    Bayley reacted to StamkosFan in Finn Davison Biography [2/2]   
    Review: This was a very interesting article, and it’s great to see that your player is from the UK, where in real life, the sport has been really growing and we are getting some guys getting draft in the NHL (Brendan Perlini, Liam Kirk). The moving from place to place storyline is always interesting; as I know personally, switching schools multiple times at a young age is hard. Everyone loves their parents, but him prioritizing his girlfriend is pretty unique. A little hockey focused for a biography, but the team reviews were, again, unique and interesting, so it’s fine by me. Nice job!

    Review:
    I enjoy a good underdog story and this is not just a good underdog story, it is a great one. There are not a lot of players in the League that are from the UK and I find it extremely interesting to go on the journey with them from being a struggling youth to seeing them flourish in the VHLM. I'm Glad that Finn and April are now living it up in Ottawa. It makes sense for a players biography to be this hockey based when you consider that hockey was one of the few joys in this young man's life. The reviews of the VHL teams was my favorite part, honestly I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. If Quebec ends up drafting you it will be Kismet lol.

    Bayley reacted to StamkosFan in Pat Svoboda Signs with the Ottawa Lynx   
    Pat Svoboda signed with the Ottawa Lynx, a mystifying decision to some onlookers, as he reportedly had interest from teams that were higher in the standings. But it has come to light that Svoboda knows the GM of Ottawa from another league, the BESL, and preferred familiarity to joining a top competitor. He also, reportedly, knew one of Ottawa's players from a baseball league known as the PBE. His contract terms were 1 year for 1.5 million, and he will be eligible for the S64 draft. His agent is known as a monster TPE earner in many sim leagues, specifically the SHL, the GOMHL, the NSFL, the PBE, and the SBA.
     
    "I'm very excited to be joining Ottawa! My top priority is not winning, but rather playing a big role on a team that needs me, with people I know. I'm humbled to be given interest by other teams and felt pretty bad saying no, but at the end of the day, I knew I had to pick one. This was the right choice for me and my career," said Pat Svoboda.
     
    Svoboda, a Swedish goal scorer, has already buffed his goal scoring to 59, and sources say that he declared interest in bumping it to 80 as quickly as possible. He is also looking into completely his rookie profile and biography as soon as possible to get a quick 18 TPE. With 15 TPE added in the span of 24 hours, Svoboda will start on Line 2 for the Ottawa Lynx and likely will play on one of the power play units. He also says he wants to play in international hockey tournaments soon, and hopes that Sweden will need him.
     
    "I love my country, and international play is very fun and rewarding, especially if you can beat the big names like USA and Canada. Sweden is always the underdogs, but we're a good team; the world's best defensemen come from here, and you know it's true. I think we're the most underrated team, and I'd love to get a shot to join Team Scandinavia and bring home a gold medal!" said Pat Svoboda. "I'm going to try to prove that I have what it takes to score and be a factor on the ice in Ottawa. I'm going to make my the international federation heads take notice of me."

    Bayley got a reaction from jRuutu in Finn Davison Press Conference   
    I mean, I was looking for the best chance of playing. I was always looking for somewhere to play where I can have a chance to start. No one had an opportunity for me to play really outright. I talked to a couple teams, but I definitely want to play. I feel like I have too much talent to be sitting on the bench wasting it, so I wanted to play. It was tough to find a team that wanted me to play for them to start.  We all have to start somewhere, don't we? Do I want to be a backup? I would not lie to say to you that I want to be on the bench. Of course, I want to start. I think that would be my top goal, I will get to be a starter, I will not stop until I get there.  I would have to say Alexander Pepper. He is a recent draftee that made his way onto a team right away. Honestly, I respect that, and that's what I want from myself. I would say that he is someone I look up to. I know he has a huge future which I want to say about myself as well.  It is getting there. With every exciting prospect and everyone that plays in the big leagues, the better it gets.  Yes, I will be on the UK team. I can promise you that. I am from  there, so to play for my country is my goal. It would honestly be a dream to play for my country.

    Bayley got a reaction from Da Trifecta in Finn Davison comments on start   
    Finn Davison has played 13 games for the Ottawa Lynx this year. He has not played the last set of games after citing rest as a reason. He was someone that always had the issue of endurance which was mentioned in his scouting report, well here it is coming into play. JB Rift has been the starter then. So far, Davison has a 6-7 record with a 2.86 GAA with a save percentage of .889%. We asked Davison about the start of the season, this is what he had to say:
     
     
    Finn Davison will look to go between the pipes for Ottawa's next few games. We have not seen the lineup card, so it is tough to see what will be next for the UK Goaltender. He has his eyes forward towards the VHL draft, but first thing is first, this rookie season. This is a fun one to follow, tune into his story to find out.

