On his style of play: "My style of play is probably power forward – scoring goals, playmaking, taking the puck to the net and protecting the puck – just trying to make things happen. Hopefully some day they’ll want me to come up and I can play on the big club and stay there for a while. I’ll just keep playing hard and we’ll see what happens."
On turning pro after next season: "That’s kind of what I wanted to do, but we’ll just have to wait and see how it goes and what Edmonton wants."
