Name: Vassilios (Vasile) Lamb Position: Right Wing Height: 6’0” Weight: 210 lbs. Age: 21 Handedness: Left Country of Birth: Mississauga Hounds winger Vasile Lamb has been on fire so far this season, recording 17 goals and 19 assists (36 Points) in just 17 games. This has helped the team jump start to a 13-4-0 record, which currently is good for 3rd in the VHLM, and 2nd in the Eastern Conference. Many scouts are proclaiming him as one of the top prospects for the Season 82 VHL Entry Draft, and we have complied the draft reports we have seen into a list of pros and cons regarding the young winger. Pros: -Shot Scouts unanimously agree that Lamb already has an elite-level shot. Whether it's a wrister, slapper, tip, snapper, any type of shot you can imagine, he can do it just as well as any player in the VHL. In the Romanian Elite League III all-star game skills competition, he won the hardest shot (96.3 Mph) and the shooting accuracy (10.43s) events. His shooting style has been compared to the likes of Brendan Telker and Henry Tucker. -Personality Another thing most, if not all scouts can agree on, is Lamb's personality. Although he does have a fairly thick accent and isn't completely fluent in English just yet, VHLM and VHL management teams have been pleasantly surprised by how humble and outgoing Lamb is. He is quick to put his teammates first, praising them as the reason for all his successes. Being from a small, tight-knit community, it makes sense why he is the way he is. Another word thrown around is "born leader". High praise all around. Cons: -Defense Another knock on Lamb has been that he is a very raw prospect in his own zone, meaning that outside of his shot, he still has a ways to go using his talented frame. He describes himself as more of a checking forward, but often is seen missing on hits against opposition rushes, and being caught flat-footed on a turnover. No reason a little coaching can't fix his quirks, but for now, his defensive game needs a bit of work. Obviously, as a winger, defense isn't the first thing he is thinking about, but as someone who is a self-described "200-foot player", it just isn't there yet. -Versatility Vasile really lacks the "swiss army knife" type that most VHL teams are looking for. As previously stated he can shoot with the best, but put into other positions, such as a shootout, penalty kill, or broken plays, he isn't the greatest. No doubt, all this can be improved, but for now, the best thing to do is give him clean passes to get even cleaner looks. If you can do that, this is a non-factor. Projection If Lamb can work on his stick-handling, and overall creativity around the ice, he will easily become a dominant offensive winger in the big leagues. Grades Shooting: A+ Passing: B- Stickhandling: C+ Off-Ice: A- Defense: B- Star Potential: B+ (500-ish words)

1. What do you think about getting your career started with the Hounds? So excited! Mississauga is the closest VHL universe team to my IRL home, so happy to be close. 2. How do you plan to earn TPE this season? Every possible way. This is a speedrun to 700 TPE. 3. How does your player define success? The easy thing to say is championships, but I think if we all play competitive hockey to the best of our ability, and have fun, that's success. 4. Are you happy with your player's performance so far? Absolutely. Vasile has been sniping left and right so far. I owe it all to the team, they've been dishing passes right on my tape. 5. What team are you rooting for in the Olympics? Well, would I really be a Canadian if I said any country but Canada?! Can't wait to see Marchand - Bergeron - Crosby again. 6. Who is your favourite NHL player? Patrice Bergeron. Love the way he plays, a true leader and champion.

DeGroot, going to be drafted by LA, is a low-event defender that doesn't do much of anything.

D - Aurelien Moreau F - Justin Lose @Blazzer back to you!

It is time to officially announce the 2nd captain in franchise history. Although he will not be a long-serving captain, with retirement imminent, this player has been ride or die with the Predators since the moment he was drafted here. With over 200 goals and 450 points in the blue and orange, as well as always being one of the most positive and vocal voices in the locker room, I am proud to announce the new captain of the Warsaw Predators is.... @Crstats23 CHRIS REYNOLDS! Sporting the A's this season are 2 players who make Warsaw a better team on and off the ice, and will be able to assist Chris to lead this awesome group of players... Alternate 1: @qripll BOGDAN TRUNOV Alternate 2: @weekz BRIAN MOREAU 2 players with over 400 games and 300 points combined in the VHL, who both had breakout campaigns in Season 80. They each are super approachable, and overall fantastic members and people to have on a team. Congrats to all 3 of you! CHODŹMY WARSZAWO CHODŹMY

@Phil 12 hours has passed, technically your first of 2 picks has been skipped. Still on the clock for 2 picks.

