Pain get 'Wiser' at Deadline

The Michigan Pain aquired Jason Arnott for prospects but then quickly shipped Arnott to the potential playoff oppent the Wheat Kings for all-star forward Bill Guerin. The trade does not come as a surprise; GM Elliot has been known to rent players at the deadline for an improved chance at winning the TFHL Cup. Yzerman in TFHL 13 and Roenick in TFHL 14. Now Guerin, a
former member the Calgary Hurricanes famous cup winning line, the "Three Wise Men.," will help Michigan to their third straight championship. Guerin will bring leadership and a winnig attitude to the Pain. He also will add more scoring power to the already powerful arsenal of the Michigan Pain. Although Guerin is an all-star he will see reduced playing time, most likely
a third line center.

Michigan finds themselves in a unique situation. For the first time near the end of the regular season, the Pain will have a chance to finish first in the league. Coach Wilson has been quoted as saying that this is the best Michigan team to date. "The palyers are developing extremely well. One of the keys is that we have been able to keep our key guys to build chemistry,"coach Wilson commented. The Pain will look to close the season on a high note, and roll intt the playoffs better then ever.
