Favorites [D] Shawn Glade Jr. (S70) Ottawa Lynx 38 G | 91 A | 129 P | +22 My top pick to win the MVP award. You can drool all you want over DeYeeto's stats, but when you look at the team he was playing with versus Glade Jr., it's not even close. Shawn Glade Jr. was one of the best defensive defensemen in the league while essentially leading his team in offense. He could potentially have a back injury from carrying the team, but the Lynx won't fess up. It's absurd when you compare his point total to the next highest defenseman on his team. He led by a whopping 82 points. Wait, 82? Yes, that's right. 59 higher than the difference between the top two defenseman on every other team. [D] Danny DeYeeto (S67) Saskatoon Wild 50 G | 95 A | 145 P | +117 I think the most impressive thing about DeYeeto is that he plays defense. Similar to Nikita Kucherov of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, DeYeeto is the best player on the best team. Considering he was surrounded by so much talent, does he deserve to take home the MVP award? He led the greatest team in VHLM history in both goals and points. Regardless of the fact that there were 7 different players with 106 or more points for Saskatoon, his season will go down in the record books, and perhaps he deserves some recognition for it. [RW] Jaxon Walker (S68) Mexico City Kings 66 G | 68 A | 134 P | +54 Walker is almost single-handedly responsible for Mexico City's success. Unlike Saskatoon and Mississauga who had at least 4 players with 100 or more points, Mexico City only had two, one being Walker and the other being defenseman Omdahl. The difference between Saskatoon and Mississauga's top two forwards' point totals are 7 and 10 respectively, which is laughable when you compare it to the Kings' differential of 40 between Walker and the next closest forward. Walker led the league in goals with 66, which is could certainly draw some attention when the selection is finally made. Honorable Mentions [RW] Joakim Sakic (S68) Ottawa Lynx 48 G | 84 A | 132 P | +24 In similar fashion to Walker, Sakic outscored the next highest forward on his team by 41 points. Without taking anything away from him, Sakic is a do it all player that is partially responsible for Glade Jr.'s success, but I just believe that Glade Jr. had the more impressive season between the two teammates simply because he's a defenseman. [RW] Kris Rice (S69) Mississauga Hounds 57 G | 80 A | 137 P | +41 Rice was the best playmaker on the Mississauga Hounds. With a team-high 80 assists, Rice had no problem with setting up anybody and everybody, but seemed to have formed a dominant connection with his linemate Patrik Tallinder. If it were to go to one of the two, I think it would be Rice simply because of the higher point total. [LW] Patrik Tallinder (S69) Mississauga Hounds 63 G | 64 A | 127 P | +36 Tallinder was one of the most elite shooters this season. Racking up 63 goals is nothing to take lightly. He established the top forward duo in the VHLM with Kris Rice, who I have just above Tallinder in the MVP race. While it's unlikely that Tallinder will be selected, he should still be in the conversation considering how great of a season he and Rice shared.

I'm saying that neither the stats or TPE are good enough for a first round pick. Just to clarify, I agree that the +47 is great, but the players surrounding Olsen 100% helped her. Let's not pretend that a player with 70 defense is automatically a stud defenseman that is the sole reason why he/she is +47. I don't want to say it, but that is also a bit ignorant.

