ON SIGNING NEW DEAL :

ON HOW DAY PLAYED OUT:

"It's been a crazy day, for sure. It's flattering that teams have shown interest and obviously, in talking to Vancouver, too - I've been there a long time. My friends and family love the city and it's been a great time there. But I'm super happy with Calgary and where I'm at right now, and I can't wait to play hockey again."

ON GROWTH OF HIS GAME:

"It's just hard work. It's easy to say, but that's what it is. Whatever you put into it, that's what you're going to get out of it. I've still got way more to go - I'm not close to where I want to be. I want to become better, I want to be more competitive, I want to go deeper into the playoffs, so getting a taste of that even with no fans, it's something I want to feel with fans in the stands and the Saddledome bumping."

ON SWITCHING SIDES IN HEATED RIVALRY:

"It's such a good team. Playing against them was never fun. So, I'm happy I'm on that side (now). It's going to be weird for sure, at the start, especially to play against Vancouver, where I've been for a long time, but it's a new chapter for me and my family and we're super excited (for) our new home and the next chapter."
