Sunderbruch Traded!

[NickSunderbruch 392]

     Nicholas Sunderbruch, a star forward for the Toronto Legion has been traded to London United! This blockbuster trade includes the following; 

 

Toronto Acquires: Season 70 second round pick (LDN)

 

London Acquires: Nicholas Sunderbruch, Season 80 third round pick (PRG) 

 

     While this trade is hardly a blockbuster trade in itself, it's still an acquisition by the London United that adds depth to their already stacked roster. Sunderbruch's role is that of a depth goal scorer that can come in clutch at big times, unfortunately this wasn't always the case, in his rookie season the left winger put up 27 goals and 47 assists to add up to 74 points in 72 games. While that success may have prompted the league to turn their eyes to the young winger, the hype slowly died down as Sunderbruch put up 50 points in each of his next two seasons. And while that's impressive for someone who was teetering between the second and third line, the worst was yet to come. This season in 51 games, Nicholas has 8 goals and 6 assists for only 14 points, the struggle to gain points wasn't for a lack of TOI, but merely some bad games on the season. 

 

     When asked interviewed about the trade and his decline in the season, this is what he had to say; 

 

Interviewer: Nicholas, you were traded to a serious playoff contender, how do you feel about this trade?

 

Sunderbruch: I was a little shocked, I woke up and made myself a bowl of cereal, and as I'm eating I check my phone and see that I've been traded. I'm excited to be playing in a city as amazing as London, but it's a far way from my home, so I hope that I fit in well. 

 

Interviewer: Do you have anything you'd like to say to the people here in Toronto before you fly out to London?

 

Sunderbruch: Toronto is a beautiful city and I really enjoyed playing here, I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet some fans and to play with some of the guys that I did, I'm really gonna miss Scotty, the guy was a bright light in the locker room and I'm glad to have met him. So I guess I just wanna say thank you!

 

Interviewer: One final question before you leave, how do you feel about your stats this season? Do they reflect you, the team, or just bad luck?

 

Sunderbruch: I think it really just reflects on how hard it can be to get points in the VHL, I mean this league is the most competitive in the world and the defenses of every team is solid and surpasses even NHL quality players. So honestly I just have to work harder to get the puck in the back of the net. 

 

Interviewer: Thank you, enjoy your time in London.

 

As one can see this has been a hard year for Sunderbruch, but he seems determined to get his name on the cup at least once before his career comes to a close.
