Brodie
-Got timely goals last year in 3rd periods when down, those goals didn't come.
-Body doesn't feel 100%
-Team took a lot more penalties at times this year

Hiller
-roller coaster year
-thankful for chance he got here
-year didn't work out as he wanted, but happy with overall experience here
-not returning, kinda knew already
-realistically doesn't think he can play in NHL next year, checking all his options. Hoping expansion means more jobs open up
-didn't think goaltending was "terrible" all year but with so many quality chances early on they lost confidence.

Backstrom
- Clear on what he wants to do. Last couple weeks here gave him answers he needed.
- Realistically, thinks NHL is a stretch but thinks he can still play. Have to work hard and still wants to do that
- Really appreciates his time here, great six weeks. Not up to him, dream is always to play in NHL.
- Ortio "impressed" him. They have skated together in the summer. Ortio played at a consistent level, made the saves he had to make, not up-and-down.
-the couple good games showed him he can still play at the level he wants to play.
