Murray, on the new contracts

Here were Terry Murray’s thoughts today about the contract extensions signed by Jonathan Quick and Davis Drewiske…

MURRAY: “All of these young players that are getting commitments from the organization are a big part of the foundation of this franchise as we move forward. Quick came in last year and played great hockey for us. He’s our No. 1 guy right now and a big part of the future. At 22, 23 years old, these guys are going to be around a long time as players.

“Same on the back end with Drewiske. Defensemen are very hard to find in this game. It takes a while to understand what the game is all about, and he seems to have grabbed the opportunity last year when he got the call, and he continues to improve on his game.”

    Love the contracts.

    The Drewiske contract was a steal. He’s going to be a solid D man for many years.

    Quick’s deal will hopefully turn out to be a bargain as well.

    I think whiskey’s contract is a total steal. He’s played less than one full year, but the guy’s steady play is simply amazing.

    Falling into the category of timing is everything, the Drewiske (aka Whiskey) contract could not have come at a better time – before he, hopefully, establishes himself as a solid defensemen in this league but with all the signs he will.

    Well done Dean.

    Weekend at Bernier’s?

    Amazing.

    Guaranteed that will be used on LAKings.com when Bernier records his first NHL shut out (granted it needs to be Friday – Sunday!)

    No Doughty About It.
