    vincentlg2007 reacted to tcookie in S91 Draft - Top 20 Prospects (by TPE)   
    With the S90 regular season in the rearview mirror, some teams shift focus to a playoff run while others - those in the rebuilding state - will instead shift their focus to draft day. The S91 VHL Entry Draft will feature a solid crop of young prospects looking to take the next step in their hockey careers, including a surprisingly large presence from Greenland. Let's take a look at the upcoming draft's top-20 ranked prospects and how they fared during their S90 campaigns.
    Notes: TPE counts are as of the week ending September 24th. the "Central Scouting Rank" is just rank by TPE. The "Victory Prospect Network Rank" also mentioned is slightly different ... partially based on earning rates & partially just changed up for fun, because strictly ranking by TPE is kind of boring.
     

    @N0HBDY
    Central Scouting Rank: 1 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 1
    One of the S90 draft's three S91 prospects playing in the VHLE this season, Reingaard found himself buried in the lineup of a very strong team and averaged just a little over 8 minutes of ice time per game. Reingaard finished the season with just 3 goals and 4 points in 72 games, but the fact that a draft-eligible player even managed to get into the Vasteras lineup this season is generally seen as a positive. Reingaard is a good skater who is strong on his skates, has an excellent shot, and has no discernible weaknesses in his game - he has even begun to evolve some face-off ability to potentially play centre at the next level. Reingaard's lack of production should not scare teams off; expect him to hear his name called very early in the S91 draft.

    Central Scouting Rank: 2 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 2
    Spanish Moon Moth spent the year with the Bratislava Watchmen and managed to carve out a regular role, finishing up the season with 27 points, 210 shots, and 132 hits. Moth is particularly responsible defensively for a draft-eligible player and used that defensive acumen to fit right in at the VHLE level. Moth has good offensive instincts, but compared to top prospect Reingaard, is a little better defensively but a little worse offensively.
     

    @Daniel Janser
    Central Scouting Rank: 3 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 3
    The big Swiss-born defenseman Callum Gary Yannick Janer is your prototypical old-school defenseman - physical, nasty, and excellent defensively - blending in some mobility that renders him a royal pain in the butt for VHLM forwards to try to get around. Janser's 48 points is a relatively middling total compared to some of the other draft-eligible defensemen that played in this league this year, but that's because it's not Janser's game - he is clearly the most advanced defensive defenseman in this year's draft class; those 48 points were just a bonus. Piling up a whopping 260 hits, no forward wants to be tasked with entering the zone on Janser's side, and his playstyle will surely serve him well at the next level.
     

    @FrostBeard
    Central Scouting Rank: 4 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 4
    Ironhide might not be the top-ranked prospect on this list, but if we were going just based on the draft year they just had, he would certainly be the first player off the board. The 6'8, 250 pound monster left a trail of destruction in his wake at the VHLM level this season, leading the league with 55 goals, 125 points, and 522 shots. Goaltenders were not the only victims Ironhide claimed as he also racked up 203 hits. At the S90 VHLM awards, it's a sure bet that Ironhide will hear his name called a few times.
     

    @Zetterberg
    Central Scouting Rank: 5 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 5
    The second Reingaard on the list, Reingaard is the most offensively gifted of the three defensemen you'll find at the top of this year's draft class. Reingaard is definitely on the small side (5'9 165) but possesses plenty of talent to make up for it. Reingaard's good all-around offensive skills are highlighted by excellent vision that saw him register 65 assists this year. Despite that, he's plenty comfortable in his own end too, posting a +51 rating for the Marlins while also blocking 132 shots. 
     

    @McWolf
    Central Scouting Rank: 6 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 6
    With Janser and Reingaard, Sunset Moth completes the trio of defensemen that will come off the board very early on in this draft. Like Janser, Moth is excellent defensively but not very developed offensively, however, unlike Janser, Moth is pretty small and lacking in physicality. That said, Moth was the only member of the S91 draft class to secure big minutes in the VHLE this season, taking a regular shift in Bratislava's top-4 and tallying 44 points in 72 games to go along with 143 hits and 167 blocked shots.
     

