Kadri interview from the shooting event:

"When I look at a guy like (Head Coach Ryan) Huska, first and foremost, he cares about winning. He's a really competitive guy. In talking to him several times over the last few months, I have a really good idea of how he wants us to play and what he expects out of us. He's a guy that communicates well, too, and I think that's going to be great for our team.

"It's what we need."

"It's back to that excitement we talked about," Kadri said. "That's the new-school hockey. That's the new-school NHL. I think the offence is very modernized and you have to be able to use your creativity to have success. I can tell Husk is thinking outside the box already.

"I love the city. I love it," Kadri said, unequivocally. "It's got such great people, great fans. They're passionate and that's what you want as a player. In a Canadian market - and with the new arena coming - I don't think there's a better option.

"I'm completely committed to this organization, this franchise, and trying to improve us on the ice, so we can get to where we want to go.

"And honestly?

"I think this off-season has been a blessing in disguise to get our heads and our bodies right, so come back full force in the fall."
