San Diego

[Plate 386]

San Diego are terrible. Which is surprising considering the great talent the team had prior to the trade deadline. The decision to sell one of the VHLMs best players Inker Bell comes at a really odd point. Considering the team also had another piece as trade bait, a player they traded two 1st round picks for, who will only be with the team for one season. I wouldn't go as far as to call this mismanagement, but it's certainly startling sending TWO first round picks to snag the first overall pick, an then to use it on a goalie. Maybe Mysterious Fish knows something I don't. Now they have a couple more drafts to fix the damage of this last season. 

Not that it's up to me but San Diego are going to need a lot of help next season before they can make some stronger moves and make a deep run and be relevant again. I just hope they don't trade both of their 1st round picks again for the 1st overall selection and learn that depth and filling roster spots will make the team more competitive.
