Shots shots shots shots shots Shots, everybody!!!! 4. someone to score all of our goals would be helpful. 5. I'm gonna say Moscow 6. hopefully not miss as many shots as I did last season lol.

I am applying

Getting the call up form the Boss @Enorama was an exciting call to say the least. Coming into the season Adison didn't want to get too exited for the season but at the same time was ready to prove to others that he can play in the VHL. Playing in all 72 games, Adison was able to put up 5 Goals, 8 Assist, 13 Points, and a 25 +/-. Being his rookie year the nerves got to him. Although he was able to play in all the games he was the backup to Darth Kaprizov. This is essential to Bond's growth. Being able to play behind a seasoned veteran is a great way to get better. Consider Aaron Rogers watching Brett Farve play all those games. Even though the season has come to an end Bond will continue pushing himself to become better. Tune in next year to see his improvements in action. Big things are coming!

You caught me! *Gasp*

S83 OTTAWA LYNX CAPTAINS With the 83rd season getting under way I want to take the time and make an announcement on the new Ottawa Lynx Captains. These players will lead the Lynx and transform tragedy into triumph. A - James Marino ( @Adrest245 ) Marino is backbone to the team. Very dependable. When the team is breaking down everyone looks at Marino to pick us back up. It is Marino's second season as a Lynx and we couldn't be happier that they decided to stay for one more season. A - Jean Mercier ( @Is_thatok ) What is a leader without having your goalie there to help. Mercier is there for his team and always has been. One of the most active players on the team and continuing to get better. Starting out the season great with a 0.918 SV%!! A - Mikayev Ivanovitch ( @Mikayev Ivanovitch ) Lastly but not least we have Mikayev Ivanovitch. Another player that decided to stay with the Lynx even though they got drafted by the Rush and the Americans. Mikayev is our offensive machine scoring 41 goals and 41 assist last season. We look forward for another productive season from Mikayev again. These are the assistant captains for the 83rd season. The Captain of the team will be named in the coming future! We look forward for another productive year for the team and get back to the winning ways that is engraved into our history!! #GOLYNX

Today I am going to be looking back at the VHL draft and how I think it played out and which teams came out on top. When you think of the draft one of the first things that come to mind are prospects. But in the VHL prospects can mean someone that is going from VHLM to VHLE or in this case VHLM to VHL. With that being said when looking at the VHL Draft you have a mix of prospects and rookies. 16. New York Americans Talk about a gamble. 12 picks in the draft. WOW! The Americans are focusing on their future but at what cost? I say a gamble because at the moment the Americans have 23 prospects on their roster. But when you look at their team you see 6 Forwards lead by the big man Jerome Reinhart. With only one Defender and one goalie. I think the Americans focused too much on the future in this draft and not enough on what their team looks like now. They are going to have to focus on FA's and try to grab players that are running out of contracts. Through all that I hope the gamble pays off. We will have to look back in 3 to 5 seasons. 15. Chicago Phoenix Now the only reason that I am putting Chicago in 15th is the lack of picks that they had in this draft. Even though they did get Scotty Sundin with the 1st overall pick at 428 TPE I think it was a great pick. But when I think of the draft, the future is what comes to mind. With only 8 players on their roster and a total of 6 prospects. I think that Chicago is gonna have to rely on making trades in the future in order to get out of the funk that they had last season. Ending the season with a record of 6-61. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. 14. Warsaw Predators Warsaw is focused on S84. You can tell because most of their picks were traded for players that are on their roster right now. I like this approach because their roster is a bunch of good players. Not ones that are 1000 TPE but ones that are 850 - 400 TPE. Which creates a solid team. With their first pick in the draft they went with a solid pick in Sock Monkey. I think Monkey is a great pick for the future. They were a great addition to my JST team since they are consistent earners and I think have a future in the VHL it just might take time. But that is what the Predators (sounds bad lol) don't have. They needed to focus on the now and that is what they were able to do in trading their picks away in the season for players that are going to help them in S84. For now I will stop there and continue in another part coming soon. Hopefully you understand what I was thinking when ranking these teams. These are all my opinions and most likely are wrong. I might make changes but for now these are the 14 - 16 ranked teams on my list for the VHL in terms of how the Draft went.
