Some good insights here, particularly around 15 minutes.
AA tries not to take Regner's bait, but he slips a few times.
"I don't think I've really had the chance to be the the type of player I know I can really be." -- 38 minutes or so
On icetime: Coach is just trying to win games.
Doesn't sound like he really believes Detroit is the place where that happens. - 39:50
Playing with Larkin is a lot of fun. When you play with Larkin, you play a lot, too. So I like that for sure. - 40:30
We're losing valuable time, not developing chemistry between players.
Around 42, AA laughs about the criticism he and Mantha get.
Talking about goals/numbers; I haven't got the chance to see what I can really do as a player. I still feel like the sky is the limit for me. It'll unfold sooner or later and everyone will see what type of player I'll be. 47:00
48 minutes: Asked about not buying into the process reputation.
He doesn't sound like he wants to be a red wing at all. If you listen to other young players talk about their team, especially wings, they say "this organization" "the red wings" AA just says whatever team, whatever players I am with, etc etc, general statements.
I get it though, why does he want to be on a team that he is not wanted on (from management).
