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
