Tl;dr: Saku Koivu and Nick Suzuki are great people, while Max Pacioretty is apparently a selfish asshole.

This is a google translate so bear with me
>[On Max being named captain]…he was our best striker, but he didn’t fit the job. He was a very self-centered guy. He rarely smiled and did not mingle with others. Quite the opposite of a unifier. We could win 10-1 and he was sulking if he hadn’t scored. He was probably brought up in cotton wool.
had to snicker at that last bit

I need to buy this book lol! I’m tearing up at the excerpt about Koivu. What a wonderful player and person. We were so lucky to have him for so long.
Also these quotes about the younger guys hit a little different for me.
*Si j’avais à identifier les plus travaillants, j’opterais pour Suzuki, Caufield et Cayden Primeau.* Noting that Suzuki, Caufield, and Primeau are the hardest-working among the young guys. Nick and Cole aren’t a surprise, but that he thought to include Primeau, too, makes you think.
*Gerv, si je te rapporte un chandail du match des Étoiles, vas-tu le prendre ?* Suzuki asking Gervais if he would accept a jersey from him, brought back from the All Star game. My heart.
