    kareykoala got a reaction from JardyB10 in Hunter Kylian [1/2]   
    Hunter Kylian
    Kyliantown, Iceland
    LW
    Pros:
    1. Offense: Kylian has a knack for being at the right place at the right time, and although he is not the flashiest player on the ice, his consistency sees him leading in points for every team he has played on. Known as a quiet leader, Kylian's play speaks volumes and has often results in him wearing a letter on his chest even though he never says a word.
     
    2. Tenacity: Once he is moving, there is nothing stopping Kylian. He is one of the hardest working players currently in Europe. His play in the offensive zone is what has brought the scouts out to see him, but it is his high energy forecheck is what keeps the scouts coming back. Hard work often pays off as Kylian has broken the SHL record for shorthanded goals in a single year with 32.
     
    3. Potential: At only 19 years old, the sky is the limit for Hunter Kylian. Unlike many young prospects that have raw skill, the floor for Hunter is quite high as he already has VHL ready intangibles. However, the raw offensive talents are far from peaking as Kylian is still adjusting to his body and also adjusting to a more physical game. 
     
    Con's
    1. Independance: Kylian was raised by himself on a remote Icelandic Iceberg that he founded himself. Kylian taught himself how to survive after his family was eaten by polar bears, but because of his lack of socialization, Kylian often is seen as a lone wolf. If you aren't used to Hunter's temperament, you would assume that he didn't like you, however, after spending time with him it is easy to see that he is like that with everyone. 
     
    2. Discipline: While he does play hard, Kylian is known to play too hard and take stupid penalties. Because of his constant stick tapping and poking, Hunter is called for stick infraction regularly. You coul chalk this up to his hunger as an athlete, but if he wants to succeed, he needs to play a more disciplined game.
     
    3. Defense: Hunter is developing into a solid all round player, but his defensive skills are still his worst attribute. He is great at working his body and using his stick to check the puck away, but his IQ in the defensive zone is lacking. Kylian is too willing to get himself out of position in hopes of creating a counter attack scoring opportunity. Because of his ability to score, this aspect of his game hasn't been a major priority of his, but now as he enters the VHL, the level of play is so high that Kylian won't even get a crack at playing if he doesn't develop his defensive IQ.

    Hey team!
     
    Thanks for thinking highly of me enough to acquire me from Helsinki Thank you for not flaming me because my lack of activity Unfortunately, it pains me to inform you that I probably will not be active for the foreseeable future. My game plan coming into the summer was to be a dominant player in the VHL and call it quits once the Fall Semester began.

    I was able to make an impact in the league, not so dominant, but I need to call it quits. I have zero time to stay active on the site and really do want to apologize for that. I have other life commitments that are taking precedence and I just don't think VHL is fun for me anymore. I am really content doing visual communications and graphic design for money now!

    I really wish you the best this season. Treat Erikson with patience and care, he is a great young player but I don't see him panning out.

    The Lynx were hyped up all pre-season as the next VHLM power team with nobody in their way of a Founders Cup win.  But from the very beginning, that just has not been true as the Brampton Blades and Saskatoon Wild got off to fast starts and haven't relented.  But just as the Blades and Wild have begun to show signs of being human, the Lynx have absolutely taken off and now find themselves right on the tails of their conference foes.  What has been widely considered a two-team race appears to be adding a new team to the mix.
     
    While the Wild have been relatively average as of late, winning just six of their last eleven games and the Blades simply being less dominant, dropping two of their last eight, the Lynx have finally put it all together and exerted total dominance over their opponents.  They've won each of their last thirteen games by a combined 45 goals, displaying just how strong a team they are.  Much of this success can be attributed to Souren Douffet, who appears to have finally overcome his struggles that plagued the team as he's played well and recorded his first shutout in a 7-0 beatdown of the Oslo Storm.  If Douffet can continue to improve and play well, the Lynx have all the ingredients to make a strong case for the Founders Cup and potentially overcome their early struggles and perhaps grab the top seed in their conference.

    I'll be in. Hopefully I don't end up against Kora in round 2 again haha.

    To account for stuff like that I propose a different system. Ranks aren't really accurate if someone randoms up easy opponents the entire time.

    So, why don't we just put every sig in a given week up in a poll and eliminate like 2 people at a time. So, if we have 16 sigs we put all of them into a poll and say vote for the top 14. Next round we vote for the top 12, etc. New sig every time obviously. That way someone can't ride a wave of easy opponents.

    Maybe I'm just bitter for getting placed against Koradek, I don't know. It seems like a better system than placing people against each other though. If the point is to rank GFX makers they should be ranked against everyone at the same time.
