Banackock 8,044 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) The Seattle Bears traded for Leandro Goncalves from the Calgary Wranglers during the off-season. Wranglebear! SEATTLE - The Seattle Bears get things done. Usually well before the off-season commences, the Seattle Bears manager Blake Campbell is often already working the phones, talking to agents, prospects and starting to figure out what they're going to do in the off-season. Often to others it can look like complete and utter chaos. In Seattle, more specific to Blake Campbell, they call it Spider Webbing. When you have one asset you're looking to move, or multiple, and you have a vision in place but have to bob, weave and spider web your way through thick and thin, active and semi-active, managers to complete your vision and team for the off-season. It happens a lot in Seattle and one way or another, some version of a their spider web shapes up. For Seattle this off-season, there's more than enough to go around and share! They've added massive pieces and one of their latest ones to be added to the Bears franchise is Wranglers forward, Leandro Goncalves. They've spent the last 6 seasons all with the Calgary Wranglers, scoring 217 goals, 248 assists and 465 points through 432 games with the mcdonalds ponies. "It was a little tricky getting Leandro to Seattle and it was mostly our fault. Knowing out situation, we could go three directions. Rebuild, Retool or Go for it all. I don't care to rebuild anymore. I feel like, if done right, there's better version or systems you can use that are similar that may speed things up. I guess it's just all about building your team the best you can and then having luck on your side too. Fortunately, things fell into place for us here, we were able to sacrifice an asset that Calgary was interested in. Initially, because we were waiting on other teams and pieces, our desire to move those picks were limited. Once things started to fall into place, that's when it all happened.. That expression is poor though.. because it made it seem as though it was a cake walk. It is chaos.. it is madness.. spider webbing.. it takes hours and hours of planning, back and forth often, tons of talks.. But yeah. We add an elite forward to an elite group. " Leandro Goncalves has been a welcomed member of the Seattle Bears Family and already proven to the team and fanbase why he was so loved in Calgary. We cannot wait to chase down one last cup with them. One final welcome @leandrofg Edited August 9, 2023 by Banackock leandrofg 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/139303-seattle-snipes-star-awakens-the-wranglebear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