    Review: For, I really enjoyed the overall look of this. I wish there was a picture or something at the top, but that is just me being picky and a visual person. You can tell that you know about hockey a bunch by your review (if not, then you damn well fooled me). I enjoyed the bolding as well as your write-ups, Good job!

    So for this week of the Draft Rankings, I'm going to give you guys a little insight on what each team in the VHL is potentially going to be looking for in the coming draft so you have a clearer idea of your potential landing spots once we make it to the draft.
     
     
    Calgary Wranglers
     
    Current VHL Standing: 4th
     
    Picks: CGY 1st, CGY 3rd, CGY 4th
     
    The reigning champions are finding themselves with a lot stiffer competition this season, as they currently sit in fourth place in the standings. They do currently hold their own first, but they did trade that last season in order to grab young depth prospects, so it will be interesting to see if they trade it once again this draft. Out of all the teams in the league, Calgary is the sole team that does not currently have any kind of long-term answer in place for the goalie position, as Stopko will be in his final season at the conclusion of this draft and there are no prospects in the VHLM system for Calgary that are set to replace him. The real question of who Calgary could draft depends on who they can stop going to Free Agency, as Keaton Louth, Evan Lawson and Mats Johnsson don't currently have Season 64 contracts. If they can keep them around, I can see Calgary potentially taking one of the top defensemen in this draft to replace Vihjalmsson as a more cap-friendly and active replacement on the defensive line. If they don't though, that could trigger a rebuild that'd see them open up to taking players at any position. 
     
    New York Americans
     
    Current VHL Standing: 7th
     
    Picks: NYA 1st, TOR 1st, NYA 2nd, QUE 2nd, NYA 3rd, SEA 3rd, NYA 4th
     
    New York had three first round selections in last seasons draft and as of right now, two more first rounders from this draft will be joining them. New York have had a rough schedule to this point of the season, playing the Bears eleven times in sixteen games, but looking at the rosters, it does seem likely that New York will finish as one of the bottom two teams, so should definitely have one of the top three picks in this draft along with a Toronto pick that I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if it was given the fourth spot in the lottery. As for the Americans needs, they don't really need a goalie as Ismond Kingfisher will be locked in at goalie here for the foreseeable future. At forward, they did spend a couple of firsts on Scott Shawinganen and Dan Wilinsky this last draft along with bringing in Roctrion King, but as they don't have any VHLM prospects, they could definitely use some of these picks to fill up their forward lines, although the most likeliest outcome is that one of the picks is used to find the long-term defensive partner to Joseph McWolf. 
     
    Quebec City Meute
     
    Current VHL Standing: 5th
     
    Picks: QUE 1st, CGY 2nd, QUE 3rd, QUE 4th
     
    Quebec are in an interesting place right now. Through seventeen games, they currently have the worst record of all the competing teams and, while it would be fair to point out that a third of their games have been against the league-leading Riga Reign, it's equally as fair to point out that their current record against competing teams does not look particularly promising (2 wins, 8 losses). While they don't hold their own second round selection, they do currently hold a pick in each of the four rounds and while they do have a couple of aging players on the team along with Sergei Komarov retiring, I believe they'll still try to compete providing they can keep Dragomir and Gate, who currently have no S64 contract at this moment. As for needs, goalie isn't a pressing one as they currently have the second highest TPA goalie in the league in Tristan Iseult and, while they could draft a goalie for the future if they believe they'll trade Iseult a few years from now, I don't think they'll use a top selection on a goalie. Given that Quebec's top two defensemen (Colton Rayne and Casey Jones) will be in their final year after this draft, going after a defenseman for the future makes a lot of sense, but they could also use a center as well as, with Komarov retiring, the team only has Rauno Palo at center, who doesn't exactly have a traditional skill-set.
     
