The VHLM Trade Deadline is coming will it be exciting or boring?

Midseason standings update and trade deadline thoughts.

 

Now that we are midway through the season and the trade deadline is fast approaching we're going to take a quick look at the standings and give our thoughts on how things will play out. Currently the Philadelphia Reapers are leading the league with a 7 point cushion over 2nd place San Diego, but right behind them is Las Vegas with Miami, Houston, and Mexico right behind them. So out of these 7 teams I could see anyone of them pushing for top spot by seasons end especially depending on if they pick up a much needed piece or two at the deadline. The bottom four teams are in descending order the Ottawa Lynx, Halifax 21st, Saskatoon Wild, and the Missisauga Hounds these three teams have some very nice pieces though and could likely move some to look towards next year as there is likely not much chance of a deep run even though two of these teams will clinch the final two playoff spots. They however have some players that I'm sure teams are asking about let's look at one from each roster.

Ottawa Lynx - Ivan Ivanov - @KmaddFPS

Halifax 21st - Antonia Bucatini - @CowboyinAmerica

Saskatoon Wild - Forum Content - @frescoelmo

Missisauga Hounds - Wernher von Braun - @Prof. Zach Enron

 

there are other notable players on each team too but these are the ones that jump out at us when we look, each of these players would be a huge shot in the arm for a team looking to go all the way this year. The question remains if the bottom four teams want to give up on this year or try to be a dark horse in playoffs though. Either way the final weeks of the season will be exciting as this close race for top spot winds down, we expect it to be one to three points separating first and second this year.
