Malmo Acquires Bobandy

[tcookie 894]

With one big move, the Malmo Nighthawks have solidified their roster for the upcoming season, with the acquisition of centre Randy Bobandy from the Calgary Wranglers. The Nighthawks sent their first and second-round picks in S96 to Calgary in the deal.

 

Bobandy is a seven-year VHL veteran, drafted 4th overall in S87, who has compiled 178 goals and 497 points in 504 career VHL games. While last year didn't go as planned for Bobandy and the Wranglers, he has hit the 80-point mark three times in his career with career-highs of 71 assists and 90 points reached in S89 with Seattle.

 

Bobandy is a pass-first player who excels on face-offs and is one of the best two-way forwards in the league as well. He's not particularly physical but is an excellent penalty-killer, shot blocker, and marks his man well. He's signed through S94 and has a player option for S95, so if all goes well for the Nighthawks, surely this acquisition is made with an eye towards helping the team both this season AND next.

 

As a team full of natural shooters, the Nighthawks hope that adding Bobandy to the mix will create some excellent chemistry for whatever unit he's on as well as the powerplay - in addition to being a great addition to the locker room.