Steals #1 3rd round, 32nd overall (OTT) [LW] Iangenere Risteneen (171 TPE) 39 G | 52 A | 91 P | +30 Risteneen has all but quietly become one of the top players in the S70 draft class, moving up the draft rankings on an almost weekly basis. He currently sits at 7th in TPE, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he goes higher than 7th. Despite coming into the VHL scene fairly late, he found himself with the third most points on his team. As well as team-highs with a +30 rating and 6 game-winning goals, while only taking 38 penalty minutes. #2 2nd round, 12th overall (OTT) [D] Shawn Glade Jr. (236 TPE) 38 G | 91 A | 129 P | +22 There was clearly some speculation that Shawn wasn't going to be consistent with earning, which is why he fell so low in the draft. You might look at the still high draft pick and say "how could he possibly be a steal?" Well, the numbers speak for themselves: 5th most points, 4th most assists, 2nd most points by a defenseman, most shots blocked, and 4th most power play goals. He was unarguably the best defenseman in the league and could be the MVP when all is said and done. To give you an idea of how hard he carried his team, he led all defenseman in points with 129, which was 82 higher than the player with the second most. He was no joke in the minors, but the question is if he will be able to earn on a regular basis for whichever teams decides to select him in the upcoming VHL draft. #3 3rd round, 25th overall (PHI) [D] Kyle Andersen (138 TPE) 21 G | 44 A | 65 P | +33 Who? Oh, Kyle Andersen the guy that literally came out of nowhere. He started out with no more than 13 TPE in each of his first four weeks, then bam. 15, 17, 37, and much more to come. These guys in Philly aren't getting the credit they deserve. Andersen, despite being the youngest defenseman on his team, led in goals and points at his position. He had a slow start, but caught fire and might've been burnt alive by now. Going into the playoffs, he could be the key contributor they need to upset the Wild in the second round if they make it that far. #4 & 5 2nd round, 21st overall (LVA-->HFX) [C] Leon Gutzwiler (128 TPE) 34 G | 47 A | 81 P | +31 2nd round 17th overall (HFX) [LW] Gabriel Gutzwiler (119 TPE) 35 G | 38 A | 73 P | +54 Leon and Gabriel were a very subtle duo that didn't always wow you with points, but were very steady contributors in every aspect of the game. Unlike many other teams who had a clear top line and second line, they were much like a 1B in the way that they could shutdown many opposing teams' offenses. Which is quite evident, considering they own a combined +85 rating. Despite not earning the most each week, their numbers were too great to leave them off this list. Busts #1 1st round, 8th overall (MIS) [C] Jimothy Frost (126 TPE) 20 G | 36 A | 56 P | +32 Frost had all the hype in the world going into the S69 draft. He was posting content out the wazoo, then he practically disappeared. Only adding about 16 TPE in a three week span. Although he came back with another 20 in one week, he dropped back down to 7 last week. For some reason he hasn't even claimed practice facility in the past three weeks despite making other claims. For a middle first round pick, Frost has been extremely disappointing considering some of the players that followed. Even though he helped his team to a second place finish in the regular season, he will go down as the biggest bust of this draft. #2 1st round, 11th overall (MIS) [D] Aleksandra Olsen (90 TPE) 5 G | 35 A | 40 P | +47 Surely you can't mess up two first round picks, right? Wrong. Mississauga somehow found themselves with another botched pick in the first round. Perhaps Frost had some potential, but looking back at Olsen's updating history, I don't really see why she went this high. Even though she put up solid numbers during the regular season, it's easy to assume that it was in part due to the fact that she's playing for the second best team in the league. This was certainly a head-scratcher that didn't develop into anything. #3 1st round, 9th overall (HOU-->HFX) [G] Boris Boris (154 TPE) 21 W | 17 L | 2 OTL | 0.891 SV% | 2.87 GAA Boris Boris looked like a guaranteed 200 TPE goaltender at some point in this season, but hasn't quite lived up to expectations. Boris put up decent numbers in the regular season, but I'm sure Houston and Halifax were expecting more growth than one week of 29 or more TPE in his entire career. Especially considering some of the players that went later in the draft, Boris is unfortunately the third worst draft bust. #4 2nd round, 15th overall (MEX) [G] Nicolas Fomba (126 TPE) 39 W | 13 L | 5 OTL | 0.87 SV% | 2.77 GAA Fomba is a classic case of a goaltender whose stats are boosted because of his team. While it's difficult to say that a goalie who has won 39 games is a bust, I bet Mexico was expecting much more from the young goaltender. Fomba has earned consistently, only missing one week since creation, but the total earnings have been a problem. Having only earned 10 points in a single week isn't a promising sign for his future. Unless he decides to step it up, he will remain the fourth worst bust this season. #5 2nd round, 18th overall (YUK) [RW] Teddy Smith (76 TPE) 10 G | 45 A | 55 P | -66 Smith got off to a hot start by earning 36 in the two weeks following creation, but disappeared for nearly a month before claiming again. This was an upsetting pick considering forwards such as Leon Gutzwiler and Iangenere Risteneen were still available. Smith played fairly well on a poor team, but you can attribute that to the vast 24:74 TOI/GP he received. Sadly, for Yukon, Smith couldn't consistently earn, and that lands him as the 5th worst draft bust of S69.

Best forward this season...

Honestly it’s probably the build you have. I am also surprised that you were a minus player, and it doesn’t really make sense considering how well you played defensively. When it’s all said and done, you’ll be a big reason why we win it all, not the reason we lose it all.

It’s that time of the year

1. I'm gonna go with Riga. They've been in a way my favorite team, and I think they've gotten much better as the season has gone on. While Helsinki, Moscow and Malmo are honestly that that far behind, I believe Riga will get it done. 2. Probably Hawaii. The name doesn't have the same ring, but it would be a similar atmosphere. Plus the logo and nickname would still work. 3. It's honestly a great idea. Obviously I enjoy it because of the precious TPE, but it gives the league a chance to give back to players both new and old with the tiered giveaways. 4. Spending time with my family, about fifty of us meet each year at my grandmother's place to eat and open gifts. It's honestly one of the greatest experiences I've ever had and I'm grateful that my family has such long traditions. 5. Honestly I don't deserve anything. I did asked for a mac laptop but I told santa it's optional. My main focus was getting photoshop because the VHL has opened up my eyes to graphic design, and I might want to pursue something with it. 6. Not sure what to say... I posted 500+ messages within 31 days if that is an interesting fact. Don't try this at home.

1. Most goals in one season - 408, 2nd all-time 2. Most assists in one game - 19, 9th & 10th 3. Most assists in one season - 753, 2nd 4. Most points in one season - 1,161, 2nd 5. Most shots in one season - 2,878, 6th 6. Best power play in one season - 30%, 8th 7. Best penalty kill in one season - 89.5%, 4th 8. Most wins in one season - 68(god damn it could've f***ing been 69 in season 69), 1st 9. Least losses in one season - 4, 1st 10. Most team points in one season - 136, 1st 11. Most home wins in one season - 31, tied for 1st 12. Most visitor wins in one season - 32, 1st 13. Most plus-minus by one player in a season - 117 (Danny DeYeeto) & 91 (Edwin THE Encarnacion), tied for 1st & 10th 14. Most penalty minutes in one season - 176 (Danny DeYeeto), 7th 15. Wins by a goalie in one season - 68 (Jacques Lafontaine), 1st Obviously Saskatoon was literally brilliant in every sense of the word, and deserve everything they got. Great work by the Saskatoon GM, AGM, and players. You're the best VHLM team of all time according to the records. Celebrate it while you can before the playoffs, where you have the chance to make even more history.

Odin Omdahl S70 Draft Eligible Defense 6'2", 190 lbs. NHL Comparison: Roman Josi S69 VHLM Statistics 72 GP | 48 G | 68 A | 116 P | +48 Strengths Shot Utilization: Omdahl was the premier defensive sniper in the VHLM this season. He finished with 48 goals, which was second most by a defenseman. As well as owning the highest shooting percentage among all players with 30 or more points- including forwards- with 18.32%. To say the least, he took advantage of every opportunity to take a quality shot. And despite having 44 less shots than the next highest player in the top 10, he remained one of the top scorers in the league. It is his plan to carry his lamp lighting ways to the VHL for whichever team is lucky enough to pick him up in the upcoming draft. "I score goal." - Odin Omdahl Powerplay Wizard: Mexico City showed up in a big way this season by scoring on 29.20% of their power plays, which lands them at 10th on the all-time VHLM power plays list. You could say that Omdahl was a big reason, if not the reason why they were so successful. Out of a total 99 power play goals by the Kings, Omdahl had 28, which amounts to 28% percent of the Kings' goals scored on the power play. It helps that he also added 16 assists for a team-high 45 power play points, which is tied for 5th in the league. Defensively Sound: There should be no questions about whether or not Omdahl can put the puck in the net, but how about his defense? Omdahl wasn't heavily relied upon defensively, as his best features are his offensive and puck handling skills, but he was no pushover in his own end. He quietly blocked 102 shots and surprisingly never missed a game due to injury. Even though he didn't go for many hits, he was able to play a more delicate style where he would quickly close off gaps with his modestly-sized frame. This clearly worked, as he completed the season with the league's 13th-best +48 rating. Weaknesses Teammate Utilization: It was no question that Omdahl could do it all on his own at times, but that isn't necessarily going to work every time when he makes the jump to the VHL. Although it wasn't an overwhelming problem, Omdahl struggled ignored passing to teammates in high threat positions despite being in a generally poor shooting position himself. Granted, he made the most of many of those opportunities, he's going to have to become a little less selfish and a bit more selfless if he is going to fit into a VHL locker room. Aggressiveness: As a stereotypical scoring defenseman, hitting wasn't necessarily part of Omdahl's game. Regardless of the fact that he didn't necessarily need to in the VHLM, he will when he moves up. He has an ample frame to play the body more often while also not taking many hits. If Omdahl doesn't address this issue right away, it isn't the end of the world, as he is still young and has time to grow. Arrogant: It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Omdahl is fairly confident in his ability. Maybe a bit too confident. When he graduated to the VHL, a veteran could likely help him because a better man on and off the ice. This shouldn't diminish his draft stock much, if at all, but it is certainly something general managers across the league will have to look into before selecting him on draft day. Pre-draft Advice Omdahl's strengths heavily outweigh his weaknesses, which he seems to have none in the bigger picture. He has been dominant in all facets of the game so far in his career, and it is just a sign of what is to come. Whoever decides to pick Odin Omdahl on draft day, you're making the right choice.
