"1,500 games - I mean, that's unbelievable," Hynes said. "I can tell you firsthand, just from having to work with David day to day, the experience he has and the success he's had, his energy level every day, his attention to detail, his willingness to communicate. He loves the game, loves everything about his job, loves the Predators and to have an opportunity to work with him side by side has been really, really impressive. With not only his accomplishments, but for how long he's been in the game, all that he's accomplished, I think his humility, his work ethic and his passion to do the job every day is remarkable."
