They said it

"You hear all the rumors and you know there's nothing you can do about it, but the front office was great about keeping me informed. (Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald) is a phenomenal communicator and that really meant a lot. Now I know I'm going to be here, and I'm happy about that. I wanted to stay with the guys in this room." -- Devils forward Kyle Palmieri on getting past the NHL Trade Deadline
"We have a whole young crew with this team, and they all get along really well, so there is definitely a human side of this for them. I've had conversations with some of those guys this morning and I'll talk to more of them through the day. They understand the business, but there's emotion involved. Our job is to compartmentalize that and go out and play to the best of our ability." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill on the trade of Andreas Athanasiou
