I like his attitude. Yeah, it’s cold but whatever. There are good things about Calgary too. Travel is longer, but not harder. You just spend more time chilling on the plane.
It’s nice that he doesn’t sound like someone who needs to be pampered to be happy.

You're most welcome. From listening to him I get the sense that he's more of a shy guy. A bit of a loner. Has a quirky sense of humor similar to Monahan. He sounds very polite, and well spoken. I get the sense that he really appreciates the opportunity here.

Hehe, well you can add me to the list as well then, because I had a similar situation to Sharky after driving in the warm weather for a bit, and then getting to Calgary. Mine wasn't as bad though, I just damaged the rim of my back wheel.

As I mentioned above, I think he really wants to be a part of the solution. When asked about breaking the Belarussian scoring records in a different part of the interview, he didn't care about that. He mentioned his -29 though and that he needs to get better defensively. I think he's going to be a good forward on a good, young, and exciting team in a couple of years.
