"It's been a crazy few hours," said Commodore, who got the word from GM Jim Rutherford about the deal at a Boston hotel on Monday at 2 p.m.. "I'm very excited. I was excited to learn I was coming to a fantastic team. I just want to fit in the best I can and not rock the boat."

"To be on a team that's pushing to win the Cup is fantastic," said Stillman. "I think you'd be dumb not to come to a team like this and an organization that's improving."

"You welcome this: A couple of Canadian guys who have Stanley Cups. They've both been key factors in the Cup wins they've been on," said Ottawa centre Jason Spezza.
