1. the google play store actually lol, i constantly keep searching for good sports manager games and the VHL app kept popping up so decided to give it a go, ultimately deleted after creating my player initially from all the confusion but gave it another go a little while after and now here I am.. ready to stay haha
2. I feel really good, individually i've been performing really well and hope to keep it up and maybe catch up to the point leader soon, and as a team i see a lot of good potential to keep fighting for a playoff spot, losing both games today was rough but no doubt we can put that behind us and get into winning form
3. Trick question, I'm always prepared 😉
4. I think the team is great, we do have a good LR and good communication but I would like to see more from other players and get a bit more involved to really boost team morale to an even higher level than it current is
5. PFFTTT easy!!! Straight to a nice pub with good music, get some grub in us along with some pints of beer then head back to place for Karaoke and ping pong
6. Yes i did, absolutely LOVED it and cannot wait to hear more and maybe be in a couple!
Welcome back to another addition of the VHLM Power Rankings! We are nearing the halfway point of the season and one thing has become certain this season, and that is nothing is certain. Aside from one team, 11 of our 12 teams are at least in playoff contention in some way or another. A couple teams have certainly pulled ahead overall, but it's been a pretty interesting season and there's potential for a decent amount of movement both in the standings, and in the Power Rankings. Because of this, I expect there could be a very interesting trade market leading up to the trade deadline this year, as many teams may feel like they have a shot at contending for the Founder's Cup. This makes for an exciting finish down the stretch of the regular season, so buckle in, it's going to be a wild second half!

Led by the expert leadership of Assistant General Manager @tcookie, Mississauga has exceeded all expectations this season, and vaulted themselves solely into the top position of the Power Rankings. Having already found themselves in a good spot heading into the start of the season, the Hounds opted to make additions to their squad to solidify themselves as one of the major threats going into this year's playoffs. The Hounds welcomed in longtime Yukon Rush forwards @jpach Johnny Pacheco and @Pythonic Gaspar Yakrevsky to give themselves even more firepower up front. While these moves undoubtedly strengthen their team, it also means they are all in for this season seeing as how they shipped off alot of future assets to accommodate these trades. Pacheco and Yakrevsky join their old Rush teammate @Spartakiller2 Guy Lambert, who is having quite a year for himself thus far. Through 28 games Lambert has 10 goals and 35 assists. The Hounds are solid from top to bottom and have a balanced attack. The defense has been great, and goaltender @Lspinelli Luke Spinelli is having a career year with a 23-2-0 record with a 1.99 goals against average and a .910 save percentage. If Spinelli continues to play like this, it would be hard to imagine many teams contending with the Hounds this season. Again, with the timely trades and the solid draft, I commend tcookie for doing a great job with his squad this season, way to go Trevor!

Coming in at two is none other than the Sasky Bois! The Wild have come flying out of the gate this season and currently sit atop the Western Conference with a record of 22-5-2. Saskatoon currently leads the entire league in scoring, having already amassed a whopping 130 goals. Even more incredibly, 30 of those goals have come at the hands of winger @124715 Duncan Montana. Not far behind him has been his linemate @HoneyBadger25 Griff Mackenzie who has 25 goals of his own! And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one of the major catalysts for the team's offense. Defenseman @Ahma David Tavau has been the ultimate dishmaster so far this season with a mind-boggling 46 assists already. If he keeps it up, he will be on pace for 100 assists this season! Apart from scoring in heaps, the Wild have also done a great job of keeping the puck out of their own net so far this year. Up to this point they have only allowed 71 goals against which is the second best total in the league. While the defense should definitely get credit for shutting down the opposing offense, goaltender @BrutalBoost Andrew Bowman has looked stellar so far in the campaign. With an .898 save percentage, a sparkling 2.36 goals against average, and 3 shutouts already, Bowman looks poised to take the Wild deep into the playoffs!

