Saku Turning Heads

[DollarAndADream 3,356]

The VHLE has started its very first season ever, and all teams are underway. Some players have been very impressive, and some lacking in areas they were expected to excel in.

 

The Vasteras Iron Eagles, back in the VHLE after a long departure from the VHL, have started off the season 6-3-1. This leaves them tied with the Istanbul Red Wolves for the top spot in the league, despite having a -7 goal differential. Vasteras will definitely need to improve on that if they want to get consistent and remain up top at the end of the season.

 

As for one of their players, one of their top picks Saku Kotkakoivu, he's been turning heads, but not in a good way. Fans are turning their heads away from the play when he has the puck. Saku has 2 goals and 7 points, for 9 points in 10 games. That's not outright horrible, but when there's other top players in the VHLE with 20 points already, 9 points is concerning for one of your star players.
