from Steve Serby of the New York Post,
Q: What would you tell Rangers fans about the kind of player they should expect to be watching?
A: I think I try my best to play the game the right way. I don’t try to cheat the game ever. I take my responsibility as a defenseman … first and foremost. There’s an added offensive ability that will come when it comes, I don’t really go out searching for it or any of that. My job is to play defense, I take a lot of pride in breaking the puck out of the zone and making a good first pass, and when I have the opportunity to jump in the play or contribute offensively I will, but that’s not the starting point of my game. My game starts with my legs and when I’m skating is when I’m at my best.Q: Kaapo Kakko?
A: He’s a really good player. He’s big, but he makes smart plays, I feel like. He has the ability to make very skilled plays, but he knows the time to do them. He doesn’t make unnecessary risk plays, which I think is really special for someone of his age and his skill level. He plays the game right. He’s hard along the boards.Q: If you could pick the brain of any player in NHL history?
A: Probably Nick Lidstrom hockey-wise, just growing up in Detroit. He could almost pick you apart tactically.
