“The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is pretty good, we’ve acquired a lot of pieces … and the best piece we got is today. I can’t express to you how happy we are as a hockey group to get Erik Brannstrom.”

“Me, as a hockey guy, I’m elated about it. I know when I brush my teeth tonight when I go to bed, and I look at myself in the mirror, I’ll say, ‘that was a long day, but we did something good for the Ottawa Senators today.’

“I’m as convinced about that as I’m convinced about anything else.”
