Quick Look at the VDraft

[der meister 3,183]

With the VHL Draft coming up soon, I wanted to do a quick peek at the top prospects based on TPE. Interestingly, looking at the current TPE totals, it seems like there will be 7 players north of the 300 mark, with 2 of them being goaltenders Matt Murdock and Henry Tucker Jr. The next highest below 300 is also a goaltender in Jesse Teno. Just below Teno? two more goaltenders in Karl Pederson and Geoff Bezos. In total, based on current TPE counts, 5 of the top 10 prospects are netminders, which is frankly staggering to consider. Only 1 of the top 10, Phil Strasmore, is a blueliner, and only John Jameson at the faceoff dot. 

 

What this will lead to, in my opinion, is one of the most unpredictable VHL Drafts in years. It wouldn't be shocking to see a goalie taken in the late 2nd round who ends up being a top tier netminder for years to come.

These next couple Drafts will be VERY kind to teams needing some goaltending help

To excess, though. I think a lot of good members are going to grow frustrated with the lack of opportunity. I hope we don't lose any first gens because of it.

Good thing that I'm not a goalie
