Frank 5,280 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 April 11, 2021 Helsinki, Finland The Titans landed defenseman James Rose @MattyIce on Saturday, a week before the Season 77 trade deadline. James Rose coincidentally was drafted by Helsinki in Season 72 and subsequently lost in expansion. Rose departs a struggling Riga team and joins a team with championship aspirations. The hope is James will solidify the Titans defense alongside Emi Rune. With the depth of Helsinki's forward group it will be interesting to see if @Jubo07 deploys two dmen on the first pp unit. Both Rose and Rune have a shoot first mentality so the plan maybe to produce more point shots that either produce more deflection or rebound goals. This also vastly improves a huge question mark which was Helsinki's back end. So full marks to GM Juliann Borwinn on seeing an opening in the EU conference and going for it. James Rose has a career 279 points in 326 games. mattyIceman and Jubo 1 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/101923-helsinki-lands-james-rose/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
