The once-promising Keiji Toriyama has been traded yet again and will be joining his fifth team. He is entering just the fourth season of his career, so he is still a relatively young player, but his progression has stalled during the past couple seasons. The frequency with which Toriyama is switching teams is remeniscent of Tuvia Bielski, who spent time with, I believe, seven of the eight teams that were around during his playing days. Some of those teams, or at least one I'm sure, he never actually played any games with. In a similar way, Toriyama was sent to Calgary early this off-season, and has been flipped to New York more recently. Having not played a game with Calgary, Toriyama still spent some time with the team. Toriyama started with the Bears and was traded to Davos, who signed him to an extension that included a $7 million salary in Season 36. That max salary could have been what prompted some of the trades because teams didn't want to be playing an inactive player such a large sum of money. From Davos he was traded to Riga, then back to Seattle, then to Calgary, and finally to the Americans, his current team. The teams he has not played for include the three teams he least desired would draft him back in S33 (Quebec, Cologne, and Helsinki) and the three teams he most desired would draft him (Toronto, Vasteras, and Helsinki).

Hey wait I have a NTC. I want to go back to Davos!

You know, I have to look at this a different way: people aren't trading me; people are trading FOR me. I'm so loved!

What's wrong with me? :'(

I'm not really all that "back," but I'll get some TPE whenever I visit and maybe update once in a while.

Why not make a thread and have it say "Article coming soon." HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM? Also, that would be the S33 inductions; shouldn't S34 have been announced by now as well?

The Hall of Fame inductees forum doesn't have any new names since back when I was still voting. What's up with that?

I belong to the HC Davos Dynamo.

I am Streetlight, by the way. I'll put it somewhere in my signature or on my profile so people can adjust to my new username.

When I find myself with time to care, I'll check if I have more.

I'm positive that I was at 999,999. I remember because I was working on my 1,000,000th post party.