    @ROOKIE745
    Central Scouting Rank: 7 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 9
    Toby Kadachi is a big forward with some fire to his game. You'd like to see a little more focus to his game - Kadachi really his no weaknesses, but no particularly standout strength - perhaps an above average shot is his calling card. What you do have in Kadachi is a big body that isn't afraid to play the game on the edge. If he does continue to develop his skills, Kadachi is a high-upside player who has some qualities that are a little more rare at the VHL level than just your stereotypical two-way scoring forward.
     

    @Velevra
    Central Scouting Rank: 8 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 8
    Schwarzer was lighting up the VHLM with Houston (25 points in 16 games) before the rebuilding Bulls sent him packing to a contender in Saskatoon. While Schwarzer's production declined a little bit after the trade, he benefitted overall from playing with better teammates and more structure in his game, and still fired off 378 shots while putting up 73 points, becoming a key player on a strong playoff team. Schwarzer is a shoot-first guy who has good hockey IQ and defensive ability, though skating and puck handling are areas that he will need to develop in moving up the VHL ladder.
     

    @InstantRockstar
    Central Scouting Rank: 9 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 11
    The Halifax 21st were not a particularly strong team this year, but that was through no fault of Theo Allard's. A lot was asked of Allard, and he delivered, breaking the 100-point barrier while firing 420 shots on net. Allard is a little light for his 6'3 frame but you wouldn't know it watching him protect the puck as he's very difficult to separate from it. He has also become one of the VHLM's premier face-off guys. Allard will need to develop a little more defensively and is notably a bit of a poor distributor of the puck for a #1 centre, but in general, he has a lot of great tools and should be a mid-first round pick.
     

     
    @Baozi
    Central Scouting Rank: 10 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 12
    Mina is a phenomenal skater and perhaps the most offensively-gifted defender in the draft class; a small but absolutely electric player who was asked to do a lot with relatively minimal help for the Kings this year. Piling up 10 goals and 63 points on a team that didn't do nearly as much scoring as the VHLM's powerhouse teams (Mexico scored just 151 goals), Mina will be a high pick just based on that offensive dynamism, but ultimately will need to get stronger and better defensively in order to make a huge impact at the VHL level.
     

     
    @Masu Chan
    Central Scouting Rank: 11 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 10
    Lionel Collberg's offensive numbers are outstanding - 25 goals and 92 points is a remarkable season for anyone at the VHLM level, not just for a defender. Collberg also tallied 239 shots, 160 hits, and 194 blocked shots while playing over 31 minutes a game for the Miami Marauders. Collberg doesn't jump into the play like Mina does which looks a little less flashy but is more conducive to being available to defend if the play goes back the other way. Collberg's game is actually quite reminiscent of fellow Greenlander, and fellow S91 d-man prospect, Leif Reingaard. 
     

    @Spartan
    Central Scouting Rank: 12 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 7
    Syko led the VHLM in wins, goals-against-average, save percentage, and shutouts - a remarkable feat of excellent netminding. The Marlins did a good job keeping Syko's shot totals low, but nevertheless, you have to make the saves and Syko did a phenomenal job of that. Syko actually plays a little smaller in net than a lot of the S91 goalie prospects and that is something that coaches will try to adjust as he transitions to the VHL level down the road, but Syko is disciplined in his style with excellent reflexes and rebound control and the results are self-evident.
     

    @Lemorse7
    Central Scouting Rank: 13 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 13
    The Hounds and Marlins duked it out for first place throughout the VHLM season, and their goaltending situations rhymed as well, with Red Panda coming up slightly behind Syko in most stats but still putting together a clearly dominant campaign between the pipes. Their styles do have some contract to them, as Panda's biggest weakness is rebound control, which may be Syko's biggest strength. Panda does, however, play bigger and more aggressively in net with excellent reflexes, and might be better at making the initial save.
     

