1 – Helsinki Titans
Ryan Kastelic – D – 252 TPE
Last Mock: Ryan Kastelic
 
When I did my last mock, Kastelic was the number two player in TPE, behind Tzuyu by 14 TPE. Two weeks later, Kastelic now leads the league in TPE and is now 12 TPE ahead of Tzuyu. With two donation doubles weeks to spend in the future as well, there’s no reason to believe that Kastelic won’t be quite some way over 300 TPE by the start of Season 63 and in turn become a huge contributor for the rebuilding Titans right off the bat.
 
2 – New York Americans
Julian Borwinn – LW – 225 TPE
Last Mock: Julian Borwinn
 
So in my last mock, the Toronto Legion were occupying this position in the draft and the obvious pick for them was the forward they needed to add good service alongside Aksel McKnight and Jake Davis. Now though the team occupying the number two slot is the New York Americans and, while obviously it’s complete random based on the lottery as to whether they get that pick, we’ll have them here for sake of making things easier to write, and we’ll have Americans take the same player Legion would have. Borwinn has been earning the cap every week and has an additional advantage over McWolf in that he's got two recruits who look very good to make the 200 TPE barrier, which will give him even more TPE.
 
3 – Toronto Legion
Joseph McWolf – D – 213 TPE
Last Mock: Joseph McWolf
 
So as the Legion are set up right now, this doesn’t really make much sense as they already have two very good defensemen in Sebastien Ironside and Robert Malenko. However, there’s a couple of reasons why I believe that this will be the pick made if the draft goes in this manner. 1) You don’t turn down a 12 TPE per week stud like McWolf when he falls to you and 2) I presume with this selection, Ironside will move to forward to solve the team’s problem at that position.
 
4 – Riga Reign
Tzuyu – D – 240 TPE
Last Mock: Tzuyu
 
Since my last mock, the Riga Reign and the Seattle Bears have swapped places in the standings thanks partially to the Bears bringing in Jack Shepherd from the Helsinki Titans. Originally I had Tzuyu going in this position to the Bears and, while I feel like Crosby has the potential to be a better defenseman than Tzuyu in a few seasons time, I feel like the Reign will look at the fact that Tzuyu already has quite a bit more TPE than Dylan Nguyen (the defenseman they selected with the seventh overall selection last season who disappointingly has dropped off his early TPE earning pace) and realise that they’re a situation where, if they want to compete next season, they’re going to need a better defenseman than Nguyen on the first line, something Tzuyu can provide to the Reign from the get-go.
 
5 – Seattle Bears
Sidney Crosby – D – 172 TPE
Last Mock: Sidney Crosby
 
The Bears needs defense, simple as that. The TPE count would suggest Shawinganen, but with Seattle already having Shepherd and Smirnov occupying that position, it’s not one that they need to address immediately and, when their next pick comes around, there will be many more center options to select from than defensemen. Instead, they grab the next best player on the board in Crosby, who will have the TPE to immediately jump into the VHL and help the Bears playoff push.
 
6 – New York Americans (From Davos)
Scott Shawinganen – C – 191 TPE
Last Mock: Scott Shawinganen
 
7 – New York Americans (From Quebec City)
Jose Gonzalez – LW – 166 TPE
Last Mock: Jose Gonzalez
 
The duo that I had picked here in the last mock are still the same ones that I have slated to go here. Scott Shawinganen looks set to skip the VHLM Draft altogether thanks to his quick earning rate and will no doubt be a big contributor on the front line alongside fellow Las Vegas Aces alumni Borwinn and Jose Gonzalez. It looks extremely likely that Gonzalez will also have a potential eight-season career in the pros at his current TPE level and allows New York a front-line that could well be the first-gens answer to the already super-productive Cast-Preencarnacion-Twinger front line of Riga.
 
8 – Calgary Wranglers
Dan Wilinsky – RW – 157 TPE
Last Mock: Dan Wilinsky
 
When I first had Wilinsky slated at number eight, it may have been seen as a bit of a debatable selection given that Wilinsky was among a group of four forwards who were all within one TPE of each other. Since then though, Wilinsky has gone on to affirm the reasons as to why I had him pegged at eighth overall and has gone on to separate from all of them (his nearest competitor of the three he was originally amongst is now 18 TPE behind him). Wilinsky could well have enough TPE to make the VHL right away by right and even if he didn’t, he would likely be brought up anyway by the Wranglers to fill the hole that the retirement of winger Niko Bogdanovic will create.
 
