After six seasons in Vasteras, Dutch forward Willem Janssen has been traded to the Helsinki TItans. Janssen was drafted second overall by the Iron Eagles in Season 34 and had been the team's captain ever since. Only recently has he proven himself to be one of the league's premier offensive talents with three straight seasons with at least 100 points, as well as two consecutive 50-goal seasons. In a time when the Iron Eagles have caught constant criticism, Janssen has been loyal to the franchise. However, with Vasteras looking to enter a rebuild, Janssen was a player that could bring a lot of value on the trade market.

"I was hoping to spend my entire career in Vasteras," said Janssen on the trade, "but I knew they'd would have to rebuild at some point and I didn't want to hold the teamback. I wish Vasteras the best of luck in the future, and I'm confident that they'll be in good hands with the current front office. I think Helsinki is the perfect fit for me and while it hurts to leave, I'm really happy to join the Titans. I've talked with a lot of my teammates and coaches already and I love the atmosphere here. I want to win a cup before the end of my career, and I think Helsinki is one of the best places to do that."
