He's fun to watch," Quenneville said. "I can remember when I was working with Don Granato in Chicago, who had him with the USNTDP (United States National Team Development Program), he used to say they used to beat teams pretty bad and Auston, by the third period, he used to have to tell Auston, 'okay, Auston, just take a little bit off here,' and instead of winning by 12 goals, maybe we win by seven or eight. But he had a different level of ability. Domination might be part of it."
"I love the way he shoots the puck, I like how he finds a way to get himself open. The puck follows him around as well. Wants the puck all the time. You know, he's an elite, elite player. You're talking about McDavid and himself, maybe one, two in the game. Certainly, Auston is having an outstanding year."
