Doug Wilson Additional Quotations

I'd like to thank Alex and Brian Lawton for notifying us of Alex's decision prior to the arbitration hearing tomorrow in Toronto. This was not unexpected and I respect Alex for making this family decision. This creates the opportunity for additional ice time for players like Marco Sturm, Niko Dimitrakos and Milan Michalek. If and when Alex decides to return to the National Hockey League, we look forward to him playing for the San Jose Sharks.

We are extremely pleased to extend Kyle's contract for three additional seasons, ... Kyle is a big, strong, punishing defenseman who is trending up in his career and he will continue to be one of our anchors on the back end.
