Best move of RSL off-season: Kreis extends contract

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And, in the case of last season's team, try not to change very much.

Real Salt Lake took a giant step in assuring they will build upon the successes of 2008 by making their best move of this off-season on Wednesday. On SuperDraft Eve, RSL announced the extension of Jason Kreis' for another three seasons.

“It is imperative that the competitive side of our organization maintain continuity and build off of last season’s success,” said RSL President Bill Manning in a press release issued late Wednesday.

The move is not a surprising one, looking at last season's epic run that saw Salt Lake excel through the playoffs for the first time in history, flying all the way to the Western Conference Final. Kreis made the product on the field respectable, and fun to watch.

Whether you like Kreis' methods or not, you can not deny that he has been the driving force behind the change of this team. We'll see what he comes up with on SuperDraft Day as there are still a few areas that could use some adjusting. But, now that Kreis is secured for a few seasons, that is one less thing RSL will need to worry about.
