Sure, I provided one sentence for a 6 minute segment. Context can be had by anyone who wants to listen to it.
Semi-verbatim of the key points, and anyone can judge for themselves:
"I would have liked young guys play with veteran guys"
"...with some teams you see a young guy with two stars to see how he does. With our team, we didn't even scrimmage to see [prospects] mixed in"
"Darryl wanted to start practicing as a team, we have a lot of turnover, [Darryl] want to work on things right from the beginning ... I understand why he wants to do it, but the management side, you always want to see the young guys get a chance with the big group"
"If we would put Ruzicka with Johnny and Tkachuk, or you always want to see him with NHL players so you can get a gauge."
Darryl was all business. He wanted to play a certain way, and certain guys and certain lines, so did we give prospects a ton of PP time or PK time? We didn't even see the young kids or even the AHL guys who were pushing. You would have like to see them in a few better positions"
"I understand, Darryl wanted to get ready for the regular season, and that was his main focus"
