Use google or something to translate it.
Thanks. Google Translate isn't the best, so some of it doesn't make perfect sense, but I get the idea of what he's saying. Here are a few translated quotes:
After Hornqvist recovered from the worst of the shock he realized quite quickly that it is also a great opportunity to come to a team like Pittsburgh, a team that annually enter to win the Stanley Cup.
- The first thought when I heard it was Pittsburgh I become traded to was that it is a good team with a new GM, a new coach and the two best players in the world.
- It's obviously a hell of an opportunity to be a top team that also might have a better and stronger organization than Nashville.
Pittsburgh fans teaches certainly have Neal as some sort of yardstick when assessing your effort. How do you feel about that?
- It's clear that it's really difficult to assume his role. I'm not near him when it comes to producing goals and points offensively. While hockey is all about helping your team to win games and then you have your stake over the course assessed.
- I will never produce as Neal, but hopefully I can join in and help take the team further. Hockey is still a team game and it's 19 other guys who also is on the track. It will never be about any individual contest between me and another player.
Hornqvist coming from a season in which he played a personal scoring record with 22 goals and 31 assists in 76 games. When he was in the Penguins likely will play at either Crosby or Malkin's side, he has every chance to improve it further notes coming winter.
- Of course it is a huge opportunity for me. Any forward of that caliber, I did not play in Nashville, although there were good players there too.
- You can compare it with the situation we had with Roman Josi and Shea Weber in Nashville. I do not think Josi been as successful as of now if he had not been allowed to play with Weber. You can really see the lift he got the opportunity and I hope I can end up in a similar seat.
- Malkin and Crosby can do stuff that no one in Nashville can and I look forward to the chance to play with them. Meanwhile, it is also up to me to prove that I should have a place in one of the two top chains.
