"I think we'll complement each other very well," said Auld, who is 6-4 and about 200 pounds.

"I think we're both good goalies, and if we're both playing well, that's going to be good for the team. I don't have a problem with the healthy competition between goalies. It's a unique dynamic. There has to be competition. You have to push each other, and, at the same time, you have to be teammates who get along and support each other.

"In my career, when I've been on the bench, I've probably been the other goalie's biggest fan and supporter, and you hope for the same when you're in net, too."

"I think it has to be a team-first mentality. You prepare, you do all you can to come into camp and be ready to play and earn your ice time. You push and try to force the coach's hand.

"I see both of us as No. 1 goalies ... . If we're both playing our best and making it hard for the coach, it's great for the team."

Szeretne már találni egy állandó helyet ahol letelepedhet tartósan és kisfia nyugodtan végezheti az iskolát. Ez igazán nyomós érv, hogy jól játszon. Szerintem mindent el fog követni, hogy maradhasson Gerber távozta után is minimum backupnak(ha el nem cseréljük szerződése amúgy is köti még egy évre).
