George McPhee Quotations

We have done everything we could to avoid this step, but we felt we had no choice but to now seek a legal remedy.

We've had him rated No. 1 for a long time. We could have done a trade for volume, but none of those players would have been as good as this guy.

We're going to play the younger guys. That was our plan all along. We're going to find out if some of these young guys can play.

We told him to do what's best for his family, ... We just hope everything is okay.

We're pulling for him. We hope he comes along and is just fine.

It's been a long time and a long, hard struggle. I was expecting a decision today but I think it'll be the answer we're looking for.

Getting Jeff was a move we may have made anyway, ... It doesn't close the door on Semin or Sykora, but we're not going to just sit here and wait for them, either. We are going to cover our bases.

Overall, I think all the things that have been done to the game are good for the game,

Our forward group is in good shape and our goaltending is in good shape, but we have question marks on defense. We'll play some of our young players back there and see how they do. We have five or six young guys we are going to give opportunities to and we'll see who is able to grab those spots.

He's getting closer, but he's not there yet. It's probably going to be a little while yet.
