Evan Bouchard at the end of the year on what he learned most from Keith:

“Well, it’s a little different when you get someone like Duncs who has been through it all. He knows what he’s doing and the style of play he wants to play. The more you listen and the more you can take in, the better it’s going to make you and the pairing. The better the pairing does, it helps the team. The more you listen to him and pick his brain is going to help you out.”

Jay Woodcroft after game one of the series against the Flames:

“(Keith’s) presence comes through in big moments. Sometimes it’s something as simple as going by the bench during a TV timeout and just saying, ‘Hey, we got this. Take a deep breath and we’re good to go here.’ Sometimes it’s making the big play at the right moment.

“I can’t say enough about Duncs. His resume is Hall of Fame-worthy. He’ll be there one day, but in terms of his ability to pass on his experiences to our group, can’t say enough.”

Zach Hyman during the series against Calgary:

“Just unfazed. That’s a guy when you talk about somebody who has seen it all, done it all. He’s a future Hall of Famer that was brought in I think to calm the group in times that aren’t going well.”