9 – Seattle Bears (From Helsinki)
Anthony Dabarno – C – 156 TPE
Last Mock: Chance Matthews
 
While I mentioned above that the Bears do not necessarily need a center right at this moment, Shepherd only has one more year left in him after this season, so it is a position that the Bears will want to make sure is covered for their playoff pushes after Shepherd leaves the team. It also helps that the best forward on the board is also a center. Dabarno moves up a position in my mock (Funnily enough the first change of the mock so far outside of where team’s have drafted) and might well be able to provide Seattle forward depth for Seattle in S63 before becoming a great 2nd option to Smirnov at center from Season 64 onwards.
 
10 – New York Americans
Nathan MacKinnon – C – 139 TPE
Last Mock: Anthony Dabarno
 
This pick isn’t really a great position for New York to be drafting to address their defenseman need as things stand right now (If Jesse Wilson continues his great earning pace, than he will definitely be an option to consider here down the line), so New York just continue to build what is already a great young forward core by adding Nathan MacKinnon to the fray. MacKinnon has been earning the full capped 12 TPE the last three weeks and shows no sign of slowing down, making him an excellent choice here and potentially a player who could wind up being taken even earlier in this draft.
 
11 – Toronto Legion
Vaydar Odinsson – RW – 126 TPE
Last Mock: Chace Trepanier
 
I originally had Odinsson down for the first pick of the third round, but the last few weeks since then could be titled “The Return of the Tittymaster”, as Odinsson been earning a lot of TPE since the last mock draft, earning at least 10 capped TPE in the last three weeks. As a result he has climbed up six positions in this mock draft and grants the Legion another forward that they need to boost their depth at that position.
 
12 – Riga Reign
Kisshan Shan – RW – 118 TPE
Last Mock: Nikita Flipachyev
 
Not only does this selection signal the first instance of a player who I’d originally not included in my mock draft being selected, but also includes the first instance of a player I selected who has now dropped out of the mock draft altogether. While I had Flipachyev going in here, written in the description was the caveat that this would only be if he returned to the site from his brief absence and got back into earning TPE, but unfortunately his absence has continued and, while if he were to come back he still has a very solid base from which he can build off of, you can’t justify drafting a player in the first three rounds of this draft who hasn’t earned TPE in the last three weeks. If he were to come back though, that could change this draft quite a bit.
 
One other player though whose changed this draft quite a lot is Kisshan Shan, who has earned an incredible 68 TPE in the two weeks since my last mock draft, and will only go on to earn even more given that he still has his 10 TPE mid-season PT bonus to be added next PT week! Shan may not make the VHL right away (but if he does, that’s just an added bonus for the Riga Reign), but he’ll be a very good replacement for the inactive Ivan Morosov and Lavar Ball further down the line.
 
13 – Helsinki Titans (From Seattle)
Alexander Pepper – G – 170 TPE
Last Mock: Nathan MacKinnon
 
With the last mock draft, there was no Titans pick after their first overall one until the third round, but then the Helsinki Titans traded Jack Shepherd to the Bears and acquired both this pick and a third round selection later on in the same draft along with a third rounder in the next draft. Now though, this means that the Titans can go ahead and pick their choice of goalie ahead of the Davos Dynamo, and in this situation, given that Pepper is going to have the much better Achievement Tracker performance, I think they go with the current Vegas goalie.
 
14 – Davos Dynamo
Cole Mertz – G – 168 TPE
Last Mock: Cole Mertz
 
The Dynamo have now traded away their two third round selections they had in their possession, so this is their only pick in the top three rounds, and they make it their long-term solution to their goalie situation in Cole Mertz. While Mertz is obviously well on his way to making the VHL right away where he’d serve as a number 2 to Shawn Brodeur, he actually has the earning capabilities to have a greater TPE count than the rapidly regressing Brodeur once Season 54 arrives, meaning should Davos try to make one last push in Season 64, they’ll have a better goalie to help them get it. If they do decide to rebuild for S64 though, Mertz give the Dynamo a great piece to build up from though and guarantees that once they get back from their next rebuild, they’ll have a championship-level goalie minding the net.
 
