February 9th:
Ikhlas trades: Adam Moftah
Emaan trades: Oweis Chohan
Analysis: Both teams benefit in this deal, Ikhlas gets a speedy forward in Oweis Chohan who is coming off a Fall Season Championship with Sabr and will give them another quick forward in their lineup. Emaan will look to Adam Moftah to provide some size to their smaller lineup.
February 23rd:
Waiver Replacement:
Shukr has been forced to replace Humza Hussain who went down with a knee injury in Week One. Shukr had put forward Amir Multani as the replacement but Ihsan put in a claim for Multani through the waiver system; Shukr chose to take Imdad Ali as compensation. Shukr loses a key defenseman in Hussain who fit well into Coach K's system but get defenseman Ali to fill the hole. Ihsan picks up Multani who struggled terribly in the last Spring Season where he ended with just one assist all season after being his teams top pick.
February 23rd:
Shukr trades: Imdad Ali
Sabr trades: Jaudat Wasty
Analysis: Shukr barely had Imdad Ali on the roster before they flipped him for another defenseman as he is being moved to Sabr for Jaudat Wasty. The trade works out for both teams as they look to solidify their back line. Sabr needed a bigger physical defenseman with some offensive touch to add to their unit and get that in Ali. Shukr was looking for a defenseman familiar with Coach K's system and get that in Wasty who was under the tutelage of Coach K in the Fall Season and will need to replace the minutes that Humza Hussain was providing on D.
March 21st:
Waiver Replacement:
Ikhlas has been forced to replace Oweis Chohan whom they acquired from Emaan at the start of the season due to injury. Ikhlas put forward Waseem Kalair as the replacement but Ihsan put in a claim for Kalair followed by Ikhlas chosing to take Hassan Khalid as compensation. After some discussions between the two teams an agreement was made to trade Khalid back to Ihsan in exchange for Kalair. Good news for Ihsan as Khalid has given them a good presence on defense and good for their chemistry. For Ikhlas they lose speed from Chohan but gain a veteran in Kalair who will be tasked with bringing some experience to this young team that is currently in last.
March 22nd:
Ikhlas trades: Arif Bijabhai and Saqib Sheikh
Emaan trades: Saqib Khokar and Imran Lakhanpal
Analysis: A move is not really a surpise for Ikhlas who are currently in last place with the leagues second worst offense and the worst defense - but their trading partner was a surprise as Emaan made a move despite being in 2nd place and having dominated opponents. In this deal, Ikhlas trades Arif Bijabhai who was drafted first overall but had struggled significantly and had not recorded a point in four games; Saqib Sheikh also goes and while he also had yet to record a point his contributions are more as a defensive center. Ikhlas is hoping that Saqib Khokar and Imran Lakhanpal can provide a spark on offense while helping with overall team defense - neither is a natural defenseman which was the biggest need for Ikhlas but the team needed to shake things up. Emaan currently has the highest scoring offense in the league so picking up Bijabhai is a surprise as he will slot into their second line which gives them some more punch there to support the leagues top line.
April 6th:
Waiver Replacement:
Ihsan has been forced to replace Zaid Mahmood who they have lost for the remainder of the season and will be replaced by Wakaas Khan. Khan will be tasked with trying to revive Ihsan's struggling offense after some terrible production to start the season.
April 7th:
Waiver Replacement:
Sabr has been forced to replace Osama Soliman who they have lost for the remainder of the season with a broken finger. He is being replaced by Shuaib Hussein who has familiarity with a few of the current Sabr players. His new team will be hoping that he can replace the scoring of Soliman right away as Sabr is in a tie for 4th with last place Ihsan just a point behind them.
April 13th:
Waiver Replacement:
Sabr was forced to replace goalie Sadeq Rehman who they have lost for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury (see News and Rumours for details). Sabr nominated Zaid Majoo as the replacement but Ihsan put in a claim. Sabr took Fraz Khan as compensation from Ihsan in a bit of a goalie musical chairs.
