Ottawa 3:1 Oslo

1) Out of the players brought in through free agency/waivers post-draft (John Madden, Bobby Power, Brick Wahl, Mark Gebauer, Evgeni Komarov, Divaani Sohva, Finn Davison, Jonathon Hill, Kyson Blake), who do you think will go on to have the best career? Well I mean I have so inside information and therefore I am quite confident Mark Gebauer will do at least okay and so far he has had a great start.  2) What are your thoughts on the player management section of the portal? Anything you'd like to see added to it? It handles really nicely I am liking it a lot.  3) Who is the one member in the league who you would like to play on the same team as? That is tough I think its impossible to pick one. 4) If the VHL or VHLM were to ever expand, what cities would you like to see represented? I think it would be great to get some Russian cities into the mix since it is more of a global league anyway so maybe Moscow Maulers? 5) Who do you think will be in the top four picks in the Season 64 Draft Class? Pretty sure it will be Ryan Sullivan since he has quite the great start and also his position is quite sought after. 6) What would you say is the best graphic that you've seen on the VHL? I have to agree with @Quik the banner is quite nice and I like how simple and clean it is.

1) The VHLM Draft has now concluded, which team do you believe had the best draft? That is a hard question I would say we need to see most of the time there are some players that come out of left field or some that turn out to be busts 2) Of the players that were selected, who do you think has the potential to be the biggest surprise? Elias Dahlberg seems like a solid player and he already got an endorsement, but still, there is no big hype around him so I think that should change. 3) With the VHLM rosters starting to take shape heading into the start of the season, who do you think will be the best team this season (You can view the teams HERE) Oslo Storm for sure they are looking scary in my eyes. 4) What are your thoughts on your new General Manager (If you also have a VHL team, you can use this to talk about your VHL GM) So far when I was dealing with him it has been an outstanding experience and I would like to thank him for supporting me so much. 5) How did you find out about the VHL? I started in the EFL and decided to try this too and so far I have been loving it. 6) If there was one thing in particular you would like explaining about how the VHL works, what would it be? I hope I understood everything.

1) What are your thoughts on the league thus far? I had a bit of trouble finding my way into it but I think now that I got my head wrapped around it I will be enjoying it a lot. 2) Which VHLM team would you like to be a part of next season? I would like to play for Ottawa 3) What are the long-term goals for your player? I definitely want to win the Cup and maybe set a record of some sort. 4) Who from the NHL would you compare your VHL player to? Evgeny Kuznetsov I would say. 5) How did you arrive at your choice for your player's name? I decided to represent my German heritage and went with a typical German name. 6) What attribute(s) do you think you will be focusing on first with your player? Scoring, Skating and Puckhandling will be my main focus

Mark Gebauer AGE - 19 Position - Center Number- 12 Height - 6'5'' Weight - 180lbs Hometown- Berlin, Germany Pros: Hands: Mark has shown time and time again over his career that his stick is a natural extension to his arm, he is able to dangle the puck which allows him to get past defenders and create openings in the opposing team's defence. A thing to consider is that this does not only allow him to get past his defender for an open and more dangerous shot but also helps to enable his teammates since he forces the defence to adjust when he beats his man which opens up other players. Speed: Mark can often be seen late at the rink making his rounds and this extra practice has been paying off since he is faster than the majority of other players on his level. His endurance and speed allow him to always lead the charge into the offence but also recover quickly and play a good settled defence. Speed is vital to Marks game as he relies on it combined with his hands to beat his defender and get an open shot. Scoring: Mark has proven to be an able scorer skilled in normal shots as well as deflections he is a force to be reckoned with. Because of his speed and Puckhandling abilities, Mark is often able to create free shots for himself and those he is more than happy to use since he has a very accurate if not so strong shot. He also can get in the face of the opponent's goalie and deflect shots but he prefers to take shots from further out. Cons: Selfish: Passing is not a strength for him so he often prefers to rather keep the puck and beat his defender instead of playing the puck, this is the right decision with his skill set but it can be frustrating for both teammates and coaches to see him holding the puck for a long amount of time trying to outplay his defender instead of passing to an open teammate. If he passes the passes often are lacklustre and not so accurate this makes his assist ability quite poor and he just isn't good at setting up scoring opportunities for other players. Strength: Mark is tall but by no means big he misses the weight and strength other players posses on top of that you should not expect him to stick up for himself or teammates in fights any time soon since he just lacks the power and weight to throw meaningful punches. When getting hit or trying to check another player he also won't be achieving much since he just cants create enough impact or resist it because of his lacking weight and strength. Defence: Mark is a fighter no doubt but you would not know that after watching him play defence. He sometimes seems to be beaten too easily and to be playing with too little physicality, which makes it harder on his teammates to cover their guy and also look out for his. Some people think this is more a mentality problem than actual ability since Mark should be able to at least keep up with his opponent after being beaten but this will be left to be determined.