The Aces currently sit at 17-9-3 and have been red hot as of late, riding a five game win streak heading into this weekend. Vegas is one of four teams that have scored into the triple digits so far this year, but when you look at the scoring breakdown for the team, it's very odd. Leading the way is left winger @Wolverine Darryl McDagg who currently has enjoyed an amazing start to his season with 21 goals, 22 assists for 43 points. From there it gets a little wacky. Including McDagg, they have 5 total skaters with 30 or more points, which is great to have that kind of offense spread out amongst your team. The weird part is that the other four players are all defensemen. It's great to get offense for your blueline, but it's pretty odd that 4 d-men are in your top 5 for scoring. Newly acquired defensemen @Jakefufu Shaggy Tipton is among those who have chipped in on defense. He has himself 31 points but also sports a tidy plus-13 to boot. The Aces gave up a couple of high end draft picks to acquire the services of Tipton, so hopefully he can keep up the good work. Meanwhile, the Aces will need to get more from their forwards if they want to compete in the playoffs. Goaltender @Erik Morgan Karlsson has started in all 29 games and went 17-9-3 with a 2.69 GAA and an .890 save percentage. If he can keep up his stellar play, the Aces will be a legit threat going forward.

In the first installment of the S77 Power Rankings, I penned Miami in as the number one team in the VHLM. This time around they are down to the fourth position, but they still seem to be a strong club who could do some damage this season. Miami sits in second in the Eastern Conference with a 15-11-2 record and have a 3 point cushion on Halifax. Right winger @LilHCorny Trevor Wallace leads the team with 17 goals thus far and has found real good chemistry with linemate @Shiny Alexander the Great. Alex the Great has put up 41 points in total, which is best on the team, and has proven to be a solid playmaking center. The Marauders have been decent offensively, but could definitely use a little extra firepower from other players. @CptSquall Napoleon Bonaparte is a player to watch in that respect. Although he has a respectable 26 points through 28 games, he is a max capped player and has already produced at more than a point per game pace in his past, so there's definitely room for improvement. Defensively the Marauders have been very efficient, only allowing 79 goals against thus far which is second best in the league. The defensive core as a whole has been terrific. Czech checker @Bojovnik Jan Hlozek has chipped in 25 points and leads the team with 37 blocked shots, while Swedish blueliner @ThomasSysterJocke Jockesson has 22 points (all assists) and tops the team in hits with 53. Between the pipes @ClapbombsRus has started all games for Miami has sports an .872 save percentage with a 2.77 GAA. While these numbers are respectable, there is still some room for improvement. I predict Miami to float around second in the East for most of the remainder of the season, but Halifax will be right there every step of the way so they will need to stay vigilant. It will be interesting to see if management opts to add any pieces ahead of the trade deadline.

Previously coming in at #10, the Bulls have moved up five spots to fifth. Their surge up the power rankings is largely thanks to their 18-9-2 record. While they have been winning games a great clip, I still don't believe the Bulls are built for success this season. With only six forwards and two defensemen, they are getting a lot from their meager roster. Center @Senjo1706 Bradley Senjo and winger @Willy Myers lead the way offensively with 56 and 50 points respectively. On the blueline @RicoTheTrapGod has posted a very impressive 38 points (16G, 22A) through 29 points. Their high-end players certainly have produced the way they had hoped, but they are just way too lean and lack the roster depth needed to compete with the stronger teams in the league. I think they would be better off selling their high end assets at the deadline and reloading for next season, but we will have to see how Bulls' management wants to play things. Goalie @enigmatic Aike van Giersbergen continues to develop nicely. He's started all games for Houston and has an .884 save percentage and a 3.03 GAA. Despite his strong development, his numbers may not improve since the Bulls only roster 2 defensemen and are forced to play bot defensemen who are a huge deficiency. If the Bulls were able to sign a couple of defensemen to plug up those holes, their team would be a lot better for it.

