On how he's feeling:
For the most part, pretty decent. There are days that are good days, but for the most part, okay.
On whether or not this will be his last year as GM:
I haven't made the final decision on that. It's the final year of my general manager's contract. I do have something going forward if I do want to be an advisor. I'd like to wait a little into the season to really have a firm answer.
On what Daniel Alfredsson's role will be and what he brings:
He brings credibility right off the bat because of his reputation as a player, his commitment as a player and where he came from as a player that was drafted to the player he ended up being.
