What the Future holds for Bastian Greiss

 

 

Intro

Bastian Greiss came fresh into the league around the half way mark of season 77. After being picked up by the Mexico City Kings, Greiss went on to play 39 games. While the Kings didn’t make the playoffs, Greiss finished the season with an impressive ,892 save percentage and 3.55 goals against average accompanied by 2 shutouts. While Bastian didn’t have much luck win-wise, he finished the season among the top 10 goalies in the league and created quite a buzz for himself going into the VHL and VHLM drafts.

 

Drafts

Going into the draft, Bastian Greiss was said to be one of the top 3 goalies to go first in the draft, most likely in the first round. In the leagues official mock draft, Bastian was listed to go 14th overall in the VHL draft to the Warsaw Predators. But in the days leading to the draft, many, assumed he would actually go a little but higher than that and have a shot at going to a different team. During the week before the draft, Bastian Greiss sat down to many interviews by both VHL and VHLM teams, and while he wasn’t set in where we wanted to go, he was happy to be receiving so much attention. The first draft to come was the VHL draft which saw many great players being picked off by some of the top teams, and finally, with the 12th pick in the first round, London United picked Bastian, 2 spots above what the mock draft had predicted. London finished 2nd overall in the regular season last year right behind the Warsaw Predators giving Bastian Greiss a great potential in the near future. London already has a strong goaltender tandem between Jacob Tonn, and Kloxified, but with Tonn retiring at the end of this season, its gives Bastian Greiss and fellow goaltending prospect Dexter Vaughn a great opportunity to compete to fill the empty space in the London roster. 
After the VHL draft, came the VHLM dispersal draft where Bastian was hoping to end back in Mexico City where he had grown accustom to the life and team management. With the 6th overall pick the draft, Mexico City picked Greiss as their first pick of the draft sending Greiss back home to Mexico City. Mexico City didn’t do well last season, but with a bigger and better roster this year, they are hoping to make a run for playoffs with Bastian Griess front-and-center in the starting goaltender role. 

 

Season 78 so far…

Season 78 is off to a good start with 11 games already completed. As for Mexico City and Bastian Greiss, Mexico City has only won 3/10 of their games played slotting them in at 8th out of the 12 VHLM teams with Halifax dominating the league with an impressive 11-0-0 record so far. As for Bastian Greiss, it has been a decent start to the season with a 8.88 save percentage and 4.33 Goals against average. While Mexico City is once again struggling, we expect great things from Bastian Greiss as he plays his final season in the VHLM.

Always interesting to read comments and thoughts regarding the draft and draft experience. I think the text is easy to read and put together nicely. There is a  slight spacing issue right in the middle, but overall no major concerns.

 

The ''picture'' at the bottom is a nice idea. However, counting the words could become an issue for reviewers/updaters if you move over to different formats. A picture of some kind at the top could be a cool touch, minor spacing ''problem'' in the middle, other than that - a solid article!
