Yeah basically, some believe it counts more in the playoffs which would make sense, but I honestly don't think there is any hard evidence that supports it.

Trading out of the top 5 in this weak ass draft is crazy work

Cash Carti: From the Islands to the Ice Born originally in Saint Lucia, the small Caribbean paradise not known at all for its winter sports, the remarkable Cash Carti embarked on an un probable journey and found his way into lacing up a pair of skates. His native country is more known for track and field, and soccer - not quite a hockey-centric environment. He spent many of his young years under the sun however his lore took a turn making him into one of the wildest stories in pro hockey. During his early life in Saint Lucia, Carti spent his time enjoying much of what the island had to offer. He had never seen ice until later in life and it was soccer that first sparked his interest. He grew up playing on makeshift fields with friends and his natural athleticism was apparent very early on. When he was just 10 years old his family decided to move to Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States of America, where his path took a turn. Discovering Hockey in Atlanta Atlanta was never traditionally a hotbed for hockey either, with the Atlanta Thrashers, the failed NHL franchise no longer existing after their very short stint in the market. The move to Atlanta from Saint Lucia was life altering for Carti. It was during a field trip with his school to a local ice rink that he first tried on a pair of skates, a completely new experience for him. There was something fascinating to Carti though, about the speed he felt on the ice. He became obsessed pretty quickly and begged his parents to let him attend skating lessons. They knew that hockey was an expensive sport and didn't wan't to bear the financial burden of fulling committing him to that level just yet. Skating was a great start to see if he could develop the fundamental skills on ice first. He was incredibly successful and caught on super quick, so after 5 months his parents did opt to let him join hockey. Coaches were immediately impressed with his speed and balance, and once a stick hit his hands it was like the missing puzzle piece completing the skillset. Cash Carti was a hockey player. Climbing The Ranks In a city ruled predominantly by football (Falcons) and basketball (Hawks), Carti stood out. Not only was he an island born player, but his raw speed and on ice vision made him one of the most exciting young guns for scouts and fans to watch in the region. His parents were all in on supporting his growth in the sport of hockey, and began to recognize their son was a standout talent. They did everything they could to set him up for success going forward. Carti's breakthrough came during a major tournament in New York when he was 16 years old. Scouts from junior leagues were in attendance, including those from the VHLM. His dynamic play caught their attention witnessing his special blend of speed, power, agility, and scoring prowess. Scouting reports began to flood in and Carti found himself with a decision to make. Play a year in junior in the United States, or jump to the VHLM draft. The Junior Hockey Experience Carti ultimately decided to move to Michigan to play for the Wolverines in the NAA , a major step in his hockey development. While the transition to college hockey is normally a challenge for young players due to the game being faster, Carti found it comfortable and actually adjusted perfectly to the pace since his speed was able to match the level right away. During his time in Michigan he became known for his speed and ability to score goals in a variety of different ways, many during clutch time. After a breakout season his draft rank skyrocketed and he was prepared for the next step. The VHLM draft is on the horizon and Cash Carti's name should be near the top. The VHL Dream Ultimately Carti is poised to reach his ultimate goal of playing in the Victory Hockey League. While the VHLM is set to be the next step in his journey, his sights are set for the VHL. A fierce combination of lightning speed and aggressive scoring allows Carti to find success in the VHLM and scouts expect him to solidify himself at the top of the scoring stats during his time in the league. Carti's agent has said that he hopes to land in Houston - somewhat close to home. The Bulls are a storied VHLM franchise and house some great management. Winning a championship in Houston is the next goal in Cash Carti's world, but the overall focus will remain achieving the Victory Hockey League and playing among the best of the best talent in the hockey world.

S95 - VHL Playoff Bracket Challenge Payouts!
v.2 replied to youloser1337's topic in VHL Fantasy Zone
15 is the max earnable for 3 completely perfect brackets in each league no? Thankfully the E is now dead so this can never happen again lol. -
PROS: Shooting - Carti is an all out offensive weapon, honing his skills in inner city Atlanta he quickly became one of the top shooters in his city. His wrist shot and slapshot combined make for a deadly scoring threat anytime he has the puck on his stick. Most goals come via wrist shot from his "office", which is almost on the goal line where he waits for perfect one time passes and opportune rebounds. Strength - Carti is one of the biggest names from his city and it shows on the ice. His strength makes him unbelievably hard to knock off the puck and most opponents feel threatened by his aura, not even attempting to knock him with the fear of risking a penalty or getting injured. While he doesn't hit a lot, he certainly has the size and stature to impose fear in opponents not to interfere with his game. CONS: Passing - Carti is a straight shooter, resulting in a lack of passing ability. He always thinks to shoot first and rarely passes the puck unless outnumbered or completely pressured. This can disturb team chemistry to a degree but once his teammates realize he capitalizes on most shots the sentiment quickly dissipates. More assists however would definitely make him a more complete player and the points would look better on paper. Skating - Carti isn't the fastest, at all, but can be misleading. He coasts around the ice waiting for his best opportunity to score, conserving energy and drifting around. Think Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. This can cause him to look like he is lazy or doesn't care, but when it counts Carti knows when to turn it on. Overall his skating ability can still be considered subpar and coaches would like to see him a little more mobile during games. AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT Defence - His defence game is being worked on, and will develop more over his first season in the VHLM. Coaches are working with him now to be even more solid on the puck and mix some speed into his game by getting stronger and doing more specific endurance and stamina training in the gym. Puck Handling - Typically the puck doesn't stay on Carti's stick for long, so coaches would like to see a bit more in his artillery when it comes to control and dekeing. Over the course of his first VHLM season Carti also strives to improve this area of his game.

Pouza is my player that is most forgotten lol. Crazy bad record to hold but kinda funny . I wish I knew more about him because I really barely remember that player at all.

Atlas with a fairly mid career boosted by playing 9 seasons with 1 franchise.

Yeah dispersal draft is definitely the most sensible route. Also creates an extra element of excitement for an off-season that will likely be drawn out slightly longer while changes are made.
