Hackett Goes to the Trade Block, Meets Everyone Else

[Renomitsu 934]

Trading Block, VHLvania - VHL trading block rumors are vicious and unrelenting, whether for better (the media) or for worse (all of the players). Teams usually have their fair share of hecklers every season unless they've won the most recent championship (and even then, Seattle isn't exempt), and when trade block rumors make their way to the surface it typically comes at the player(s) in questions' expense. After seeing a recent interview with Tate and being told to 'pack everything up' at the end of the European Conference Finals this season, Hackett assumed he'd be shipped off as Riga appears to be headed for a re-tool.

 

"It's tough, you know? You put your best out there and you find yourself not fitting the team's plan at the end of a season, so you're told about the trade block," he remarked at a cozy Reign-specific presser about a week ago. "But I'm confident our sleepy hedgehog boss will do what's best for the team."

 

It's tough to imagine his level of surprise at being placed on the trade block -- but little did we know there exists a constantly-moving villa in the middle of the tiny country of VHLvania literally called "The Trade Block," a location only players are told about. In a leaked video from an unknown VHL player, the place was packed, including Riga veterans Apollo Hackett and Lincoln Tate as previously mentioned - but also virtually the entire North American Conference and most players from the European Conference*. At least half of the rooms surveyed had some sort of rave or club dancing going on, but we also saw at least two rock climbing walls, indoor heated pools, media centers with >100in. screens or projectors, and open kitchens with world-class chefs, to say nothing of the multiple gyms.

 

Some recent retirees like Matt Thompson and Podrick Cast were found with huge entourages in the ritziest spots on campus.

 

What the hell, man? How did nobody know about this before? Is the "trade block" really code for some kind of exclusive players-only destination?

 

*Disclaimer: I have no idea who is actually on the trade block.
