Reapers New Assistant captain

DrunkMonkey23 · December 22, 2021

On December 12th the Philadelphia Reapers gm made a 3-way trade with Saskatoon and Houston. The Reapers received Cole Pearce but ultimately had to sacrifice Adora Happysmile Rainbowfist whom was part of the leader circle in Philly to Houston. Also Saskatoon received Dylan Dubnyk and S82 HFX 5th. With that trade, the Reapers where in need of a new assistant captain. Alex, the Reapers gm and the teams leader group chose to assign young Filand defenseman Branden Skuin to the role. With 56 game played, the rookie Defenseman totals 5 goal and 20 pts and a +8. The Fin is currently on the 3rd defensive line of the club and he's rocking the 1st powerplay wave. The Finland Rocket was a surprise to the club as he quickly rose the ranks proving himself as a steady scoring puck moving defensman and a born leader. As a free agent he more than just a nice acquisition by the Reapers.

Starting with Cole Pearce, the 16 year old giant goalie as gone to hell of a start with the Reapers and is a hige part of the recent success of the Reapers. In 11 games Pearce has a record of 7-3-1 with a .908 SV% and 2.9 GAA. As Reapers GM's commented when asked about the past weeks trades, "probably the biggest trade for us to be competitive this season". Reapers players where also asked about the recent trades and lines changes post trade in past press conference, here what some of them had to say.

"Those are the key to victory, trust the process"
-Branden Skuin

"Can't complain, i trust our GM is doing anything he can to win"
- Mason Jones (Team Captain)

"We look fantastic IMO."
-Seymour Butts

"Trades and line changes are necessary to build a stronger team"
-Chikeli Cholo

Players were also asked about the nomination of rookie Branden Skuin as assitant to Mason Jones. Players had nothing but great things to say about the Finland Rocket:

"Excited for him to step into the role, good guy from all my interactions with him."
-Ryan

"I think he's built to be a fantastic leader. He will captain a team soon."
-Seymore Butts

"Certainly solid in it. Was a good choice."
-Tyler Walker

It's certain to assume that the Reapers are just getting ready for a playoff run like no other. With that confidence in the players and management nothing but great things can happen for this squad. When ask about his future in the league,
Skuin had few things to say :

"Currently I'm not really thinking about it, as a team we are set in playoff mode already and as the season is closing matches are crucial to win as we intend to rise in the standing. Sadly i know i could end up with any other team at the draft but i rather focus on the current season and the success of the team. I love my time as a Reaper i strongly believe in our team."

Thanks to all Reapers who unknowingly help with that article. I did took longer than i thought to finish it but here it is.