    Seattle Bears
     
    Current VHL Standing: 3rd
     
    Picks: SEA 2nd, SEA 4th
     
    It's difficult to project right now how Seattle will do for the remainder of this season given their games to this point of this season. They do have a game in hand on the other top teams in the league and if they were to win that they would climb to the top of the standings, but at the same time over two thirds of their games have been against an actively rebuilding New York franchise and the only other team they've played more than once is the also rebuilding Helsinki Titans. What we can say though is that they have championship aspirations, therefore it will be safe to assume that their picks will be late on in the draft. As far as their roster for the following season, it's a predominantly young roster with many of it's players not even halfway through their careers, but unlike some of the other teams, they don't have any prospects set to come up through the VHLM. At goalie, the Bears have Roger Sterling, a player who, while probably expected to earn more TPE than he currently has, is still very much one of the league's top goalies and, given that he'll only be in his fourth season once Season 64 starts, will not need to be replaced anytime soon. Both of the defense and forward units are strong, but do have players that are close to being on their way out as, by the time this draft concludes, Gabriel McAllister will have already retired and defenseman David Kiaskov will be entering his final season, so there are holes for a young player to fill down the line.
     
    Toronto Legion
     
    Current VHL Standing: 2nd
     
    Picks: HSK 1st, TOR 2nd
     
    Toronto's Season 64 lineup and mission is an enigma wrapped in a mystery tied with a riddle bow. As of right now, the Legion are doing pretty well, although it would be fair to say that on paper, they are the weakest team of those that are competing and, given that the team is predominantly filled with inactives (only three of their skaters have had added any TPE to their player in the last two weeks), that gap looks set to increase. In addition, quite a few of their players are either going to be force-retired or hit very hard by regression and, given the still-not-fully-clarified status of Sebastien Ironside, who knows what the team will look like next season! What we do know though is that they have a very good pick in this draft in Helsinki's first, which I can't see being any later than fourth overall. Whether they actually use that to draft a player is anyone's guess, but they won't be using it or their second rounder on a goalie most likely, given that JB Rift is set to join the team in Season 64 or 65. They really could pick either a forward or a defenseman given the age of the skaters, but given that they have Tzuyu and Lew Bronstein providing active depth on defense, offense will be the greater need, especially if Ironside is no longer on the Legion for S64. 
     
     
    HC Davos Dynamo
     
    Current VHL Standing: 8th
     
    Picks: DAV 1st, SEA 1st, DAV 2nd, DAV 3rd, TOR 3rd
     
    Currently sitting at the bottom of the standings and holding their own first round selection, it seems almost certain that the Dynamo will be selecting a player with one of the first three picks of the draft. As it stands, they can afford to look at the upcoming draft without too much emphasis on positional need, although given that they spent two draft picks on goalies in the Season 63 Draft along with trading for Rhett Stoffiday, another goalie taken in that draft after it had concluded, I doubt that Davos will be looking to spend too many more picks in that area. Currently Davos have two defensemen on the pro roster in Alvaro Jokinen and Jacob Smith along with James Lombardi in the minors (who may make the Davos team next season depending on his activity levels for the rest of the season). Given that Jokinen and Smith are pure welfare earners (neither have gotten over six capped TPE in a week in a while) and the draft is top heavy with defenseman (five of the top eleven prospects being defensemen), it is not out of the realm of possibility that Davos draft a potential star defenseman. Realistically though, it is more likely that they take forwards with the majority of their picks given that they only have two forwards on the pro roster over 200 TPA, and even one of those (Elias Sobeck) looks set to fall below that mark once regression hits next season. 
     
    Helsinki Titans
     
    Current VHL Standing: 6th
     
    Picks: HSK 2nd, HSK 3rd, HSK 4th
     
    Despite being a team that is very much in it's rebuilding phase, Helsinki don't have their own first rounder, having traded it to Toronto in order to take two players with the fourth and thirteenth picks in the very well stacked Season 63 Draft. This means that while the Titans don't have as many picks in this draft to supplement the team with young talent, those who they do draft will be joining a whole host of promising young players after Helsinki picked nine times in the last draft, four of which have already made the VHL and a further four look on course to graduate from the VHLM after this season to make the VHL roster in Season 64. Helsinki doesn't need a goalie right now and likely for the foreseeable future, as Alexander Pepper is one of the most promising young goalies in the game. They only have one defenseman on the pro roster at the minute (Sidney Crosby), but Toby Fitzgerald and Jesse Wilson look certain to join him on the roster for Season 64, although that still leaves a hole for a fourth defenseman in a draft that has a lot of promising talents at that position. As for their forward group, they do have four young forwards in Konstantin Mulligan, Dan Montgomery, Julian Borwinn and Vaydar Odinsson along with Titan Kronos definitely featuring in Season 64 and two more set to potentially feature next year in Joey Boucher and Wlodzimierz Zajaczkowski. So as of right now, not a ton of holes for a young draftee to fill on Helsinki, a pretty interesting feat for such a young team.
     
