Calgary Wranglers GM: Austin Gow
Toronto Legion: Mike Molholt @Molholt

 

The Jake Wylde trade was a real robbery if we are being honest here. A 2nd rounder in an era where drafts weren't that deep. The Backenbauer deal doesn't make sense to me as he didn't play very much in the 22 games after the trade.

 

Season 45 Regular Season - 72 GP | 47 W | 21 L | 4 OTL | 98 P | 231 GF | 171 GA

For the 2nd season in a row the Calgary Wranglers finished 2nd in the NA Conference, just 1 point behind 1st. Bismarck Koenig was the big free agent catch in the offseason and he did not disappoint. He scored 53 goals and had 113 points on the season. Cote had a career season as well with 95 points (35 goals). Rami Jakobsson continued to prove he was well worth the bag of chips he was traded for as he scored 40 goals to go with 81 points. Wylde who was acquired for a 2nd round pick led the backend with 56 points in 63 games. Wingate continued to grow into a solid goaltender with back to back 40 win season. His 9.18 save percentage was pretty good too.

 

Season 45 Playoffs - 16 GP | 11 W | 5 L  | 0 OTL

The Calgary Wranglers were to play the then Quebec City Meute in the NA Semi Final. It was an easy series with Calgary winning all 4 games by a combined scored of 16-6. This meant a date in the Conference final against the 1st placed New York Americans. Calgary came out like a house on fire winning 3 games in a row to start the series which brought their playoff winning streak to 7. After losing Game 4 1-0, the Wranglers wrapped up the series with a 4-0 win of their own in Game 5. In the finals, the Wranglers would play the Helsinki Titans. The Wranglers continued their winning ways jumping out to a 2-0 series lead. In game 3, the Wranglers lost 2-1 but bounced back with a 4-3 win in Game 4. It was looking good until...it wasn't. Game 5 saw the Titans win a hard fought 2-1 game. Game 6 was the Titans blowing out Calgary 5-2. The dreaded 3-1 series curse looked like it was going to take another victim. In game 7, the Titans won 4-1. The curse had indeed claimed the Season 45 Calgary Wranglers.

LW - Rami Jakobsson

 

 

Calgary Wranglers GM: Austin Gow

Cologne Express GM: Greg Harbinson @gregreg

 

The Stockholm trade made no sense but it is what it is I guess. Must have been a part 2/2 trade. However, Jakobsson was traded for a bag a chips after being acquired for a bag of chips. Must have been a cap dump unfortunately.

Overall:

Marcus Hurley quietly became one of the top Wrangler in the post Season 20 era. He moves up to 8th all time with 366 points in 360 games. He has been a solid point per game player in his time with Calgary. He is one of 9 players to break 300 points. Rami Jakobsson comes in at 13th with 241 points in 216 games. Not bad at all considering the deal in which he was acquired in. He is one of 19 player to break 200 points in a Wrangler uni. Tyler Cote is at 188 points in 144 games which places him 21st. Jaimie Hill comes in a 34th with 137 points. She is the 13th defenseman to break 100 points. Tim Tebowgow is 36th with 130 points in 144 games. Koenig break 100 points and is 37th in his first season with Calgary. MIcharl Clardy is 43rd in scoring with 85 points. He looks to break 100 career points next season. Jake Wylde in his 3/4 season with Calgary with 56 points. Meanwhile 2nd overall pick, Hyvarinen has 45 points in 144 games. WinGod moves up to 4th in wins with 96. His shutouts are also 4th with 17. 

 

Tyler Cote is moving up the playoff leaderboard with 52 points which places him 4th on the list. One of only 4 players to break 50. Rami is up there with 39, Hurley has 36, Tim Tebowgow has 26 while Hill has 23. Bismarck broke 20 in his outing with Calgary this year. Wylde and Clardy have 17 and 15 respectively. Hyvarinen broke 10 with 11. WinGod stands alone with 23 playoff wins. Basically, he is the best playoff goalie in Wranglers post S20 history.

I am pretty sure Wylde was a sign and trade and i get him at the deadline to save cap space which accounts for the cheap price.

you got him with 63 games left in the season. So sign and trade makes sense.