While the Halifax 21st find themselves down a spot from where they were previously, it's only be the slimmest of margins and overall, I still think they have a great squad. They currently sit just above the .500 mark with a record of 13-12-3, which places them third in the Eastern Conference. The 21st feature four full lines of forwards ranging in skill and experience. Leading them statistically is American right winger @Tbeez99 Kyle Glass, who has 19 goals and 20 assists for 39 points. His 19 goals matches his total from last year in just 28 games, so there is no denying the fact he is having a massive breakout sophomore season. He's also chipped in 83 hits, making Halifax that much tougher to play against. Another sophomore to watch is winger @GlowyGoat Baldur Poulsen. Poulsen has averaged just under a point per game with 26 points (12G, 14A) through 28 games. While Halifax hasn't gotten a ton of scoring from their back end, defenseman @bluesfan55 has played very solid and leads the team with 95 hits and is a plus-1. Halifax has split duties between two goalies this season, but @williamirc Johnathan Bustard seems to have emerged as the teams starter. In 15 appearances so far, Bustard has posted a record of 8-6-1 with a tidy 2.61 GAA, an .897 save percentage and two shutouts to boot. The Warsaw prospect has played very well thus far. If the players on Halifax continue to develop throughout the season, I think they could be a major player come playoff time.
Prev: 2 | Current: 7 ⬇️
For whatever reason, the Minnesota Storm haven't found what made them so dominant in Season 76. Their offense has struggled, and although there's been some bright spots, they find themselves in the bottom half of the league for goals scored so far this year. A good sign your offense may be underachieving is when two of your defensemen are in your top three for goals scored. @VOID Stiles Markuss Puhovs currently leads the team in points with 37 (11 goals, 26 assists). While right winger @Grapes-Tophat_Clan- Grapes has performed admirably with 20 goals and 16 assists, the rest of the forward core has really come up short. I expected more from the likes of @2hawkCalvin Hobbes and @Patrik Tallinder Nils Tallinder, but for whatever reason they just can't seem to get any momentum this season. I think they have the pieces in place to be a great team, and I definitely wouldn't count them out yet. I could see Minnesota management making a trade to bolster their lineup before the trade deadline. In goal, @Flames1Fan Dexter Vaughn has faired so-so, but he will need to find another gear in order to help carry his team to success.
Prev: 12 | Current: 8 ⬆️
In the previous edition of the Power Rankings, I had Yukon ranked dead last, but that was solely due to the fact they were without a goalie heading into the start of the season. Shortly after that article was posted, the Rush management were able to come to terms with free agent goalie @Tropicalfire Darcy Cat. Having Darcy Cat in net changes alot for Yukon, but at the end of the day the Rush are focused more towards next season than the current one. As previously mentioned, they dealt away two of their top forwards for draft picks and players that will be under contract for future seasons. That being said, they still have center @Jake Sumner The Great who is tied for the league lead in goals with 30, and fourth in league scoring with 54 points. So for now, the Rush still have a major offensive weapon. If they choose to move him before the deadline, the Rush will undoubtedly fall out of the Top 8 of the Power Rankings. For now they are still a pretty solid team and as far as "the war" is concerned with San Diego, the Rush are the better team. If they finished behind the Marlins it's purely because they moved out their assets to focus on a strong Season 78. For the time being though, young rookies like @Alex_J32 Alex Johnston and @JB123 Nathan Powers have gave Rush fans a reason to keep cheering and have been developing at a great rate!
Prev: 8 | Current: 9 ⬇️
Down one spot, and notably one spot below the aforementioned Yukon Rush, we have the San Diego Marlins coming in at number nine! San Diego is a young squad brimming with potential and enthusiasm and they've already made leaps and bounds from last season. Thad has his squad working hard and developing and that's what the M is all about. Left winger @Mistxh J Nicholas Mariani has enjoyed a solid campaign thus far and leads the team with 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points. Meanwhile his teammate and also Assistant GM @Eldredman Aldwin Craig continues to bring the pain as he's already amassed 125 hits this season. On the blueline, Swedish defender @Gwdjohnson Arvid Johansson has been the Marlins best player, leading all d-men in points with 27. Additionally the Swede leads his entire team in blocked shots with 50. His development has been solid this season and he could get himself on the radars of some VHL executives if he continues working hard. In between the pipes netminder @Jericho Anime Protagonist continues to work on his game and is getting ample opportunity to show what he is made of. It will be fun to watch how Anime progresses through his San Diego story arc. NANI?
Prev: 11 | Current: 10 ⬆️
