kareykoala 62 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks mostly to a plethora of first round draft day selections in the S39 VHLM Dispersal Draft, the Ottawa Lynx look to be the most skilled team in VHLM history with 5/6 Forwards in the first two lines having to stall development in order to be eligible to play in the minors this season. If those players were to continue development, each of them would have had to spend their next season playing for their parent squad. The dynamic mix of offensively gifted forwards are going to be a very daunting opposition this upcoming season. The formidable forward grouping consist of, the VHL 1st overall pick James Faraday, VHLM 1st overall pick Aksel Thomassen, the next great one in Thomas O'Malley, the second year Ottawa stud Andrew Erikson, and last but not least, the Captain Leo Tesla. One can argue that the team is very front heavy, as their defensemen lack the same pedigree as their top 6. That being said, the Lynx are in no way lacking in the defensive department as the top pair of Jack Ryan and Jerrick Poole bless the Lynx with an elite level defensive pairing. Only the Sakatoon Wild with Mason Richardson/Gunzerker Salvador combine for a better pairing. They are indeed looking for another player, hopefully somebody with a history of excellence to join Razzle Dazzle on the second pairing, but the skill level at this point will win them games and shut down opposing first line players. The Lynx, rather than taking Richardson as they were expected to in the first round, opted to draft the much needed Goalie in Soren Douffet. Although Douffet is indeed a project player, his work ethic as well as potential project him to be the best goalie to come out of this draft. The VHLM as well as VHL, unique to the leagues specifically, use a very accurate TPE system to grade players. The Lynx lineup consists of the highest overall TPE accumulation prior to any season in history of the league.
