1. What kind of feelings are you feeling right now? Very excited for the draft!

 

2. Any idea when you might be picked? I’d say early 3rd round!

 

3. In the ideal world, what team or teams would be the ones that pick you? A team looking for a future elite goaltender!

 

4. Any friendly rivalries going on with other draftees? Hans Gruber and I are excited to see who gets drafted first lol

 

5. Who would you say is going to be the biggest steal in the draft? Hans Gruber, I think he will go late in the second but I feel he will prove to be elite

 

6. If a draftee is looking to do some last minute draft stock tanking - what would be some good ways to do that? Not sure I understand what your asking here

7. Going to play in the juniors next year? I plan to yes!

8. What in your opinion is the main difference between hockey in VHL and VHLM? VHL is much more competitive and where we all want to be. VHLM is just a stepping stone and place to develop.

 

9. Have you told any lies in the team interviews so far? Never

 

10.  Would you rather get picked first overall and end up into a not so good team or get picked lets say 35th overall and end up into a good team? I’d rather go 35th and go to a better team!

Sorry for late response after the draft but let’s see what I can do!

 

1. In your opinion, which teams need you the most? I am happy to be picked by Seattle and believe this is a great fit for me and the organization.

 

2. Other than yourself, who's the most likely 'reach' in the draft (i.e. picked above their TPE)?

 

My awnser would have been Hans Gruber as he has a lot of talent and was a steal in this draft.

 

3. The VHLM Draft just happened a couple of days ago - how do you feel about your old team's chances?

 

They made some good picks and look to be building for the future. 

 

4. Who was the best locker room influence on you in your minor league season? Why?

 

Gm Josh was great and very supportive.

 

5. Are there any teams that you want to be on that haven't contacted you about the draft (don't name names)? If so, why do you think that is?

 

its after the draft but I am

very satisfied to be drafted by Seattle and believe I will have a good future with the organization.

 

6. Who's done the best job improving their draft stock other than by increasing TPE?

 

HHH

 

7. Do you have any draft-day taboos or rituals?

 

on draft day I like to stay chill and wait to be picked with my family and friends.

 

 

8. You're in a freestyle dance competition and you can have one other player up there dancing your routine alongside you. Who is it, and why?

 

Hans but I’m a better dancer lol

 

9. Let's say you can bring only one sentimental item with you to your new home after the draft. What is it?

 

great question! It would be my first shutout in the VHLM puck. 

 

10. What do you regret, if anything, about this past season?

 

Nothing I’m very pleased with how I played and my team played!
