The fourteenth chapter of Baby Bob's life (Special Edition : The VHL and VHLE drafts)

[Baby Boomer 727]

Hello everyone,

 

Welcome to the thirteenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. This chapter will be a special one, we will not really talk about Baby Bob. Effectively, in this chapter we will talk about the multiple drafts that will come in the next week. The VHL draft, VHLE draft and the VHLM draft, but more in particular the VHL and the VHLE drafts.

 

We now know the dates of both of the drafts and today, 19th of september, is the VHL draft at 8PM EST. As you may know, Baby Bob was drafted last season by the Prague Phantoms in the first round, 9th overall to be exact. Prague made the playoffs, but only the tiebreaker series. It was a 3 out of 5, so the first team to win 3 games would win and the Phantoms lost in four games. With this loss, the Prague Phantoms will draft 7th overall with their first round pick. I know that I am not diamond_ace or Lilmar, but I will still give my opinion on who the team should draft.

 

The team needs prospects at each position, but they definitely need a defenceman more than anything. Of course Corey Kitson would be my first choice and by far, but when you look at his stats from last season and his number of TPE, i doubt that he will still be available at the 7th pick. In a more realistic world, two players should be taken into consideration, Hari Singh Nalwa and Alessandro Nano.

 

Hari was drafted 9th overall last year by the Miami Marauders. He had 71 assists and 102 points in 72 games, he also won the Founder’s Cup and had 23 points in 18 games. Hari Singh Nalwa is currently playing with Team World in the S79 World Juniors Championship and is at 7 points in 8 games. For his part, Alessandro was drafted 2th overall also by the Miami Marauders. He made 58 points in the regular season and 16 points in the playoffs. He is playing with Team Europe and put up 4 points in 8 games. 

 

Now that we talked about the VHL draft, it is time to talk a little bit about the first ever VHLE draft. Baby Bob is eligible and I will make my prediction on where he will be drafted and by who. Two teams reached out to him, the Rome Gladiators and the Bratislava Watchmen. I do believe that one of these two teams will draft him. We need to take in consideration that there are only six teams, so only six players will be drafted each round. With that being said, I think that Baby Bob will go out between the end of the second round and the beginning of the fourth round.

 

Thanks for reading this special edition and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob.
