1. The VHL draft has come to a conclusion, seeing a plethora of new faces join the Americans, most notably first round picks @Velevra and @JohnOQuinn. How do you feel we made out.
I'm obviously biased here but I thought NY has a great draft and made 2 very good picks!
2. FA ended with a distinct lack of contracts being signed with the Americans, how do you feel this impacts our upcoming season?
It probably means that NY isn't a true contender but that's alright. I expect the young players to step up and have good seasons to make sure the team is still decently competitive.
3. The off-season is coming to a close, and rosters look pretty set in stone. How do you predict the season to pan out across the board?
I expect us to make the playoffs and hopefully put up a decent showing in it but ultimately fall short.
4. Who do you think has the biggest offseason this “year”?
I think Malmo and Moscow both had some good FA signings. Should be interesting to see those two teams battle it out.
5. What was the biggest surprise from the VHL draft in your opinion?
Once again I'm probably biased but I would say my own player falling to 4th Overall
6. What’s your boldest prediction for next season (player awards, team positions, etc.)?
Soren Jensen will win Rookie of the Year in dominant fashion!
