In Season 37 a young Grecian defenseman named Dimothenis Vlasis declared for the VHL Entry draft and not many people though something of it. His player agent Shawn Howard didn’t have much success in bringing young talent into the VHL. He came in with a paltry 31 TPE, but with time he began to show up more and more to practice. The season started on March 11th 2014, but Vlasis has been showing up to practices since February 11th 2014. The season has now ended on April 11th 2014. Thats 8 weeks, in 8 weeks Vlasis has gained 70 TPE (including this 1 point). 70/8 is 8.75 practice hours per week, which I think is a record for myself. I have never been more active in my life, I attribute this success for the interest and fun I'm having with the boys in Turku. In Season 37 Vlasis has played in 72 games, scoring 34 goals and adding 62 assists for 96 points. He also finished with a +19 and a team leading 154 blocked shots.

Trades In my previous segment, I began talking about the trades that happened from the beginning of Season 18 to the end. Now I will talk about the biggest trade from Season 18 that took place between the Riga Reign and the New York Americans. To Center ~ Stefan Arnason Left Wing ~ Kobe Bryant Season 20 New York American 1st Round Draft Pick ~ Defenseman Japinder Singh Season 20 New York American 2nd Round Draft Pick ~ Center Turd Ferguson To Center ~ Jamie Nathanson Left Wing ~ Zlatan Zanetti Season 20 Riga Reign 2nd Round Draft Pick ~ Defenseman Jordan Payne Trade Breakdown ~ Riga Reign Season 18: Stefan Arnason Regular Season (NYA) – 22 GP | 7 G | 10 A | 17 P | +15 | 8 PIM | 14 H | 64 SH | 6 SB (RIG) – 51 GP | 34 G | 34 A | 68 P | +20 | 46 PIM | 77 H | 287 SH | 7 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 7 GP | 7 G | 2 A | 9 P | +7 | 28 PIM | 10 H | 40 SH | 1 SB Season 18: Kobe Bryant Regular Season (OTT) – 22 GP | 6 G | 12 A | 18 P | -3 | 0 PIM | 16 H | 39 SH | 1 SB (GOT) – 51 GP | 0 G | 5 A | 5 P | +8 | 4 PIM | 8 H | 6 SH | 2 SB Playoffs (GOT) – 9 GP | 2 G | 1 A | 3 P | +1 | 8 PIM | 13 H | 11 SH | 0 SB Stefan Arnason was picked up by the Riga Reign because they needed his massive potential. He was young and his player agent was none other than Scotty Campbell. In his quarter season, he put up 34 goals and 34 assists for 68 points in 51 games. He finished 2nd on the team in scoring albeit 17 of his 85 points came with the New York Americans, so his 68 points with Riga was really 4th in team scoring. In the playoffs, Stefan stepped up and scored 7 goals in 7 games but this was not good enough to propel the Reign into the finals. They bowed out in 7 games to the Madrid Thunder. To go with his 7 goals he added 2 assists for 9 points in total. This playoff really showed that Arnason was making the Reign his own team, just like the Reign would hope he would. Kobe Bryant had some decent potential, he would spend Season 18 in the minors playing for the Ottawa ice Dogs to start then when he got traded to Riga he finished the season playing for the Gothenburg Eagles. He didn’t fare well at all with the Eagles. He put up a paltry 5 points (all assists) with the Eagles, keep this in mind he played 51 games with the Eagles. He was forced to play a minor role with the team so maybe that’s why he didn’t do very well. He stepped his game up slightly in the playoffs when the Eagles went to the finals in the VHLM. He recorded 2 goals and 1 assists for 3 points in 9 games. However, the Eagles still went on to lose in the finals in a 4 game sweep to the hands of the Brampton Battalion. Season 19: Stefan Arnason Regular Season (RIG) – 72 GP | 31 G | 48 A | 79 P | +34 | 89 PIM | 106 H | 294 SH | 13 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 6 GP | 3 G | 0 A | 3 P | -5 | 10 PIM | 11 H | 21 SH | 0 SB Kobe Bryant was traded from the Riga Reign to the New York Americans with S20 New York’s 1st rounder in Season 19. Riga also dealt S20 New York American 2nd rounder at a later trade in Season 18. I will get into further detail when the time comes, but as of now Stefan Arnason is the only remaining player/draft pick that was dealt to Riga. Now back to Arnason, He had a very pedestrian regular season, finishing 31 goals and 48 assists for 79 points. This was only good enough for 4th in team scoring, 5th if you count a player that was acquired in a trade. He was only one a 2 forwards on the team to reach double digits in hits though, as he sure made his presence felt with 106 hits. The Riga Reign made the playoffs quite readily with 25 points on top of 3rd place Helsinki. They played the HC Davos Dynamo in the 1st round of the playoffs. They however fell to the upstart Dynamo in 6 games. Arnason was only able to garner 3 goals in 6 games while finished an ugly -5 tied for worst on the team. That unfortunately was the end of Arnason’s career as it seems, as I can’t find him anywhere else after Season 19. So now let’s take a look at his stats with the Riga Reign. Career with Riga Reign Stefan Arnason Regular Season (RIG) – 123 GP | 65 G | 82 A | 147 P | +54 | 135 PIM | 183 H | 581 SH | 20 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 13 GP | 10 G | 2 A | 12 P | +2 | 38 PIM | 21 H | 32 SH | 1 SB Kobe Bryant Regular Season - (GOT) – 51 GP | 0 G | 5 A | 5 P | +8 | 4 PIM | 8 H | 6 SH | 2 SB Playoffs (GOT) – 9 GP | 2 G | 1 A | 3 P | +1 | 8 PIM | 13 H | 11 SH | 0 SB Stefan Arnason had a very good career in Riga being a point per game player in competitions. The only thing missing was hardware to go with the good season and a half he enjoyed. 