    Great draft recap! 

    Good use of variety, especially in the opening sentences, on the player summaries. That makes for an easy read and gives it a professional tone. The .gifs are gravy on top +1 

     

    Edit: I'm glad the VHLM is getting a lot of love in the media spots!

    Thanks for the kind words sir.

    Am I right?

    I mean do we need that hack in G3?

    Only a few short days ago the S57 Dispersal Draft was held and the Yukon Rush had themselves one hell of a draft. Let us meet the new members.

     

    2nd Overall - D - Dragon McDragon - @JardyB10

    The rearguard from Moose Jaw is an impressive specimen at 6'5" and 210 pounds. McDragon could certainly stand to add some muscle to his frame in the future to better handle the rigors of professional hockey. The Yukon management is not complaining though, he boasts some of the best defensive IQ in the draft and his headman pass is already on par with some veteran players in the league. McDragon has already started working on his skating; it is not quite good enough to call average but coaches say he is a quick study and it won't be long until he is a stud.

     

    7th Overall - G - Burger King - @Tyler

    Knowing that you can't win without a good goal tender the Rush made sure to target one early in the draft. King comes in at 6'4", which is a pretty typical size for goalies in today's game. The young net-minder is raw in terms of skill but has sky-high potential and could end up surprising a lot of players who think they are in for an easy game. The tendy from Houston is well rounded but once he gets some professional coaching we could see a drastic change in style.

     

    12th Overall - Otto Axelsson - Dangles13

    The Rush went with another raw player with high upside at 12th and also another position of need. Swedish center Otto Axelsson is unheralded and not particularly skilled at any one thing. He projects as a well-rounded play-making center and at 6'2" he is a big pivot with strength to play a good two-way game. Can the young Swede deliver on his draft position or will join the ranks of so many before him who couldn't handle the pressure of being a professional athlete?

     

    17th Overall - LW - Vincent Oakhart - @Boomcheck

    Keeping up with the pattern of drafting big fellas, the Rush took big sniper Oakhart to complement Axelsson's pass first mentality. The heaviest player Yukon selected projects to be a goal scoring phenom who can skate and crash bodies with aplomb. Less raw than some of the other players drafted he might be leaned on heavily to start the season but if early indications are to be trusted he can handle the load.

     

    22nd Overall - RW - Matthew Clyne - @haffiedq

    The first player less than six feet for the Rush is offensive minded American born Matthew Clyne. The undersized winger can skate and shoot but is also an underrated passer who can dish with the best of them. He might have a hard time adjusting to the pros with his small stature and his reluctance to hit the gym may find him in the coach’s dog house more often than not.

     

    27th Overall - LW - Larry Lobster - @VHLwhat

    Last pick of the Rush is American born Larry Lobster, another big shoot first player.  While he has a cannon for a shot he doesn’t bring too much to the table and scouts have questioned his upside. Hopefully Larry can grow beyond his expectations and prove the doubters wrong.
