Unassisted to hit FA; looking for a new role


Recommended Posts

Calgary, Alberta.

 

Last off-season the Calgary Wranglers were able to land not one, but four of the big fish free agents on the market. Tyson Kohler, Black Velvet, Aleksi Koponen, and Unassisted all jumped at the opportunity to play with one another, in search of a Continental Cup. While they dominated the regular season, they were rather lackluster in the playoffs, and many said the shoot-first mentality of the four, hindered their chemistry. While it was announced earlier today Kohler and Kopenen have signed on for another year, it seems as though that might be where the signings end. Austin Gow had made it clear that he wants to compete in S52 for a cup, but gave the locker room an understanding that it would be moving forward with the hopes of re-signing one of the four S51 Free Agents. They were able to land two, and arguably the two they really wanted.

 

S52 will mark the second year in a row Unassisted hits the market. He has been the second line center to Aleksi Kopenen since his sophmore season with the Quebec City Meute. There have been rumours out saying that he's wanted an extended role, as on any other team he would be a top flight first line center. It seems as though Unassisted will hit the market with the sole purpose of finally becoming a first line center and premier scorer. Unassisted was the leading scorer and point earner in S50, but dropped off heavily in S51. He is looking to take on a leadership role and be the face of a franchise.

 

"I'm not looking to be a depth forward, or a secondary scoring option. I'm looking to find a home, and lead a team to a championship. I'm not interested in being a rental player, I'm looking to find a good suitor with a GM I'm comfortable with, and with a franchise which looks to have a solid future who will build their team with the vision of me as their number one center."
