Ted Leonsis Quotes on Goals (3 Quotes)

We have been honest and open about this plan and will improve year after year until we get to our collective goal.

Leonsis also said the team plans to retain its veterans, adding that the contract of 35-year-old goaltender Olaf Kolzig won't be bought out. Kolzig is in the final season of a five-year contract that will pay him 4.94 million this season. (Clubs have a one-time opportunity this week to buy out players for two-thirds of their remaining contract and not have it count against their salary cap.) Out of the gate . . . we are keeping our veterans, ... My goal is to ice a competitive team this year.

I know we have work to do. My goal is to get back to 10,000 or 12,000 season ticket holders in two to three years and to run the team as a break-even proposition, have fun and build a team that can compete for the long haul.
