Alex 2,869 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Graphic below by @InstantRockstar 1 Riga Reign The Frenchman @OrbitingDeath C TPE: 397 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 14 35 49 17 244 74 161 13 Season 85 - Playoffs 7 0 2 2 -4 31 4 10 0 A fairly obvious prediction for 1st overall The Frenchman is top ranked in their draft class by a moderate amount. Rebuilding Riga has begun to create their future roster with younger players and now to fit the timeline they are looking to draft the franchise's next star to lead them out of this rebuild in the next couple of seasons. The Frenchman skipped the M and preferred to play in the E last season where they joined Bratislava for the season putting up average stats but the potential for this player is more than it seems. 2 Seattle Bears Daryl Dixon @Ricer13 RW TPE: 356 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 54 69 123 64 504 54 125 26 Season 85 - Playoffs 9 3 9 12 2 51 2 15 10 With one of their 4 first round picks in this season's draft Seattle will likely look to build their forward talent. Though Daryl Dixon has been rumored to be playing in the VHLE next season this could work for Seattle's timeline as they could rely on free agency or one of their other three 1st's to complete their forward group for the upcoming season and then bring in Daryl afteer that season. Daryl Dixon was apart of the Miami Marauders and put up and incredible 123 points in 72 games and kept their ppg+ average through the playoffs. Daryl seems to be a very talented player that could become on of Seattle's future stars. 3 Helsinki Titans Fuuka Rask @Jubis G TPE: 333 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA Season 85 - Regular Season 53 36 12 5 0.912 2.39 4 128 1449 Season 85 - Playoffs 7 3 4 0 0.883 3.72 0 26 223 Helsinki has a young squad on their hands, but their goaltending is the oldest part of the squad and rather underwhelming with 2 backup caliber goaltenders. As the Helsinki squad ages their goaltending will remain sup-par from the starter position. In a goaltending deep draft it's the perfect time for Helsinki to grab possibly their next goaltender for the franchise that will easily overpass their current goaltenders in only about 2 seasons. Fuuka Rask is the perfect goaltender for Helsinki, loaded with talent and fitting the timeline of the squad. In 53 games with Ottawa this season Fuuka averaged a 0.912 sv% and a 2.39 GAA with 4 shutouts to accompany him. These are solid stats for a goaltender which is what Helsinki will need soon. 4 Riga Reign Yaroslav Bogatyrev @Bojovnik RW TPE: 384 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 28 31 59 30 303 53 110 27 Season 85 - Playoffs 13 4 4 8 -1 73 6 17 6 Toronto has made a lot of moves with it's roster since last season from having a large amount of players to not having a full roster anymore. Toronto is in need of forwards and the top player at this point would be Yaroslav Bogatyrev. Though Yaroslav has seemed a bit picky in draft interviews there's a chance that they could settle with being drafted by Toronto and decided to play there where they would likely be the franchises star for however long they may last there. Bogatyrev opting to play in the E last season had a very good season for themself with 59 points in 72 games. 5 London United Sadie St-Louis @sadie LW TPE: 282 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 37 48 85 21 388 32 109 77 Season 85 - Playoffs 7 5 2 7 -3 29 4 14 1 The United have made some moves to acquire this pick, just before the release of this article as well... With a highly talented forward group London might have to shed some players in the future for cap reasons and to waste no time looking for a depth piece after the cap shed John Richards may be the guy to come in and fit in with the United squad. Sadie St-Louis had a great season for the Ottawa Lynx with 85 points being a faily even spread they could be a solid piece to add to London. 6 Seattle Bears Rick Grimes @tinafrombobsburgers C TPE: 294 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 48 68 116 62 437 36 127 20 Season 85 - Playoffs 9 5 10 15 0 40 4 14 6 In every draft so far Daryl Dixon and Rick Grimes have found each other in some way to be in the same team. This could be a possibility for Seattle to finish their future forward group with an abundance of star players. Rick Grimes played for Miami this past season getting 116 points with the spread being fairly even, a very talented player at that who will break into the VHL in not to short of time at this rate. 7 Seattle Bears Joel Castle @animal74 G TPE: 311 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 59 41 14 4 0.911 2.34 6 138 1552 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 