"This may be the last time we speak, Janice"...oops sorry got caught up writing my pen pal. This may be the last time we speak this year about our Season 45 crop of prospects though as well! It has been a fun ride this year filled with a buttload of prospects, a lot of movement and some intriguing storylines. We will have to say farewell to your draftees as they become full out pro team prospects. That might be this week, it might be next but one things for sure; this class has been fun to cover. So as always we give you our mock draft before the exit stage left and take their place in VHL rinks.
First off we would like to mention that this week the S44 VHLM Achievement was released and players too advantage of it, picking up a huge chunk of time at the practice facility. This week our biggest earner was Bubba Nuck who had a huge week and even rose by two spots. He wasn't the biggest positive mover though, as Jace Hines climbed three spots to enter first round talks among General Managers. Things to note, Ryan Price rose to #10 on our rankings which means the first round could feature four outstanding goaltenders when all is said and done. Kane Hamilton is alive! He was spotted at practice this past week and even climbed up on our draft board by one spot. You hate reading this though, you want the mock draft!
