TRADE ALERT: NYA/VAN

[Doomsday 4,143]

Analysis

 

With the Season 70 trade deadline rapidly approaching, it looked all but certain that we were headed for another quiet trade deadline. However, with half an hour until the 12 PM EST deadline, the wire suddenly grew red-hot with reports of a trade between the New York Americans and the Vancouver Meute. As the magnitude of the deal became clearer, the league was stunned by the ramifications of the trade. 

 

"Vancouver got robbed," said user ColeMrtz, while another user, solas, called the deal an, "all-time legendary trade." Regardless of your opinion of the transaction, the emotion that gripped the teams following the blockbuster deal was undeniable.

 

"This was a hard trade to make," said a visibly emotional Joel Ylonen, General Manager of the New York Americans. Gripping the podium, he added, "S72 NYA 4th was a staple on our team but sometimes you have to make hockey deals. I wish him the best of luck in Vancouver."

 

But it wasn't all sadness from Ylonen, as he wistfully glanced towards the future. "S72 VAN 4th is great and he will fit in with us."

 

For Vancouver Meute General Manager Keaton Louth, it was also not a fun day at the podium.

 

"Losing S72 VAN 4th is really tough because he has been such a warrior for us," Louth stated. "But we felt that he needed a change of scenery. S72 NYA 4th was an asset that we have had our eyes on for awhile. We are hoping that with the new S72 NYA 4th that it can be the final asset that pushes us over the hump to bring another cup to Vancouver."

 

Will this deal be the move that pushes Vancouver over the edge as they pursue another Continental Cup? Can the sacrifice made by Ylonen help bring a pivotal piece of the puzzle to the Big Apple? I have a feeling this is a trade that we'll be talking about for seasons to come. 

 

Get-to-Know the Players

 

S72 VAN 4th

 

A fourth round pick of the Vancouver Meute in the Season 72 VHL Entry Draft, S72 VAN 4th is taking a short drive down the Information Superhighway to a different area of the North American Conference Portal: New York. All eyes will be on S72 VAN 4th in the big city, so how will this valuable asset shine when the time comes?

 

S72 NYA 4th 

 

Not rumored to be a fan of poutine, it turns out that, despite moving to Vancouver, it's totally OK because draft picks in an STHS league can't actually consume food. But that's just fine, as this seasoned veteran of code will bring street smarts and the toughness of Brooklyn's hardest street warriors to Vancouver's section of the portal.
