“What a super talented winger Kamensky was! Because those Avalanche had so much talent, I think his talent was somewhat overshadowed, but he was a tremendously talented player. He was a great compliment to Peter Forsberg; they were just unbelievable together. Kamensky was just shy and not as boisterous and I think that made him really underrated when it comes to the great Avalanche players, but boy was he great. You just don’t appreciate what you really have until it’s gone, and he had really, exceptional talent. Quiet. Understated. Super talented and underrated – that was Valeri Kamensky.” – Marc Moser, radio play-by-play voice of the Colorado Avalanche
