The Whalers would like to announce they have moved the third leading scorer in the Phl last year in order to try and shore up their defense for future as well as the present. We wish to thank Stanislav Chistov for his valiant efforts in getting us to the playoffs and helping us put a beating on those lowly "Booins". We hope that Stanislav can help out the Blue Jackets this year the way he has for us.
The Whalers now would like to welcome Aaron Johnson and P.K. Subban to the organization. Mr. Johnson immediately becomes one of our top 3 D-men, shoring us up for this year and the future. P.K. Subban has such a great upside that the Saints are beside themselves in being able to welcome him. The organization has immediately named Mr. Subban the captain of the Spruce Grove Saints and are really looking forward to an exciting season.
Mr. Gagne did try to move a few other players but realized that he may be affecting the chemistry a little too much and has put a halt on all deals, that is except the last one which sees Maxim Afinogenov moving to the perrenial PHL cup champions, the Maple Leafs. Sending Afinogenov moving back to the Leafs allows the Whalers to move towards the youth the have been so desperate in getting. Coming to the Whalers is Colton Scevior who becomes one of three starting RW's that is 18 yrs old joining Niklas Siren and Patrick Cehlin. The organization is completely excited in how the future is looking.
The youth movement this year also sees Juuson Rajala making the big club and Juha Metsola starting in net for the Saints. Luca Sbisa and P.K. Subban add to the youth movement for the Club. B.J. Crombeen has also been added to the farm to hopefully add some scoring punch to the farm.
Some notable additions to the Whalers are Jeff Halpern (who should add some PK strength) Tuukka Rask (an excellent back up for Miller) and Danny Richmond (who will add some defensive depth). All in all the ticket paying public are somewhat in awe of the moves GM Gagne has done but are treating them with eager anticipation. The majority of the public is just happy Mr. Gagne has not moved the beloved captain, Marek Svatos. We all know Svatos was looking to be moved but Mr. Gagne just couldn't find a deal that worked for the Whalers.
Stay tuned for what is sure to be another exciting season in Whaler country.
