After having played with Ottawa as a DFA last season, I'd say it was a learning experience. You know, the who's who and what's what in Ottawa. I think I'm going to get drafted by a whole new team, so Ottawa brings me back with the third pick in the draft.

So I already felt integrated in the team. I found myself getting shuffled on the top two lines all season, and got over 50 points playing with some older skilled players. I found myself contributing to the team in a big way, but not too much on the scoresheet. Just playing well enough to get some big wins on our streaky team was adrenaline-pumping for sure, but I have so much more to improve on.

We will be getting some new players coming in as well in the coming season, so I have to be up to the task and improve almost everything.
