Sometimes offensive players get turned into defensive players, which sometimes isn't a bad thing, but for me I need a chance to play more offense.

New York is a place I wanted to come

I feel more comfortable confidence-wise. You get to the NHL, and you're nervous about trying things. With experience, you're not as afraid of being creative.

The biggest thing I have learned is you can't take anything for granted. You have to work as hard as you can every night, regardless.

I've spent every game I've ever played making sure I'm out-working the other guy.

I made the move (to #NYR) thinking about this opportunity, to play in the #StanleyCup Final.

Why would I want four or five more inches? I use my speed.
