Titans and Nighthawks Swap Starters

 

Early Friday morning the Titans and Nighthawks came to terms that would see starting goalies swap hands. Trade talks had kicked off earlier in the week but both clubs could not settle on favorable terms. The deal sent Virgil Ligriv, 14th overall pick in this weekends draft and a 2nd in S74 to Malmo. Helsinki received Michael Johnson, 20th overall pick and a 3rd in S74.

 

 

Malmo appeared to be committing earlier in the week to a retooling after trading away star defender Jerry Garcia to the rebuilding Davos Dynamo. With today's deal they increase their draft strength now and down the road, all while receiving a respectable starting goalie in the swap. Helsinki looked to improve in goal as they move into season two of their rebuild phase and aim to be back in the playoff picture. The trade was Malmo's 5th, and the Titans 2nd of their respective off-seasons. As the off-season continues it remains to be seen what these two clubs may still have in store before the opening of the S72 season. This weekend should draw a clearer picture of all VHL clubs both through the draft and opening of Free Agency. Stay tuned.
