‘“We know their potential skill,” Granato said. “We know they’re (talented) and, like I said, they compete, they’re dedicated to improvement. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be here because they need to improve. They need to get better, they need to acclimate to size, strength, speed of NHL players. They’re behind right now and it’s going to take them a bit, but we know their talent base. And the things I mentioned, the characteristics, intelligence of them; they will acclimate. We just need to get them in there. You know, it’s almost like you can’t learn to swim without getting wet, right? So, they need to jump in the pool and swim. And we’re going to provide them that opportunity. We feel we have surrounded them with great support by the players that return.”’
