Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of VSN's seasonal Future Watch series release.  I'm your resident head scout MattyIce and this article is doubly special for myself.

We get to cover another season of prospects and teams gearing up for the VHL and also, I'll have a special privileged announcement to make!

Another draft has come and gone, and many players have found themselves here; in a prospect pool.

The grind has begun to get to the big show and we're here to show you who's where and who's going to enter the VHL in seasons to come.

 

With many GM changes this offseason, my associate @fonziGG applied for, and accepted the Vancouver Wolves GM job.

Thank you for your contributions and best of luck at your new position!  It was a pleasure hiring you and working alongside you.

 

With his departure, I decided to post TWO job openings to round out our Central Scouting department.

While there was alot of interest, I chose two members that have created waves of positive energy throughout the VHL.

These two have simply shown excellent professionalism throughout  their tenures and it's awesome to have them on board.

It's my pleasure to introduce @RedSus and @Spartan.

 

Spartan:  Cheers folks, thrilled to be part of VSN's scouting department.

I think most of you know me, but for those who don't, I am the GM of the Moscow Menace, former GM of the Las Vegas Aces and also an updater.

I've always enjoyed scouting as a GM, and I think that it's always important to keep an eye on the next generation of potential VHL superstars.

We've worked very closely together to evaluate and analyze every team's active prospect pool, and we're excited to share our work with you!

 

RedSus: Hello everybody i'm RedSus, i'm very excited to be joining VSN scouting and look forward to providing content for you.

Scouting has always been an interest of mine ever since joining the league so I definitely look forward working with Matty and Spartan on upcoming projects.

I wish all of the prospects reading this the best and hope you all enjoy this article!

 

Let's see how the teams around VHL are gearing up for the future, shall we?

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Calgary is facing a new era in their lengthy history, headlined by the hiring of Ricer as their new GM after Jubis stepped down at the end of S76. Sitting at 14th in the overall standings, Calgary is definitely looking to the future to try to get this team into a competing position again. The team immediately addressed their defense core in the most recent draft, selecting Rolf Fizzlebeef Jr. at 7th overall, and then Joe Madison at 14th overall. Fizzlebeef was VHL ready at the time of the draft, and has performed very well so far during this regular season. Madison looks to be called up next season, as well as S76 selection Markuss Puhovs. The question will be how they will make room for these stellar defenseman, with no pending UFA's or retirees on their current defense core. Look for GM Ricer to try to move a player like Kosmo Kramerev at the trade deadline. Russell Dixon, their 3rd round pick looks to come up in S79, and the team will look for him to develop a bit offensively with just 2 points in 26 games in the minors. Goalie ClapbombsRUs looks to come up next season as well and take over the backup goalie spot.

The Phoenix are all in on the cup and looking to defend their title, but their players are aging rapidly. Chicago is going to face dark days with only a few prospects in their system to replace their aging core. Their entire active prospect system is made up purely of defensemen, even though their defense core is relatively young. Sportsboy57 is progressing slowly, so he could be called up to the VHL in S79. Vasiliy Grigorev, the last pick of the 2nd round in the S77 class has the highest potential out of the prospects in the system, although he will likely only make the jump up in S79 as well. New Player could be the sole prospect to come up in S78, but despite being a strong defenseman in the VHLM, he still needs time to become a VHL caliber defenseman.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	DC is facing a bit of a conundrum this season, as they entered the season with aspirations to contend for the championship again. However, a lack of depth and a reliance on their defensive depth and a few superstars has them sitting in last place in the VHL. Although this may not be the season they win it all, their prospect pool looks very solid. Both Nilsson and Henchoz are ready to make the jump to the VHL next season, and should provide strong depth for a Dragons squad that may embrace the rebuild. Creed, the 24th overall pick in the S77 draft, is the crown jewel of this prospect group, with fantastic development each week and averaging almost a point per game with Halifax in the VHLM. Look for him to be ready to make the Dragons roster in S78. Jah Coon is also having a resurgence in his career, seemingly things have clicked for him. He's made massive improvements since S75, and could be a strong prospect who's ready to come up in S79.