Much like how Yukon was rated towards the bottom of the Power Rankings, Philly also found themselves on the bottom of the heap mostly due to the fact they were goalie-less heading into the start of the season. Since then they have picked up goaltender @Kuba-Fleury. That being said, they still have a ways to go , but they are certainly trending in the right direction. It should be interesting what they decide to do heading into the trade deadline as they have some moveable assets should they choose to defer to competing in next season. The Reapers have been active in waiver claims and have been able to scoop up a decent number of bodies to help round out their roster. Props to @KaleebtheMighty for his successful waiver recruitment design that certainly caught the eye of many. On the ice there's not many surprises at @glass Kjell Nilsson continues his dominance of the M with 26 goals and 29 assists for 55 total points. Not far behind him is winger @caltroit_red_flames Genghis Khan who has 48 points of his own, including 25 goals, four of which are game winners. @ColeMrtz Zeljko Ranogajec continues to show he is a high level playmaker as he already has 39 assists which is best on the team. On top of his assists, Ranogajec has also laid out 98 hits and blocked 53 shots. Philadelphia is currently 10-16-3 which is last in the Eastern Conference, but if they kept their team together or even added a player or two, they could still make a run to make the playoffs.
Prev: 7 | Current: 11 ⬇️
I admit, putting Ottawa as high as seven last Power Rankings was a blunder. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and I thought maybe they could build off an okay foundation that they had started with. Many of the teams at the start of the season were around the same spot as Ottawa. The problem is Ottawa hasn't done anything to improve themselves. With just 8 players on their roster, they are still 13-15-0 which is is technically the seventh best record in the league. But do not be deceived. Their 66 goals scored is the lowest total in the league, and their minus-29 is the second worse in the league. At least the team in last place is clearly in tank mode. I'd take that over this Lynx squad that just seems dormant and lacking any direction at all. It's very disappointing as I was hoping the Lynx would finally turn the corner this season and start competing again, but alas, it was not meant to be.
Prev: 9 | Current: 12 ⬇️
And last, and absolutely least we have the Mexico City Kings who have went full tank mode. And to be honest, I respect it. New management come in and assessed things. It's time to blow up what's left and start fresh. The Kings are coming off three seasons of successful hockey, highlighted by a Founder's Cup win last season. No better time then now to start fresh. This is also a great example of what your team will look like without a player goalie. 2-29-0 and a goal differential of -109. Yikes, On the plus side, rookie players like @McKelvie Amze Miklavz and @duckberg32 Watson Stonebridge have showed great promise and will surely go high in next season's VHLM Dispersal Draft. Keep up the good work lads!
Well there you have it folks! Another edition of the Power Rankings in the books. Mississauga has clearly distanced themselves from the field and seem like the clear-cut favorite to be a cup contender right now. Saskatoon also has alot of great things going for them and should not be overlooked either. After that I'd say teams 3 through 10 all have a legitimate shot at being playoff bound. It's going to be truly fascinating to watch how the VHLM execs handle the new couple of weeks leading into the trade deadline. Who are the contenders and who are the pretenders? Thanks for reading and until next time, happy Easter, and stay safe out there!
Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of VSN's seasonal Future Watch series release. I'm your resident head scout MattyIce and this article is doubly special for myself.
We get to cover another season of prospects and teams gearing up for the VHL and also, I'll have a special privileged announcement to make!
Another draft has come and gone, and many players have found themselves here; in a prospect pool.
The grind has begun to get to the big show and we're here to show you who's where and who's going to enter the VHL in seasons to come.
With many GM changes this offseason, my associate @fonziGG applied for, and accepted the Vancouver Wolves GM job.
Thank you for your contributions and best of luck at your new position! It was a pleasure hiring you and working alongside you.
With his departure, I decided to post TWO job openings to round out our Central Scouting department.
While there was alot of interest, I chose two members that have created waves of positive energy throughout the VHL.
These two have simply shown excellent professionalism throughout their tenures and it's awesome to have them on board.
It's my pleasure to introduce @RedSus and @Spartan.
Spartan: Cheers folks, thrilled to be part of VSN's scouting department.
I think most of you know me, but for those who don't, I am the GM of the Moscow Menace, former GM of the Las Vegas Aces and also an updater.
I've always enjoyed scouting as a GM, and I think that it's always important to keep an eye on the next generation of potential VHL superstars.
We've worked very closely together to evaluate and analyze every team's active prospect pool, and we're excited to share our work with you!
RedSus: Hello everybody i'm RedSus, i'm very excited to be joining VSN scouting and look forward to providing content for you.
Scouting has always been an interest of mine ever since joining the league so I definitely look forward working with Matty and Spartan on upcoming projects.
I wish all of the prospects reading this the best and hope you all enjoy this article!
Let's see how the teams around VHL are gearing up for the future, shall we?

