A shocking event that happened in Pasta the Turtle's short career was being drafted 10th in the SHL draft. A third round pick with an unassuming defensive role on his team, Pasta never really expected to go very high in the draft. There was a smattering of interest in the scouting process, but Pasta fully expected to maybe go in the second round. As draft day approached, there was a shocking trade that moved Edmonton Blizzard up a few spots, and to Pasta's delight, they picked him. Interviews with Keygan and Tommy had assured Pasta early on that the Blizzard would be the perfect destination for him to develop as a player, but he certainly never expected the co-GM's to manufacture such a move in order to ensure that he would be moving to Edmonton. To add to his delight, Edmonton followed up that pick, by selecting Pasta's team mate Slavakov Vladimirashenko later that round. Truly an unexpected day, but one that is surely foretelling of many great things in Pasta's SHL career
