Rip Wheeler Jumps Conference to Avoid Scurvy

[Thunder 1,166]

Rip Wheeler, @ScottyP is changing sweaters after being traded from the Calgary Wranglers to the Prague Phantoms.  The trade also saw all-star defenseman Skor McFleury, @Alex move to Prague with Wheeler.  Calgary picks up Kyle Toms, @Ktoms22 and Moritz Stauffer @GoodLeftUndone in the trade, along with a season 95 Prague first round pick in exchange for a season 95 Calgary second round pick.   

 

Dissecting this trade, it appears that both teams come out winners.  Starting with Calgary, they pick up a first round pick in season 95, which will boost their roster in the future.  Trading McFleury also frees up some salary cap this season.  Adding Stauffer to the defense with Phil Strasmore, @Phil will definitely make it tough to score on the Wranglers.  With Randy Bobandy, @AJW in the lineup, Toms will have someone to look up to and help develop into a top forward.

 

For Prague, adding a record breaking defenseman and an up and coming forward will surely keep Prague in the hunt for the cup, especially with the retirements of Nikolas Kauppi, @Tetricide and John Jameson, @Frank.  Skor McFleury will be a good mentor for the young Prague defensemen.

 

Both Calgary and Prague will be making some more decisions before the season begins.  On a side note, with Wheeler going to Prague, he will be expected to step up and not be the slacker he is so accustomed to.  Hopefully he learns how to block shots with Prague.  He also better hit the gym because Logan Ninefingers, @Scurvy is looking for some toe to toe action, especially now that Wheeler moved out of the North American Conference.  Ninefingers was so looking forward to getting multiple opportunities to smash Wheeler’s face.
