4) How does Johnny Kovacevic’s intelligence translate on the ice? (3:31)
5) How close is Kovacevic to the NHL? (4:34)
6) On prospects not having shot at making NHL roster right now (6:23)
7) Does he want his prospects facing high end talent in preseason games? (8:06)
8) Tempering excitement at accomplishments during preseason (9:24)
9) Games being more about the process (10:38)
10) How much is Berdin pushing Comrie? (11:44)
