Is there an area you'll be looking to upgrade as the season progresses?
"Well, we're a [team close to the NHL Salary Cap], so that dictates a little bit what we can do or we will do. But I think like a lot of teams, you watch, you observe. You know there are areas where you can get better, and you see how the year plays out. With respect to our record, we're not running away from anybody, but neither are we falling out of it. So, we keep working to improve, working to get better, and if there's a chance to improve personnel to help that happen then you look at it as you go. That, I think, part of the process that we'll go through. I think it's part of process that all teams go through."
Forward Mark Stone has started well with 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 19 games. How do you think he's been fitting in starting the season with Vegas after being acquired from the Ottawa Senators on Feb. 25 last season?
"Real good. I think for a player like that, it's a chance to get settled, buy a home, move his girlfriend down. Your part of it from Day 1. I think it is a real comfortable, real good fit for him now. He's really happy to be in Las Vegas and a huge part of our team. I think he has a lot of respect from everyone in the organization in terms of his play and the type of person he is."
