- was asked about the name change and his response was Dorion came up to him and asked if he would prefer to have his original spelling (nice one Dorion, Pierre must read social media). Said it did not matter to him either way but he prefers the "real" spelling.
- Says he is having a great time with Brady and Josh (Norris) and that Josh is not "actually fluent" in German but he understand everything and he is having a good time with that.
- talks about how Stepan has been a great leader in locker room and has offered him a ton of advice on how to adjust his game to the NHL, looking forward to learning from him.
- asked about who he is most looking forward to playing against in the North Division this year and mentioned Matthews first, McDavid and then "that german player Draisaitl".
- asked about how he plans to celebrate his 19th birthday after the game and whether he will be going out for drinks, his answer (with a chuckle): there is a game the next day so he probably won't have much time for drinking and that his birthday won't be that important this year because he is just excited about playing in his first NHL game.
Smart kid.
