From what I understand I was on the block and Wally was shopping defenseman as Wally understands that I want more minutes then what I would most likely be getting. So he took my interests to heart and put me on the block
Have the Chiefs told you if you'll be playing in the SHL next season?
As of right now I will be in the SHL and on a top pairing. As my first defensive player this is very exciting as I have never had a defenseman before. Ratzon's best season was actually his season in Minnesota so we will see if the luck continues with Caelum
Any hazing rituals that they've put you through, or do you think those will come later, or is Minnesota not that type of team?
Well Ratzon hasn't had much to do post career so he has had Caelums back since he has joined the Chiefs earlier today.
Anything you'd like to say to the team you're leaving?
Byeeeeee. Honestly though I don't have anything to say but positives about those guys. They were a lot of fun to be around and I hope to see bright things from them.
How did you feel about PGF's season?
I mean we made the playoffs and the conference finals. We also were the only team to take games from the kngihts in the playoffs. I think our lack of continual send downs has always hurt them as well as other orginzations and wll limit other teams from the same success the knights have until more teams send down players.[/b]

What are you first impressions of Minnesota?
On a huge upswing. I really enjoy where they are going. The activity is a lot higher than it was when I Was there just two season ago with Ratzon. The player quality is going to be strong and I am excited to be a part of their core
What are your goals for your player?
My goals for my players I think partially are to win another challenge cup. I also believe that I would like this player to actually win an award for the first time in my membership here although I think that's doubtful.
Did you realize that this is your second time being traded and second time being traded to Minnesota?
I think that its a funny coincidence and one that I am happy to be a part of. The first time was not a fond memory is the nicest way that I will put it. I did however realize it as in the OP I said that it was my second time being traded although I should have added that it was the second time to minnesotta.
How would you describe your one season as part of the Admirals organization?
Exciting but a bit hectic to be honest. The amount of players that Wally and Hazard are bringing in is a lot and are a lot to keep happy and communicate with. I do believe that it definitely something I will cherish and enjoy and was happy to be a part of.
Who will you miss most from Portland?
I will definitely miss Wally the most actually. Even though he is the one who traded me he was entirely forward with me my entire time there wether I was frustrated with something or wanted clarification or even the trade deal he was very forward about them and I really respect that and will miss that.
Why is your player named Noctis Caelum?[
After the main character of the new final fantasy 15 game. I had been excited about it for so long I decided why not

Playing time!! To be honest though I don't really have many. As my player is still on his entry level deal he may leave after this first season in Minny. Not to say that is my plan by any means but my expectations are to see how things and see if they are for me.
-Comments on playing together with Garbonzo?
I am extremely lucky. I have never played with a star before of his calibur. I did get to play with Theo Kane as well as Kyle Keenan in Edmonton all of which are/ were top level talents. But I Think Garbanzo is in a league with some of the greats like McZ, Esa to name two off the top of my head. To be on a pairing with him is almost dreamlike.
-When do you think Minesota will be good to go for the finals?
I mean when is a chicken ready to hatch? I think they may actually be ready sooner than Portland as they have garbonzo already who will be a star for a very long time. Nothing again Flacko but she is in regression and starting with much lower TPE than Garbanzo has. Also the finals are all about chemistry and it will be interesting to see the line chemestry in Portland. Also the East is weaker than the West so getting to the finals will be easier

What are you expecting in your first season on the Chiefs when you get called up?
To not suck. But to be brutally honest I expect to be carried by Garbanzo. I will be lucky when he scores after my pass and he will inflate my numbers. I expect to have good numbers but I also expect them to be inflated while playing with him.
What will you be working on to improve your game next season (other than endurance)?
Definitely defense and strength. I do not want to be causing neutral or even defensive zone turnovers by being pushed off the puck. Also from what I understand defense functions as awareness in the sim and even though he will not be the most skilled player he will hopefully make the least mistakes.
What do you think made you so successful on the Firebirds last season?
Luck and my build to be honest. With not having many capped players on our team I do not think it was solely based on the lines but I believe there was individual success here.
How do you feel about this trade, the Chiefs and it's lockerroom?
Exciting and new. The chiefs lockerroom reminds me a lot of my Toonza days where they were on the rebound and moving upwards and had a bright future. Although similar to Portland was very different. Having Garbanzo I believe could be the key to really winning and having good members like aasfasdgasgas (not even gonna try to spell it) as well as Baelor and Doughnut and samee and Sarmo I believe will lead us to success and an active and fun locker room.[/quote]
