On Defensive Depth: "I think our depth at all positions has improved over the last few years. If you look at this year on the back end, we've got our regular guys who've been playing (well). But you look at the development of a guy like (Conor) Timmins, (or) Bo Byram, who has shown much better in this camp than he did in his first camp in the fall, after a really good season in junior again. And then you take guys like, say, (Kevin) Connauton, who had limited playing time with us this year, but when he did come up to play he played well. And guys like Barbs (Mark Barberio). You start adding that all up and we have eight, nine, 10 guys in there and some guys who have played for us in the past and been really good minor leaguers for us the last few years like (Anton) Lindholm. So there are more options there and depth than we've had in years past. And again, that's [general manager Joe Sakic] and his staff giving us the tools to succeed, and now it's up to us to get the job done."
