So are you satisfied?
Yes, because Toronto has great ambitions, the city itself is also amazing, so it turned out well for me.
David SpálenkaRittich’s manager “David and I talked about the trade for a significant part of the season, given his busy schedule in Calgary. He was instructed that the exchange would take place at the last minute, given that it would be a team on the verge of a salary cap and that David’s pay was not entirely low for such a transaction. Therefore, it was not the easiest to find a solution. We were in contact with other teams for a long time, in the end Toronto ended up at the last minute. He goes to the team that wants to play for the Stanley Cup and has a chance to make a decent result this year. It remains to be seen what his position will be: Campbell has an incredible face, Andersen is injured, so David is such a safeguard for Toronto and we will see what comes of it. “ – |
There was a lot of talk about your transfer, did you experience it?
To be honest, not much. I rather waited for what could happen, because they discussed me a lot in the discussions. But I had a good overview of the situation, because I was in regular contact with Robert Spálenka and Craig Oster, who are my agents, so we discussed variants that may occur.
Could you choose?
Not much, I waited to see what it would be like. At the last minute, Toronto emerged, which is the most successful club in the Canadian division so far. He’s doing well, even though this season is tricky. Anyway, I’m happy.
Have you already discussed with the coaches what your role in the team should be?
We’ve had a few phone calls, but it’s premature to deal with it. It’s possible I’ll be catching on Tuesday, so to speak, against mine, because Calgary is waiting for us. We will see. It all depends on me what performance I will perform as soon as I jump, if I ask for another chance.
You moved to Toronto on Monday night, Canadian time. So would you possibly be ready to take the goal against Calgary on Tuesday night?
I was asked how I was about whether I might be ready to go fishing against Calgary. Of course, I said I’d like to catch, because every NHL game is an amazing experience no matter who you’re catching against. So this would be a little special, because Calgary has grown close to my heart. I have a lot of friends in the team, for example Milan Lucice is waiting for the 1000th match in the NHL. It would be difficult, but I will definitely want to win, even if I don’t celebrate winning against Calgary.
Very fast moving is also associated with trade. How did you do it?
Well, that was pretty funny. Packing myself for an unknown time … You don’t know how much to take, what it will all be … Somehow I did it with the great help of my amazing wife, who unfortunately had to stay in Calgary alone for the worse packing. I’m sorry, I would definitely like to help her with that, because it’s understandable that there are a lot of moving things in those four years, but I’ve already joined a new team in Toronto.
