Ori getting ready for the start of season 82

[ROOKIE745 604]

It might be hard to believe that it's already been three years since Jonathan Ori was drafted by the Helsinki Titans, he's out of his entry level contract now and on his two years extension with an option of a third year. He remains committed to the Finland team for at least the next two seasons, and the team will have to show upward progress to entice him to stay. Easier said than done though as the roster is looking thin on noticeable players. Magnus Verlander is the elder player on the team being from the S76 draft, Nezuko is coming up from the VHLE and looks to have a bright future, Johnston is easily the team's top player, coming off a 63 goal, 125 point season. Finally you have Ori coming off a season 78 point season with 53 assists and a faceoff win percentage over 55. With Sharkton retired it leaves Ori as the only big center for the team. The blue line is filled with VHLE level players besides Nano, he will be heavily leaned on for the whole season. They do have a top tier goalie in Booberry, who you have to think is going to face a ton of shots this season. The blue line is suffering so the team is going to have to depend on outscoring the opponents and Booberry stealing games.
