			Asked 960 for no hard questions in english.
 says he knew (?) that he'd be drafted by Calgary
 Loves the city (it is "awesome")
 has great Canadian friends.  Has great Canadian family
 Thinks being picked by Calgary is best that could have happened to him.  Same city
 New Language:  Teammates, everyone help me.  Have little bit problem with language.  Right now I feel a little bit better.  Canadian family always help me.
 Right now I was in Belarus and had english teacher
 Going to go to Calgary after draft to get ready for season
 I think I play super aggressive.  I play so hard.  Same time I play playmaker
 Right now I play powerplay
 His family: For me it is best family in world.  Last season my mom and my dad came to Calgary to see me.  Next season they come again.
 
 Extremely excited and you could tell the enthusiasm and appreciation of being drafted.
 Just from that interview the questions he could answer in English were spontaneous, confident, and well said.  The ones where he struggled for the words, he seemed to lack confidence.  I think off ice development will be very important for him next year.
