how confident are the americans heading into the play offs?
 
if I changed position from w to something else do you think new york would have any interest in my player?
 
thank you for your tips about spending the tpe to make my player balanced. I am trying to follow it.

Thats OK though becasue from what I have seen, half the VHLM is 0 tpe inactives.

First time seeing that banner is slick as frig

Yeah @HFD has some real talent, most of the entries were very well done as well!

Season 54 Draft Profiles
Written by: Frank Chadwick
 
 
Marcus King - Goalie (222 TPE) @Kendrick

King could very well be the most talented player in the draft.
 
Marcus King has all the tools to be a franchise goalie. Lightning fast reflexes and out of this world flexibility. He stands at 6' 4" tall and weighs in at just a hair over 200 pounds. To many scouts King is the complete package. He has size, athleticism, a great work ethic and there are already comparisons to Matt Murray of the Pittsburgh Penguins. King currently ranks number 1 on all scouting services draft boards as the Kendrick agency continues to pump out high TPE earning players. I have no doubts that King will break 1000 TPE with ease. The only question mark around the player is if he will be happy playing for whichever team drafts him. In recent interviews with TSN and RDS his agent Kendrick has stated he is looking to find a franchise where none of his previous players has played. Unfortunately with the influx of goalies this may prove difficult and Kendrick may have to live with being drafted by a team like Riga where he could be the cornerstone @boubabi of that franchise.

Fook Yu - Center (205 TPE) @tfong

Fook Yu gives no fooks.
 
Yu is the most talented forward in the draft bar none. He is also a centermen to boot. Yu is a player for the Fong agency who as produced such gems as the legendary Daisuke Kanou and most recently Biggu Kanyon. The Fong agency has a long track record of producing high end talent. Fook Yu is a fucking giant like think Yao Ming on steroids. Some scouts were consider he wouldn't use his size, that has not been the case thus far in his career as he's been suspended on two occasions for head shots. Aside from his mammoth frame and unwavering mean streak, Yu posses a uncanny two-way game, but his most surprising attribute is his skating for such a big fella. We see Yu as a franchise center in the mold of Joe Thornton but wit ha mean streak and not a giant choke artist in the post season. The draft lottery hasn't been decided yet but we already know he's not going anywhere beyond top 2.

Torstein Ironside - Goalie (190 TPE) @DollarAndADream

Torstein Ironside might give King a run for his money.
 
Torstein Ironside is the 2nd best goalie in this draft according to scouts. But as far as this writer is concerned there isn't much of drop off between King and Ironside. Both the Kendrick and Dollar agencies are strong and we're certain these two will be rivals for many seasons to come. Think of Aidan Shaw and Daisuke Kanou, this is going to be epic. Ironside is your prototypical butterfly style goalie, he has mastered the art form you could say. The two things that seperate Ironside from King are that King is a better skater but Ironside is bigger and handles the puck like a young Marty Turco. Ironside plays a very similar style to that of Vancouver Canucks prospect Thatcher Demko. According to many sources the Toronto Legion will look to select Ironside no matter where they end up picking.

Pretty much every other team, you don't pass up a player with Ironside's character.
 
 
Aleksei Federov - Defense (189 TPE) @Banackock

Aleksei Federov the top rated defenseman in the draft. 
 
Aleksei Federov is the most dynamic player in the draft. Of all the players we believe he has the highest ceiling due to the low number of defenseman that actually pan out in the VHL. He is a pure two-way defenseman with unreal playmaking ability and vision. Federov will be quaterbacking the league's best powerplay unit for seasons to come mark my words. His agency has yet to produce a true franchise player so we expect that this will be Banackock's time to shine. His most likely comparable would be Ivan Provorov of the Philadelphia Flyers. We expect he'll be in the VHL next season but he will need some time to develop. He should be a franchise player at his peak.

Hudson Abbott - Defense (165 TPE) @Scooter

Hudson Abbott is the biggest unknown in the draft. 
 
Hudson Abbott is a mystery. Some believe he comes from a long lost player agency but if you ask him he is his agents very first player. That would be the Scooter agency. Since joining the VHL the Scooter agency has been relentless and tireless working to make sure Abbott is a household name come the Season 54 VHL Draft. Currently Abbott is the second best defenseman available in this draft but if the Scooter agency continues to ride momentum like a wave this could soon change. Though Federov posses better pure talent than Abbott, it can be argued that Abbott posses a higher hockey IQ and his game will transition better to the VHL. Right now Abbott is comparable to Fook Yu as he's an absolute beast, he could probably stand to get a little slimmer so he can improve his foot speed. Hudson has the hardest shot in the draft, it was clocked at 101.7 MPH at the VHLM all-star game.

Claim for Savard

As the season winds down Hudson Abbott is playing some of his best hockey and really separating himself from some of the other draftees. Sitting third in the league in assists at 70 currently. The first generation player is second in defensive scoring at the moment with 98 points and he is closing in on the top spot as that seems to be his goal. Abbott wasn't even in the top ten defensive players in the league at the 20 game mark so his pace since then has been among the best in the league. Having the third best plus/minus in the league should draw some attention from the scouts but on the flip side he might be drawing a little negative looks for his 74 penalty minutes which puts him 9th in the league. Overall it has been a great first season for the young prospect and he is looking to top it off with a championship before heading to the VHL as he will be over 200 TPE by next season and wants to make an immediate impact for whatever team drafts him. It has been a slice so far this season and it will be fun to see where this prospect is drafted. Time to take home a VHLM championship to Ottawa.

If you go over on those attributes, over 85 that is, You need to rework those TPE to fit under the old scale regardless from what I hear. I would pump up Puck handling but that's just me. Looks like you were anyway. lol

With the new scale being used from this offseason, is it a good idea to keep updating my scoring(81) past 85, while it still costs 3 tpe instead of 4? Im kind of struggling to know what to update now that skating and scoring are 80+ so have been addding to PH and a little STR. I prefer to update attributes in blocks instead of 1 or 2 like passing 50 to 51 etc.

@Jericho

I'd pick this one. Looks amazing.

Would have posted this in my retirement thread or something but I guess I never did one. I think this every Koponen sig I ever wore, thanks again to all of you fine graphical minds! 
 
Maybe we should vote for the best one by posting a number between 1 and 10 and give the winner a fat stack of 1 TPE. Accepting entries for the Locke competition until S60!
