RLV: Early Struggles and Possible Shakeup?

[McLovin 451]

 

Live from Juan Ceson Arena, this is Radio Las Vegas, with your host, Marcus Svedberg! We've got some news for you, coming right up.

 

The Aces have had a bit of difficulty in getting their feet underneath them as the S89 VHLM season fully swings into motion, and it's hard to gauge what's causing these issues. Some point to the top heavy nature of the team, and how there isn't much depth past the star players. Others have gotten more analytical in their assessments and blame individual skills not meshing together on the ice, with the favorite theory being that the team simply passes too much and shots are far and few between, especially quality ones. With this in mind, GM @Blazzer and AGM @McLovin have been hard at work in tweaking the lineups, shifting players and ice time allocation to mend the situation. Despite their efforts, the Aces find themselves at a lowly 7-10-1 record, sitting second to last in their conference. With this in mind, what's in store for the Aces?

 

Many have suspected that the team may move pieces here soon, or at least nearing the trade deadline should the issues not be alleviated by then. A possible route the Aces take is the hard rebuild strategy, in which high skill players are dealt for draft capital and depth pieces to bolster them down the line. This is definitely the nuclear option in terms of solving the issues, but with the stagnant nature of the teams performance last few seasons, something has to change, right? Of course, this is all speculation. The team as is is remarkably strong in its high end skill, and minor tweaks and a few waiver claims would likely improve the situation. Is management willing to take that chance on the future, however, remains to be seen.

 

You know, they say no news is good news. But I think my program would be awfully dull if that were the case. That news was brought to you by the Bratislava Watchmen. "The Watchmen, the best VHLE team." @dylanjj37

 

Here's Bing Crosby reminding us of those times when you absolutely have to kiss the person you love. "Something's Gotta Give," up next.
