Craig Patrick Great Quotations

He meant an awful lot to us, both on the ice and off. He had a great career, obviously, everywhere he was. But here, he solidified our team in the sense that he gave us a top two line person that made it a 1a and 1b situation, which no other team had at that time. He was very, very important to us winning our Stanley Cups.

It was real simple. I surrendered right away. It's great to have his name on a contract, and now, we can move forward.

He's started his medication already and it will solve his problem. He's in great shape and he's in great spirits. This has been something that has been lingering on and off and they finally figured out what it is.

He really hasn't had a great opportunity to play in Carolina. He's been behind some guys who are probably better than he is.

Definitely, in John's case. It's very special to get these kind of people ? not just great players, but great people in the locker room.
