    Ricer back at the helm of Miami! You love to see it! As well as some new folks who have either AGM'd or even GM'd in the off-season. I'm really looking forward to seeing at least one of these GMs win their first ever Cup 👀 Congratulations!

    Well, I've recently been released from the ever-so-warm and gentle clutches of Miami. Bittersweet is how I'd describe it. I enjoyed my time in the VHLM, and I met a bunch of friendly folks along the way. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Starting in Saskatoon and ending up in Miami. Thankfully, I didn't develop a nasty cocaine, meth, or bath salt habit while in Florida. What I did develop was a sense of camaraderie in the league as a whole. I think that's a pivotal aspect of keeping new players interested and engaged. @Ricer13 and @Tetricide have been nothing short of helpful. They exhibit a well-honed "gift of gab" and keep their players involved. I'm undoubtedly looking forward to what the future holds for me and anxious to see where I end up. I still have much to learn and I can only hope that my next GM is as helpful as the ones I've had. I found that this league is a great distraction from my current real-world issues. To paraphrase the great Todd Howard, "It just works.". I'm in and out of the forum all through the day. This is my social media outlet. It's a lot less shallow and self-absorbed than the alternatives. And, at the risk of contradiction, I'm a fairly modest lad. I require very little attention and absolutely ZERO need for validation VIA likes, comments, etcetera. I'm generally pretty quiet, and eccentric in some ways, but I do make a genuine effort to communicate in the locker room. I'll keep building and doing my best to be an asset for whichever squad I end up on.
    Til next time!

    Ricer13 reacted to Gaikoku-hito in VSN Presents: VHL`s Future Watch: Top 10 Rookie Ranking (Final Ranking S92)   
    @Zetterberg
     
    Okay, I have delayed writing this article by a week mainly since I wasn`t rushed to get the stat lines as the season ended, not to mention a bit busy.... yad yada… So, one of the main reasons I also delayed was also to try to figure out how I wanted to present this final ranking and announcement of who I think will win. There is a difference between who I think will win and who will win FYI. Which brought up a few different questions should I be looking only at the stats or should I be putting my own influence into determining the final rankings as some players had great season but would I want them on my team over say another player that had a slightly less statistically strong season? Well, the answer to that is no!! I want the best player for my team for as long as I want so some my own influence will be added to determine the finals rankings for the Top 10 Rookie Ranking as this isn`t who will win the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy but rather who was the top 10 rookies in my opinion. I will also announce who I think wins the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy towards the end of the article so without too much faffing about lets get into the final ranking starting at 10th overall:
     
     
    10th (S89) RW - Carson Walker Jr @Cwalker

    32g – 29a – 61pts
    Finished third in rookie scoring so some might be surprised to see Walker Jr at the bottom of the list well, this is due to my own personal influence as one of the older Rookies this season meant he was more than ready to make the jump compared to his younger counter parts so takes a hit. Add in the fact that he also played for a very bad Wolves team and boosted by getting looks he must likely wouldn`t of had if he was on a different team. I hope he proves me wrong as he has the opportunity to lead a young Vancouver roster next season but I feel he drops back in points after a strong rookie season.
     
     
    9th (S91) G - Red Panda @Lemorse7

    28-30-5  2.98GAA 0.917sav% & 1 SO
    Finding a goaltender that can bring stability to the net is a goal for most franchises in the VHL so when Riga drafted Panda at 8th overall Riga was hoping for a franchise tender. Well, to say this nicely that wasn`t really what they got this season from Panda as Panda finished near the bottom in all stats catagories for a starting goaltender but being fair Panda played for an fairly weak Riga team as Rookie so these numbers should improve in the next few seasons as Riga as a team improves; as it cannot get much worse. Potential has them finishing the season as the 9th best rookie this season.
     
     
    8th (S91) G - Olober Syko @Spartan

    38-22-4.  2.86GAA 0.919sav% & 2 SO
    While Moscow was rather impressive this season finish third in the European Conference this wasn`t down to great goaltending but rather a team effort so while Syko finished with the most wins as rookie at 38 (5th League) his other numbers where very average with his goals against, save percentage and shutouts all ranked around 10th best in the league. Scary to think that Moscow is only going to get stronger as they add even more prospects start next season and Syko will most lieky improve his numbers after a solid first season.
     
     
    7th (S91) D - Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser

    6g – 49a – 55pts
    The former first overall pick would have been most people choice to lead this list or at least top three like I did at the start of the season but as the season progress the pass first, heavy checking defender failed to put up anywhere close to the numbers that most expected from the young rookie defender but when you have 191PIM and actually set a new career high in points in a season; it leads me to beleave most have overrated this prospect value at this point of his career. Will he improve? Yes, of course but his ceiling seems a bit lower than when New York selected him first overall in S91. Janser is a solid pass first hard noised defender that will punish the other teams top forward for years to come. His point tallies my never reach more that high sixties as that isn`t the type of player Janser is.
     