General Manager Gustav Mattias openly accepted that it was time to start the rebuild on Davos after some underwhelming seasons. Despite owning the top 2 picks of the S72 draft, Davos just never broke the curse to become a contender. Luckily for the organization, they have plenty of prospects that could come up in the next few seasons and potentially snap the draught. Reylynn Reinhart, the 2nd overall pick in the draft has already come up to the VHL, and fellow first round pick Miles Johnson is in prime position to join his fellow draft mate in the VHL next season. Following closely behind him will be S77 2nd round forward Griff Mackenzie and TheCHEESE, as well as 3rd rounder Declan Wolf, all making significant progress as they hope to join Davos' core for the next few seasons. Defensemen Raphael Sonier and Ezechiele Pierde Enel look to be slightly longer term projects, but the two offensive minded defensemen both project to come up in S79, where GM Gustav will have to make tough choices who he will keep as part of his defense core. Later round picks Raihan Heavems, Emile Clouet and Lochlan Chisholm will have their work cut out for them with so many top tier prospects to be competing with, but increased commitment from the young forwards can easily earn them a slot on the pro roster in S79. 60th overall pick Sean Ramirez may be one of the steals of the draft, selected with the 5th to last pick, but already playing like folks selected in the 3rd round. This group will be very competitive, and expect the players to use each other as motivation to make it to the big leagues. Perhaps that mindset will help them change the course of Davos history!

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Helsinki is firmly in the middle of a playoff push, sitting towards the top of the league standings through 25 games played. Despite posessing a roster that of a contender, they've managed to maintain a strong balance between youth and veteran players. Unlike some other contenders in the league, Helsinki is armed with a strong prospect group, albeit mildly top heavy. Forwards Gustislav Nasherov and Jonny Pacheco from Missisauga are primed to make the jump to the main roster next season, with both bringing strong, balanced games to the Titans. Goalie Luke Spinelli could also come up, but we will see if General Manager Jubis will elect to keep the youngster in the minors for another season as they still have Zamboni Driver and Trent Gibson on the roster. Defenseman Elvis Michael has shown strong improvement, but may need a second season in the minors to further develop his game. The same can be said for winger Slick Dasher, who is almost certain to come up after S78. Young center Bryn Yrwy is a bit of a wild card, but a very strong defensive player. He'll need to make strides in his offensive game in order to make the cut and play in the big leagues.

After going out and acquiring some big names in the off season London has found themselves in the middle of a tight playoff race improving vastly from last season. While there pursuit for immediate success has left there pool of prospects relatively thin, it does not mean there nothing to be excited for if your London United. Dexter Vaughn, a goaltender drafted in season 76 by London is a near VHL ready prospect who needs a little fine tuning before he can make the jump to the bigs. He has made consistent strides to improve his game in the VHLM and I don't think it is a stretch to expect him joining London's goaltending group as soon as next season. Another prospect to look forward to is Gabby Dugan who like Dexter Vaughn has been steadily improving though the past couple seasons. Dugan is enjoying a breakout season in the VHLM having already matched her point total from last season. Dugan may need at least another season to make the jump to the VHL but she's definitely a prospect to keep an eye on for London. Lastly there is Hendrix Cobberson who is enjoying by far his most successful season to date. Drafted 81st in S75 Cobberson has shown this season that he has the potential to make to the VHL. Like Dugan after one more strong season of development we could see Cobberson crack the London United roster.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	After multiple seasons of disappointment the Los Angeles Stars have finally found success in the VHL. They've done this with a roster filled with stars and yet they have managed to gather one of the best group of prospects in the league. There prospect pool is highlighted by S77 18th overall pick Trevor Wallace who is producing at a point per game pace in the VHLM along with S75 98th overall pick Kikko Moskinen. Both players without a doubt will join LA next season where could aim to be even stronger. Other prospects who have a chance at joining LA next season include Ron World Peace III who's producing nearly a point per game as a defenseman, Ghengis Khan who's currently 8th in VHLM scoring and Davey Jones Jr. All three players have a chance at making LA's roster next season if not the one after that. Additionally, season 77 picks kman, Jocke Jockesson and Ashton Hauff could all be very valuable players in the future with a season more or two of experience. Last but not least LA's one goalie prospect is expected to make his VHL debut next season. With a 0.9 save% Barry Taffe has the second highest save percentage in the VHLM by goalies who've played over 5 games. He's doing this while playing on a below average Ottawa team which makes his numbers that more impressive.