Calgary is facing a new era in their lengthy history, headlined by the hiring of Ricer as their new GM after Jubis stepped down at the end of S76. Sitting at 14th in the overall standings, Calgary is definitely looking to the future to try to get this team into a competing position again. The team immediately addressed their defense core in the most recent draft, selecting Rolf Fizzlebeef Jr. at 7th overall, and then Joe Madison at 14th overall. Fizzlebeef was VHL ready at the time of the draft, and has performed very well so far during this regular season. Madison looks to be called up next season, as well as S76 selection Markuss Puhovs. The question will be how they will make room for these stellar defenseman, with no pending UFA's or retirees on their current defense core. Look for GM Ricer to try to move a player like Kosmo Kramerev at the trade deadline. Russell Dixon, their 3rd round pick looks to come up in S79, and the team will look for him to develop a bit offensively with just 2 points in 26 games in the minors. Goalie ClapbombsRUs looks to come up next season as well and take over the backup goalie spot.

The Phoenix are all in on the cup and looking to defend their title, but their players are aging rapidly. Chicago is going to face dark days with only a few prospects in their system to replace their aging core. Their entire active prospect system is made up purely of defensemen, even though their defense core is relatively young. Sportsboy57 is progressing slowly, so he could be called up to the VHL in S79. Vasiliy Grigorev, the last pick of the 2nd round in the S77 class has the highest potential out of the prospects in the system, although he will likely only make the jump up in S79 as well. New Player could be the sole prospect to come up in S78, but despite being a strong defenseman in the VHLM, he still needs time to become a VHL caliber defenseman.

DC is facing a bit of a conundrum this season, as they entered the season with aspirations to contend for the championship again. However, a lack of depth and a reliance on their defensive depth and a few superstars has them sitting in last place in the VHL. Although this may not be the season they win it all, their prospect pool looks very solid. Both Nilsson and Henchoz are ready to make the jump to the VHL next season, and should provide strong depth for a Dragons squad that may embrace the rebuild. Creed, the 24th overall pick in the S77 draft, is the crown jewel of this prospect group, with fantastic development each week and averaging almost a point per game with Halifax in the VHLM. Look for him to be ready to make the Dragons roster in S78. Jah Coon is also having a resurgence in his career, seemingly things have clicked for him. He's made massive improvements since S75, and could be a strong prospect who's ready to come up in S79.

General Manager Gustav Mattias openly accepted that it was time to start the rebuild on Davos after some underwhelming seasons. Despite owning the top 2 picks of the S72 draft, Davos just never broke the curse to become a contender. Luckily for the organization, they have plenty of prospects that could come up in the next few seasons and potentially snap the draught. Reylynn Reinhart, the 2nd overall pick in the draft has already come up to the VHL, and fellow first round pick Miles Johnson is in prime position to join his fellow draft mate in the VHL next season. Following closely behind him will be S77 2nd round forward Griff Mackenzie and TheCHEESE, as well as 3rd rounder Declan Wolf, all making significant progress as they hope to join Davos' core for the next few seasons. Defensemen Raphael Sonier and Ezechiele Pierde Enel look to be slightly longer term projects, but the two offensive minded defensemen both project to come up in S79, where GM Gustav will have to make tough choices who he will keep as part of his defense core. Later round picks Raihan Heavems, Emile Clouet and Lochlan Chisholm will have their work cut out for them with so many top tier prospects to be competing with, but increased commitment from the young forwards can easily earn them a slot on the pro roster in S79. 60th overall pick Sean Ramirez may be one of the steals of the draft, selected with the 5th to last pick, but already playing like folks selected in the 3rd round. This group will be very competitive, and expect the players to use each other as motivation to make it to the big leagues. Perhaps that mindset will help them change the course of Davos history!

