Answering for June 11 to 17

Forsberg/Federov +1

 

1. It was difficult, frustrating and then at the end - rewarding. The trades were shit. Anybody that pointed it out truly had amazing observations skills. But, I want a good foot in this trade and honestly, maybe already, have surpassed Toronto in the rebuild. The draft went good and I added 4 decent members.

 

2. Rebuild properly and just keep their eye on the ball. I'm a team guy and run my team as such. Everyones involved and Beketov and I actually spoke about the drafting plans slightly once we got closer to the draft. We're in this together and we'll rise together. There's pieces missing but they'll come in time. 

 

3. Tough. I'd say maybe McAllister, but also maybe you. You both have been good to me and both have been good players. TLO was also another hard one. All of your guys were around for the battles and talks and what not. Never easy ending things but atleast we got a cup.

 

4. I've had a long career. I've enjoyed it. I've finally... finally won a cup, won a GMoTY award... I've won a silver and gold medal as a GM and cups and GmoTY awards in the VHLM (2 cups, 3 GMoTY). I've enjoyed my career as a GM. I think the next thing would be to start chasing some individual GM records for the Bears. Hit 1,000 games.. 500 wins etc. 

 

5. We had a great time. The draft was exciting and was nice to see which teams took who.