    @KaleebtheMighty
    Central Scouting Rank: 14 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 14
    There are a trio of pretty similarly-ranked goaltending prospects in the S91 draft and Vidarsson, the third of the three, comes in as a something of a hybrid of Syko and Panda. Vidarsson's a bit more well-rounded with no glaring weaknesses, yet comes in a touch below Syko in rebound control and a touch below Panda in raw athleticism. Yet another Greenland-born player pushing for a first round selection, this 6'7 222 pound goalie covers a ton of net and had a strong VHLM campaign in his own right with 44 wins and a .907 SV%.
     

    @Rin
    Central Scouting Rank: 15 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 17
    Generally when you see a defender of Kagamine's stature (5'5, 140) you're looking at an offensive dynamo along the lines of #10-ranked prospect Mina. That is absolutely not the case with Kagamine, who plays a very steady and conservative game but is an excellent defensive player. Kagamine uses a good stick and gap control to keep plays to the outside and is surprisingly strong, but will still need to prove that there won't be an issue handling bigger-bodied VHL forwards when they get going in the offensive zone in order to smoothly transition to the next level.
     

     
    @Berocka
    Central Scouting Rank: 16 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 15
    Mattias is an interesting prospect: he's a straight-up sniper and, at this point in time, doesn't have much else of a toolkit surrounding that shot - hence being limited to just 10 goals and 19 points in the VHLM this year on a strong San Diego team. Mattias is not particularly good defensively, nor a good skater or puck-handler. Shooting, though? That he can do. Mattias might even have the best shot in the draft class. This is a player who works hard, though, and there is reason to believe the rest of the game might come around. If it does - especially with the premium placed on goal scoring at the VHL level - you have a darn good player here.
     

    @UnknownMinion
    Central Scouting Rank: 17 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 18
    A number of highly-ranked S91 prospects congreated on the same few contending teams in the VHLM this year. Minion, on the other hand, was more of a big fish in a small pond for the Philadelphia Reapers. He took on every role he could handle and thrived, scoring 49 goals, 103 points, and even posting a +19 rating with 186 shots and 72 blocked shots - numbers that will even make Minion a candidate to get some votes for the VHLM's Best Defensive Forward award this off-season. Minion has undeniable vision and scoring touch, but may need to develop his puck handling to consistently beat defenders at higher levels.
     

    @ShawnGlade
    Central Scouting Rank: 18 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 19
    Tending the nets for the Miami Marauders this year, Slezak may find himself in a bit of an awkward position given the number of highly-ranked goaltenders in this year's draft, but no doubt there is a VHL-calibre goaltending prospect in here. Another of the more balanced netminder types, Slezak posted a .906 SV% and leads Miami into the post-season with some expectation of a playoff run ahead of them.

    Central Scouting Rank: 19 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 16
    Rave is a big-bodied scorer that stepped into a second-line role on the contending Marlins and put up a surprisingly consistent season playing a variety of different roles. He became a reliable face-off man and penalty killer while maintaining a PPG pace right from the season's first game, finishing up with 74 points and 344 shots. Rave has come a long way in his one VHL season to be knocking on the edge of the first round, and if he continues to improve, he could be a sneaky good pick in this range.
     

    @SirRupertBarnes
    Central Scouting Rank: 20 | Victory Prospect Network Rank: 20
    With 36 points and a -44 rating, Woodworth's VHLM campaign maybe didn't go quite as smoothly as he or the Kings would have liked, but there is a talented offensive player here with good skating and a good shot that he isn't afraid to use. Woodworth's main weakness is that he has some defensive deficiencies in his game that will need to be addressed if he is to one day earn VHL playing time, but for a projected second-round pick, he's definitely got talent.

    The studs in the VHL are putting up some incredible numbers this season.
     
    Todd Cooke from the Los Angeles Stars (LAS) is leading the points category with an astounding 114 points in 69 games. He's closely followed by Jason from the D.C. Dragons (DCD), who has accumulated 112 points over 70 games, making them invaluable assets to their respective teams. John Jameson of Prague (PRG) is holding the third spot with 98 points, while his peer Vincent Laroche-Gagnier (DCD) is just a single point behind, amassing a total of 97 points this season.
     