     
    6th (S91) G - Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty

    26-32-6.  3.09GAA 0.925sav% & 5 SO
    Here I am thinking this goaltender should be higher on the list but others might question me if I do move him up as I feel Vidarsson isn`t going to get the respect that he truly deserves based around the fact that his stats look rather mid but that isn`t completely true when you consider Vidarsson has the 6th best save percentage in the league and 4th most shutouts suggesting that it was his team that inflated his goals against and record as Vidarsson played for the horrible Vancouver Wolves this season. Only one goaltender faced more shot this season, Lachlan Summers from HC Davos but comparison Vidarsson had much stronger numbers suggesting that the Vancouver Wolves might have a future award winning; if not HOF goaltender in between the pipes. Not bad from the 3rd goaltender taken during his draft class and not even rated in my top 10 at the start of the season. Like I said I still feel I am doing Vidarsson injustice by not having him higher up the final ranking list considering his current projection.
     
     
    5th (S91) RW - Thor Reingaard @N0HBDY

    24g – 34a – 58pts
    The third highest goal scoring forward in the rookie class with a solid twenty-four goals while playing on a rather mid Warsaw Predators team but showed enough scoring ability to suggest that Warsaw has a bright future with Reingaard in their line-up. Reingaard plus minus was a bit of a concern at a negitive 23 on the season suggesting that the forward needs to learn to play at both ends of the rink and stop flying the zone so much leaning towards offense. Soild rookie that I think more was expected from him and similar to Callum Gary Yannick Janser; might have been slightly overrated at this point of his career as Reingaard has only managed around sixty points through the VHLE and now VHL so will he be able to break through to become the offensive threat most expected of him when he was drafted 2nd overall by Moscow or is this why Moscow gave up on the prospect already?
     
     
    4th (S91) LW - Joshua Schwarzer @Velevra

    26g – 31a – 57pts
    As one of the best players on the Chicago Phoenix this season it was always going to be a tough ask for this rookie to put up strong numbers but that is what Schwarzer did at least halfway through the season before seeing his scoring touch slide slightly as did the teams chance to secure a playoff spot in the end based on past career numbers from the minor leagues suggested that Schwarzer has more to provide Chicago this season but just couldn`t completely figure it out. Schwarzer should be much stronger next season as one of currently three returning players; he will need to be if Chicago is going to make the playoff as their isn`t much help coming from draft picks or prospects. I will be looking for a solid seventy point campain next season from Schwarzer.
     
     
    3rd (S91) D - Leif Reingaard @Zetterberg

    13g – 49a – 62pts
    Great season for this rookie defender and most likely in any other season would seriously be consider for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy but with the other two on the list having superb season means Reingaard might have to be content with just being mentioned when the Award are presented. Reingaard will continue to lead a young and coming Moscow Menace teams and should only improve his numbers next season while becoming a star defender in the league for years to come.
     
     
    2nd (S90) G – 36W @rory

    29-27-6.   2.15GA  0.932Sav%  2SO
    When a team trades for a veteran goaltender before the trade deadline does that mean they have no confindence in the rookie goaltender that is currently the teams start? That would have seemed the case when New York traded for Clueless Wallob but in the end 36W either reclaimed the net or kept the net simply by playing better than the retiring veteran goaltender. In the end I have dropped 36W to second due to the fact that with the introduction of hybrid stats we have seen goaltenders posting above average numbers to say the least. In the end 36W finished the seaosn with fourth best save percentage, eleventh most shutouts and the best goals against but he only faced the 15th most shots against out of all starting goaltenders this season suggesting rather he might have benifited from a stronger than average defensive core infront of him this season; boosting his numbers. Either way 36W will already walk away an award winner as he claimed the Greg Clegane award and should receive a ton of votes for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy and could still win the award as I will tough on later.
     
     
    1st (S91) LW - Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard

    37g – 45a – 82pts
    Twenty sixth overall in scoring by a rookie at the end of the season is rather impress but even more impress is top twenty in goals as Ironhide thirty-seven goals was good enough for fourteenth in the league. Ironhides total points are the highest since S83 when hybrid attrubutes was created in an era of goaltending; which rather surprised me today when he was traded to Moscow Menace as I have Ironhide finishing as the top rookie this season. Not nessarily winning the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy. Ironhide will now join the young and upcoming Menace team, trying to prove this season wasn`t based on riding veteran Daryl Dixon coat-tails.
     
     
    So Who do I think should win the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy?
     
     
    So who actually wins the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy?
     
     
    What do you think? Let me know below who you think should win the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy? And if my prediction of a tie has any merit?

    Well in that case,
     
    There isn’t a ton from anyone that makes one person better than the other in terms of who should deserve GMoty. Moves were at a minimum, waivers are at random, so I do have to look back prior to this season and see who put in the most work to set themselves up for this season.
     
    For me that is @McLovin. Vegas is at the top of the league with a nicely put together roster. They made a few moves along the way to add pieces and are still set up efficiently for the future with an abundance of draft picks and therefor get my vote.
