Mississauga acquires Sundell

[No_Dangles 42]

Just this morning at 12AM, Mississauga bolstered their defensive depth with incoming defenseman Andreas Sundell from The Minnesota Storm. Being sent Minnesota's way was fellow defensive prospect Khalabib Stiopic. Overall, this trade should work out in both teams' favors. For Mississauga, they currently sit at the 7th spot in the league's standings at a record of 22-19-3. With the acquisition of Sundell, not only do the Hounds finally get a partner for defenseman Hulk Hogan but they also take away Sundell from a team with a similar record of 20-21-1. For the Hounds it looks as if they are hoping that this acquisition will guarantee them a lock for a playoff spot. For The Storm, the acquisition of Stiopic is likely just for a roster spot but he was drafted in the most recent VHLM entry draft so he may still have untapped potential. Likewise, the third round pick that they're getting likely serves as a replacement for the second round pick that they're currently lacking. Nonetheless, this trade may also be a sign of future trades for both teams.
