Part of Mag so 7 TPE

This week I can highlight a few more players from the previous draft. We currently sit in the off-season and this really doesn't have much going on. So I should be able to talk about the rest of the first round here. With the Finals still going on between the HC Davos Dynamo and the Toronto Legion, the draft seems like it will take place some time next week. So with that there will be at least some more time to talk about the players that you have became accustomed to seeing this past season in the VHL. Some of these players may have played in the minor league system last year but I am quite certain they garnered attention there. So without further ado, let me get started. Coming in at fifth overall in the draft we had Izidors Balders and he was selected by the Helsinki Titans. He was drafted with 132 practice hours logged and he would end up falling short of the 175 threshold to play in the actual VHL. He would spend his time in the VHLM and would go on to play for the Yukon Rush. As one of the top defenders on the Yukon Rush, Izidors would be the teams top scoring defender. He tallied up 73 points on 18 goals and 55 assists. He dished out 146 hits on the season and blocked 99 shots. Current practice hours: 177 At sixth overall we had Elijah Dotran. Elijah was drafted to the Stockholm Vikings. He had 86 practice hours logged at the time of the draft. He would be playing the year out in the minors as well and he would be playing on the Brampton Blades. Dotran was one of the teams top defenders and he was the second leading scoring defense man on the team. He managed to get 63 points from 11 goals and 52 assists. One thing I failed to mention was Elijah started the season with the Oslo Storm before being traded. He spent half a year with them. Current practice hours: 181 Seventh overall would be a third straight defense man in Guntis Petenis. The Seattle Bears would gladly accept this giant to their farm system. The 6'8 Latvian would be playing in the minor and his team for the year would be Ottawa Lynx. When draft night came around he would be sitting at 75 practice hours logged. When the season came around he was ready to show why he was drafted in the first round. 41 points would be his final numbers with 12 as goals and 29 as assists. Current practice hours: 162 Eighth overall was Max von Hohenzollern and he is a part of the well known RomanesEuntDomus player agency. Another Seattle Bear drafted here and he would be serving out his year in the minors along with soon to be fellow teammate Guntis. Unfortunately they wouldn't get to team up just yet as Max went on to play for the Moscow Red Wolves. At the time of the draft he had 73 practice hours logged. On the year he had 59 points and of them he had 30 goals and 29 assists. Current practice hours: 137 Ninth in the draft was yet another defender to add to this list. Maksym Barnyashev would be the pick and he would be in the Helsinki Titans farm system. 84 practice hours logged would be what he was sitting on at draft night. The minors would be where he played for the rest of the year. The Bern Royals would be his team and he would log 113 points with 36 goals and 77 assists. Current practice hours: 143 Last but not least we have Joanna Akerfeldt. This young lady would be the only goalie selected in the first round. The Calgary Wranglers is her eventual team when she makes the jump from the minors to the VHL. On the year she would play for the Ottawa Lynx and she had 41 wins and would sport a .910 save percentage. Current practice hours: 149

You are lying to yourself if you think that is true. There was no attitude until I wanted out.

It worked out once getting us to the Finals, let's do it again. You know you like when you make me 2nd line.

To be in Riga @JardyB10, not Davos. You just left.

I mean who doesn't want to play with Riga? The name is similar to rigger. Think about that closely when choosing. Plus you get to play with my scrub of a player and poke jabs at me about retiring. Or you can just come for a cup or two. That is the plan that is being set in motion. Come join us and help us build a great contender in the European Conference. This team used to be a very competitive team and we are looking to make it back to the Finals. Come join us and be a part of that run and just have fun. Toast is a great GM who I have put my faith in to help lead us on this long and prosperous journey. Let him guide you to the promised land and you will not be let down. You can come by yourself or why not bring a friend or two or three? Cap isn't an issue and we all know that it takes active players to win a cup. So bring your activity, bring your game and suit up in a Riga jersey. Nothing could be sweeter than that. Am I right? Well guess we will have to see. #MakeRigaGreatAgain

Thank you @Gooningitup. I appreciate the trade for me and giving me the best chance at a cup. You are a classy GM and I would play for you again anytime.

Loaded drafts ftw

PLEASE DO @Mr. Hickey

Yeah the extra work is really exhilarating.
