You came back from the Avalanche development camp few days ago. Can you say what new did you learn there?

I learnt so much every day – on the ice, how to eat, sleep. It is very important for a hockey player. I have learnt so many new things. It was pretty hard camp, but we had also a fun. It is not always about a hockey on the ice.

What is your best memorable moment of whole camp?

Every day was special for me. Every day we had a practice and every minute I was there was a special for me. So I would say everything.

How it was to cooperate with former NHL players including Adam Foote? Did you meet Patrick Roy or Joe Sakic?

I talked with Adam. He is a great guy. It was special for me to talk with him and other guys. I met also Joe Sakic at the dinner last day. We talked about the camp.

You are really big goalie. Do you think is it big advantage or is it sometime harder for moving in the net?

Both of it. It is great to be big, but you need to be very strong and powerful in the net to move fast. It is hard sometimes, but mostly it is great to be big.

How do you remember on a draft day? Where you where and how did you find out?

I was at home with my family with and some friends. We watched TV and followed the draft. I saw my name come up. It was a special moment. I am happy for this chance to be the Avalanche guy.

What is your goal for the upcoming season?

Play as many as games I can at the pro level in Sweden and take next step in my career. Work hard every day and step forward – to be a better a goalie who will take step to the NHL in the future.

Will you want to start your North American career in the AHL in 2017/18 if you can't make it to the NHL directly?

It is hard question. You need to be great goalie here (in Sweden) and then you can go over to the AHL and take step by step. Not too fast.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

It is hard to say, but hopefully playing in the NHL for the Avalanche.

What do you consider your most successful moment of your career?

It was a big time to be drafted. It was a special moment in my career. As well as be at the development camp.

Did you have a favorite NHL team or player when you were a kid?

I looked much at Henrik Lundqvist. He is a big goalie in Sweden. You follow him and rangers. So him and Rangers little bit.