1. The Hounds went through a rough season last year. Do you think we can reach the playoffs in S81? I definitely think that if we all are on the same page and develop as a team, we have as good of a chance to make it as any. 2. What goals (if any) have you set for your player? Obviously making the hall of fame is always in the back of my mind. But I think for this player, I'd like to repeat what Dakota Lamb did - at least 1 cup, and 1 individual award. 3. Which NHL team is your favourite? The Bruins of Boston. LFG. 4. What is your favourite dish and why is it Pizza? I guess pizza is the easy answer, eh? I can't say no to Pepperoni, Bacon, and BBQ sauce. But I also love sushi, definitely a toss up. 5. Have you set eyes on a VHL/E team you aspire to play for? Unfortunately, pending any unforeseen circumstances, I won't be playing in the E. But Vasile would feel right at home on the Warsaw Predators. 6. Do you have any suggestions what the management can do to make you feel at home within the Hounds? Just post all TPE opportunities, talk about games, things like that. I'm not too fussy.

lmfao josh skipping 2 people @TheNeonShaman is on the clock.

Yep, this right here. I wasn't expecting to have the choice, and honestly, I'm not even sure if I actually do have it, but as much as I want to experience a new league, I can't pass up the extra uncapped.

@Josh has been skipped. Feel free to pick whenever. @Phil x2!

@Blazzer has been skipped. Feel free to pick at any time. @fromtheinside is up!

Keeping track of picks here. Good luck everyone! 1. @dlamb (GM) F - Duncan Idaho F - Aloe Dear F - Justin Lose D - Kristof Welch D - Aurelien Moreau G - Thadius Sales 2. @Blazzer F - Asher Reinhart F - Pistil Stamen F - Lee Xin D - Robin Galante Nilsson D - Jaromir Lemiuex G - Rara Rasputin 3. @fromtheinside F - Tyler Reinhart F - Gunnar Odinsson F - Rhynex Entertainment D - Reylynn Reinhart D - Zeedayno Chara G - Papa Emeritus 4. @TheNeonShaman F - Jared Carter F - Christian Mingle F - Robert Bouchard D - R D - Hard Markinson G - Tobias Reinhart 5. @Josh F - Henry Tucker F - Jivere Zolnek F - Jerome Reinhart D - Jan Hlozek D - Rolf Fizzlebeef Jr G - David Davis 6. @Phil F - That Dude F - Phil the Rock Johnson F - Dominic Gobeil D - Battre Sandstrom D - Tom Eagles G - Sirkants Klamasteris @Blazzer You're up!

(The Big Three) Now that Season 80 has completed, and the players from the Season 73 VHL Entry Draft have now played out their full careers, I'd like to examine the fabled "Big 3" from that draft, and what achievements they earned along the way. Groovy Dood (1st Overall, ) @bigAL 700 Career Points (313+387) S77 Scott Boulet Trophy S78 Scott Boulet Trophy S79 Scott Boulet Trophy 1 Finals Appearance Jeffrey Pines (5th Overall, ) @rory 615 Career Points (225+390) S80 Continental Cup S73, 74, 75, 76, 78 JPMDLTMVP 1 Finals Appearance Dakota Lamb (10th Overall, ) @dlamb 649 Career Points (266+383) S74 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy S77 Victory Cup S78 Continental Cup S80 Continental Cup 3 Finals Appearances All together that's 3 cups, 1,964 Regular Season Points, 249 Playoff Points, 4 Individual Awards, as well as 2 GMs and a Commissioner. Also, there is a possibility Pines will take some individual awards this offseason for his 25 goal, 108 point campaign as a defender. Find me a better group of triplet 1st gens, I dare you. P.S, A special shoutout to the honorary member of the Big 3+1, Matty Socks (22nd Overall, ) @fishy who had a very respectable career on Chicago's backend and beats out Al by actually winning the VHL's biggest prize, the Continental Cup.

1. Does your player have a role model in or out of hockey? Outside of hockey it would definitely be Gheorghe Hagi. He is a hero to all of us here in Romania, and transcends the sport of football. In hockey, I'd have to say Alexander Mogilny. He paved the way for European players in professional hockey. 2. Does anyone else have a pair of teammates who rate every team member on their performance for the year in a podcast? This seems like an oddly specific question, and to be honest, I'm not sure who are the two that do it currently. I'm going to say no, but I'd definitely like to see more people do it! 3. How many sim leagues are you in and is that really the right number for you? I'm just in VHL right now, but I have tried my hand in SBA, EFL, and SHL. Even with the Affiliate PTs I can't seem to stay consistent in those other leagues, so I would say 1 is the right number for me, here in the VHL. 1. What city has the best fans in the VHL universe? 2. If you could add one thing to the "player store" - what would it be? 3. What is more important to a team's success - drafting, or free agency?
