Dave Taylor Great Quotations

We think Mathieu is at the point where we think he's ready for the No. 1 role, ... We've liked him in the Montreal organization and traded for him. He elected to play in Manchester (AHL) during the lockout and had a great year.

Adam played a tremendous role for us during the time he was here and represented the Kings at the highest levels both on and off the ice. This will be a great opportunity for our fans to show their appreciation for his true dedication and outstanding play during his time with our organization.

A great win for us. But we have to come around and play everybody again, and everybody will be looking for us.

We expect that he's ready to make a step to the NHL and have an impact, ... He led the AHL in goals (46) and was second in points (109) last year. He's got great skills and now he has to make that adjustment to the NHL level.

The Kings are very pleased to make a long-term commitment to Alex. He is a very gifted offensive player who, at just 23 years of age, has already made significant contributions to our organization. He has a lot of great years ahead of him and he loves playing in Los Angeles. Our fans will certainly be very happy to see him in a Kings uniform for not only next year but beyond as well.
