The Bobs legacy, the sequel Ep.6 (Where is Bobby Bob going to land?)

[Baby Boomer 753]

Welcome everyone,

 

The S88 VHL entry draft and the S88 VHLE entry draft are scheduled for the mars 27^th and the mars 31^st respectively and Bobby Bob is eligible for both of them. In this sixth episode of « The Bobs legacy, the sequel », we are going to look at all the teams that Bobby Bob has a chance to be picked by.

 

If we start with the VHL, Bobby Bob was contacted by five teams. As of now, Bobby Bob is third for the number of TPE with 366 and he will logically be drafted in the top 5. The Calgary Wranglers have the 13^th and the 16^th pick overall and Bobby will most likely not be available, but they still contacted Bob to wish him luck in good draft. The Malmo Nighthawks also messaged him to wish him luck in the draft and for the rest of his career despite them only having the 6^th overall pick. Then, the Toronto Legion that currently has the 3^rd overall pick contacted Bobby Bob very early in the off-season and they showed a lot of interest in the Canadian defensemen and even if the final decision will be in Toronto’s hand, there are a lot of chances to see Bobby Bob play with them in a near future. Finally, the New York Americans asked a couple of questions to Bobby Bob about his goals in the future and his interest in playing with them. New York has the 4^th overall pick and if Bob is still available, he could very well be an Americans after the draft. Where ever he lands Bobby Bob will do anything to win a Cup with this team and be the best player in the league.

 

Now with VHLE, there are fewer options, because there are only eight teams in the league and only five teams have a first round pick, the Rome Gladiators with the 1^st and 6^th pick, the Istanbul Red Wolves with the 2^nd and 3^rd pick, the Vasteras Iron Eagles with the 4^th pick, the Yukon Rush with the 5^th and 8^th and the Oslo Storm with the 7^th pick. The Rome Gladiators have the first overall pick for the first time in their history and since the GM is Bobby Bob’s dad, Baby Boomer, we could think that the GM would be interested in drafting his son, but we asked him about it and he said that he would not comment about it before the draft. Next, we have the Istanbul Red Wolves and even if the team did not contact Bobby, the team could very well select him with their two first picks. For the remaining teams, none of them contacted Bobby Bob, so we have literally no idea what their plans are, and we can only wait to see what they will do and who they will pick.

 

The draft in the VHLE is a little bit different than the VHL’s one since the best players available are going to play only one season in the VHLE before going to the VHL. This is the reason why Bobby Bob is not guaranteed to be drafted to in the top 5. However, I see Bobby Bob getting drafted pretty soon in the VHLE entry draft next Friday.