Helsinki is firmly in the middle of a playoff push, sitting towards the top of the league standings through 25 games played. Despite posessing a roster that of a contender, they've managed to maintain a strong balance between youth and veteran players. Unlike some other contenders in the league, Helsinki is armed with a strong prospect group, albeit mildly top heavy. Forwards Gustislav Nasherov and Jonny Pacheco from Missisauga are primed to make the jump to the main roster next season, with both bringing strong, balanced games to the Titans. Goalie Luke Spinelli could also come up, but we will see if General Manager Jubis will elect to keep the youngster in the minors for another season as they still have Zamboni Driver and Trent Gibson on the roster. Defenseman Elvis Michael has shown strong improvement, but may need a second season in the minors to further develop his game. The same can be said for winger Slick Dasher, who is almost certain to come up after S78. Young center Bryn Yrwy is a bit of a wild card, but a very strong defensive player. He'll need to make strides in his offensive game in order to make the cut and play in the big leagues.

After going out and acquiring some big names in the off season London has found themselves in the middle of a tight playoff race improving vastly from last season. While there pursuit for immediate success has left there pool of prospects relatively thin, it does not mean there nothing to be excited for if your London United. Dexter Vaughn, a goaltender drafted in season 76 by London is a near VHL ready prospect who needs a little fine tuning before he can make the jump to the bigs. He has made consistent strides to improve his game in the VHLM and I don't think it is a stretch to expect him joining London's goaltending group as soon as next season. Another prospect to look forward to is Gabby Dugan who like Dexter Vaughn has been steadily improving though the past couple seasons. Dugan is enjoying a breakout season in the VHLM having already matched her point total from last season. Dugan may need at least another season to make the jump to the VHL but she's definitely a prospect to keep an eye on for London. Lastly there is Hendrix Cobberson who is enjoying by far his most successful season to date. Drafted 81st in S75 Cobberson has shown this season that he has the potential to make to the VHL. Like Dugan after one more strong season of development we could see Cobberson crack the London United roster.

After multiple seasons of disappointment the Los Angeles Stars have finally found success in the VHL. They've done this with a roster filled with stars and yet they have managed to gather one of the best group of prospects in the league. There prospect pool is highlighted by S77 18th overall pick Trevor Wallace who is producing at a point per game pace in the VHLM along with S75 98th overall pick Kikko Moskinen. Both players without a doubt will join LA next season where could aim to be even stronger. Other prospects who have a chance at joining LA next season include Ron World Peace III who's producing nearly a point per game as a defenseman, Ghengis Khan who's currently 8th in VHLM scoring and Davey Jones Jr. All three players have a chance at making LA's roster next season if not the one after that. Additionally, season 77 picks kman, Jocke Jockesson and Ashton Hauff could all be very valuable players in the future with a season more or two of experience. Last but not least LA's one goalie prospect is expected to make his VHL debut next season. With a 0.9 save% Barry Taffe has the second highest save percentage in the VHLM by goalies who've played over 5 games. He's doing this while playing on a below average Ottawa team which makes his numbers that more impressive.

With new GM Hylands at the helm Malmo is in the middle of a tight playoff race in the EU looking to return to the post season for the first time since they won the continental cup. There current roster holds a lot of depth much like there collection of prospects who are set to supply Malmo with talent for seasons to come. Two of there bright young players could aid Malmo's efforts as soon as the beginning of S78, The great and Bradley Senjo are both centers in the VHLM who are having phenomenal seasons with there respective teams as there 2nd and 3rd in the M in scoring respectively. Malmo then holds a plethora of young talent from the S77 draft who could all turn out to be impact players. Joshooo was drafted 26th overall after breaking out as a superstar in the VHLM last season. JaredN Jr has shown consistent improvement in his game, Baldar Poulsen has had a very good season at almost a point per game and Zeljko Ranogajec has already surpassed his point totals from his rookie year. These 4 players could make a push to make the VHL next season as they all have shown there potential this season. Kirby Pandora and Tyler Steel are other good prospects in the Nighthawks pipeline who should be in the conversation for making this team in S79. 63rd overall pick Apollo will also need at least 1 or 2 years of development before we can see his name on the back of a Malmo Nighthawks jersey.

