WRITTEN TASK: Tell me about your favorite trade tree! This can either be in the SHL or in real professional hockey, and does not have to involve your team.

Well I haven't quite been in the league long enough to see any sort of crazy trade tree that involves The Carolina Kraken, but there is one series of trades that I certainly took interest in. The 35th overall pick in the Season 72 Juniors Entry Draft was exchanged a total of four times between The Regina Elk and Carolina. Originally owned by Regina, the pick was moved to Carolina along with 18oa in S71 in exchange for 15oa back to Carolina. Following the S71 draft Carolina would then package the pick along with a Carolina S72 4th in exchange for Alexandros Mograine who would turn out to be an absolute steal as he went 14th overall in the S72 SHL entry draft. Regina really did not want either of those picks they would go onto trade both S72 35oa and the S72 Kraken 4th back in exchange for a number of other picks in S72(at this point I'm sure the budget team was thrilled). The kicker here for this trade tree is that the pick finally moved back to Regina based on a conditional clause on the final trade! Regina Elk receive S72 CAR 3rd / REG 3rd* whichever pick is earlier! So alas at the conclusion of S71 the pick made it's way back to the Elk.
