"Roddy's a good man. He has a chance to have a great career as a coach, obviously had a great one as a player. He cares deeply about the Hurricanes, which is wonderful. Just be yourself; he knows that. We've had lots of conversations over the four years. He's more than well-prepared and he's got his team playing well." -- Calgary coach Bill Peters on Rod Brind'Amour, who served an assistant under him for four seasons in Carolina
"When I played, I always thought that coaching was overrated. How hard is it? But there's so much more. I learned it from Paul Maurice when he was here, and Kirk Muller and Dave Lewis, but Bill (Peters) took it to another level with attention to detail. That, to me, is really vital. And the amount of work you do to prepare, I don't know that anyone does any more than Bill does. I give him a lot of props because it's definitely helped moving forward here in the transition (to becoming a head coach)." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour on Bill Peters
