Ledge

Last night, a couple guys and me did a little fantasy draft in yahoo I think. This is my team, the Axe Murderers. I landed Draisaitl with 3rd overall, which practically saved my otherwise questionable offense. Quinn Hughes was a good pickup in the second round, too. I also picked Zach Werenski in the 3rd round, which @MexicanCow123 didn't think was good and he let me know. It'll be funny when Werenski wins the Norris and my team whoops cow's team's ass. Werenski scored 20 goals as a defenceman last year by the way. Anyway, I also got Kyle Connor, Tomas Hertl, Alex DeBrincat, Miro Heiskanen, and Jacob Markstrom in what I think was a moderately successful draft. Other than that, and @Blazzer stealing a bunch of players I wanted, it looks like I'll settle into the middle of the pack for the league, whenever it starts. Cow also picked David Pastrnak in the second round, not realizing he's injured until like March. That was also very funny. And for a little inside joke, no one was "person" enough to pick Alex Biega. What was also funny and slightly angering was that the manager-less team got 1st overall for no apparent reason, but got stuck with Evgeni Malkin and Filip Forsberg(players nobody wanted) because they were highest on the list. I also got about 6 hours of sleep because I stayed and tried to calm the rebellion against the horny police until like 12:00 and then had to wake up at 6:30 for school. 256 words

1. We're gearing up for a playoff run, and I hope it inspires COLD FEAR in our opponents 2. I get 3 weeks off school, so that's a massive win for me. Christmas is good too, spending time with family. 3. I have another year before I go to high school 4. Yes, definitely. We will reclaim what is rightfully ours: first place in the west 5. Okay. 45 in 60 games, I think. Not bad for a defensive defenceman 6. A granola bar

I'll join

\ good job tho

Giz me tickt

Despite Jiggs' constant threat to Spartan to bonk him if he trades picks, the Aces have managed to amass some assets that will help them with their playoff run while keeping two first round picks. They made clear that they expected to go far in the playoffs with two main trades: First, they acquired clutch scorer, capped winger, and key part of last year's Founder's Cup champions Miami Marauders, one Sheldon Juniper, from the Yukon Rush. In exchange, the Aces gave up a S77 second rounder(not this draft but next one) and prospect player entering the dispersal draft Nathan Askarov. I think the Aces come out of this one with the W because Juniper is, however inconsistent, a clutch scorer in the playoffs and will add to the Aces' area of need, forward firepower. Also, a 2nd isn't much, and Askarov is pretty much a rental as he is entering the dispersal draft after this season. The second trade was with another rebuilder, the Hounds. It saw the Aces receive capped top scorer Dan Dan and the league leader in hits taken/capped forward Jordan Tate, while giving up two rookie rentals in Jah Coon and Noah Mashford and 1st and 4th round picks for this season. Another win for the Aces imho, since Dan and Tate also add to our now above average firepower and giving up only depth pieces that would have been relegated to the 4th line anyway. I also think it works out for Coon and Mashford, too, since they now get ideal ice time with the barren Hounds. 263 words

Way to go Bek! This is great!

1. VHL, of course 2. This is my first sim league, and I think it's great and don't think I'm going to switch anytime soon 3. I tried sba, but it's hard to manage 2 accounts as I soon found out. 4. Since VSN usually takes some time to prep their coverage, I head to discord and check on what the GMs are saying 5. Laptop usually 6. I'm hoping I get some free TPE from the raffle for VHL Christmas

raffle time

Free Pressers for all!! Merry Christmas! 1. Who is the best at among us in the VHL? 2. If you had to choose a VHL team to join, who would you go to and why? 3. Would you rather eat a bathtub full of kranch or stay in a pool of mayonnaise for 4 hours? 4. Who is funnier-Dil or Rory? 5. What's the worst movie you've ever seen and why? 6. Would you rather fight one hundred duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?

I don't think we have room

hello there

Love the new sig!