    Riga Reign
     
    Current VHL Standing: 1st
     
    Picks: RIG 1st, RIG 2nd, RIG 3rd, RIG 4th, TOR 4th, DAV 4th
     
    Currently on top of the standings are the Riga Reign and given that they've had arguably the toughest schedule of any of the competing teams (they've played the other four teams in the playoff chase 13 times, compared to CGY's 8, QUE's 11, SEA's 2 and TOR's 10), right now it would be difficult to imagine a scenario where Riga aren't one of the top contenders for the Victory Cup this season. Because a lot of their talents have come through Free Agency, they've also managed to retain all of their draft picks, meaning that they will either have plenty of selections in the next draft or plenty of items to trade for more veteran talent come S64. Arguably the latter is more likely because, as of right now, there aren't really any holes for another young player to come in and fill. Goalie is occupied by Kallis Kriketers who will be a long term solution in net, they've addressed their defenseman needs by bringing in the veteran Joseph Bassolino (who they will need to resign to an extension next season) and bringing in players like Ryan Kastelic, Shawn Glade and Dylan Nguyen through the draft and, while they do have Jack Shephard in the final year of his career, there are plenty of players with several seasons of their career left to go like Podrick Cast, Edwin Preencarnacion, Leph Twinger, Mikka Pajari and Ryuu Crimson, not to mention they have Kisshan Shan, Rylan Peace and Anthony Dabarno who would all likely be above 200 TPE next season. If I had to say that the Reign needed anything, it would be a pass-first forward (the vast majority of the team's forwards lean heavily towards a scoring skill-set) and perhaps a more physical presence on the ice (Leph Twinger and Paolo Nano are the team's best checkers, but they are only at 70 each. Except for Davos, every other VHL team has a player with better checking than Riga's best).

    I'm all set up with the sim so I'll be handling the games for this, this season. I'll do my best, but it's my first time simming so bare with me people.  Glad to see this come back again though, thought it was a fun feature last season. Hope to see all the younger players tear it up again!

    Game #1 to #40
     
    Commissioners Message
    Hello to those involved within the VHLM (player, GM's, commissioners and such). Your friendly neighbourhood commissioner here! Within the green team, we've been hard at work trying to bring you the best possible experience when it comes to playing in our league, the VHLM. For seasons and as long as I can remember, people never fully enjoyed playing in the VHLM. They couldn't wait to get to the VHL when it really mattered. When you stop to think about it, in almost all cases (even in real life) a majority of players are like this. We want to change that. We want to bring to life the VHLM. Make it an awesome and enjoyable time. Somethings we've brought in our updated or changed rules, cleaning up the VHLM sections and adding in a really strong core of GM's. Another big success was the WJC which is coming to you once again this season. Lately, within the walls of the Banana and Muffins Cafe, I've tossed around some ideas and behold, a weekly media spot for you, the VHLM. Each week well discuss the biggest players, biggest games and even bigger wins. You got a milestone coming up - chances are we'll be posting some of those! Over time, this idea may evolve but until then, we hope you enjoy the first edition of VHLM: Scope. 
     
    Milestone Watch
    The VHLM always needs love too and while the statistics in the big leagues are always important, I think one of the things the league needs to implement is more stats and career stuff for the VHLM. It's the developmental league for the VHL and is the first place all new members from recruitment play. For "Milestone Watch", we'll be taking a look to see who is coming up on their VHLM milestones - whether it be 100 points, 100 assists, 100 goals or whatever it may be - chances are, you could find it here. If we missed you but you want to be mentioned, get at me!  
     
    Rhett Stoffiday - G - @Stoffiday - 14 games away from 100th career VHLM game.  Greg Santos - G - 6 games away from  Trace Trepanier - LW - @ChaceT - Just got his 100th point and only took 85 games! Chance Matthews - C - @DaftRaincloud - 17 points away from 100th career point in the VHLM.  
    Top  3 Games of the Week (GOTW)
    Hello out there, we're on the air - it's hockey night TONIGHT! The last week has come and gone and we've watched one hell of a week of hockey. For us, there's always an apparent game that stands out to us and it's the highest scoring games. For this portion, weekly, we'll be going through the games and finding you what we feel to be the best 3 games of the week. Was it a game where tensions were flying? Where fights were going and the gloves were dropped? Was it a complete blow out game full of offence or a nail biting games where the defensive aspects of it trumped all else? Was it a goalie showdown or a good old, constant action game? Let's take a look!
     
