Top 3 players I want my team to trade for, and why (Houston Bulls)

[Oatex 283]

Theme week.. yea I have 2 PT's currently waiting, but I have to write this one now too haha. Guess im good for a couple of weeks on PT's after this one.

 

Anyways, I'm just gonna pick three players that I believe my current team, the Houston Bulls, should trade for - and why I think they'd help us make a cup run.

First off, I think that adding a solid depth defender or two would help. We currently have 3 defenseman, who are all above 200 TPE, 2 of which being over 300. Not only is this a concern for next year, but also currently, we have no depth! Their endurance cant be that good, right? Anyways, out of the top 5 point totals on the team, all 3 defenseman are ranked 3-5, this is either really bad for our offense, or really good for our defense. None of them have that true defensive defenseman build, as they all seem either 2-way or offensive, which leaves us with a few options. After searching the market, I believe Bazooka Joe would be a great addition. He is currently 3rd in shots blocked, and 8th in hits. While sitting at 175 TPE, this would be a great pickup for Houston for future seasons to come as well.

 

Next up, we definitely need a depth goalie. Both of our current goalies are over 300 TPE, meaning they most likely wont be here next season. With that being said, we need someone who can ride the bench for the rest of this season, and start next season. My initial pick to fill this position was Louis Burley, the Philadelphia goaltender. After looking into it further, im not sure that the Reapers would split with him due to him being their current starter. With that being said, I think the more realistic option is the Halifax 21st backup goaltender, Kim Chi. Currently sitting the bench anyways, he is around the 100 TPE mark. We can estimate he will be around 150 TPE by the start of next season, and they could definitely have him bench then too.

 

Last but definitely not least, I think they could trade for another average forward now that will be elite next season. We currently only have maybe 3 true earners who will get up to that full potential next season, and I think bringing on another kind of build that is underrated now, but earning a ton will be a great trade asset for the team. I think that a close friend of mine from past seasons, Kal El, would be a great fill in for this role. Currently at 125 TPE, hes earning around 10-12 TPE per week. With that being said - he could be a great piece to our team next season, especially if we wanna make a late season push for playoffs. Being a fresh recreate, this guy has a lot of potential to be a underrated guy in the S98 class. Never really will reach the top early on due to how late the recreate is, but is a great earner.