Let me tell ya, man, you were next on the list

Claiming week 1/3

Here we go, starting off with a VHL mock draft that is, as the title implies, wayyyy too early! I'm Ledge, and I hope you like this article because it took be a hell of a long time to make it. And if you're wondering, no, I did not assign teams to picks. I can't tell the future THAT well. 1st overall: Red Lite @Tate This one really wasn't a very tough decision. Red Lite is a star in the making. Currently sitting at a crazy 245 TPE, he'll be more than capped and ready to join the lucky team that lands him this offseason. The right winger is playing for the San Diego Marlins in the M, who are probably going to be a playoff team, allowing Lite to go on a draft showcase during the playoffs. All in all, look for Red Lite to have a fruitful VHL career. 2nd overall: Battre Sandstrom @Acydburn This 2nd overall pick was really close between Acyd and Beav, but since Beav is generally hated on by the league(I'm a beavliever btw), the higher pick goes to Acyd's new recreate, Sandstrom. A defenceman for the Yukon Rush, who are underperforming despite a good roster this year, Sandstrom has been quite good, notching almost point per game as a defenceman and basically opening up the eyes of a lot of VHL scouts. 3rd overall: Hulk Hogan Jr. @Beaviss There's no way a player as good as Hogan Jr. can fall farther than third in a relatively weak draft. Hogan has been not quite as offensively noticeable as Sandstrom but is a key part of the dominant Mexico City Kings roster and has amassed huge amounts of hits and blocked shots. Part of the champion Miami Marauders last season, Hogan already has a ring, and is looking for another this year. 4th overall: Frank Funk Jr. @Rayzor_7 Funk, Rayzor's new player after the legendary Rayz Funk retired last season, has the slight edge over the next guy down because Rayzor is a GM and can be counted on to be active. Funk himself has had a pretty good season. The Russian winger has put up decent points while also being a critical part of the Marlins blueline. 5th overall: Tom Eagles @Greg_Di Next up at 5th overall is Eagles. The Polish defenceman has been a sensation so far with the Philadelphia Reapers, putting up nearly a point per game and and having 113 shots as a defenceman! Eagles also capps every week, so a reliable earner is to be had. An overall gem that GMs should be looking out for 6th overall: Gunnar Odinsson @BOOM™ When BOOM finally returned to the VHL, they made quite a splash. Odinsson is the product of this rebirth, and although he has been overshadowed by some other young talents on the Marlins, he's still put up more than half a point per game and 61 blocked shots. BOOM is a good investment to be made, so Odinsson could be chosen higher. 7th overall: Kaladin Kvothe @DangerGolding DG's new British player comes in the form of Kvothe, who has an utterly unpronounceable surname. Yet ANOTHER player from the Marlins, Kvothe is a low-scoring left wing. Which is super confusing, mind you, because he has 90 TPE in scoring. One of the great conundrums of this era. Only 9 goals this season. Nevertheless, Kvothe should go around 7th overall. 8th overall: Kristof Welch @Juice A crazy reach at 8th overall? Nah. I even think Welch could go higher. The defender for the Yukon Rush earns TPE like his life depends on it, racking up 25 last week and 27 the week before. He headlines a group of first gen players who have been dominating the TPE leaderboards. Welch has slightly less than half a point per game, put that can be improved easily. 9th overall: Magnus Verlander @Jbeezy76 While not a top earner, Verlander has been showing off his almost perfect build this season, collecting more than a point per game with the dream team Kings. A lot of other players in this draft class have been struggling in the point column, but Verlander has been exceptional. 10th overall: Phoenix Dawson @Toast The legendary Toast cometh! Dawson, a two-way center for the defending champions Miami Marauders, is one of those players you can count on to cap each week and be a reliable member of the team. 36 points in 45 games isn't too shabby for a two-way forward, so I think next season we can expect some leaderboards for Dawson. 11th overall: Robin Galante Nilsson @RomanesEuntDomus Another player who caps every single week, Nilsson, a defenceman for the Philadelphia Reapers, has been a fantastic example of what every team needs. A solid, puck moving defender who can hit, block shots, and show up on the scoresheet. This is actually Nilsson's rookie season, which makes his saga even more incredible. 