   Some personal highlights for me:
   > **The past two seasons you reached 73 points and before that you were in the low 30s. What clicked for you to establish yourself to be this type of player?**
   > « I think that came obviously from a lot of years of extremely hard work, but I think it started clicking when I started realizing that I can use so much more than I’ve done in the past. Instead of being this guy that plays this simple, steady game, I started to extend my game. I did that together with Jack [Hughes] and Nico [Hischier]. Lindy came in and he gave us a little more rope. He told us we can hold onto more pucks, create more, shoot more. That was one of my things after my first season with Lindy, he said, ‘You have a nice shot, I see it in practice, but I need you to use it.’ For me, playing with a guy like Nico and especially Jack, who I played more with my first season, with his hockey sense and all the passes he gave me, I had to capitalize on those chances. That’s when my shooting practices came in more to be a better shooter so I could capitalize on the times I get the chances. Then the confidence started kicking in and all of a sudden you’re on a roll because you’ve done all the hard work and preparation before that. Once the last piece of the puzzle starts to click in then you can be a bigger threat.”

   > **When the Devils acquired Timo Meier last season I was wondering if they were going to be able to keep both you and him considering the salary cap ramifications. In the end, they did, but were you wondering the same thing?**
   > « It was always in the back of my mind a little bit. It’s always there when you’re wondering what they are going to do, where are their heads at, what their process is going to be like? But my agent with ‘Fitzy’ [general manager Tom Fitzgerald] always had a good relationship. They talked through it, had honest, good discussions and I was confident we were going to make this work for the whole team. When I heard the conversations with Timo it sounded positive too that he wanted to be on board with this. Obviously, I am extremely excited having him on board too. »