The Moscow Menace have entered a new era after unloading many of their best players in favour of draft picks and other assets. They have also transitioned to new management lead by the freshly minted General Manager Spartan. After selling off some high level assets, Moscow managed to stockpile a good amount of bright young prospects to aid there team in the future, some of which have already made the jump to the VHL. With Atreides and Idaho already establishing themselves in the league, Moscow can now look forward to their many other prospects who may join the team next season. Among these players include S77 top prospect Kyle Glass who was selected 22nd overall last season and is off to an impressive start this season; at 17 goals already he is only 2 tallies away from matching his previous total with two thirds of the season left to play. He along with S75 forwards Owen Taylor and Grapes with the addition of S76 defensemen Shaggy Tipton should all expect to make Moscow's roster for next season. Moscow's prospect pool is then rounded out by names such as Bahram Kamkar, who could make his debut as soon as S79 and forwards such as Duncan Montana, Brent Skimmer and Giles Sweeney who all may need some seasoning before making the jump to the VHL. Additionally, goaltender Andrew Bowman has shown a lot of promise in the VHLM and could be ready to join Moscow's goalie tandem in S78. All in all, Moscow won't be short on depth in the future as they have a number of VHL worthy players on the rise.

New York has made significant steps in their rebuild, adding high octane talent like Rhynex Entertainment, Red Lite and up and coming goalie Thadius Sales in the past few drafts. While the squad isn't in the basement of the league anymore, they still have a decent ways to go to be considered a top contender. Luckily for them, they have a strong prospect pool to utilize over the next two seasons. Calvin Hobbes is a lock to come up in S78, although with the center depth of New York, may end up playing a wing as a well-rounded forward. S77 draft picks Tanky, Aldwin Craig and The Loch Ness Monster have a chance to come up next season, but GM Esso Drunkmann may elect to have them continue their development in the VHLM for another season. Older winger Craig Martin has been making consistent progress over past few seasons, but he may have to wait until S79 to get the opportunity to play in the pros. 55th overall pick Jordan Heavens is also likely to to come up in S79 or S80, as the sniper still has room to develop his skating game and defensive IQ. Look to see this young roster possess some dangerous depth across their roster by S79.

The Phantoms are enjoying a strong start to the season, sitting at 4th overall in the standings. While the team has long been led by Thomas Landry II, a changing of the guards appears to be in order with Prague's young forwards establishing themselves in the league. With most of their recent selections already in the big leagues, Prague has just 4 members in their prospect pool. Most exciting of the bunch is surely Willy Myers, a true sniper over a point per game in the minors. The young forward has found the back of the net 19 times in just 24 games. Fellow S76 draftee Chicken Nugget is having a breakout year, tallying 30 points in 27 games, so look for him to be on the roster in S79. Nicholas Mariani, GM Jason Glasser's sole pick in the S77 draft has developed very nicely, exceeding expectations and locking in a spot on the pro roster in S79 as well. S72 defenseman Joakim Lund may never be called up to the pros, but has enjoyed a very successful career as a veteran in the minors.

GM Benjamin Zeptenberg's draft strategy since the S74 selloff has been successful for the seasons since, and the youth that has carried over is even still impressive. S75 pick Noah Mashford should finally graduate after four seasons in the VHLM. His production and progress have steadied over the past two seasons, although this snipers' defensive game does still need alot of work. Recent 1st round pick Jan Hlozek chose to stay in the M for another season to dominate and learn the game more and next season he'll be ready to play in a top 4 role quite comfortably. Forward Miks Sunish, defenseman Chris P Bacon and goalies Morgan Karlsson and Kuba Fleury are still somewhat of a question mark to be VHL ready next season, so Riga management has eyes on those youngers as well. As for looking down the road, more prospects look to flood in during the S79 season, and they'll have depth at every position. At least two players should graduate next season, but that could inflate to six, with prospects like goalie Darcy Cat, winger Mikhail Johanssen and defensemen Jere Suominen, still developing, and selections to make at the draft; Riga sure has a very strong draft-and-develop strategy that's very impressive. As of this writing, Riga has six more selections to make at the upcoming draft, including Toronto's 1st round pick, so it could be a season to fill the prospect pool even more.

The once dominant Seattle Bears have taken a step back in terms of competing for a cup, but have made strong strides to put together the next core of the future. Only 3 of their roster players have undergone depreciation, and most of their core is S74 or younger, with plenty of prospects in the pool. 4 players could be called upon to make the jump up in S78, including forwards Alexander the Great, Delving Mackey and Guy Lambert, along with their S77 2nd round selection of defenseman Nixon Caldwell. Lanbert and Macket are both strong offensively, with Mackey possessing a very disciplined game. Alexander the Great is well-rounded, establishing himself as a sold playmaker, while Nixon Caldwell is developing nicely into the puck-moving defenseman archetype. S75 winger Gaspar Zakrevsky may also be in the mix next season, but he may need another season to deveop his overall game. Fellow S77 2nd round pick Innunnguaq Kiak will most certainly stay in the minors for another seson much to the thrill of the Yukon Rush, as the young defenseman has tremendous offensive potential, netting 23 points in just 13 games after being traded from the Missisauga Hounds.

