‘“I think for me it was just, ‘We’re really excited to have you,’ ” Krebs said when describing his first conversation with General Manager Kevyn Adams. “ ‘Obviously, we want to have you as part of our future along with Tuchy.’ I think when a GM’s saying that, it’s pretty exciting. His message to me was just, ‘We’ve got a long ways to go. This trade isn’t going to dictate our right now but in the future, I think it’s going to be really exciting.’ Just his enthusiasm and, obviously it’s a tougher day but to get that call from him was really uplifting and it was really nice of him, for sure.”’
