This is a very disappointing development. I think Casey is the best all-around outdoor lacrosse player in the world. You can't replace that kind of talent.

You have to be careful what you do because the shoe may be on the other foot someday.

We need to rebuild and we'll do it around a local product who probably is the best college player in America (Walters) and last season's Rookie of the Year (Merrill).

They brought energy, they checked the other team's top line and they usually outscored the other line.

He could play the physical game, but he also had talent. I was lucky enough to have him as my left winger one year, and for a gritty guy, he had great hands.

He was always protecting teammates.
