   Summary

   For Immediate Release
   CAMELOT KINGS ACQUIRE FORWARD MERLIN EMRYS

   Camelot Kings General Manager Uther Penn announced today that the team has acquired forward Merlin Emrys from the Ealdor Wizards in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2027 AHL Draft. Further terms of the trade were not announced.

   . .

   The rivalry between the Ealdor Wizards and the Camelot Kings has always been a bit, well, heated. Especially for Arthur, Camelot’s golden poster boy, and Merlin, Ealdor’s homegrown hero.

   When Merlin unexpectedly gets traded to the Kings, he and Arthur must learn to set aside everything they thought they knew about one another and work together if they have any hope of making the playoffs this year.

   And if their chemistry on the ice melts over into their personal lives? Well…you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take or get pucked trying.
