Taylor Mourning off to D.C.

[scoop 3,426]

Coming off of a 59-goal season which had him tied for second in the league, Taylor Mourning was traded from the Malmo Nighthawks to the D.C. Dragons. While the Dragons do not look like a particularly great team, in the weak North American Conference they might just be the third best. The defense is definitely the strongest position group on the team, being comprised of the trio of Poopy Peepants, Corey Kitson, and Ryan Vidot. In net, they have the S82 2nd overall pick Bubbles Utonium making his debut in the VHL. Then there are the forwards. Mourning is definitely the best of the group, and that could have him primed for an even bigger season than the last. Joining him include two Dragons from last season, Miles Johnson and Guy Lambert. This pair did show some skill last season working together, with Johnson scoring 47 goals and Lambert notching 66 assists. These two players are getting up there in age, however. Mourning will likely get the most help from rookie Ronan Lavelle, last season's VHLE leader in points (101) and goals (49). Sophomore Brian Schmigel is the last of the group, but he's not expected to make much of an impact.

Good luck @scoop. You're joining two of my former Hound mates in Johnson and Lambert.