15 – Quebec City Meute
Chance Matthews – C – 139 TPE
Last Mock: Jorgon Weyed
 
Matthews has fallen quite a bit in this mock as he’s gone from being the first pick of the second round to the seventh pick in the second round. He’s certainly not doing anything bad, he holds a role on the VHLM mag team and continues to earn a consistent amount of TPE each week, but it’s just that the players around him are earning much more TPE per week, which limits the appeal of taking Matthews as high as he was once slated. If he got back to doing short 5 minute podcasts to boost him up with 3 TPE per week though, his stock may rise back close to where it was.
 
16 – Riga Reign (From Calgary)
Jorgon Weyed – RW – 115 TPE
Last Mock: Mountain Thunderfist
 
Funnily enough in my last mock draft, I had insinuated that I felt like Weyed was going to climb in this mock draft, but he’s actually wound up falling down one spot in part due to not having submitted a PT yet for this week. Given that he’s done plenty of other stuff this week, I imagine he’ll get to it before the deadline closes, but right now I can only judge on what’s in-front of me, and that’s someone who is currently behind other forward talents. If he gets that PT in though, especially if it follows the Mid-Season PT protocol, he goes soaring right back up this draft into an early second rounder.
 
17 – Helsinki Titans
Chace Trepanier – LW – 129 TPE
Last Mock: Vaydar Odinsson
 
18 – Helsinki Titans (From New York)
Mountain Thunderfist – D – 120 TPE
Last Mock: Jessy Thomas
 
Helsinki get two picks straight to kick off the third and I have them taking the highest TPE players available in Trepanier and Thunderfist. Trepanier has fallen down from a mid-second to an early third rounder in this draft in part because of his decision to claim for welfare in a week where 16 TPE was available to players who submitted regular PTs, which in turn has seen him fall quite a way behind players he was once level with. He’s a consistent earner, and he will be a solid producer for the Titans down the line, but they’ll hope he can also return back to the TPE form he showed earlier on in his career.
 
Thunderfist is another very consistent earner and can be relied upon to consistently earn 8 TPE per week and would form a good partnership with Ryan Kastelic on the Titans Defensive line. There’s a chance though that should the next player I have drafted continue his very hot earning rate that he may have a little competition for that place in the draft. Jessy Thomas has unfortunately seemed to have ghosted from a number of leagues he’s in according to someone who knows him and as such is an obvious casualty of this mock draft.
 
19 – Toronto Legion
Jesse Wilson – D – 97 TPE
Last Mock: Alexander Pepper
 
20 – Riga Reign
Rylan Peace – RW – 97 TPE
Last Mock: James Lombardi
 
I’ll do the description for these two together as their stories are as similar as their TPE counts. Both have 97 TPE, both joined late in the process (Wilson had only just created as I was making my first mock draft, Peace hadn’t yet joined) but have shown terrific work rate to already jump into a spot where they could be considered a third-round or higher selection in this draft. If they keep up this earning rate, they will no doubt feature higher in the next mock.
 
21 – Helsinki Titans (From Seattle)
Joey Boucher – RW – 110 TPE
Last Mock: Joey Boucher
 
22 – Helsinki Titans (From Davos)
James Lombardi – D – 100 TPE
Last Mock: King Gow
 
Titans have another double salvo of picks, and with these, they’ll take the last remaining active players over 100 TPE who are still available in this draft. Both are consistent earners, earning around 6-8 capped TPE in any given week with both showing the potential to earn 10 TPE in a week given the time and will be good depth pieces for the Titans organization as they continue their rebuild. King Gow doesn’t feature on this mock, I believe he has some TPE that he hasn’t yet added to his player, but not enough to warrant a top three round selection unfortunately.
 
23 – Quebec City Meute
Toby Fitzgerald – D – 84 TPE
Last Mock: Jerome Mitchell
 
As Colton Rayne and Casey Jones are two of Quebec’s oldest players, the team will be looking to replace them down the line and, while Fitzgerald hasn’t quite yet displayed the top-tier earning capabilities that saw Jones and Rayne become well-known VHL defensemen, he’s a solid consistent earner of TPE that will allow him to provide depth to Quebec’s defense down the line. Which is infinitely better than the original selection I had pegged of Jerome Mitchell who can no longer visit the site after receiving a permanent ban for some really idiotic behaviour.
 
