"While there's a huge hole in our lineup, there's an even bigger one in our hearts," Waddell said, acknowledging questions remain about how the team will move forward. "Our immediate focus is on supporting the Gaudreau family and supporting each other as we continue to grieve the loss of Johnny and Matthew."
"As a team, we're going to get through this together," Jenner said. "We're going to grieve, cry, be vulnerable and support each other every step of the way, but we will persevere because I know that's what Johnny would've wanted."
"You will continue to inspire me to be just like you," Gudbranson said, reflecting on how Gaudreau's unique personality created a bond among teammates despite personal struggles in connection.
Werenski highlighted Gaudreau's decision to move from the Devils to the Blue Jackets, showing his commitment to family and roots despite opportunities for greater financial gain in his NHL career.