    1. PP happenings (sounds like a brazzers video title) 
    Game LINK

     
    There were some other solid games that easily could have contended with some in our weekly top 3, but I don't think any of them would have contended with this one. For starters, the games final score was 6-1 for the Ottawa Lynx, as they managed to light up the Oslo net and send them into the locker rooms with a very poor message. There was 49 total shots, 7 goals, 44 hits and 13 power play opportunities. Crazy fact about one of those - 10 of the power plays belonged to Ottawa.. which explains the score. 5 power play goals in the game as they went 5/10 on the PP to eventually have the outcome marked at 6-1. Great specials game by Ottawa. Dominant performance and likely a fun one to be in the stands for. 
     
    2. Mertz, Halifax shut down and out 
    Game LINK

     
    Mertz played a solid game here this night and if not for him, may have been fairly different. To me, it looks like hard fought, solid game where the defence kicked in a little bit. Squeezing the win out out 1-0 against the Wild is a pretty solid victory in the books and it's one that clearly could have went either way. While goal scoring is what fans love to see, this one likely was an enjoyable one, especially in the 3rd period winding down. 
     
    3. Stoffiday, Yukon shut down and shut out... wait.. what?
    Game LINK

     
    A goalie showdown, but more so throw down by Rhett Stoffiday. 28 solid saves is clearly the reason Yukon held out to such a strong victory. He very well is on his way to winning goalie of the year for basically every award. There's a great chance that it's going to be him and this game is only a clear reason why. Yukon manages to get 2 goals on 18 shots which is exceptional and unfortunate for the Wild, and their goalie plays a huge game. 
     
     
     
    Top 3 Players of the Week (F, D, G)
     
    Elias Dahlberg - Forward -  @Nykonax (13 GP - 12 G - 9 A - 21 PTS -- +/- -3 - 83 SHOTS - 27 HITS

     
    I know we could argue here that there are some better and when you say this, you're absolutely right. Looking at the statistic page today you could argue that he's in the top 5 for biggest players right now, but for me, he's the biggest player. He hasn't been around as long as the guys he's competing against at the top of that points scoring leaders list, but behold, there's Elias Dahlberg. I'd say for being drafted with the S63 LVA 3rd pick to now being tied for 3rd in league scoring, as a rookie player, who has a good chunk less of TPE as some of them. Simply, good show by him. I went from not paying a whole lot of attention to him to him being the player I love watching the most right now develop through the VHLM. 
     
     
    Gregor Rasputinov - Defense - @Joobles (13 GP 3 G - 15 A - 18 PTS -- +/- -2 - 26 SHOTS - 25 HITS

     
    I think this one was a little easier than the last to pick out. This doesn't mean that the talent is weak in the VHLM right now for defensive talent because that wouldn't be true at all. Taking a quick look, you can notice in the league that a lot of our defenders are doing their jobs at an above average rate and this couldn't make things even better. The issue being for all those guys, is there's one guy possibly doing it a little better. His offensive side to it is a nice little jump above 2nd places 14 points. He's a stand out guy on the ice, clearly on the scores sheets and isn't legging behind in the defensive stats too much or at all mostly. This guy has potential to be a fairly good serviceable two-way defender - if only his effort and dedication to training were there. 
     
     
    Rhett Stofiday - Goalie - @Stoffiday (14 GP - 9 W - 5 L - 0 OTL - 0.915 SV% - 1.85 GAA - 2 SP - 306 SA)

     
    This one was somewhat difficult, but only between two guys. Recognition here for @ColeMrtz21, but Stoffiday slightly edges this one out. Mertz has the more appealing record of W v L when you look at his 10-4 compared to a 9-5, but the rest of the stats tell no lie either and Rhett easily takes those. 1.85 GAA  V 2.63 is the biggest one here, but he also takes the Save % by 4 (0.915 V 0.911). Put those together, with a still great record and an additional shut out and that's why Rhett takes the cake for this week. He's an exciting player to watch too and I'm excited to see how his VHL career unfolds and plays out.

    With the start of the VHLM Season starting to get clearer and clearer, United Kingdom Goaltender, Finn Davison is getting more and more excited to jump on the ice. He has finally had a chance to settle in and mingle with his teammates, but now is go time. We caught up with Finn Davison before his first game, this is what he had to say. 
     