With new GM Hylands at the helm Malmo is in the middle of a tight playoff race in the EU looking to return to the post season for the first time since they won the continental cup. There current roster holds a lot of depth much like there collection of prospects who are set to supply Malmo with talent for seasons to come. Two of there bright young players could aid Malmo's efforts as soon as the beginning of S78, The great and Bradley Senjo are both centers in the VHLM who are having phenomenal seasons with there respective teams as there 2nd and 3rd in the M in scoring respectively. Malmo then holds a plethora of young talent from the S77 draft who could all turn out to be impact players. Joshooo was drafted 26th overall after breaking out as a superstar in the VHLM last season. JaredN Jr has shown consistent improvement in his game, Baldar Poulsen has had a very good season at almost a point per game and Zeljko Ranogajec has already surpassed his point totals from his rookie year. These 4 players could make a push to make the VHL next season as they all have shown there potential this season. Kirby Pandora and Tyler Steel are other good prospects in the Nighthawks pipeline who should be in the conversation for making this team in S79. 63rd overall pick Apollo will also need at least 1 or 2 years of development before we can see his name on the back of a Malmo Nighthawks jersey.

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	The Moscow Menace have entered a new era after unloading many of their best players in favour of draft picks and other assets. They have also transitioned to new management lead by the freshly minted General Manager Spartan. After selling off some high level assets, Moscow managed to stockpile a good amount of bright young prospects to aid there team in the future, some of which have already made the jump to the VHL. With Atreides and Idaho already establishing themselves in the league, Moscow can now look forward to their many other prospects who may join the team next season. Among these players include S77 top prospect Kyle Glass who was selected 22nd overall last season and is off to an impressive start this season; at 17 goals already he is only 2 tallies away from matching his previous total with two thirds of the season left to play. He along with S75 forwards Owen Taylor and Grapes with the addition of S76 defensemen Shaggy Tipton should all expect to make Moscow's roster for next season. Moscow's prospect pool is then rounded out by names such as Bahram Kamkar, who could make his debut as soon as S79 and forwards such as Duncan Montana, Brent Skimmer and Giles Sweeney who all may need some seasoning before making the jump to the VHL. Additionally, goaltender Andrew Bowman has shown a lot of promise in the VHLM and could be ready to join Moscow's goalie tandem in S78. All in all, Moscow won't be short on depth in the future as they have a number of VHL worthy players on the rise.

New York has made significant steps in their rebuild, adding high octane talent like Rhynex Entertainment, Red Lite and up and coming goalie Thadius Sales in the past few drafts. While the squad isn't in the basement of the league anymore, they still have a decent ways to go to be considered a top contender. Luckily for them, they have a strong prospect pool to utilize over the next two seasons. Calvin Hobbes is a lock to come up in S78, although with the center depth of New York, may end up playing a wing as a well-rounded forward. S77 draft picks Tanky, Aldwin Craig and The Loch Ness Monster have a chance to come up next season, but GM Esso Drunkmann may elect to have them continue their development in the VHLM for another season. Older winger Craig Martin has been making consistent progress over past few seasons, but he may have to wait until S79 to get the opportunity to play in the pros. 55th overall pick Jordan Heavens is also likely to to come up in S79 or S80, as the sniper still has room to develop his skating game and defensive IQ. Look to see this young roster possess some dangerous depth across their roster by S79.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	The Phantoms are enjoying a strong start to the season, sitting at 4th overall in the standings. While the team has long been led by Thomas Landry II, a changing of the guards appears to be in order with Prague's young forwards establishing themselves in the league. With most of their recent selections already in the big leagues, Prague has just 4 members in their prospect pool. Most exciting of the bunch is surely Willy Myers, a true sniper over a point per game in the minors. The young forward has found the back of the net 19 times in just 24 games. Fellow S76 draftee Chicken Nugget is having a breakout year, tallying 30 points in 27 games, so look for him to be on the roster in S79. Nicholas Mariani, GM Jason Glasser's sole pick in the S77 draft has developed very nicely, exceeding expectations and locking in a spot on the pro roster in S79 as well. S72 defenseman Joakim Lund may never be called up to the pros, but has enjoyed a very successful career as a veteran in the minors.

GM Benjamin Zeptenberg's draft strategy since the S74 selloff has been successful for the seasons since, and the youth that has carried over is even still impressive. S75 pick Noah Mashford should finally graduate after four seasons in the VHLM. His production and progress have steadied over the past two seasons, although this snipers' defensive game does still need alot of work. Recent 1st round pick Jan Hlozek chose to stay in the M for another season to dominate and learn the game more and next season he'll be ready to play in a top 4 role quite comfortably. Forward Miks Sunish, defenseman Chris P Bacon and goalies Morgan Karlsson and Kuba Fleury are still somewhat of a question mark to be VHL ready next season, so Riga management has eyes on those youngers as well. As for looking down the road, more prospects look to flood in during the S79 season, and they'll have depth at every position. At least two players should graduate next season, but that could inflate to six, with prospects like goalie Darcy Cat, winger Mikhail Johanssen and defensemen Jere Suominen, still developing, and selections to make at the draft; Riga sure has a very strong draft-and-develop strategy that's very impressive. As of this writing, Riga has six more selections to make at the upcoming draft, including Toronto's 1st round pick, so it could be a season to fill the prospect pool even more.

