This argument was ended a while back so you just carried it on. For the record I have talked to people, so don't just assume I haven't.

Safe to say Teemu didn't go broke

Welcome back everyone! The Season 42 VHL Entry Draft prospects have been busy and the rankings have seen multiple changes. With the league entering the playoffs and currently moving into the second round, some of the draft order has been stapled in. The 35 prospects who are eligible for selection will make up a total of four rounds in which the VHL teams can pick their favourites. For the first time in our rankings we actually have some movement in our top ten prospects. The significance of this actually shows that the first round could surprise more people this season. Of course a couple things are listed below that I hope engage you, intrigue you and question you the reader. Directly below this you will find our Rankings pie chart that shows some more fluctuation in the numbers and percentages held by each position. Also below we get our first look at a "VHL Season 42 Mock Draft" that is comprised of the order in which we know it currently. For the record, the order may change based on trades as well as future playoff eliminations. The back end of the first round was calculated based on who holds the pick and what position they ended the VHL's 41st season at in the standings. This ranking will hold a first round mock draft with a full two round mock draft coming next week. At the VHLSC we personally feel it's exciting to see the movement and positions that chance each week and we hope the prospects are just as eager for the draft. Without further adieu we give you the VHL Rankings TPE chart and full First Round Mock Draft for the 42nd VHL Entry Draft. Mock Draft (1st Round) 1st Overall - Bismarck Koenig [C] The HC Davos Dynamo had the pleasure of winning the S42 VHL Entry Draft Lottery; much to the dismay over the other teams. It's a clear that the Dynamo have two directions they can go. They entire draft the goaltender of the future, or a future 1st line stud with no downfalls. We have a feeling they don't pass on the BPA and acquire the most hyped player in this draft in Bismarck Koenig. Koenig is a great centerman with the ability to succeed at both ends of the ice. His pedigree is great and his work ethic is second to none. 2nd Overall - Callum Sinclair [G] ​Stockholm gets to select second because of the Lottery Draw but they luck out anyways. If the Dynamo do take the BPA in Bismarck Koenig, the Vikings are in line to select their goaltender of the future. Callum Sinclair has the tools to be one of the best out of this draft and has actually increased his value the most out of any prospect. Overtaking Jax Barnstormer in the rankings isn't a surprise, but it is a challenge to Barnstormer to step his game up. Stockholm gets their goaltender and Callum gets a starting gig right away. 3rd Overall - Joseph Roy III [C] Joseph Roy III's stock has been rising and his play has been peaking at the right time to boost his value. Seattle already has their goaltender of the future so it doesn't make sense to select one at the number three spot. However, selecting Roy III gives them another piece up front who can step in and compete for a roster spot. Seattle passes on A.C. Savage as his stock drops in regards to the selection of picks, more on that later. JRIII is a safe pick for the Bears and one that doesn't require a ton of scouting as a two-way centre with the ability to boost a LR atmosphere. (via Toronto) 4th Overall - Jax Barnstormer [G] Helsinki slips into the 4th spot even as a playoff team because of their acquisition of the Toronto Legion 1st round pick. Luckily for them there is a goaltender on the clock and they get the chance to select him. Although not always the constant stock increaser like Callum Sinclair, Jax Barnstormer will be a number one goaltender in the VHL. Helsinki is looking for a stop gap for Kimmo Salo or a possible permanent solution like Barnstormer. What they do in the off-season prior to the draft will influence this pick heavily. (via Calgary) 5th Overall - A.C. Savage [C] Dynamo get to select for their second time in the first five picks, which is a common luxury in this league. They bite at the chance to select A.C. Savage who drops because of concern over his overall drive. Savage was passed and for the reason of he himself saying he won't amount to much at the pro level. Dynamo don't mind grabbing the "glass half empty" prospect and turn him into a solid depth player for the franchise. The pick was acquired from the Wranglers who continue to deal away picks Mike Milbury is running their front office. (via Cologne) 6th Overall - Sam Teibert [C] Stockholm gets to select again after picking up one of their many first round selections (this one from Cologne). After getting their goaltender earlier in the round they decide to get a man that can carry the load down the centre. Sam Teibert is a quality player that may or may not require an extra year in the VHLM. However, he is the best player available and at this stage Stockholm is looking to build their prospect pool with blue chip prospects for the future Continental Cup runs. Sam Teibert fits nicely in their plans even two years down the road and will allow a solid top six forward for the future. 7th Overall - Wolfgang Strauss [LW] Helsinki gets to select again in the first round, this time using their very own first round selection. This time they decide to select a winger who helps out their forward core either now as a depth piece, or in the future as a legit first line winger. We do suspect this pick to possibly be dealt though as the franchise is in the midst of a very solid core. If it isn't flipped, Wolfgang Strauss fits into their plans nicely regardless of their situation. With no relation to Markus Strauss the Hall-of-Famer, this young player has a lot of upside and can score at will. (via Quebec City) 8th Overall - Patrick Demko [D] Patrick Demko is another young defensemen that the Stockholm Vikings can use. If he was select here he would be the first defensemen drafted in this draft. Demko has quietly been making noise with his astounding play in the VHLM. Stockholm would fill a need in all three areas of their building going forward. Getting Demko allows Callum Sinclair (see: Pick #2) another stalwart to find chemistry with and build a relationship alongside each other. (via Riga) 9th Overall - George Patton [C] Stockholm could select anyone here as they have the security of selecting in three straight selections. They decide on George Patton who has been progressing all year long to the point of being a first round talent. Patton has a good two-way game and is another forward that the Stockholm Vikings can use for their rebuild of their core. (via New York) 10th Overall - Prince Gigga-Bijou [RW] Stockholm once again steps up to the podium and this time select a pretty unsurprising selection. Prince Gigga-Bijou is a right winger and the highest rated among S42 draftees. Prince also is friends with the Stockholm management so it should surprise no one that he gets taken here after flying under the radar until this point. With wingers being a rarity in this draft, taking the quality ones when you can is imperative. Now it is your turn! We want your opinion on who you think will end up where. Try to be serious as we will try to have a fun survey type graphic for the next rankings to get user feedback and other cool information. Your Predictions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

