Zetterberg Has Been Beamed Aboard!

As the Dispersion Draft was looming the question remained of who was going to be the first player in franchise history for the Vulcan Mind Melds? GM Victor Khoo was assigned this dubious task today and stepped up to the podium to select Henrik Zetterberg. "It was a tough decision since there are many standouts on the old Defiance. I would be lying if Lecavalier and Kaberle didn't cross my mind but for me the biggest thing was the contract that Zetterberg signed a couple of seasons ago. This way we can get some big time talent at a bargain price."

But what about his history of injuries?

"Sure he's had some injuries in the past, but we're confident that he'll rebound and have a strong season." Khoo added.

Zetterberg was contacted shortly after and told of the news. "Where? Oh... that place. Uh yeah. As long as they pay me, I really don't care where I play."

An obviously enthusiastic Zetterberg added, "Star Trek? Oh yeah, I only started watching Voyager after that 7 of 9 came on. She had great... um... assets."

[UPDATE]

This just in, for the second round, the Vulcan Mind Melds have selected goalie prospect Simon Lajeunesse. Lajeunesse had a successful junior career with the Moncton Wildcats but has yet to develop to his full potential that he was originally billed for. "What can you do?", GM Khoo said of the pick. "At that point all the players we wanted were chosen and just crap was left over. Hopefully he'll develop into a decent backup one day, but we'll see."
