Dermits Land Vladar, Inbreds Get Mantha in Swap

The Noxen Inbreds and Dillsburg Dermits finalized a one-for-one trade on October 6, with goaltender Dan Vladar heading to Dillsburg and winger Anthony Mantha moving to Noxen. Dillsburg sends out Mantha, a scoring forward, and takes back Vladar, a goalie. Noxen gets the skater and gives up the netminder, which means somebody in this league just decided they'd rather have goals than saves, and somebody else decided the exact opposite. Both are confident. Only one can be right. ESPN lists the transaction as processed, so the players are already on their new rosters and the lineup tinkering can begin. No motives or reasoning have been offered by either side. Until they say otherwise, we'll assume both managers believe they fleeced the other. That is, after all, the only acceptable feeling to have after a trade.
