The goal was to shore up our D and see if we could improve in net. On the back end, we're going to get some bodies back but the timing is uncertain. We felt we needed some character and strength on the back end.
More Quotes from Dave Nonis:
This decision is about the future. Our club once again needs to become one of the hardest working teams in the league.Dave Nonis
This isn't a one-or-the-other situation. We are going to make decisions that make our team better. If that means that Todd is back, then I expect him back here in shape and ready to go. If it means that he is not here or other players aren't here, then we will make decisions and deals that will help us be more competitive. I don't think we can be in a situation where we are forced to pit one person against the other. We're not going to do that.

That is another issue that I think we need to get off the table right now. Ownership has been very supportive of what we need to do . . .There is no selling to do, there is no people we have to clear things with. There's nothing. At the end of the day the responsibility of how well we do or poorly we do lies right here.

Alex will continue to get the bulk of the work. We are happy with his play and he's proven that he can compete at this level.

I think Marc Crawford is one of the best coaches in the NHL. It doesn't mean we're not going to evaluate all the elements of our organization, including the coaching staff.
