Theo's Draft & Trade Theo Matsikas At the VHL Draft The season 43 VHL entry draft has come and gone, and Theo Matsikas is now a member of the Helsinki Titians. Coming into the draft Theo had no idea where he would go, he was contacted by a couple of teams, but nothing firm came out of his talks. In Theo's mind he was going to be a second round pick at highest, so getting picked in the first round was quite surprising for him! Theo will not play for the titans this season, but he will also not play his team from last season, Oslo. A couple days after the draft, Oslo traded Matsikas to Ottawa. This trade was also a surprise to Matsikas, as Oslo brought in a new GM, and cleared house for the most part. We were lucky enough to catch up Theo and ask him a couple of questions. Hello Theo, thanks for joining us today. No problem, I am glad to be here! All right well let’s get right into it. What are your first thoughts on the draft? Well honestly I had no idea where I would go in the draft due to my dedication to the league, and hockey. I think a couple of past interviews scared off a couple of GMs from drafting me. With this being said, I am feeling great, and not to toot my own horn, I think the Titans are going to be very proud selecting me! The only real disappointment for me from the draft is another prospect, Micheal Clardy. The fact that he went before me is something, but the guy is a second round pick, and was tooting his own horn saying he was going to go first overall. Like come on bud. Interesting you say that about Clardy, it should be interesting seeing you two battle it out on the ice. Onto the next question, how do you feel about the trade? Well it’s hard to really talk about it this soon after the trade. Oslo was great for me, the team had a great group of members and we played really well on the ice. The season went great, and not to mention the playoffs! We really bonded as a team; so getting traded away from those guys is a little weird. At the same time though, a lot of top players left Oslo and the new GM asked me if id like to stay, or go play on a team that had a better chance of winning. Ultimately he wanted the best for me, and traded me to a team that has a better chance of winning this season. So with that being said, I am happy to be here, and I am ready to win some games with the Lynk! That’s all we have with Theo, but stay tune for our next interview with Theo!

Hmm interesting.

Fk, so close.

Theo's Season & Draft Stock The season has to come to an end, and it is safe to say that it was an interesting one for Theo Matsikas. Theo took the league by storm when he first got drafted, and showed all the attributes of a top draft pick. As the season went on, Theo’s dedication and will died. His development slowed, and scouts lost interest in him. When Oslo received a first round buy, which seemed to motivate Theo again! Theo’s training was back at the level we once saw, and his game on the ice was better then ever! The Oslo Storm and Theo swept their first round of playoffs. But the playoffs against Brampton seemed to be a task to tough. Brampton came out winning the first game, and Oslo the second game, but after that it was all Brampton. Brampton would win the next three to take the series in five games. Three out of Brampton four wins were a one-goal game, so it could have easily gone either way. Not only did Oslo have a great season, but Theo did on paper as well. Theo was fifth in team scoring, with 116 points! Although being fifth in points, he was second on the team in plus minus, and second in minute’s player! When we compare Theo to the rest of the league he also stacked up well, which feature him in the top categories for six different stats! Theo had the six most assists! He was sixth in defenseman scoring! Second in plus minus! Eighth in shots blocked! Tenth in power play goals! Second in minutes played! Its safe to say that Theo’ season was an eventful for one, not only a rookie! Theo now has his mind set on the VHL draft. Theo has been steadily projected at 13th overall from two different sources of draft rankings. There has been rumbling that Theo could go early then 13th, with some other prospects dropping out of the top ten. A lot of scouts have Theo as being a boom or bust pick. When Theo is on his game, and dedicated to developing, its hard to find a better prospect with his work ethic. Sure he may be behind other prospects in terms of total development, there is no doubt that Theo could catch up to them. On the other side of things, Theo could be a bust getting drafted so early. Theo did lose interest in chasing the puck in the middle of the season like mentioned before. If this happens to be a reoccurring theme of Theo’s career it would defiantly make him a bust! GM’s have noticed both sides of Theo’s game and it will be interesting to see where he goes come draft day!

Glad to be here ! I wish Oslo all the best, D_A is a great guy !

Hey Clards,

Goody and Matsikas >

I do it for you Phil .