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	The once dominant Seattle Bears have taken a step back in terms of competing for a cup, but have made strong strides to put together the next core of the future. Only 3 of their roster players have undergone depreciation, and most of their core is S74 or younger, with plenty of prospects in the pool. 4 players could be called upon to make the jump up in S78, including forwards Alexander the Great, Delving Mackey and Guy Lambert, along with their S77 2nd round selection of defenseman Nixon Caldwell. Lanbert and Macket are both strong offensively, with Mackey possessing a very disciplined game. Alexander the Great is well-rounded, establishing himself as a sold playmaker, while Nixon Caldwell is developing nicely into the puck-moving defenseman archetype. S75 winger Gaspar Zakrevsky may also be in the mix next season, but he may need another season to deveop his overall game. Fellow S77 2nd round pick Innunnguaq Kiak will most certainly stay in the minors for another seson much to the thrill of the Yukon Rush, as the young defenseman has tremendous offensive potential, netting 23 points in just 13 games after being traded from the Missisauga Hounds.

Toronto has had some recent draft success, with Jolly Greene Giant, Scotty Kaberle, Frank Funk Jr. and Asher Reinhart within the past three drafts, and GM Rylan Peace has also been wheeling and dealing, giving his roster a fresh new look. This leaves his prospect pool quite empty, so the only two drafted players here are forwards Nikita Wolf and Silas Messner. Wolf is a playmaking winger, playing his first full season in the VHLM with the Minnesota Storm. He's playing in a depth role for them and he's producing steadily. He should be ready for the bigs when season 79 comes around. Silas Messner's development has stalled since training camp, but that happens sometimes with later round selections. He's a centerman that does have good physical fundamentals, but he's clueless in his own zone and in the faceoff circle, which is a glaring deficiency for a centerman. The Legion only have four selections to make in the next two drafts, and no first round picks either. Perhaps GM Peace makes a move to get more picks or prospects, or he makes the best selections he can with what he has.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Vancouver is another team that just went through a GM swap, but it's no secret that previous GM Keaton Louth had success with the draft and develop approach. Newly-minted GM Ted Mosby inherits a franchise that is deep pretty much everywhere. Next season's graduating class might see no less than six players move up the Wolves' roster. S76 second round pick Napoleon Bonaparte himself is the most anticipated new arrival next season. The playmaking centerman has the goods to fill in at a depth position next season, while last season's first round pick Barron Kruulenstein is producing, assists, at a higher rate. He's still looking for his first goal in Minnesota, but his defensive development has been pretty amazing. Wingers Darryl McDagg and Gary Tarantino II are two snipers that are eyeing the VHL as well, but McDagg has been the more productive one, whereas Tarantino is just a bit further along in his development. Fellow winger and sniper Kid Frost is in his third VHLM season and is finally producing in Houston. He's another forward that wants the call up. Defenseman Roger Jone is also in his 3rd season, but it's still too soon to tell if he's gonna be ready for the S78 Wolves. His progress has been slow, but steady. Lorgo Pompronkimishkonov is most likely to be a career VHLMer, like the dart agency's previous player, Florent Vericel.

Warsaw is a stacked team, but they are slowly aging. With many players entering their prime, GM Damien Walec has his work cut out for him. There are only three players in the Predators' system, most notably, the most recent first round selection, Hadrian. He's a defenseman who's very close to being ready for the big league, and finally getting the ice time to produce in Halifax. He's build very solid and within the meta, so he can slot in right away and help the Warsaw defense corps starting next season. Cup winning goalie Jonathan Bustard has recently returned to form with Halifax and could be ready soon as well if he remains consistent in his earning. S77 third round selection Donnie Talifero, teammate of Bustard, is becoming a very solid defenseman and skater, but he's more likely going to need another season in the M. The Predators have four selections upcoming, so Walec has the luxury of building up his future with the S78 Entry Draft.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA
