    :mos: Moscow Menace - 11th Overall :mos:

    C - Keno Akara - @Keno

     

    Full disclosure, I was really hoping that a defenseman would still be available here at 11 overall, but only due to long-term need. Despite having Hammar Voss and Ak92 Wit da Hoodie locked up for the foreseeable future, Flynn Remy is poised to retire after S88, and Moscow has no defense prospects in their pipeline. However, Nico Pearce is also poised to retire at the end of S89, so a center was a position of secondary need after defense, and somehow a max-earning Keno Akara just fell into Moscow's lap here after the run on defensemen. Akara is an affiliate user coming out of Mexico City, where GM Cole had nothing but good things to say about the young center. The only concern will be if Moscow can continue to engage an affiliate user to stick around and find interest in the VHL, especially since most other affiliate users usually just hang around for the affiliate checks. If Akara is motivated in his development, Moscow could soon find themselves with a lethal one-two punch down the middle with Akara and Wallace. So far, Akara has been extremely active in the locker room and has shown a lot of interest in earning more TPE. Hope he doesn't burn out.

     

    Draft Grade: A- Akara is Him. A+
