I decided to hopefully start a weekly debating thread to gain some discussion and possibly link some other hopeful recruits to the thread in hopes that they join our discussion and become acquainted with our board. So this week I figured I'd touch on a subject that ESPN/Yahoo Sports both reported on and that is the Rookie Race. Currently many feel as though Artemi Panarin (Chicago Blackhawks) is the frontrunner for the Calder Trophy in the NHL. However, some have discredited his Calder chances because he played in the KHL, is 24 years old and is competing against 18-22 year old players for the award. (60GP, 22G, 35A, 57P, +7) Do you feel as though Panarin should have marks against him for winning the award because of age, prior pro experience and his opponents ages? Or do you feel as though if the NHL wants to have writers and media knock him down some notches they should re-define their term of "Rookie"? Let us know below:

1. Couldn't find a Jarret Stoll render for Dope Fiend, my apologies 94. 2. Let's not forget that Callum Sinclair could be moved as well.

Like instant crack, give it to an abuser and he'll get more excited than a six year old in a pet store.

Welcome back to the seventh edition of the S48 VHLSC Draft Rankings! This edition packs the annual mock draft into it and adds a little extra analysis on the selections of each teams. It is always the hardest edition to publish because of the unknown draft pick selection rights. However, we tried our best and gave you the best value selection at the end of the first round. Before we get to that we have to go through our weekly roundup of the prospects vying for the top spots! This week Black Velvet blew the entire draft class out of the water (both physically and in the gym). The 90 hours he spent in the gym are actually logged over the course of a few weeks but the logs never were sent to the VHLSC front office. Of course he is the only prospect to overtake another prospect in this week but plenty of prospects did some work. Now onto the part you all have been waiting for, the MOCK DRAFT!

Except they gave up relatively low turnout for a player with high upside. In this case they gave up a player with higher upside for lower upside. Granlund is a career 3rd liner and a World Junior stud. Other names of overhyped World Junior studs: Nino Niederreiter, Jim Waite and Andy Delmore

Phil Rafter, what a plug, can't even get to 900 points, shame to the Hamilton royal family.

The real 1st overall right thur

I will put in a good word with VHLSC for any sig maker for their next VHLSC spotlight. Just saying

Yeah thats some voodoo shit right there

Wait what? That has to be a typo right @Higgins @Daniel that first line?

Good they'll need it!

Sorry yes Brooks. What a stupid claim

If only that was the case eh? Nice try Jim go learn to update.

Hahahaha Lou is crazy. He thinks P.A. Parenteau could be swapped for Eric Gelinas. As if Shero would give up Gelinas, a 24 year old with lots of years in front of him and a solid 2nd pairing/3rd pairing player.

Basically without any sort of help, they wouldn't have done it themselves. Thanks for proving me right.

Because they were forced too. Otherwise they wouldn't have done it themselves, let's be real.

On the right side panel of the front VHL homepage you can see the status updates and there is an empty white box you can write your own in. Also the little blurbs can be VHL Fan article. I write them all the time when I have some things to talk about.
