Trade Post

We'll start off with Jay Kosier. Kosier has been moved to San Fran in return for Rob Felizardo and San Fran's first rounder, which is seventh overall in the upcoming draft. Kosier had this to say: "I've moved to a proven winner, and hope that I fit the role they were looking to fill. Wyatt said he was looking for a 3rd line grinder, but I hope I can add some goals in addition to my grit. I think I've shown in Brisbane that I have the ability to score some goals, and hope that trend continues." And here's some comments from trade-fetish bastard Matt Sherris ;) ""I'm slightly disappointed in the lead-up to this trade, but I am very excited in the return I received. Rob is a great player, and I'm excited to see him play and grow in Brisbane. The first rounder is very important, since I had traded mine away in the Kemp deal. It's sad to see Jay go, as I was hoping for him to be one of our key players moving forward, but sometimes things don't go as planned, and I'm glad I could find a deal that works out for all parties involved." Felizardo has been rerated at an 80, which is up from last year, and Kosier has been rerated at an 80, same as last season. For this season, I believe this is better for Brisbane, but in the long run San Fran will come out on top due to the fact that I believe Jay has a slightly brighter future than Felizardo. Oh and Jay is awesome. And I didn't make that shit up.

Second trade up is the Daniel Svensson deal, Brisbane sent Svensson to Montreal for Josh Bailie, and the 5th overall pick in this year's draft. This is a deal that I believe Montreal came on top. I don't think Sherris got all he could for Danne, although it was fairly well known that he did not want to remain in Brisbane. I wouldn't either that place is a shit hole. "Well it feels great to finally be on a team I know I'm gonna get recognition from. All the behind the scene work I do never makes it to the surface.", said Svensson. Look for an interview with him in the coming days. And I'll end it with more comments from Sherris: "This is another deal that needed to be done, since danne was very excited to play for Ty. Again, a first rounder was a very important addition to me as well as Josh Bailie, who I think will be a very important role player as we try to rebuild our defense."
