With the trade deadline slowly creeping up teams are starting to prepare for long playoff runs, or re-shuffling the deck. Unlike recent years, Season 38 has a lot of contenders in cap crunch mode. One team that currently has space and the need for a couple key pieces to push them over the top would be Vasteras. On the other end of the spectrum Quebec currently possess two players in their final seasons, those being Doug Clifford and Tom Valiq. With not many dance partners out there for Quebec the price for the two players combined is said to be below market value. A rumour inside the Quebec organization is that the rebuild has begun and it's not a matter of if they move out their teams assets but when. Currently the prospect pool in Quebec is quite thin with Brock Waldron, Aksel Thomassen and Percy Miller leading the way. Quebec will look to strong drafting going forward. Vasteras core is slowly entering their primes and it may be the perfect time for them to stock up two players like Clifford and Valiq with the available cap space they do have and the offense they so desperately need.
