"I used to put him on my fantasy hockey team – and now he's coming to us," reports EBR coach Max Kaltenhauser with a laugh. He informed himself thoroughly about the new man: «David has played relatively few games in the past few seasons. But that's because he often joined later, so there were no reasons for injury. So he's used to joining later. He is in top shape and has the right attitude: I have the impression that he always wants to win and is fully motivated to help us."
He added, "We talked a lot to each other, of course to a large extent about ice hockey. We have a pretty similar view of how we can be successful. We were on the same wavelength from the start, I think that convinced him to some extent about us too."
