A punch like that goes around the league in a hurry. But we have talked at length to him in the past about being a physical factor without just squaring off against the other team's tough guy and getting into a situation where teams are reacting to what he's doing on the ice in terms of who he's hitting and how hard he's hitting, and that's the role we've seen so far.

You always want to have the ability, if you are protecting the lead or what have you, to go to a more conservative style. It's nice to have the flexibility within your system play where you can employ a couple of different looks.

He's very skilled. I expected that to a certain degree, but he's very capable of putting the puck in the net. He's a smart player. I'd be really disappointed if he didn't have 20-plus goals. I'd be very surprised.

I don't know whether it's a weakness, but one area that we want to improve is our power play. Our penalty killing has to improve, too. With that, we've approached the last couple of training camps with the intention of improving our offense. Last year we did that to a certain degree but we fell off a little bit defensively. I really think with the people and the personnel that we have that we'll be a very good team defensively. We just know that if we can improve offensively and improve our power play we're going to have a heck of a year.

The guys are starting to play well in front of him, and we're getting the consistent performance we were looking for from the position.
