Every time we do the the annual VHLSC Mock draft, we feel like Oprah giving away a car! In a sense, the mock draft is the only thing some General Managers do in regards to scouting *ahem Quebec*. Now we will be the first to admit that not every draft picks requires an insane amount of scouting because what you see is what you get. However, doing a bit of research and maybe some contact with the draftees themselves is a huge step in keeping them hooked on the league. So whether you think it helps or not, it does keep a member intrigued if he is on the fence about staying or not. One of the reasons VHLSC came about is because while I was a General Manager I decided to do my due diligence and approach draftees who I was interested in at the draft. I wanted to build a rapport before the draft had taken place and because of that I had some second rounders (even third rounders) stay with the franchise and become depth players. The draft can be a whole lot more rewarding as a General Manager if he makes it a whole lot more rewarding for a player. With that I leave you this season and on to the next season, but first here is the Mock Draft for the Season 50 VHL Entry Draft!