    Regarding goals, Jason (DCD) again makes his presence known as the top goal-scorer, with a remarkable 54 goals in 70 games. Yaroslav Bogatyrev from the Seattle Bears (SEA) is in the second spot with 45 goals, demonstrating his sharp shooting skills on the ice. Vincent Laroche-Gagnier (DCD), Svatopluk Puk (LAS), and John Jameson (PRG) each have netted 43 goals, showing consistency in their performances and contributing significantly to their teams’ offensive prowess.
     
    In the assists category, Ryuji Sakamoto of the D.C. Dragons (DCD) is leading with an incredible 77 assists in 70 games, showcasing his vision and playmaking ability. Todd Cooke (LAS) follows closely with 73 assists, while Skor McFleury from Davos (DAV) has contributed 68 assists. Jake Thunder also from Davos has been instrumental in setting up goals, recording 67 assists in the season. Bo Johansson from the Chicago Phoenix (CHI) completes the top five in assists with 64 to his name.
     
    It’s crucial to acknowledge the contributions of Toronto Legion players who have made it to the top 10 in these categories. Ronan Lavelle and Mac Atlas are among the top goal-scorers, with Lavelle scoring 40 goals and Atlas closely following with 39. In the assists department, Siyan Yasilievich has made significant contributions with 58 assists, securing the eighth spot in the league leaders. These players have played pivotal roles in Toronto Legion's impressive season, helping secure their position at the top of the North American Conference standings. Their consistent performances will be crucial as the team aims for success in the upcoming playoffs.

    Callum just walked out of the SaskTel Centre after a briefing for the oncoming playoffs. Headphones on, pondering whether he wants to go to the Brevoort Park for a jog. He was just unlocking his car, when he saw a middle-aged man, snatching a hundred dollar bill out of the tiny hands of a six year old, and running away. The kid was clearly shocked and started crying, the accompanying parent was frozen on the spot, more concerned about the youngsters well being than the loss of the money.
    Unfortunately for the aspiring felon, he was paying more attention to potential pursuers than what was going on in front of him. He was running towards Cal. As avid followers of the VHLM may know, the Swiss defender has an iron fist in a chainmail glove. He did not even think about it, but hip-checked the fugitive against his sturdy, solid steel pick-up. The thief then rebounded from the Ford and directly collided with Callum's outstretched lower arm. It felt like running into an anchor cable. The wanna-be thug dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes.  The Calgary native then, turned the suspect belly-down and secured them with some zip-ties he had on the bed of his truck. All while calling the police.
    In the meantime a crowd has assembled, including parent and child, who could not thank Callum enough for his deed. Apparently, the youngster got up early in the morning all summer to do the odd job in the neighbourhood to earn the money for the first hockey stick. The family was struggling already financially and could not afford the coveted equipment otherwise. Callum told them that unfortunately the bill in question would be considered evidence and will not immediately be returned to their rightful Owner. So he opened his wallet and gave the kid two hundred dollars of his own money. Parent and kid alike protested, saying that they only had a hundred dollar to start with. But Cal-Gary would have none of it, and told the kid: 'You know if you come to our practice tomorrow morning, you will need a bucket and some skates as well.' The small family were over the moon and couldn't believe what the Saskatoon player just insinuated. 'I am sure, the other team members will want to meet a kid with so much dedication for icehockey.' And with that (and after giving his statement to the cops) he drove home.

    vincentlg2007 reacted to Gustav in Getting Old In the VHL   
    It wasn't until very recently that this happened, maybe in the past year or so, but I've finally come to terms with being an older VHL member. I've written a ton about how my activity in the league has shifted a bit from when I was 19 and stupid (how many times have you read "I'm not on Discord as much anymore"?) but I also continued to keep a certain regard for those who had been here for, well, still many times longer than I have. They were just the ones that knew better, and I was just Gustav. Even marginally newer people used to tell me all about how they joined in S48 or whenever, and I'd have a bit of a "wow, so long ago!" moment. But I've been here 25 seasons at this point, since S65, and that probably blows some of your minds. It's weird.
     
