Being on an expansion team, I'll see a lot more time on the ice than I would on any other team. I don't think we will do that great at first but it does give me an opportunity to shine that I wouldn't have had if I was drafted by another team so I want to show that I can compete even if our roster is almost only rookies.

I'm more offensively oriented so I want to participate to our team's offense as much as possible. The first couple of games have shown me that I might need to focus more on defense for the time being, though. If I have to put numbers on my expectations, I'd say I would be happy with 20ish points and get a good amount of blocked shots.  I think that's how I can contribute to the team's success defensively because I'm not much of a hitter.
