8x top scorer in Brock University class quiz. Expert negotiator. Humble husband and father working to end violence in playoff hockey. Expect the Introspected.

@McInerneyAndrew @BetMGM @FriedgeHNIC Actually, I said I couldn't put my family through going anywhere else. Then I realized, I can and I will.

I love to hear words come out of my mouth. Especially after I rehearse them in the mirror.

@DailyFaceoff @MikeMcKenna56 They say you can't put a price on your family. I can and I will.

Oh, and I did.

@spittinchiclets Don't genderize the fine please.

@LeafsRag I slid into Pittsburgh. How you arrive somewhere is just as nuanced as whether you were actually successful in your job. I was very successful.

Thought: There's no stanley cup playoffs for husband & father of the year. Let's keep it that way.

@Sid_Seixeiro I was not fired. I took a wellness leave during contract negotiations and Brendan extended my leave. I have never lost a contract negotiation, although I did once lose a staring contest with my pal Willy.

@HabsThings You'll never succeed in making your players happy if you treat them as counterparties in negotiations.

Let's not make friends, let's make family.

@CraigJButton I forcefully disagree. Jamie owes nothing to anybody other than his family. He plays for them.

@frank_seravalli @AFPAnalytics @DailyFaceoff If that's what it takes to make them happy, that's what they should get. Let the players decide for once.

Winning isn't everything. Family is everything. I'm a great husband and father but I won't go out of my way to tell you that.

Loving Pittsburgh.

@angeloricci_ Lesson: Don't take winning and losing too seriously. Focus on what matters, which is whether you had a positive impact on the people around you along the way.

Size doesn't matter.

Thinking back on the laughter and smiles on @AM34
and @Marner93's faces when they saw their contract offers. I wouldn't trade any amount of playoff success for those special moments.

@WTFMAN999 Please watch your language.

@kyledubas Thank you for all your support. Violence has no place in hockey, in front of the net, or in comments.

My mentor once told me that nobody ever kicked you out of bed because sex was going badly. It was my 3rd year at Brock and I hadn't had sex but the message was undiminished. I carried that lesson with me every day as GM of the @MapleLeafs .

Thanks Dad!
