What has happened in the past is truly ancient history. Now the objective is to come in here and have a solid training camp. ... We can't afford to get caught up in the hype. It's about having to do it again. You can't rely on what you did 18 months ago.

We are very pleased to have Andy under contract as we believe he has an incredibly bright future with our organization... He came into training camp and through his play earned himself a contract now, as opposed to us going through another full year of evaluating his play in junior hockey. At the same time, it was the consensus of the coaching staff that we would not be furthering his development by keeping him in Tampa as the sixth defenseman right now. We want him to go back to Prince George and have a big year for his team, make the Canadian National Jr. Team, and help lead his team into the playoffs. We are confident that Andy is going to have a very long career with the Lightning, and getting him signed today and returning him to his junior team are the next steps on what has been an incredibly positive path thus far.
