In an unbelievable turn of events on the twentieth time of asking we’re actually going to ask whether a player who is actually active, updating and currently playing on a VHL team is the best player in the VHL Portal! Wow! So let’s talk about Calix Pearce, the user Laine’s follow up to their 1228 TPE player Patrik Laine. Calix, created as a sibling to both Niko and Cole Pearce, was created just over a year ago now and started off with a pretty strong earning rate, kicking off their career with six weeks of 10 capped TPE per week at a point where they were the Storm GM in both the VHLM and VHLE (as their player was created just prior to the transition from Minnesota to Oslo). However as their personal life became busier, the amount of point tasks they could do shrunk and, eleven weeks after creation, Pearce’s earning dropped from that 10 capped TPE per week to 4 capped TPE per week. While they do not currently earn every week, they do still at least make sure to claim welfare for their player at least twice a month, which you like to see cause I think too many players throw in the towel with a player too early whereas Pearce demonstrates you can still play a role in the VHL even after missing a few weeks.

 

As for Calix Pearce’s performance on the ice, they haven’t accrued too many points, but I would say they’re actually getting more than is usually expected from a player built like Pearce as they have gone the route of building a physical defenseman. After having spent three solid seasons in the VHLE as a part of the Oslo Storm and Cologne Express roster’s, Pearce made the move up to the VHL for Season 85 and picked up 34 points in 72 games whilst also posting up the second most hits and third most shot blocks on the Seattle Bears roster. While those point numbers may look low, it’s worth pointing out that Seattle did not have the best luck in front of goal in Season 85 (lowest amount of goals of teams that made the playoffs) so it’s actually a pretty respectable total especially given their defensive efforts. Heading into Season 86, Pearce remains with the Seattle Bears as their third highest TPA defenseman, however with Seattle taking quite a few losses at forward it will potentially be tough for Pearce to improve upon their point totals from Season 85.

 

But the big question is where do they rank, and it’s an interesting one given that Pearce still has potentially several seasons ahead of them (I will imagine they will at least continue until they earn 700 TPE so they can claim 5 TPE welfare from now on). Unfortunately I can’t place Calix Pearce as the best player in the VHL Portal ahead of the seemingly undefeatable Matthew Kai just because Kai has had many more seasons in the VHL than Pearce, although Kai might have cause for concern given that Pearce is the first challenger they have faced that will likely usurp their 479 TPE (as Pearce is only 13 TPE behind currently). However, given that Pearce broke the point totals that Shevkov put up over two seasons in just one season along with Pearce having maintained active for nearly twice as long as Shevkov, I feel comfortable in saying that Calix Pearce is the second best player in the VHL Portal, and hey, if Pearce continues at their current pace, maybe they will eventually take Matthew Kai’s place as the best player in the VHL Portal.
