When asked about Rundblad, Ottawa GM Bryan Murray had this to say: "When we traded for him, we knew that he was a good player. We gave up a first-round pick wondering if we could get that good a player in the draft last year and we felt we couldn’t. He went back and he played extremely well. He’s a high-skill guy. I think the fact that he was able to play where he played was great. The other thing we knew is that he was going to play for Anders Forsberg, who had scouted for us prior to that. We knew he was going to get lots of ice time, lots of development and, obviously, he did a heck of a job."
