VHLwhat 48 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Bobby Ricky scouted by VHL teams? When Bobby Ricky entered the VHLM, it wasn’t even talked about in the media as he was a high school hockey player that had the ability to shoot the puck but his lack of other hockey skills as well as his off field antics led him to not even be recruited by the smallest of hockey college programs. With no other options to earn a living, Ricky entered the VHLM with the smallest of expectations and lived up to those scoring a measly six points in 34 games, while scoring only two goals. However, Bobby Ricky has improved dramatically from his first few games and may have caught the eyes of VHL teams as he is in the draft pool for their upcoming draft. Amid last week’s article on Bobby Ricky’s crazy night out, teams that see that may look away from his young and crazy lifestyle on top of his average skill set, but he has shown signs that his potential is high. He could become one of the best goal scorers in the VHL if a team can get him focused on hockey instead of the other sex, which may be an impossible task for teams. One weird thing also for Bobby Ricky is that he will be a part of two drafts, the VHL draft and the VHLM draft (which is where he should be playing next season). While it may seem weird to most that a player will be in two different drafts in the same offseason doesn’t know how the VHL system works because this is something that all players go through as the VHL team drafts their rights and the VHLM team gets their rights for their league. While Bobby Ricky has made it be known that he wishes he wasn’t in the VHL draft this offseason, he still knows that he has to keep improving to eventually get the call up to the pros and play for whatever VHL team has his rights. With the playoffs in full force and the draft approaching, many scouts have been spotted at Blades games, not really to see Bobby but he’s there so they fill out the scouting report. Most see him as a mid-round prospect that will become a serviceable player in the VHL with time but don’t expect him to win any awards or become a first-line player. Also, many scouting reports list that he is too risky of a prospect to draft as his attitude and immaturity could cause him to get suspended or cause him to not develop as well as they would like. Either way, nobody looks at Bobby Ricky as being a top-flight prospect, especially in one of the best drafts in VHL history. Currently, Bobby Ricky and the Blades are down 2-1 in the playoffs to the Wild and Ricky hasn’t looked great in any of the three games so far. The Blades could get a quick exit from the playoffs if things don’t change soon and Bobby Ricky could play a small part in any success that the Blades reach. Hopefully, the Blades and Ricky can turn it around and win this series and the VHLM championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Content: 3/3 Pretty solid write up of your player. VHL teams are always looking at players who are active. Of course it's hard to determine your position in the draft due to trades. Nice Adam Sandler photo. Grammar: 2/2 Nothing really stood out to me Appearance: 1/1 Final: 6/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
