Ninefingers heads to Vasteras

Often the road to the VHL is more about the journey than the destination, or so they say.  For Logan Ninefingers, his path to the VHL has been a fun and unique experience that will show the bruising Right Winger visiting Europe for the first time ever.

 

Prior to the draft it was anyone’s guess which club would pick him up.   After going first overall to Vancouver in the VHL draft, Ninefingers was slated anywhere in the top ten or so, depending on team needs.  But as the draft came, we saw young Ninefingers drop to 6^thoverall to the Oslo Storm.  It appeared Logan was packing his bags for Norway.  

 

                                     

 But wait……a phone call from his agent informed Ninefingers that he had in fact been traded to Vasteras to join a very established club looking to make another run for a Cup. Ninefingers was ecstatic to join a club battled for the cup just last season but ultimately lost to Cologne.  Ninefingers told the press that he was excited to belong to a club that had already battled so hard together in the playoffs and could be so close to winning but fall short.  He knew they would be even hungrier to win.

 

Ninefingers is no stranger to tough losses as his Philadelphia Reapers lost in the finals just last season as well.  Ninefingers brings a lot to an already deep club.  He is big and can throw his weight around to score tough goals and doesn’t hurt the team defensively.  He can also score, in bunches.  Last season with the help of Reaper teammates, Logan amassed 64goals 88 assists for 152 points while still contributing 277 hits.  

 

Logan can play power play if needed, pick-up short-handed minutes, or even drop to a crash line and give a team a boost with some energetic hitting and hard forecheck.  Where Logan needs to work on his defensive game to become the complete 200-foot player.  While he doesn’t ultimately hurt a club defensively that’s the one attribute he can focus on, especially now when playing against competition that gets better and better and bigger.

 

Overall, Ninefingers could not be happier going to Vasteras and is looking forward to continuing the rivalry with Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts who was drafted by the hated Stockholm Vikings that sits about 62 miles west of Vasteras.  Guntis and Ninefingers and both big and mean and had legendary battles in the VHLM, so everyone is excited to see that continue.

Well.....forgot to update.  It seems the trade was nullified and Ninefingers remained in Olso.  Still Gavilrovs better keep his head up in Stockholm because no matter where Ninefingers plays, he's hunting.
