Squirrley Dan: Expansion Draft

Hello everyone! were back with Squirrley Dan of the Chicago Phoenix! So Dan, what was your reaction to being picked in the expansion?

 

Well just before the draft I was thinking to myself "there is a very good chance I wont be in Vancouver" Then the day of the draft I had a GM reach out to me and tell me that i was on their draft board. So thats when i knew i wouldn't get my chance to play for the wolves. When i was picked by the Phoenix I was actually pretty happy because it meant i got to stay in North America.

 

 

Obviously being on an expansion team the expectations aren't very high, what are your expectations this season? are you hoping to get the C?

 

 

my expectations for this season aren't high at all as long as we arent blown out every game im happy. As for the captaincy.. I dont see my self getting it especially not year one. Im still a rookie even on a new team I'm not the leader. Maybe in the future.

 

 

With you being on an expiring contract is there any talks of a extension? or do you plan on going somewhere else?

 

Well no talks yet but If I have the option to stay here which I'm almost certain I will, I'll be in Chicago for a while. I don't see myself moving unless its via a trade. 

 

Do you have any desire to go back to Canada?

 

That's always going to be in the back of my mind, but I like the guys we have and im a fan of the prospects in the teams system. We have a good future in Chicago so I'm happy to stay.

 

Word count: 573

claimed for july 20th - july 26

 

Since the expansion teams are not supposed to be winning teams do you have any personal goals this year?

 

I want to put up good numbers obviously but In the end as long as I'm not horrible its fine. With this team I will be getting lots of minutes that's something i wouldn't be able to do in Vancouver so i am happy about that.

 

Did you know what team would take you during the draft or was it a shock?

 

Actually I thought i knew what team would take me, when i saw my name beside the Phoenix logo i was really shocked. Honestly I was hoping for Chicago or the stars. There is something about the Stars Logo and color scheme i just love.

 

Any chance you sign in LA this offseason?

 

Oh i doubt it Chicago drafted me I'll stay. We've got a young group of guys, even though i dont see myself as a leader in the locker room i hope to lead these guys on the ice this season. 

 

With the season just one day away how are you feeling about it? Are you nervous to make your VHL debut?

 

Well yeah I am nervous but at the same time ive got a group of guys that aren't exactly "grizzled vets" themselves. I'm excited to get my first game under my belt and hopefully my first point.

 

Well I think you'll do just fine, and you have a bright future in the VHL 

 

Yeah i think so to. I've got to get back to work preparing for tomorrow thanks for havin me.

 

And that was Squirrley dan, with another interview, thanks for tuning in.