WELL FUCK YOU KIT! I think applying for the committee is somewhat silly, thats all I'm saying.

Did I say you? I did say there was 3 people. Never mentioned you. Also I corrected myself and said All-Star committee. The system is flawed, not all the members.

I read all-star committee. I admit both are different, both have horrible systems in place though and I did speak to someone about revising how someone gets into it. You re going to go find it? How long ago was it, because there was a time when I did hate the SHL, but being called a pedophile over there will do that. Even ask Wasty how much that actually kills a persons drive in a league. You are white knighting things here, but the only difference is you have someone to help you back up your claims. So I hate what you and your girl are saying, but I will respect your right to say it and move on. Not worth it in the end of things. Instead you guys could help discussion and open polls and shit. That's not stepping on anyones toes, I think people would be open to that more than Hickey posting this.

Boom this is what the puppy looks like

Some jokes are jokes, some are insults. I know who throws what and acknowledge them. Glad you seem to think for me though I guess, thats a pretty shitty attitude to go by. It was a blast discussing things! Let's all go to the playground.

Yet you bitch and whine all the time over there and here. It's fun to watch. Through all the whining you refuse to notice the common issue is you.

I say things I like and dislike about it as well, but you seem to only read what you want. I can't win here, get the guy or his girlfriend. It's actually quite amusing. Go start a new thread indirectly calling me out over there though, thats always a good time.

Kind of a dead giveaway whiny only post 1 game

I know how to update a player, but where to find everything was a hassle. Not to mention I asked for help and no one had answers. But thanks for the shot at my intelligence, glad its come to that. Why didn't I vote? I did. Once again another false assumption. There are 3 questionable members on the committee and I have brought that up with people in power already. Who is stopping you from making a poll though? One could make the same case about you openly hating the VHL but contributing to it. You seem to have a lot of issues with it but don't seem to raise them often.

Shea Weber will have none of Ovi's shit

Good. I hate you too!

Wrong a "State of the Union" address of some sort is presented every year, you must have ignored it or simply dismissed it. How is me being inactive with my player not allowing me to have an opinion? I lurked the board more than anyone. Just never did anything with my player because it was so confusing on how to improve him. So I disagree there. Until you know the full story, don't just assume. I was talking committee, not awards specifically. I'm on the committee over there and the guys who voted were some of the most bias I have seen on that site. Guys who in the past showed their willingness to vote their friends in over who deserves it. You keep claiming the SHL is better in your posts it seems. Your last point is somewhat silly, projected math is good but if it's already been presented or already implemented ages ago and didn't work, why would we say yes to it? Seems rather ineffective to beat our heads against a wall.

I'm starting a new league with Manship, who's in?

Excuse me?

Probably wasn't that smart putting it on the board when the voting hasn't taken place

Hahaha Jardy is bad, but if you think the SHL's all-star committee, awards committee and Commish's are intelligent, tons of understanding has to go down. The war rages on!

I joined Dec of 2011. So something like season 2 or 3? The reputation system over there just sparks hate though. I find a lot of animosity between people over there because of that actually. Over here you can find a troll easily, rare but when they do its easy to tell. Over there trolls exist in almost any announcement thread.

There's not a big difference though between insulting a person in a thread linking them with the other league and then creating a thread. So for every thread over here that you claim to be "against the VHL", there is an insult on a member over there linking them to the VHL as a bad thing. For example when I started there I was attacked for basically stating how some things could be improved. No one knew who I was except that I had been recruited from the VHL. So sure VHL has a lot of hate towards the SHL, but it's within good reason. Also being called a pedophile by some muppet over there is something that will cause you to never speak of the SHL positively to others.

Pot shots do the same thing, create hate. The SHL is no white dove by any stretch.

Alright, I got more Kramer .gifs ready
