Crazy Off-Season See's Tons of Changes

[Devise 4,475]

The VHL has recently been witness to one of, if not the most league shattering off-season in history. Teams that were just starting out rebuilding, like Helsinki, Riga, and New York have rocketed forward. Teams that were once kingpins have decided to rebuild, most namely Quebec but Cologne slightly as well. The recent Continental Cup Champion Wranglers have restructured to bolster their roster for repeat while other top teams like Stockholm and Davos have made some changes in attempts to deal with the salary cap. Even the young rebuilding teams who are further out made efforts to solidify their future both via drafts and trades. 

 

The amount of changes to each team is pretty crazy, here is a rundown of players in and out whether it's from trade, free agency, or retirement for every team.

As you can clearly see, we are witnessing a large amount of change this off season. Stockholm is the only team not to "gain" new players on their roster this season. Seattle arguably as well, although some of those S45 draftees could spend time on their club this season. All teams made at least one significant trade this off-season. Trades that involved either quality picks or players. All teams are either experiencing a influx of new players on their team or alternatively like Stockholm lost some players due to the salary cap. The fact that the off-season isn't even over, and rumblings of more deals are to be had is rather impressive. I don't know if I would call this the craziest off-season of all time, but it is certainly up there.
