The Next Step

[VanCanWin 180]

It’s soooo close to happening. S68 is just around the corner and it can’t come soon enough for Van Lagen and his Malmo teammates.  The hype is building for what could be a huge year for the team.  There’s two reasons for such optimism: Development and Additions

 

Development

 

Malmo has some star potential sophomores that began their careers just last season. @Phil Phil is the star that warranted his high selection. At such a young age he’s already a leader in the locker room, a physical presence on the ice, and a dynamic talent that should shape up his career quite well. @fonziGG Johnson, our goalie, has had an offseason to develop his strength and endurance to handle a heavy workload this season. His talent and dedication to his craft sets him apart from his peers. Potential Most Improved Player here! Van Lagen has worked on his strength as well as his face offs while continuing to develop offensively last season and he is being rewarded with top line minutes to start year two. His teammates believe in him and he is determined not to let them down.

 

What an off-season Malmo had! 

 

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the work @Advantage put in to improve his team once again this offseason? I mean he got the first overall puck handed to him sure (and what an addition that pick is!) but it’s the other picks from last season and looks to be more good ones this past draft that have built a depth chart that should keep Malmo contending for a long time. Then there is the trades. Getting a star in Sully Jr as a precursor for the FA signing he made in luring prized FA Matt Thompson to Malmo. I mean the body of work here is tremendous and not just in quantity but also quality. GM of the Year right here! 

 

Let’s kick this European conference in the teeth and show them who is the presence and the future!

 

Let’s go Malmo!