10 8 1 0.905 2.87 2 50 524 The Seattle Bears will have a bunch of picks coming up, but with this one they'll be selecting Joel Castle. Although they already have a goaltender in Dusty Wilson, it's always nice to pick up one of every position, especially with early picks, as they're all going to be consistent earners usually. Joel Castle played in the M this season, playing with LVA and leading them to the finals, just falling short of the Reapers. Joel Castle will be a great addition to the very young Seattle Bears roster and will potentially eventually take over that starting spot. 8 Seattle Bears Elias Lampi @Pifferfish D TPE: 203 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 42 6 17 23 13 87 28 97 73 Season 85 - Playoffs 4 0 4 4 3 8 2 9 6 Up at eighth, we have Seattle taking Elias Lampi, a defenseman. Lampi last season had a fairly decent season for a defenseman, and with the league already having a potential shortage of strong defenseman, this'll be a great pickup for the Bears. Lampi most likely won't be in the VHL for a couple more seasons, but that gives Seattle enough time to figure out what they want to do with their defensive core. 9 Helsinki Titans John Richards @John Cimarno RW TPE: 242 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 29 57 86 30 352 66 133 44 Season 85 - Playoffs 7 5 6 11 4 36 0 8 4 Having acquired this pick earlier in the offseason, and already having a very solid future defensive core, Helsinki will be looking to add a forward to their future core and Richards will be the future of Helsinki's offense. They have an extremely bright future and by all means should be VHL ready for season 87 as the face of Helsinki's future forward group. 10 London United Rex Wolffe Gregor @oilmandan D TPE: 230 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 16 34 50 -2 132 147 307 162 Season 85 - Playoffs 18 3 14 17 -2 39 31 77 33 Next up at tenth overall, we have Rex Wolffe Gregor going to the London United. Rex had a great season in the M for a defenseman, putting up 50 points in 72 games, which is very respectable. Rex will be adding to the blue line in a couple of season and look to replace Jerome Reinhart, so it's perfect timing for the London United and their GM Dil who seems to have everything planned out. 11 Vancouver Wolves Jens Lekman @Bobcat D TPE: 218 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 13 56 59 43 148 68 181 90 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 8 12 20 1 74 24 61 At eleventh overall, we have Jens Lekman heading to the Vancouver Wolves. Frank has already done a great job with rebuilding the Vancouver Wolves, even getting them into a playoff spot this season. I believe that adding Lekman to that prospect line and potentially slotting into that D core will be a huge addition to the team. Lekman had a great season in the M, especially in the playoffs where he was a PPG defenseman and put up an impressive 74 shots on goal in 19 games. This pick will be a good one, and Frank will be looking to strengthen this team. 12 HC Davos Dynamo Lachlan Summers @kirbithan G TPE: 293 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA Season 85 - Regular Season 72 34 30 8 0.916 2.57 4 187 2218 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 2 4 0 0.912 3.1 0 19 217 Currently the 3rd best goalie in the draft class, Lachlan Summers had a solid season in S85 while playing for San Diego in the VHLM. In 72 games we saw them post a 0.916 SV% (2nd) and a 2.57 GAA (8th). In addition to this Summers also recorded a record of 34-30-8 with 4 shutouts along the way. Currently Davos does not have much in the way of prospects, but with Xavier Booberry set for retirement in 3 seasons, adding a goalie to their prospect pool makes perfect sense. 13 Toronto Legion Left Alone @okochastar LW TPE: 221 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 34 37 71 20 327 30 122 41 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 2 1 3 1 23 2 12 1 Last season Left Alone was just below a point per game with San Diego, finishing the season with 34 goals and 37 assists for 71 points in 72 games. Left Alone also excells on the physical side of the game as they recorded an impressive 122 hits and 41 shots blocked, while only havin 30 penalty minutes. For Toronto they will likely be looking to supplement their forward core in the coming seasons and Left Alone will be a perfect option to do just that. 14 Calgary Wranglers Wann Kerr @VattghernCZ C TPE: 231 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 41 56 97 34 360 62 124 18 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 10 14 24 3 78 19 38 3 Another player who had a stelar season 85 is Wann Kerr, last season they posted an astonishing 97 points, 41 of which were goals in 72 games with Las Vegas in the VHLM. If Wann Kerr is still on the board at this point of the draft there is no doubt that Calgary will draft them. There is a considerable chance that Wann Kerr could go as early as 10th overall. 