It was pretty momentous offseason for my player, Freezer Riposte. First came all the pre-draft interviews with GM's, which was useful for both those guys in evaluating my skills and work ethic and for me to evaluate and rank them and put it out there for the world to see. That process of trying to decide where I wanted to go was interesting; some may see it as futile, but I think it helped the teams know what I was looking for, and even ending up on a team lower in my rankings like the San Jose Sabercats may have actually been the perfect fit all-along that I just didn't recognize at the time. Draft day was exciting of course, and hearing my name called first overall was a true honor (and thanks for the well-wishes from the draft streamers). Based on their history I didn't know what to expect from the organization despite my good relations with their leadership, but I was actually flabbergasted with how great of a team and locker room I stepped into. This was even before our big trade to bring in a couple of Pennington's and really jump-start this defense. I am very excited to be a part of this team and see where the season takes us; I think all of the teams in the conference are close in skill, so with a little luck on our side anything could happen for the good ole derpcats.
