Busy Trade Deadline For Bratislava

 

A very busy trade deadline has just come to an end for the Bratislava Watchmen. The highly touted VHLM-team that has been good but not great so far this season decided that they needed some reinforcements if they want to be a prime contender for the Founder’s Cup this season. A total of four new players were brought in at the deadline, one through trade and three through waivers after the Watchmen had saved up their waiver priority all season, not claiming a single player. The first and biggest new acquisition was Jody 3 Moons from the rival (now probably ex-rival) Bern Royals, who came at the cost of Bratislava’s first round pick in the upcoming VHLM Dispersal Draft. There was some controversy surrounding 3 Moons arrival in Bratislava, but it seems like the issue has been resolved and 3 Moons is expected to add even more scoring power to the already deadly Watchmen offense that is headlined by Sachimo Zoidberg and Oskars Harumpf.

 

The next addition to the team was Jax Barnstormer, a highly-talented rookie goalie that is expected to challenge the more experienced Soren Douffet for the starting spot right away. While Barnstormer was claimed on “big” waivers, the two German wingers Wolfgang Strauss and Marcio Greusinho came to the team through the smaller version of the waiver program, Strauss as a regular claim and Greusinho as a free claim. Mainz-born Wolfang Strauss is considered more of a safer project while the enigmatic Marcio Greusinho is a pure boom-or-bust guy, but as young players who won’t be draft-eligible until Season 42 they are expected to play more of a depth role during the Watchmen’s push for the cup.
