"I think it just sends a message of how serious management is about this group and how much it believes in us. For them to go out and get a great player like [Duchene] obviously shows that they want to win. I'm not saying that we're going for it here. I think we've got an opportunity to get better and that's what they wanted to do." -- Blue Jackets forward Nick Foligno on the trade for Matt Duchene
"I think the organization has looked at our situation down the middle of the ice for now a couple of years. It's hard to have a strong center ice. It's hard to find a center-ice man when you think you need one. This is a very good player that, in our situation right now, as we're trying to fight to get in (the playoffs), it's really good timing, obviously. So I'm anxious to get to understand him." -- Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella on Matt Duchene
"You could see Brown on the power play has got really good vision. Obviously, 5-on-5, it's a much quicker step here than it is in the [American Hockey League], so he'll adapt to the speed and the quickness of how you're being challenged from the opposition. … But I think one more game and you'll see Brown is probably going to adapt on 5-on-5 and figure it out." -- Senators coach Guy Boucher on forward Logan Brown, who played 9:19 his first NHL game of the season after being called up from Belleville of the AHL
