Reiks Future in London?

[Devise 4,475]

We have past the halfway point of the VHL season and with it, another one where London finds itself on the outside looking in to the playoff picture. While that was mostly expected, again, this season it is still worth nothing that there is still enough games left for anything to happen. The team is also not ENTIRELY out of the playoff race at this time, but looking at how things have gone it would take a serious turn of events for the team to go on a stretch that would land them in a playoff position. 

One thing that is worth watching as the season comes to a close though, is the contract situation of London defender Sven Reikkinen. Reiks rookie contract is up at the end of Season 80 and at the moment there have been no confirmation of talks or reports about where Sven could land. All talks out of the player agent and the team have been that Sven has remained quiet and focused entirely on his game. Despite the struggles the United have had this season, Sven is beginning to take the steps to evolve into the player that many United fans thought they were getting when they drafted the Swede at 5th overall 3 seasons ago. 

Will Sven stay in London? If he did test the open market who would even be interested in a player of his caliber? It's way too early to tell what happens on this front, and when Sven was drafted he did say he wanted to commit more longer term to the team that took the opportunity to draft him. However you never know what an off-season brings, especially in the VHL, so we'll see what happens.