24 – Calgary Wranglers
Tyler Smith – G – 125 TPE
Last Mock: Tyler Smith
 
With the same amount of teams still not really needing a goalie combined with the massive amount of active talent in this draft class, Smith remains at 24. Hopefully the player who is currently the third best goalie in this draft class is able to complete the Mid-Season PT that he claimed to do on Tuesday, because as it stands his earning tally this week has been quite a way off what we’ve seen out of Smith in the previous weeks (The player had been pretty consistently hitting 12 capped TPE, but has not added any TPE this week as of yet). This is especially considering that Rhett Stoffiday has emerged as a hungry talent who would definitely love to have this spot in the draft himself!

Issue II
 
Sorry it's later in the day we been busy

I'm sure you would have done a fine GM. And you're climbing the TPE ladder quick, man. You'll have the free uncapped 10 soon too, so you'll continue to climb!

Man, I can not even believe someone else is writing about me and out of all people, it's damn you. I still remember that interview and honestly, that made me want to prove that I would have been a great GM regardless of not being selected. I didn't even realize how far I've gotten to this point because the TPE just keeps coming in. Thanks a lot for this man, it's much appreciated.

Hey guys, McWolf here delivering this totally unnecessary themed point task. As a VHLM Mag Writer (check us out, Issue II was just released yesterday, we are doing okay, I guess), I could have only claimed the double week and the 4 bonus uncapped TPE, but I think I need to seize this opportunity to talk about one up-and-coming player/member I really like. What's funny is I actually talked about him in this week's VHLM Mag issue in my weekly column where I talk about 3 prospects eligible for the S62 VHL Entry Draft. I try, in this column, to refrain myself from taking the easy way and talk about Tzuyu or Kastelic every week. Instead, I try to give the spotlight to 3 players that might not be seen as future stars, and that might slip in the draft because GMs don't really know them much and there's one player/member I talked about already who I feel like a third of a page isn't enough to say how impressive and underrated he truly is. So, without further ado, here's an in-depth prospect profile about @Kisshan 'the Streak' Shan, the member and the player.
 
As a player
Kisshan Shan is a right winger with natural offensive abilities. His most important assets and what sets him above fellow wingers eligible in the upcoming VHL Entry Draft are his deceptive speed (SK: 70), his deadly shot accuracy (SC: 64), his above average puck control (PH: 55) and his precise set-up passes (PA: 55). He joined the Victory Hockey League Minors through free agency, after missing the S62 Dispersal Draft by a week or two. He decided to sign with the Oslo Storm and has truly been their one silver lining in this rebuilding season. He currently plays top 6 minutes (like, the whole top 6, not 1st or 2nd line, both) and performs well, considering the fact that he is still lacking in some departments, when compared with players he is facing, and considering the lack of help he receives from fellow Storm forwards. After 35 games so far this season, he totals 11 goals, 12 assists and 23 points. Only Shawn Mendes has more TPE than him in that whole forward core and, even though his build is basically only scoring and skating, he doesn't lead Shan by much, only getting 2 more goals and 6 more assists, in 15 more games. Had Shan joined the team on day one and had he started the season with the ratings he has now, he would probably have a shot at leading the team in every scoring statistics.
 
This year, Shan also had the chance of participating in the first World Junior Championship edition since Season 56, as a part of the deadly offensive squad of Team Asia. For the whole tourney, he centered the second line, with Golovoy and Flipachyev on his wings. The round robin was a little rougher for him, as he finished the 8 games with only a goal and an assist. The goal was clutch though, as it was a game-winning goal in a close game versus Team USA. The Russian sniper stepped up big time in the medal round, notching his second goal of the tournament, again against the States, and adding an assist in Team Asia's 5-4 semi-final win. They'll meet with Team Canada, the team to beat in this edition of the WJC but, if everyone can beat them, it's Team Asia. This is coming from a Canadian, role-playing an European that actually got to play for team World: go Asia!
 
