Well I know I tend to make a lot of these PT's about me but I can't myself as I have found yet another opportunity to name a surprise in my career. Leading up to the S49 draft I was contacted by a handful of teams. When it comes to being a goalie the market for jobs can vary and in my draft year, there weren't many teams looking for an option. I had made it clear in a podcast that I was looking at Toronto for a landing spot because I have always been a fan of Toronto teams. I did not know at the time that they had already drafted Harry Carpet as he was still in the minors. However, Carpy happened to listen to my podcast and reached out to let me know that he was going to be joining the team, and we ended up striking up a friendship that would continue till now. I spoke with Toronto, but out of the other teams that were interested, I knew that the Los Angeles Panthers really wanted me on board, and I didn't want to tell teams what other teams were saying so I didn't mention who specifically was interested in me when I was talking to GM's. The draft happened and Toronto picked 14th, and ended up taking me. The very next day Wasty from LAP reached out and asked if they could trade for me, and Toronto asked if I would care if I went to LAP. I said, "of course not," and was traded immediately for a 2nd round pick, spending only one day as a member of the Stars. I have been in LA ever since and it was the best kind of surprise a player could hope for.