    I think it became clear to me that I was old here when things started mashing together in my head. I used to know just about every single active member--not only by name, but by profile picture, player, and having talked to them directly. I also used to know every single part of the rulebook and thought it was really weird that some older members didn't really seem to. And I'm not sure when this changed. I still click on Discord every day and open it up to see what's going on, but I don't really feel the need to contribute that I used to, and sometimes whoever is contributing isn't someone I know. I also know of all the good players, but I couldn't tell you who manages half of them. Plus, I see some of your names on the forum (and I'd shout you out if that probably wasn't disrespectful) and I really just...know you exist, and that's it. And on the very rare occasion when I talk about the VHL rulebook, sometimes things are brought up to me that I forgot ever happened to the rulebook, because my idea of the rules is the rules as they were when I was hell-bent on memorizing them.
     
    And then a lot of my cool articles became articles about league history (aside from the one about deleting the E that no one bothered to actually read), because my first days now qualify as league history. Need I say more?
     
    It's also weird because I'm 23. I'm not outside of any of the league's target demographics. I haven't aged out of anything; I just happen to have gotten to the places I wanted to get and made the connections I wanted to make here already. I'd love to get to know some newer members! I just don't think I need to get super involved to be trusted anymore. Besides, real life is a beautiful mess--I'm balancing lab work with classes and TA stuff and being somewhat popular for the first time in my life.
     
    But at the end, I want to make it clear that there's a big difference between getting old--and everything that comes with it--and no longer caring. I still want what's best for the VHL. I still look at the forum every day, and multiple times at that. I'm still available to any GM who wants to talk and sometimes I don't even hate the slightly worse VHLM Commissioner all that much. It's just that I'd rather be making tacos than sitting on Discord and sometimes that also means I decide to claim welfare. I really like tacos.
     
    And the really cool thing? Even though I can't directly tell, I know some of you guys look at me the same way I used to look at our other old guys. Sim league ethos is an interesting thing.

    vincentlg2007 reacted to Boaty in I made a trade reqeust here is why   
    Aurora Skylight going to be traded I wanna tell you this 
     
    Sorry Oslo but I wanna thank you I just wanna say I love playing there hate it there I wanna be in a team that wants me not for depth I wanna be a real player my player a team I can call my team Oslo is not the team I can call my own 
     
    And I have things I wanna know first when I get traded 
     
    So gms lookout 
     
    Why do you want me I just wanna know why and what help I can be to the team
     
    What value I'm worth to you first round or second like that
     
    Most important I can play in the playoffs or a wildcard spot fight 
     
    Those are just the things I wanna know just those things because Oslo is like Arizona to me now
     
    I'm not a player who loves to lose I'm a player for victory I don't belong in Oslo I belong in a team that needs me and not with Oslo and red is not my favorite color you know
     
     
    So no my goodbye to Oslo I think it's my goodbye
     
    This was a fun thing of a season Every assist I made made me happy but the loss gave me pain like a knife in my shoulder happened in Real life to me 
    But I just wanna say forward that I never could be the hype of Oslo I grind my ass off to make the team good the players that are active too but sadly I couldn't do that I'm not a draft sleeping pick or a great steal I wish I could play better it was fun as first but the losing gave me a mini depression I just went crazy like I wanna win/lose/OT win or lose I just wanna be in an air team I wanna move higher and higher not lower and lower I wanna win stuff to and fight for stuff
     
    So sorry Oslo the storm is not with me now and probably not later so here are my problems with the team 
     
    Low quality 
     
    Nobody grinds like me for tpe
     
    I don't see growth 
     
    It's not my team 
     
    And we are not playing with chemistry like we don't find the fit of our play style 
     
    So I talked a lot about this but we got 2 players that are active in my eyes
     
    And someone I can't remember but we're doing stuff actively like getting TPE We got like also have members that do like 6 TPE and down and want to be a champion to lift A TROPHYY I WANNA BE A CHAMP THAT SHOWS THE RING ON THE FINGER I WANNA SHOW PEOPLE IM A STAR
     
    It's just boring to be on the losing side I feel like Harry Kane of the VHL so where is my GOAT STATUS I wanna make that my state and make people's mouths drop every day so come one team show that you want Aurora skylight
