Well so much for breaking up Hughes-Hronek, the captain has spoken:

Hughes is a smart guy. It's true there is no need to galaxy brain it. For 1/3 of the game at 5v5 they tilt the ice and put a forward line in attack mode for most of their shift.
What changed to make us a division champ from a non playoff team?
Without going through the whole list that was one of the biggest. Put teams on their heals and got Hughes a Norris Trophy.
Like this quote too..

Didn't know that Desharnais was a former Chilliwack Chief.
Sounds like a real character guy also.
Adam Foote is a good guy to learn from for Vinny he's talked about being excited for that.
Been a really good PK guy off sets any ideas of pounding our D on dump and chase and will mix it up when needed which is nice for some push back. Him and Myers back to back is some serious size and reach
If our D staff can help him make less miss fires on his outlets that would be nice as that's a glaring weakness. His stats show he's tough to get high danger scoring chances and capitalize on them. Obviously protects the middle of the ice well in his zone.
Gonna be interesting how those bottom pairs come together. Looks like a weakness for sure but with one of the best top pairs in all of hockey they wont be leaned on to do too much

Petey being in a good head space is nice to see. People forget because of his point totals early last season (especially on the PP) that he never looked quite as dominant as he did the year before, outside of that NY east coast trip. Excited to see what he brings to the table this year.
Injuries so early are slightly annoying, but it seems like everyone has a pretty clear path to recovery outside of Demko. He seems to have matured as well re: knowing his body, so hopefully once this is behind him we don't see him burn himself out.
Overall really liking the team's temperament across the board, from management down. Those things don't win you games, but they sure can make you lose them if you come in with the wrong mindset.