As a member
Even more importantly than the build he opted for with his player, or the goals he's scoring both in the minors or in the international stage, I think what really sets Kisshan ahead of other members of this crazy Season 63 Draft Class is his implication in the VHL community. He seizes most capped TPE opportunity he can, averaging 8 every week since he joined the league (thanks Tagger for crunching the numbers down), which places him above the middle of the pack. He also got around doing his Biography and his Rookie Profile on the same week, helping him rise 16 ranks, up to #19 in the latest TPE ranking. But, among all those stats, TPE amounts and everything, the thing that really made me realize what a great guy with great potential to live a good VHL career Kisshan is, was when he applied to be a GM in the WJC. It was sadly a bit too soon in his VHL adventure to give him that role, we were not ready to take a risk on someone we barely to could basically have ghosted the league already, by now. But his interview was among my favourite ones. I can't even say what it was that hit me the most about it, but it did. And seeing how he's still around and pretty active 3 weeks later, I'm sure he wouldn't have disappointed us if we appointed him as General Manager of Team Asia. If this opportunity comes around again, I'm sure he'll apply again and one day, he'll get the job and do it real fine.
 
Career projections
He sadly ranked right outside the top 3 rounds in Tagger's mock draft, but I'm sure he'd figure in those first 24 selections, maybe even in the 2nd round, when the mock draft is updated when the draft will be closing in. When the other VHL members and, most importantly, VHL GMs, realize just how much potential he has. He's been shadowed by other members that joined earlier than him (and there are a lot of them, there are like 100+ prospects eligible for the upcoming draft) and by members are maybe a bit more vocal than him, so he might slip farther than he should in the actual VHL Entry Draft, but I got the feeling that the team that drafts him won't regret that decision. I got the feeling Kisshan will stick around for his whole career and, while he may not go the full 12 capped TPE week in week out for 8 seasons, he will definitely be active enough to force his team to play him top minutes. He seems the enjoy the adventure the league offers him and wants to play a bigger part in it. Get this kid a job, help him reach that 12 capped TPE every week and watch him flourish as a great sniper in the upcoming seasons.

Or hold me responsible for that 1st round bust if you listen to me and I'm wrong. Really, anything is possible and it's hard to tell where we'll all be at the same time next year, but I think Kisshan is a safe sleeper pick in the upcoming draft. Don't give up, man!

@Laflamme Claiming this for next week

Edited the table because I forgot to do ups/downs for the entire week since this is an end of week one. @Kisshan with the big leap of 16!

Well hello everyone  After a couple weeks in the VHLM, I would like to finally come out and speak to all you guys out there on the start of my journey. After finishing high school and realized that I can take my talents to the big leagues, I can finally say I am proud of what I have done so far. I just want to fill in my missing information and say certain things of my current state so far. This is my first EVER public speech, so mind me for the vague and most likely horrible execution as I didn't do too well in English class back in the days either!
 
      Entering the VHLM for the first time was honestly a great ride. With learning and getting familiar with teammates and officials, I think I am getting along with everyone pretty well. After a few games of the season, I had picked up my very first goals and notched up a couple of assists for some of my teammates. On the ice, my main focus is to help my team in the scoring department as I feel we are lacking in that department in this moment of our season. I try to do so by feeding Shawn Mendes who in my opinion is having a great season so far and helps our team in many ways. I am hoping to do more for Oslo and hopefully continue to try to defend our title! Currently, after playing 19 games, my stats read 5 goals and 8 assists leading up to a total of 13 points. This performance puts me 7th on the rookie standings for the VHLM. I believe that coming into the league, my performance is decent but could definitely be much better. Like I said before, I will try my best to better myself and put on a show to progress my career in a successful path.
 
     We are just halfway through the season, so no worries for now because we know we can do better than what we are doing as of now. Our players are only warming up for this season and we will show everyone what we are really made of. Aside from the VHLM, my career in the WJC also took quite a start as well. After getting the call that I have been selected to represent Team Asia in the new WJC, the tears had come straight out of me. I am so happy to play for my team and in all honesty, really think we got a great shot in winning the whole thing. With stars like Kovalev, Kovalchuk, and Crimson, we are definitely looking like strong contenders. I did not really expect to get selected for the team as I am fairly new and young. Although it is an honour to play for Team Asia and I hope to put on a show for us as a team. For club and country! As they always say.
 
