I’ve known Auston since I was 14, 15? He’s a really funny guy, great guy to be around, and was pretty awesome for me to learn from him as a captain himself; plus he’s one of the best players in the NHL.
I was just super impressed with how dialled in he was and how professional and how even keeled he was, you know it felt like nothing ever bothered him and he’ll go out there and lead by example with his work ethic.
I think a lot of the things he does go under the radar. He’s such an important piece for the team, and I was very lucky to be able to learn from him as well.
