It's a matter of perspective,opinion. … For me,it's not about myself,my age,my experience,and my background;it's more about a team. … As a team we feel we can accomplish all we need to and we have all the necessary experience to be successful." Head coach Dave Tippett,who reports to Chayka,said,"[He's] going to be a difference-maker. And when you have a difference-maker on your team,it makes everybody better."
