We will see what the time will bring for Pohler Beargeron his career.
For Ace as a member I can say he had his ups and downs for created players. But he also did explain to me that it was also always a question for team needs and decisions as Head GM of SHL Teams. In my opinion, it is very well understood to think about the franchise first instead of the own player.
I have known Ace now for a very long time and I am happy to have met him in the past.
