet all comfortable having large indoor gatherings yet. We may have my cousins come down from Boston so that would be nice if they decide to make the trip!
