"It reminds me of what I was like. I'm old enough to be his dad, but we're eerily similar. We're similar type of players. We're distributors of the puck. We're not the speed demons. When we are moving our feet, we're more effective, but we want to slow the game down with our moves, hesitation and passing ability and our head fakes more than just feet. There's a lot of similarities. It's kind of neat."
Doug Weight, who entered the NHL at age 19, talking
about 19-year-old Josh Bailey in Newsday.