    Anyways, hopefully, my career will continue to progress not just for myself but for Oslo as well. The VHL draft is nearing closer and closer and my ranking is only getting better and better. I would like to make my family and friends proud by continuing to progress in this journey. Once again, sorry for the poor speech as this is really my first time and it was very nerve-racking. I hope to speak to you all again another time. But as for now, it's time to get back to the grind!

KIsshan "The Streak" Shan is quickly rising up in this scenes. After receiving his nickname, we can all definitely tell he is quick the speedster. His new performances are catching the eyes of all the scouts out there with his rookie performances for Oslo Storm. With only 19 games played, he has gotten 5 goals and 8 assists resulting in 13 points. There's no stopping this kid as his growth is only getting faster. We would love to see more and more from the kid and hopefully also see him shine for Team Asia. Yes it's true, the boy who entered the VHLM just 2 weeks ago has already been selected to play for Team Asia. I guess nobody expected a new wonder to come out, but I got a good feeling about this one. With the S63 Draft getting closer and closer to us, Kisshan Shan's rankings seem only to be higher by the days. That's all for today, we will catch up on the youngster's career next time!

Nice read. Good job, @Kisshan. Nice to see you getting that sweet TPE already.

Name: Kisshan Shan
Age: 17
Position: RW
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 175 lbs
Right Handed
Birthplace: Russia
Nickname: The Streak
 
 
Overview
 
Kisshan Shan is a brand new rookie who is from the Motherland by which we know of Russia! He only started to practice playing hockey at the age of 13 but surprisingly, he started rocking up the arenas very quickly. Winning countless regional tournaments, MVPs, honour awards, and eventually noticed to be selected to play in the VHLM. After that, it was all a new beginning for the youngster as he continues to grow out to eventually stand out and be seen by VHL scouts. 
 
 
 
Speed: Kisshan is widely known for his insane speed, gliding through everyone as if it's nothing and putting defenders to shame. He uses his quickness to the best of his abilities and tries to lead his team into many scoring opportunities.
 
Scoring & Passing:  Along with his speed, Kisshan knows very well how to set up his teammates and even to notch a couple of his own in which leads to scoring outcomes as well. In every game, you can easily rely on him to put the puck in the net. A team lacking in the ability to score would easily love Kisshan as it is his main focus in a game.
 
As a Person:  Aside from what he can do on the ice, Kisshan is a very loving person in the real world. He is a cheerful person and never negative towards anyone except himself. Only bullies himself up to be a better player. Although you can easily get a good talk out of him whenever you do talk to him. 
 

 
Physicality:  With his height and weight, it is inevitable that the kid's physicality will be very poor. His physique just isn't constructed to be that sort of player, even with that heart of his to play the game this is a downfall for him as a player.
 
Defense: As expected, this Right Winger does struggle immensely on the defensive side of things. He can easily use a lot of work towards the backcheck and needs to learn to keep the puck away from his own net. A hard skill to learn but hopefully,  will soon grow out of this struggle.
 
 
As a player: Now aside from who he is as a person, Kisshan can easily get tensed on the ice. Not necessarily towards anyone but more towards himself. His desire to win drives him to be too perfect. He keeps beating himself up for the smallest and natural errors. It is honestly just a hockey guy's instincts, no matter what positive outcome, he will always find something he can improve on.
 
 
The So-Far Stats
 
GP: 19
 
GOALS: 5   ASSISTS: 8   POINTS: 13
 
Rookie Rankings: 7th
 
Statistically speaking, Kisshan is doing really decently in his first year in the VHLM. He is using his forward abilities as best as he can and is providing his team with the role he offered at the start of his career. If you notice in the rookie standings, the players on the top 10 standings have all played a lot more games than Kisshan has. Most of them have played 34 games and Kisshan is creeping up the rankings as he has already surpassed certain players who have played more than him. If he continues to grow like such, his career may lean towards star performances.
 
A few words from the man himself on the future
 
"I would like to formally announce the current and future state of my career. I would just like to say that it is so far so great. I can guarantee that I am only getting better and will continue to grow. I want to make all the young fans proud and show everyone what I am capable of. The future is still yet to come so everyone just wait patiently as a new star is about to enter the scene!"
 
 
 
                                                                                
 
 
 
 
 

Review: Seems very natural and seems like it would be an actual speech said in a public speaking. Nice job! Can't wait to play alongside you in team Asia!

Jersey swaps until the day I die. The colours made this one easy though.