15 Moscow Menace Leonard Triller @Triller RW TPE: 201 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 55 14 38 52 7 202 42 116 27 Season 85 - Playoffs 4 0 1 1 -3 13 2 7 2 An era in Moscow is coming to a close with Hard Markinson, and The Seabasstard retired, and with this being Papa Emeritus's final season. GM @spartan, will have to turn his focus to the future and their already existing future core. Leonard Triller will be the perfect piece to do just that! LAst season they posted a solid 52 points in 55 games with Saskatoon. It is currently unknown if Triller will be taking their talents to the VHLE this coming season or staying in the M to play for San Diego. 16 D.C. Dragons Adam Rage @MrMom RW TPE: 181 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 32 30 62 -8 342 30 123 69 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 2 2 4 -3 19 2 9 11 With the final pick of the 1st round, the D.C. Dragons are in a great position to select a forward that will help imporve their roster in the coming seasons, with there likley being several forwards for them to choose from at this point of the draft. A solid option for them at this point of the draft will be Adam Rage, last season Rage was a core two-way forward for the San Diego Marlins, and we should expcet them to improve on their number when they make a return to the VHLM this season. in season 85 they posted 32 goals and 30 assists for 62 points in 72 games, they also added 123 hits and 69 shots blocked! 2ND ROUND 17 Vancouver Wolves Vincent Laroche-Gagnier @vincentlg2007 LW TPE: 178 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 43 51 94 17 342 34 126 44 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 1 1 2 -4 22 4 7 8 18 Calgary Wranglers Sjin @Mint C TPE: 155 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 65 29 48 77 20 244 32 113 43 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 0 1 1 -3 19 4 8 2 19 Vancouver Wolves Edward Traverse @Python_Starbuzz D TPE: 152 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 38 6 17 23 23 38 20 35 28 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 4 8 12 2 33 6 16 20 20 Calgary Wranglers Dirk Diggler @Tbeez99 RW TPE: 153 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 12 39 51 14 187 36 80 27 Season 85 - Playoffs 18 3 8 11 1 47 12 23 7 21 Seattle Bears Jose Silva @Viper C TPE: 150 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 43 14 18 32 -21 166 26 71 23 Season 85 - Playoffs 4 3 1 4 -1 16 2 4 2 22 Helsinki Titans Don Aven @Novanod C TPE: 173 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 27 53 80 20 250 66 178 73 Season 85 - Playoffs 7 2 7 9 4 34 7 6 12 23 London United Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Kobe Johnson @Vkobe-v RW TPE: 131 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 11 12 23 14 95 33 119 5 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 7 6 13 -8 47 11 23 5 24 Los Angeles Stars Sigma Freud @CODENAMEJIMMY D TPE: 145 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 11 34 45 37 121 26 45 87 Season 85 - Playoffs 19 2 6 8 2 13 18 31 19 25 Malmo Nighthawks Ash Sparks @DarkSpyro G TPE: 273 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA Season 85 - Regular Season 62 31 29 2 0.91% 2.58 4 161 1881 Season 85 - Playoffs 4 0 3 1 0.90% 4.34 0 20 200 26 Toronto Legion Darius Marimoto II @Bobo RW TPE: 162 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 22 41 63 8 285 37 131 14 Season 85 - Playoffs 11 3 4 7 8 39 10 12 1 27 Toronto Legion David King @nfrank060 LW TPE: 135 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 48 13 29 42 -31 135 12 64 35 28 Toronto Legion Frank Forsberg @QcjetsQc RW TPE: 135 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 50 19 38 57 16 204 44 109 20 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 2 1 3 1 24 6 13 2 29 Toronto Legion Gio Naps @GiosPoolParty RW TPE: 123 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 36 55 91 -41 423 42 137 77 30 Warsaw Predators Tim Stuzle @NineIQ v2 RW TPE: 125 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 48 20 25 45 -37 239 22 66 57 31 Malmo Nighthawks Thor Odinson @GoalPlays RW TPE: 128 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 48 12 22 34 23 95 32 75 17 Season 85 - Playoffs 6 0 2 2 -3 12 0 6 0 32 Los Angeles Stars Keon Jeannot @Lucas anton RW TPE: 137 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB Season 85 - Regular Season 72 16 16 32 17 131 24 71 13 Season 85 - Playoffs 18 2 7 9 6 35 13 37 5 Thank you to @N0HBDY and @badcolethetitan for writing!
