SAY WHAT: 'WE HAVE A LOT TO PROVE'

SUTTER ON THE SCRIMMAGE:

WHAT HE WANTS TO SEE SUNDAY:

"I think things we've talked about in terms of identity, X and Os, things like that. Work ethic. I don't think any of those areas are problems with our team. There's a lot of new guys to the organization that are playing the next two games, that played different styles, different systems, obviously different teammates. So, that's all you're looking for."

LINDHOLM ON HUBERDEAU:

"You can tell he's a top player in the league, he has that extra poise with the puck and making plays. And he seems like a real nice guy, too. So we're excited to have him."

LUCIC ON THIS SEASON:

"We have a lot to prove, you know. Every season everyone starts at zero and it's great to talk about how great of a job we did in the summer but it means nothing unless you go out there and prove it and that's something that you got to do, night-in, night-out."

ON KEY TO SUCCESS FOR TEAM:

"I think I think you have to carry over the foundation of what your identity is. But even if you have the same group, you always got to build a foundation every season because every season is new, every season provides new challenges, injuries, ups and downs, you know, some guys (might have) career years or some guys going through slumps and all that type of stuff. So every year there's a new identity that the group has to create and but like I said, the main part is is you got to have a foundation and and build off of that."

DUBE ON BEING FITTEST FLAME:

"I think I just know now, getting older, what I need to work on and needing to get stronger. I think just for my size of a person, I'm not the biggest guy so my goal has always been trying to get more weight in the summer and come in more ready. I think the style that I play, I need need to have that - and I think I'm a little bigger than I am sometimes (he smiled). So I think I need to train and that continues throughout the year, you work out a lot. The games kind of going that way with a lot of workouts throughout it. So I really like to push myself and try and keep that going throughout it."

ON HIS VERSATILITY IN THE LINEUP:

"Whatever (position) I'm playing, whether it's centre, right or left, I think I'm trying to be my best in each position and work on each position throughout the year."