10 goals in 13 games in his playoff career are pretty outstanding if you think about it. Although, this was the only piece Riga kept in this trade it turned out to be a very good piece. Kobe Bryant on the other hand spent one miserable regular season in the Reign’s minor league affiliation which at the time was the Gothenburg Eagles. His play picked up somewhat in the playoffs but other than that he was happy to get out of dodge. Trade Breakdown ~ New York Americans Jamie Nathanson Regular Season (RIG) – 21 GP | 6 G | 20 A | 26 P | +12 | 4 PIM | 20 H | 98 SH | 0 SB (NYA) – 50 GP | 30 G | 33 A | 63 P | +24 | 18 PIM | 61 H | 257 SH | 2 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 7 GP | 2 G | 7 A | 9 P | -3 | 8 PIM | 13 H | 19 SH | 2 SB Zlatan Zanetti Regular Season (RIG) – 21 GP | 9 G | 8 A | 17 P | +10 | 38 PIM | 43 H | 90 SH | 7 SB (NYA) – 50 GP | 16 G | 33 A | 49 P | +38 | 51 PIM | 83 H | 212 SH | 7 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 7 GP | 2 G | 7 A | 9 P | -3 | 8 PIM | 13 H | 19 SH | 2 SB Jamie Nathanson was part of the deal that brought Stefan Arnason to Riga. Nathanson had a very good year leading up to the trade posting 26 points in 21 games, he for the most part kept that pace all the way to the end of the season. He finished with 63 points in 60 games while playing for his new club in New York. For those who suck at math, he finished with a grand total of 83 points in 71 games. The playoffs were a whole new beast for Nathanson as he did put up a near point per game, but as you can see he was a -3. New York wound up losing in 7 games to the eventual champion Calgary Wranglers. This was hard fought at they left it all out there. Zlatan Zanetti was also part of the package that sent Arnason to the Reign. He was taking a bit longer to adjust to the new surroundings as he didn’t put up the offensive numbers Nathanson put up upon arrival. He had 17 points in 21 games in a Reign uniform and 49 in 50 in the American uniform. He was a typical power forward though as he certainly hit a lot of players finishing with a total of 126 hits. He saved his best offensive output for the playoffs as he finished with 9 points in 7 game series loss to the Wranglers. He scored 2 goals and had an assist per game. This was ultimately disappointing for the duo that came from Riga as this was their last in New York. Well Zanetti would go on to play 12 more games in the big apple but he was later traded back to Riga. Career With New York Americans Jamie Nathanson Regular Season (RIG) – 50 GP | 30 G | 33 A | 63 P | +24 | 18 PIM | 61 H | 257 SH | 2 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 7 GP | 4 G | 2 A | 6 P | -3 | 6 PIM | 4 H | 18 SH | 1 SB Zlatan Zanetti Regular Season (NYA) – 62 GP | 21 G | 36 A | 57 P | +35 | 63 PIM | 111 H | 255 SH | 12 SB Playoffs (RIG) – 7 GP | 2 G | 7 A | 9 P | -3 | 8 PIM | 13 H | 19 SH | 2 SB Jamie Nathanson and Zlatan Zanetti were acquired for veteran leadership. Seeing as both didn't last very long in New York with Nathanson retiring and New York trading Zanetti back to Riga proves that this trade was really for the sake of making a trade. Final Thoughts Well, in my honest opinion, I think that Riga won this trade, seeing as Stefan Aranson lasted two seasons in Riga before retiring. Although they didn't keep the draft picks they acquired, they still had the longest serving trade piece that was involved. New York even traded Zlatan Zanetti back to Riga. The draft picks were never kept as they were all traded at a later trade. Riga Reign GM: Dustin Funk ~ 2-0 trade record New York Americans GM: Sam Helberg ~ 0-1 trade record

that will come with playing time, you cant just practice your ass off and expect to be good in game because thats different, but i do see where youre coming from, i just think you were harsh to critize him after 1 game thats all

i never watched the game but this was 1 game. he sat for the better part of months, 18 games straight was it not? thats a lot of action missed. as they won tonight with him in net was he any better not that he got the feel for the game today?

after one game this is what we've come to the conclusion too?

So, i just watched a couple of documentaries on The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. not going to lie it brought back so much memories... the endings got me all choked up i recommend you guys check it out if you can.

The season 37 deadline passes with barely a whisper as only one trade was competed. This trade consisted of the Riga Reign sending their 1st round draft pick in Season 38 and in Season 39 which also included a Season 39 2nd round draft pick. These picks were acquired for a friend of mine in Kameron Taylor, Malcolm Spud and Guido Schwartz esq. There was another trade that was not allowed as it was past the trade deadline which brought much controversy. I will not get into this because well im sure people are done with hearing and talking about it. With this though, I will ask would the VHL consider moving the cap up to accommodate a much more interesting trade deadline or not? My answer is probably not, because this might upset the whole balance of the way things are done here. And well here are 6 or more words to break the 150 mark. because well screw the system. its 1 tpe.
