Frank Fedorjaka on Collett: "John will be starting on defense for the third year in a row, and he comes into the season in terrific condition. He works so hard in the offseason and brings a real level of toughness to the team. He is a technician on defense and has great attention to detail. He can cover any type of attackman and handles the ball well, and he's probably our best clearing defenseman." |
