Berry, who was heavily involved in recruiting under Hakstol, said that he plans to continue recruiting a mix of highly skilled players and under-the-radar, heart-and-soul players.
“We’re allowed to get a lot of high, high-end players here,” Berry said. “You’ll see that over the next year or two with some of the guys coming in. But we don’t want to forget the Connor Gaarders or Steph Pattyns. When the rubber meets the road, those are the players you need to immerse in your culture. You need a little bit of everything. We want to make sure we recruit that, too.”
