Is the following a quote from GM Jim Nill after speaking to Artemi Panarin?
“When you talk about winning and losing, I know you want to go to a team to win a Cup, but we’re as committed as anybody. Who knows, maybe we’re closer than anybody thinks.”
Nope. That’s Nashville Predators’ GM David Poile speaking in 2014 about Jason Spezza.
Of course, later that fall, Spezza signed a four-year, $30 million dollar contract with the Dallas Stars. As that contract nears its end, Spezza appears content with his decision.
