Cologne, Germany - As the season progresses toward its end, teams outside of contention start to make their offseason plans clearer. This week's rumor involves Maverick Goncalves, the Express winger who ignored the opportunity to play his eligible season in the VHLM, instead choosing to move up to the VHLE, where he's facing harsher competition.

 

His preference for playing in Europe came to light during the last off-season when he was interviewed during a Continental Cup Finals game. He then stated he wasn't leaving, creating a whirlwind of rumors regarding his future in the VHLM and a subsequent tour around Europe to visit different VHLE cities and teams.

 

Some General Managers have already started working on this season's draft class, as some VHL teams are already out of playoff contention. There are rumors that HC Davos Dynamo was the first team to reach out to Maverick. Not only would this allow the Goncalves family story to continue, but it would also enable Maverick to play in his home country. After all, Davos was the first place Maverick saw after being born on the flight that took his father, Leandro, from Seattle to Davos.

 

Given the rumors surrounding Maverick, this surely won't be the last piece it's written about this.
