"I want to play at the highest possible level," said Gazda. "I will chase the game for a few years no matter where I end up starting from. I’ll continue to do that until I reach the point where I am not learning or growing as a player. "[Pittsburgh is] a team I grew up watching since I was a little kid. I am aiming as high as possible but if that’s where I start out, then I’d be all for playing for my hometown team."