    With the lineup cards not out yet, we have no idea who the starter for Ottawa will be. Everyone thought JB would be the starter, but will the new guy come in and surprise? The time is very soon, so we will see.

    1. I did sign with the Ottawa Lynx. Oslo did make a push to sign me, but I really wanted those starter minutes to improve. It is hard to know what you are doing wrong if you do not step on the ice. I would love to prove all of the other teams wrong, without question. 
    2. I am form the UK, so of course I am drinking beer, a lot of beer. Just do not tell my General Managers, that can be our little secret. 
    3. I mean, I like to be my own guy, but I am a huge fan of Tuukka Rask, but the good Rask. Not the one that chokes all the time, the better version of him. I really like his style of play being aggressive while also being in the butterfly. 
    4. It is working out, I very much love it. My goal is to be the #1 goalie of my draft class, I am on my way to that goal, I will not stop until I am there. 
    5. I do, yes. I did tear my ACL, so that definitely cut into those plans, but I do play. 
     
    Thank you for those! I will answer 2 more next week! Keep them coming.

    As a goaltender, I decided to do a little preview of what my path to the league will be. I thought others may find this interesting to see where they may be falling. I hope everyone enjoys. 
     
     Helsinki Titans 
    Helsinki has (S63) Goaltender Alexander Pepper between the pipes. This guy was picked with the 10th overall pick in the Second Round by the Titans. Pepper currently has 301 TPE and is currently active. This will likely make a goaltender something that the Titans will look away from drafting. They are set between the pipes as Pepper looks to be a fantastic pick and future goaltender for the team. 
     
     Toronto Legion 
    Toronto has 2 goaltenders on their roster currently in Johnny Havenk Carison and Shawn Brodeur. Brodeur is going to be the stop gap while Carison gets ready to man the pipes in Toronto. Currently, Brodeur has 674 TPE, but has not updated since the beginning of September while Carison has 284 TPE and did update this week. This will make the Legion likely not to pick a goaltender unless they have some doubt that Carison will stay active. Being picked with the 3rd overall pick in the S62 Draft, it is very unlikely that Carison will go inactive. I do not see a goaltender being taken here either. 
     
      HC Davos Dynamo 
    The Dynamo only have 1 goaltender currently on their roster, that is S61 Goaltender Arvid Aamo. This guy currently has 189 TPE while not updating in some time. Considering that he is their starter, this team is going to need a goalie. They may be licking their chops with the likes of Brick Wahl or Finn Davison among other goalies that will be in this draft. Is that their first need? We shall see, but this is a real shot to be a team needing a goaltender and needing one pretty fast. 
     
    Quebec City Meute 
    Quebec City has the likes of S60 Goaltender Tristan Iseult in net. They probably will not be looking to make a move for a goaltender. He updated this week as well. When you have a guy such as him, obviously, you do not move on from that. Maybe you could start looking for a future goaltender, but I doubt that this will even be an option for them. Like Helsinki and Toronto, Quebec joins the league of teams not needing a goalie. 
     
     Riga Reign  
    Riga is another team that will likely be happy where they are with their goaltender. People have compared Finn Davison to Kallis Kriketers, the goalie for this team. He was another goaltender that played for Ottawa. This guy has 379 TPE, so obviously they will not be looking to go elsewhere. Yes, I am aware he is the GM, so obviously they will not need a goalie. 
     
     Calgary Wranglers 
    I find the Wranglers in such an interesting spot for a goaltender. They took Matt Aloisi in the S62 Draft but really did not turn out to be anything at all. They currently have a stud goaltender that is in his 7th season, is this time that they'd look for a goalie to come in and be the successor to Norris Stopko? Stopko has been a 2.42 GAA all-time goaltender having one of his worst seasons yet this season. Obviously, he is only 4 games in, but it may be time to look for someone to take over? A guy that is off winning the Aidan Shaw Trophy, it is hard to say anything more about this guy. What shoes that the next goalie will have to fill, it will not be easy. They may look to take a goalie, but I have no idea. 
     
     Seattle Bears 
    Another team that likely will not be taking a goaltender with S61 Goalie, Roger Sterling between the pipes. He has 557 TPE, so obviously nothing imminent for the Bears. They could look for a backup, or someone to come in later, but they have plenty of time to wait for that, Seattle will not go for a goalie, because why would they?
     
     New York Americans 
    New York has a goalie that is the GM of the team, I was going to go into more depth, but why would I? We all know that goalies are not going here.
