Seattle Weaving Through Off-Season, Find Their Guy SEATTLE - If it's one thing the Seattle Bears are good at other than winning, it's having fun, successful off-seasons. Maybe we're tooting our own horn here a little but, but they do seem to always find a way to make the most out of situations in the off-season. Last season, how many trades did they make? They made 9. Those trades were massive and absolutely critical to the success that Seattle had last season. Sure, they lost out to a New York team that got red hot, found momentum and then fell flat to a seasoned Wolves team. They did have a strong regular season though and once again showed the league they're still one of the best and have been doing it now for almost 25 seasons consistently. This off-season it seems to be the same status quo for the Seattle Bears organization as they quickly got to work, working the DM lines on Discord and even throwing back to some Forum offers for old time sake. The Seattle Bears have so far made 4 (5...) trades this off-season, but there's strong rumours out there that they're not finished quite yet! Before we get to that, let's take a look at the moves they've made so far. TO SEATTLE (S87) Logan Foley S90 MAL 2nd S90 NYA 2nd TO MALMO (S85) Daniel Weaver BREAKDOWN: Tough deal to make because Daniel Weaver is a good player and good member @ThePerfectNut. I've had them on the team before and we were fortunate enough to win together. I know what you get when they're on your team. They're typically consistent earners, good players, loyal/fun members of the locker room and always help the team find a way to win. I would have loved to have kept them, but that's the business sometimes. We end up picking up two 2nd round picks in a solid draft. We can use these to draft or as trade chips to gather other assets and moves. Logan Foley was the player sent along in the deal and while I didn't have a huge amount of knowledge on the player, I knew a small bit about the member @WildfireMicro. So far they've been a very good, active member of the Seattle team and we like what we've seen. TO SEATTLE (S88) Boolie Bucholz S90 SEA 4th TO CALGARY Halvar Torbjorn BREAKDOWN: Simple trade. @Rayzor_7 stepped down from running things in Helsinki. Things seemed a little negative and down, so I swopped in hoping to bring aboard a good VHL bud and make them enjoy what they can with the VHL. Their player is okay. They need to earn. They can do better. It doesn't take long. They're a valuable member to the team and have been added to the council for Seattle. Hopefully being part of that can keep the fire alive! TO SEATTLE Karl Pedersen TO CALGARY S92 SEA 4th Ilya Bryzgalov BREAKDOWN: We had two options this off-season. I really wanted to retool and gather some draft picks/youth, while also contending. The plan was to move some of our more valuable pieces for picks, then bringing in a little bit older and/or cheaper through trade or FA. However, trade talks were slowing down and kind of paused between Moscow @Spartan as he had something going on is what we'll say! This kind of forced my hand.. the longer you wait, the longer you play with fire in the off-season. It can pay off, but the risk gets bigger. Especially on off-seasons like this.. when it started there was TONS of chatter.. but not too much for trades.. things kind of got jammed as lots waited for finances, depreciation and the lottery. Well, boom! Log jam seems to be freed as we head into draft day! Expect huge moves that day too imo. I still REALLY wanted to contend.. so we went out and tried to get Pedersen.. Was hopeful but I heard likely not which is alright. TO SEATTLE Clueless Wallob S90 MOS 3rd S90 MOS 4th TO MOSCOW Karl Pedersen 12th Overall BREAKDOWN: Despite being told it was going to be await, it wasn't too long after the deal above with Calgary triggered Spartan to message me. I think within the hour we had a done deal! Was kinda messy because of the waiting and then man, I got sloppy at the end.. but that's all good! Was decent talks and while it was hard to let go of 12th overall, it was a fair deal. We're really happy adding an elite, legendary goalie like @DMaximus and super thrilled to be adding them to our bears family and locker room. Been a massive fan of the agency for a long time and I'm so happy we get to add them to my tenure history!

Welcomer @DMaximus Happy to add another legendary, elite goalie between the pipes in Seattle. WOOO!

Hopefully works out for all thank you!

Wooo commissioners cup!

Wooo

Blake Campbell & Asia, WJC Seattle, USA - Names were just announced by World Junior Commissioners @samx and @Zetterberg for the S90 tournament and it looks like long-time VHL, VHLM and World Juniors GM veteran Blake Campbell is going to make a return to the World Juniors stage. With a good amount of VHL games (2,952), Continental Cups (7), Founders Cups (3) and World Championships (8) on every level of competition, Campbell looks to add some experience and spice to the tournament as he has been quoted as saying "This off-season should be huge. This tournament should be huge. This is the biggest draft we've had since S67. We're 10 seasons away from 100 seasons. We have every excuse in the book to all put in effort to change the status on off-seasons and make this one super fun". With the excitement coming out of Seattle/Asia, it's slowly starting to spread out in the World Juniors community. With the announcements about the management hirings, Team Asia is now looking to take a step forward with the World Juniors Championship and elevate the experience for those involved and even those who are not. An offer had be suggested to the WJC commissioning team, had been approved and has officially been sent out for acceptance. It is rumoured the Blake Campbell will be bringing in @AJW to help assist with the running of things, however, momentum won't be stopping there and he claimed it's just the tip of the bamboo. (this isn't as bad as Team USA stirring up everyone down in... Melby Melbourne, right?) ASIA, ASIA, ASIA GET BEHIND THE MOVEMENT

ASIA!

EAGLES IN GREEN. ALMOST AS GOOD AS A BEARS JERSEY!

Already a very great addition to the team and LR. Excited to have them on the team.
