Trade Analysis

 

This confusing offseason continues for the Riga Reign. After two major pieces of the core that led them to the Continental Cup Finals this year retired, fans and experts altogether expected the team to start rebuilding and come back strong in a couple of seasons. Instead, they’ve been buying a  couple of players, starting with ACL Tear and Season 68 Aidan Shaw Trophy winner Finn Davison, despite Season 68 probable Aidan Shaw Trophy winner Kallis Kriketers still being under contract with the team for another season. The trend continues as the Reign recently acquired Aston Martin from the Helsinki Titans, along with a 3rd round pick, in return for a 1st round pick in this season’s draft, which the Titans used the pick to add Kyle Andersen to their prospect pool, who has the potential to be a first-pair defenseman for them in the future. This gives the Titans an additional weapon for when their cup window opens up again in a couple of seasons.

Aston Martin

Once promised to a brilliant future, Aston Martin has since then stopped developping and is probably more suited for a depth role than for a first-line role. The former 1st round selection has travelled around the league quite a lot, as the Reign will be its fourth season in as many seasons. He's coming off a breakout campaign that should have him in the discussions for the Dustin Funk Trophy, scoring 34 goals and 73 points, both over twice as much as his previous career bests. However, these numbers might simply be a testament to the high quality of Martin’s linemates - Julian Borwinn and Kronos Bailey - and it would be surprising to see him replicate such a high scoring level in Riga unless he’s lined up with equally good players.