Toronto has had some recent draft success, with Jolly Greene Giant, Scotty Kaberle, Frank Funk Jr. and Asher Reinhart within the past three drafts, and GM Rylan Peace has also been wheeling and dealing, giving his roster a fresh new look. This leaves his prospect pool quite empty, so the only two drafted players here are forwards Nikita Wolf and Silas Messner. Wolf is a playmaking winger, playing his first full season in the VHLM with the Minnesota Storm. He's playing in a depth role for them and he's producing steadily. He should be ready for the bigs when season 79 comes around. Silas Messner's development has stalled since training camp, but that happens sometimes with later round selections. He's a centerman that does have good physical fundamentals, but he's clueless in his own zone and in the faceoff circle, which is a glaring deficiency for a centerman. The Legion only have four selections to make in the next two drafts, and no first round picks either. Perhaps GM Peace makes a move to get more picks or prospects, or he makes the best selections he can with what he has.

Vancouver is another team that just went through a GM swap, but it's no secret that previous GM Keaton Louth had success with the draft and develop approach. Newly-minted GM Ted Mosby inherits a franchise that is deep pretty much everywhere. Next season's graduating class might see no less than six players move up the Wolves' roster. S76 second round pick Napoleon Bonaparte himself is the most anticipated new arrival next season. The playmaking centerman has the goods to fill in at a depth position next season, while last season's first round pick Barron Kruulenstein is producing, assists, at a higher rate. He's still looking for his first goal in Minnesota, but his defensive development has been pretty amazing. Wingers Darryl McDagg and Gary Tarantino II are two snipers that are eyeing the VHL as well, but McDagg has been the more productive one, whereas Tarantino is just a bit further along in his development. Fellow winger and sniper Kid Frost is in his third VHLM season and is finally producing in Houston. He's another forward that wants the call up. Defenseman Roger Jone is also in his 3rd season, but it's still too soon to tell if he's gonna be ready for the S78 Wolves. His progress has been slow, but steady. Lorgo Pompronkimishkonov is most likely to be a career VHLMer, like the dart agency's previous player, Florent Vericel.

Warsaw is a stacked team, but they are slowly aging. With many players entering their prime, GM Damien Walec has his work cut out for him. There are only three players in the Predators' system, most notably, the most recent first round selection, Hadrian. He's a defenseman who's very close to being ready for the big league, and finally getting the ice time to produce in Halifax. He's build very solid and within the meta, so he can slot in right away and help the Warsaw defense corps starting next season. Cup winning goalie Jonathan Bustard has recently returned to form with Halifax and could be ready soon as well if he remains consistent in his earning. S77 third round selection Donnie Talifero, teammate of Bustard, is becoming a very solid defenseman and skater, but he's more likely going to need another season in the M. The Predators have four selections upcoming, so Walec has the luxury of building up his future with the S78 Entry Draft.

Jugs update on the week is really nothing special i made that pt article that gained some attention which i really did not expect after just joking around but it was cool too see how the community reacts and engaged so fast i honestly did not expect that. i.ve had some fun with my Player Milk Jugs I think its a matter of time before he really hits his stride and does well for himself. I've learned some things pretty quickly and have been learning as much as possible and feel i still have a ways yet. If I can get Jugs to produce some more points shortly id be very happy as i think ill continue to see what works with him. Jugs could use some more better stats all around with hits, shots blocked, goals and assists. Milk Jugs will just need to keep playing better as each sim happens and more mins should help with that but i think its also about getting better tpe wise and hitting the 100 club to get to that millstone early as of now would be something too boost his level of play. seeing on how the Marlins have played a playoff run would be neat for Jugs first season and for myself with my first player. This team has been fun to be on the people have been great and helpful when needed I'm still learning but i promise I will get better! anyways i know this article sucks but i guess its a short review on how things are going as of now