12th overall: Hex Rose @Hex Universe I have to give some credit to my boy, Hex. He was just hired by VSN to be a writer, and although Rose himself hasn't been one of the leading scorers in the league, he is a really good investment to make. One of the most eager first-gens I have ever seen in my short time in the league, Hex earns like crazy and I think he deserves to go higher than this in the draft. 13th overall: Caitlyn Catowize @CrazyCaityCat Whaaat? She fell this far? I know, it was really hard to do, but there are so many young talents in here that it's hard to pick just 16 for the first round. I feel the only reason Catowize dropped so far is because of her dismal point totals. This is another conundrum, because her build looks fine to me. I guess Simon is the one who picks the successful players, though. Catowize is still a steal at 13. 14th overall: Erin Esurance @Sljppers Yet another first gen TPE machine is Erin Esurance. The winger for the lowly Mississauga Hounds has benefitted greatly from the large amounts of ice time, posting 24 goals and more than a point per game. Esurance has also been at the top of TPE leaderboards almost every time I've checked. Obviously an absolute steal at 14, very much could be higher. 15th overall: Eeli Rantanen @Jolline Arrg, this is getting so hard! So many capable players, but not nearly enough spots! I figured I'd have to give one to Rantanen, though. Almost a point per game player, Rantanen also has an insane 232 shots. Another winger who is benefitting from the ice time opened up by the rebuilding Hounds, he is also a reliable TPE earner. A win-win for the lucky team that gets him. 16th overall: Phil The Rock Johnson @Phil Despite his measly two points this season as a forward, I know a couple of teams that would gladly take Johnson, a winger for the Marlins. He's a consistent earner, but I think his scoring and passing are too close together. Anyhow, a player with this much TPE will be a good player to get this late in the draft. Honorable Mentions: Jivere Zolnek @Sixersfan549 Evgeny Bernov @Viperxhawks19 Javad Kamkar @Parriyah9374 Lenny Sanderson @Gally MacGruber @Motzaburger Philip Stein @IHateBobNutting So, Since I want to get to claim this for three weeks, I'll have to write another four hundred words or so. So I'll do a quick recap of what just happened. Red Lite is going 1st overall. This is not debatable. He is by far the best player available, and I hope the team that gets 1st overall chooses him. For 2nd overall, it's up to Battre Sandstrom and Hulk Hogan Jr. I say whichever one earns the most the next couple weeks will get the earlier pick(btw guys, if you're not going to do a point task, why not claim welfare?) Frank Funk Jr. and Tom Eagles will battle it out for 4th overall, and the other will go 5th. No question here either After that, it's a mess of a draft class. Lots of capable players, but some with large amounts of TPE but not of points. I can see Welch, Rose, Esurance, and Rantanen easily climbing the rankings a lot the next couple weeks, and I'll bet we see Kamkar, Sanderson, and Stein on this list very soon. Overall, not as strong a draft class as last season, but a very strong one indeed. I think we should still see active players through the 3rd round or so, but them it drops off dramatically, so we won't be having an expanded draft this season. I mean, I don't want to jinx anything, but it looks like the LA Stars might get 1st overall two years in a row. Pistil Stamen and then Red Lite. For sure a recipe for greatness. If the Riga Reign manage to get lucky at the lottery, Lite will be a gift to their rebuild. Even if they don't get it, they're getting a top five pick, so that rebuild looks very, very promising. Also, a little RIP for me, I chose Davos to win the cup in the awards predictions thing. They are second last in the European conference. So I won't be winning that, at least this year. 1551 words

ayyyy @fyrefly welcome to the Aces!!

1. I think we're kind of realizing our potential now, and Matt is, too 2. Never tried tea. Hot chocolate for now. 3. I'm glad we get to keep aksuko, but that lottery pick, maybe 1st overall, would've been nice 4. I got road hockey goalie pads when I was 8, and it was the greatest thing. 5. I give scoring some extra TPE, put points isn't really my goal 6. Winter. I hate being hot. At least when you're cold you can do something about it
