Otto Numminen 60 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone! Hoping you're having a good day. Earlier today, I was looking at the S80 VHL Entry draft and I saw that pretty much every top player in this draft started this year pretty strong and I am curious to see who will be drafted 1st overall! And by this moment, I had the idea to made my own Mock Draft (Top 5 for the first one and top 10 after). I'm just going to do another Mock draft a few times during S79 so I can see which prospects went up in my Mock draft and which dropped. Let's start and enjoy! 1-Xavier Boomberry Goalie/ Houston Bulls/ 6'6"/ 249lb./ 222 TPE This american goalie is having a great start in Houston with a 911 SV% and a 2.50 GAA. He's big and he's playing like a potential franchise goalie on a rebuiding team. I can see him going at the number one spot only if the team with the 1st overall pick need a goalie. He also made the WJC a year before his VHL draft year which is pretty good. If he continue to be that good, he'll go 1st overall. 2-Matty Fire Center/ Miami Marauders/ 6'4"/ 215lb./ 199 TPE Fire is a great Center this year and he's developping pretty fast, averaging 15 to 25 TPE per week. A lot of team would love to get an all around Center like him, he's big, he's a good skater and he can play a good 200 foot game whit a lot of offensive pottential. With a great 8 points in 7 games, he's maybe not the 2nd best player of the draft but he has the best potential. I can see him going out 2nd overall. 3- Kyle Peace Left Wing/ Saskatoon Wild/ 5'11"/ 180lb./ 208 TPE Peace is having a great year with Saskatoon, having 5 goals, 11 points in only 8 games. He's a little bit smaller but he can play with grit and he can be great at offense and defence. One of his goal was on the PK due to his great vision on the ice and his high Hockey IQ. Peace have the potential to be a 1st line Left Wing in the VHL and that is why I put him a the 3rd spot. 4-Hari Singh Nalwa Defenceman/ Miami Marauders/ 6'8"/ 205lb./ 178 TPE Nalwa is an offensive deffenceman who doesn't neglect his defensive size of the game. Probabely the best power play specialist on this list with his great shot and his great hockey IQ, he's also pretty solid on defence and he can also play a physical game when a forward is near the boards. Right now, I see him going at number 4 but he can easily be picked in the top 3. 5-Vinny Detroit Left Wing/ Mississauga Hounds/ 6'8"/ 250lb./ 215 TPE Vinny Detroit is a big forechecking left wing who isn't scare (with how bid he is, it's the other players who should be scared) to play a phisycal game. He's already at 30 hits in only 8 games. The only things, Detroit need to improve a little bit his offensive size of the game to be more complete and for a forechecking forward like him, he's not the best at defence but I'm sure he will work on that and if he will, a lot of manager would love to get him and I will probabely put him at the 3rd or 4th slot. 605 words Edited July 27, 2021 by Otto Numminen I accidentaly posted it and it wasn't done Ricer13, CowboyinAmerica, JB123 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/106435-my-early-s80-vhl-mock-draft/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xflexz 179 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I always enjoy myself a good draft prediction. I think the presentation of it is clean. Maybe adding the players username after their players name would add some more to it. But its a 9/10 piece!

Kisslinger 372 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 9/10 The layout is super clean, information about all the players is good to see, shows that you researched the players. Grammar and spelling are well done. I also think this draft class is super strong and it will be cool to see if you got any predictions right lol!

WHY_Bolts 16 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Nice article. Only thing that's wrong about it is the fact that you forgot the GOAT Link Zhang. Guess I have to prove the doubters wrong. All jokes aside though, the article was good and your opinion is very respectable. 9/10 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/106435-my-early-s80-vhl-mock-draft/#findComment-865080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
