"“[Luongo] is my guy, always been my guy… but how can you not go with Sateri here? Where would the season be without him? At one time, the 5th string goalie who moved his way up the ranks quickly. Even though his future in the organization is uncertain, he was great for us this year.” – Kirby Lupul"
"“Sateri didn’t play many games over the course of the year, but he was a big reason the Panthers had that win streak at a crucial point in the season. He was ready every game that the Panthers picked him, and he never disappointed.” – Luke Kendall"
"“Roberto Luongo is South Florida hockey, this team courses through his veins. Luongo dealt with the most adversity this season, and rose above it. Not only did he struggle in the opening months, but he also missed two months of the season to injury, and was deeply affected by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy as a resident of Parkland. Luongo had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him this season, and he still came out and produced like the Roberto Luongo that everyone knows, winning 20 of 28 down the stretch.” – Cal Friedman"
