Option 2

FINALLY! @Ace has made the right call and rid the team of Rashford.  Once a promising young player, the seasoned veteran can barely tie his own skates let alone lead the team to another championship.  For Mikko, there is relief.  He can now simply ride off into the sunset never to be seen again.  Oh, wait, he was traded, guess he's gotta at least give his new team a season of his efforts.  He'll spend most of his time like he does now, away from the rink and enjoying the disc golf course.  Thats probably one of the main reasons why the GM moved him anyway, if Mikko was a more dedicated player, he simply wouldn't have got to this point in his career where his abilities had so sharply declined from his peak.  Maybe it will be a good learning experience for the Finnish player to be in a new environment
