Ask questions if you have them.
What kind of questions?
Questions that allow me to get my word count up so I can get paid more without having to make my response seem drawn out.
Any team you don't want to be drafted by?
The only two teams I don't really have any interest in are Buffalo and Seattle. I don't think I'd demand out but they're the only two teams near the bottom of my list for different reasons. I would've loved to play for Seattle when GoB was still GM but I just feel like they aren't a great fit for me right now.
A few months ago Portland would also be near the bottom of my list but I really like what Wally has done with them since taking over and they've definitely shot up my list.
I've always associated you and Webb with Calgary my whole SHL career, any chance you leave Alberta?
Vlady is probably a bit more associated with Calgary than us since he's the longest tenured Dragon of all-time and might be the longest tenured player of all-time with one team besides Leafs. I'd love to come back to Calgary but I've been a Dragon since S11 so it might not be a horrible thing to experience another LR but Calgary is still my top option.
Is there some angle to the SHL you haven't tried yet that you wish to fulfill with this turn in the pros?
I mean not really. I've won cups, been a GM, been a commissioner and done pretty much everything there is to do. I might eventually like to return to a management role in the SMJHL mainly because I've always enjoyed working with young players but besides that nothing really.
Would you rather be called up playing 4th line minutes on a Cup winner or stay down on an SMJHL team that loses its 1st round matchup in the playoffs but playing 1st line the whole time?
Production and ice time have never really mattered to me. I really like Halifax and promised Bottas when he drafted me that I'd come down for a season the matter what so I doubt I'll be playing in the SHL next season.
In a hypothetical situation, I'd probably rather be a 4th liner on a cup team though.
How does it feel to be drafted by the Calgary Dragons, were they a team you had your eye on leading up the draft?
It feels amazing. They were one of the teams on the top of my list and I can't wait to start my career in a Dragons uniform.
Do you know anyone on the current Dragons team? How do you think you will fit in?
I'm familiar with most of the roster
Is it true that Calgary owes Hamilton a favor after they passed on you at #6? What kind of favor do you think would be appropriate?
Teams do not deserve rewards for stupidity.
How would you describe your game? What kind of player are you looking to develop into?
I'm hoping to become an elite scorer at the SHL level and that's what I plan on working towards. My favourite thing to do is put the puck in the net so I plan on continuing to work on my offensive ability and scoring touch.
What are some areas of your game you plan to work on this coming season?
I want to produce more at the junior level over the next season. I felt my game was really coming around at the end of last season and I think Laing and I can continue to build on the chemistry we had last season and become a dominant pairing at the SMJHL level.
What can Dragons fans expect from Reiter in the future? How will his game compare to the Dragons Hall of Famer Kari Barkov?
I think our games are really similar but I don't think I'll ever be elite defensively like Barkov was. It's a lot harder in this era to be both an elite scorer and elite defensive player so my goal is to focus on one era of my game and truly be the best at it.
I do hope to have a physical edge to my game similar to Barkov did at his peak but that will likely come a few years down the road.
Is it true that you've already been contacted by several hockey equipment manufacturers about endorsement deals?
A lot of people have contacted me especially back home in Austria. I am hoping to become a dominant player for Austria and help guide their national team farther than they've ever gotten before. I had the option of switching countries since I hold dual citizenship but ultimately I wanted to help Austrian hockey take the next big step forward.
Was your jersey the top selling jersey last season in Halifax among female fans ages 18-24?
Of course it was.

Can we make this a post-draft presser now? :lol:
