Enter the latest dissapointment to hit the ice in the VHL. The Frenchman will be entering the VHL draft. He is a small bodied French forward whose greatest accomplishment so far is to dissapear on the ice whenever his team needs him the most.  We expect him to be a second rounder in the upcoming VHL S86 Entry Draft.

Currently The Frenchman has started his journey in the VHLE with the Bratislava Watchmen, and his stats are showing he is nowhere near ready to perform in the VHL.

Checking/Fighting:  D- :  The Frenchman doesn't have a body, he has nothing to hit or fight with. This will never be his strongest point.
Discipline:  D-  :  The Frenchman picks up way to many useless penalties. He shies away from any physical play, how the hell do you end up in the penalty box.
Skating:  B- :  He does not fall over while he skates
Strength:  He is strong enough to be able to lift his stick, what else can we hope for.
Puck Handling C-:  He doesn't trip over his stick when he is trying to shoot. He might get there
Passing C+ :  He can safely bring a pick to a teammates stick in order for him to shoot instead.
Scoring B-:  One of his stronger attributes, despite this not leading to a lot of goals
Defense: C-:  He really needs to learn to defend better.

 

As you can see, this prospect is nowhere near VHL ready, yet people expect him to be a high pick. I claim he should not be considered this high, especially with his intention to moving to the vhl as soon as possible.
