I met the coaches and Philip Larsen, so it wasn't a difficult choice. I understood that I'm bringing in a gameplay, which they have missed according to the coaches. Especially when you get to the playoffs, where it is tighter and tougher and I'm bringing in size and physic. I'm coming to a team who's got a fun gameplay and coaches that can contribute to my continuing development," Oliver said.
