"I feel like I'm a versatile player and can play on any line," said Read, who was used on both wings last year and was an efficient defensive player. " … I just have to worry about myself and to be the best I can be to make the team, and help my linemates and teammates to be the best we can be. Obviously, you want to play with [Claude] Giroux or Jakey (Voracek) and getting good offensive opportunities, but at the same time, if you're playing a shutdown role or penalty kill or power play, you take what you get and do the best you can with it."
