Fall 2018 Season

September 2nd:

Pre-Draft Trades:
Haya trades #2 and #19 to Shukr for #6 and #13
Analysis: After last season where the Shukr brain-trust traded down in the draft and ended up missing out on the player they wanted they seem to be taking no chances here and made a push to move up in the draft to make sure they get the player they want.

Post-Draft Trades:
Taqwa trades #118 Ommar Din to Ihsan for #95 Zain Ali

Ikhlas trades #123 Waqas Bajwa to Yaqeen for #119 Farzan Alam


September 19:

Injury Replacement:
Farzan Alam has been forced to withdraw, Ikhlas nominated Brian Beavais as his replacement.  Emaan put in a waiver claim and Ikhlas selected Wasel Kabir from the Emaan roster as compensation.


October 24:

Injury Replacement:
Nadir Hirji has been forced to withdraw for this season due to injury, Ikhlas nominated Madni Danial as his replacement.  Ridha put in a waiver claim and Ikhlas selected Haris Hyder from the Ridha roster as compensation.


October 25:

Trade:
Ikhlas gets Saajid Bhayat and Aamir Hanif
Shukr gets Farrukh Khan and Haris Hyder

An interesting trade for both teams, Shukr upgrades their defense with Farrukh Khan but with the lowest scoring offense in the league perhaps that was not their biggest need.  Ikhlas does well as Bhayat and Hanif give them flexibility as both players are able to play forward as well as defense.


October 26th:

Injury Replacement:
Hany Soliman has been forced to withdraw for this season due to injury, Ikhlas nominated Tahir Maarouf as his replacement.  Maarouf passed through waivers and will join the Ikhlas roster for the rest of the season.


November 1st:

Injury Replacement:
Kashif Taqiuddin has been forced to withdraw for this season due to injury, Shukr nominated Junaid Alvi as his replacement.  Alvi was claimed by Ikhlas with Shukr taking Arif Khan as compensation.


November 1st:

Trade:
Shukr gets Saajid Bhayat and Junaid Alvi
Shukr gets Arif Khan and Atif Mian

Shukr takes back Bhayat who was going to miss games with Ikhlas due to scheduling and gets their initial Waiver Nomination in Alvi.  Shukr gets back Khan and upgrades their forwards with the speedy Mian.

November 1st:

Injury Replacement:

Sufyan Shaikh has been forced to withdraw for this season due to injury, Haya nominated Umair Awan as his replacement.  Awan passed through waivers and will join Haya for the rest of the season.

November 1st:

Injury Replacement:

Ali Malik has been forced to withdraw for this season due to injury, Haya nominated Assad Darr as his replacement.  Darr was claimed by Taqwa who then offered Saqib Khokar as compensation to Haya who accepted.

Spring 2018 Season

January 20th:

Trade #1
- Ihsan gets Draft Pick #6 and #10
- Haya gets Draft Pick #2 and #15
Analysis: Pre-Draft deal where Ihsan felt confident that they could get the player they were targeting at #6 and made this move

Trade #2
- Sabr gets Abdu Sharkawy
- Shukr gets Saleem Malik
Analysis: Shukr seems to be looking to unite the Malik's in this move, although he will be missing the first half of the season he does give them speed and scoring on the wing.  Sharkawy can provide Sabr with depth at center which is always invaluable over the season

Trade #3
- Emaan gets Hany Soliman
- Yaqeen gets Idrees Deen
Analysis: Observers thought the Soliman's made a mistake in the draft passing on their talented brother and thinking he would be available late - they were wrong and had to make this deal.  Both players are talented so no real winner in the sense of someone getting an advantage

Trade #4
- Haya gets Naveed Mohammad
- Shukr gets Zuhair Fancy
Analysis: A shuffling of veteran players here, Mohammad provides Haya with some leadership and a gritty forward while Fancy gives Shukr a physical defenseman

Trade #5
- Emaan gets Fahad Siddiqui
- Ikhlas gets Jaudat Wasty
Analysis: A trade more of filling gaps in the line-up as Wasty gives Ikhlas some flexibility with his ability to play forward and defence and has played with some of their core before so he is a good fit.  Siddiqui gives Emaan a gritty forward to fill in their core


January 23rd:

Ridha gets Abdu Sharkawy, Saajid Bhayat, Farrukh Khan, Shereyar Khan, Ahmad Ibrahim
Ihsan gets Ijaz Chaudhry, Faraaz Alvi, Tayyab Kalair, Idris Kalair, Humza Amin
Analysis: Remember that pre-draft trade Ihsan made?  Well didn't work out since the player they wanted got grabbed before they could pick him at #6 forcing this deal.  Ihsan gets the best player in the deal in Ijaz Chaudhry while Ridha fills out a great deal of depth in their line-up.  It should be noted that Abdu Sharkawy is now on his third team before the season has even started - like bitcoin his value just keeps going up.

February 7th:

Player Replacement: Due to injury, Humza Chaudry of Ihsan will be replaced by Ahmad Chaudhry.  A big loss for Ihsan as they lose a speedy forward who can score replacing him with a solid veteran with a big shot but the speed differential is what hurts
