VSN Presents: The Season 92 Junior Showcase Tournament

[LucyXpher 600]

 

 

With the VHLM regular season in the rear view mirror and the second round of the playoffs getting underway, gazes begin to shift toward the Junior Showcase Tournament-- an opportunity for those players who are eligible for the Season 93 and 94 VHL and VHLE entry drafts to put their skills on display and show scouts and general managers what they can do. After last season's JST was canceled because of a lack of eligible players, the tournament is back this season and bursting with talent after an influx of new players who entered the VHLM in Season 92.

 

While the VHLM is a league that allows players to cut their teeth, the JST is where players bare their fangs, sharpened and glistening white. After a full season of development, players will be eager to prove themselves against the top talents in their draft class. Some players will be coming off of a disappointing season or a difficult playoff loss and will be seeking a shot at redemption. Others will be out to prove that their regular season or playoff success was not accidental, but repeatable, even in a different environment with different teammates. Unlike an All-Star game where there is nothing on the line, the players in this tournament have their futures to play for. Playing a great tournament could see a player's draft stock rise, while a disappointing showing might plant seeds of doubt in the minds of scouts and general managers looking to build their team in the upcoming drafts. Whichever way you look at it, the JST is a fantastic opportunity for draft eligible players to stay active during the offseason as it gives players more motivation to continue training and developing their skills. The tournament is also an excellent opportunity for some up and coming GM prospects to gain invaluable experience building and managing a roster. It is a tournament of opportunity, but it will be up to those involved to make the most of it.

 

Without further introduction, let's dive into the rosters of the five teams that will be taking part in the tournament. Here, I'll give you a preview on what to expect from each team, some storylines to follow, and who might be the early favorite to win the tournament.  I'll also give you my shortlist of players who might have a little something extra to prove in this tournament.  These will be players to keep an eye on as the games begin.

*Note: Teams are ordered alphabetically and players are sorted by position and TPE.

The current GM of the Helsinki Titans, @samx offered her services and expertise to manage the Brigade in this season's Junior Showcase Tournament when the team needed a last minute replacement.  Up and comer, @LucyXpher, joined up as the AGM partway through the draft to fill out the team's front office. On paper, the team is a collection of solid players--though perhaps not flashy-- some of whom might have been undervalued in the JST draft.  A good number of these players saw limited ice time in secondary or depth roles for their VHLM clubs this past season, but could be primed to take a leap forward with more opportunity. 

 

Up front, the Brigade will feature two strong left wingers in Chris Reynolds Jr. and UghSike, with further depth at the position in Maverick Goncalves and Pombo.  One of these players will likely need to play on their off wing or at center, however, as it is not likely the team will ice four full forward lines-- at least not to begin the tournament. Tyler Lawson had an exceptional year in Houston in a secondary role and will look to shine in more minutes with the Brigade in this tournament. Pierre Marc Bouchard is also a coveted prospect who could see some serious development, even over the course of this tournament, making him a good value pickup with a rising ceiling. 

 

On defense, the Brigade selected Lucy Leitner with the 3rd overall pick and did well to add quality in Wladyslaw Mintus, Masa Akimoto, Connor Mclaughlin, and Landon Flatt. With increased ice time and greater responsibility, these defenders will be called upon to elevate their game from their VHLM level.

 

There was a run on goalies early on in the JST draft that left the Brigade digging a little deeper for options.  Ultimately, they would settle on Halifax's number one goalie, Kendra Cavill, who had a fairly strong season despite being on a weaker team.  With control of the net and competitive teammates, Cavill will be a goalie to watch to see whether or not they can measure up to the likes of Lovstrom, Vencko, and Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen.  On paper, goaltending may be a more obvious weakness for the Brigade, but there's a reason the games are played and Cavill will certainly have something to prove.  If all else fails, the Brigade selected Da TypThond as their second goalie who had a respectable record, albeit in limited ice time this past season with Las Vegas.

G - (S93) Samuel Wazinski @samthemancub  64GP - 35W - .904 SV% - 2.91 GAA - 2SO

 

For the Royals, @horoscope is on his first tour of duty as a general manager and has brought along San Diego Marlins GM, @Mysterious_Fish, to be his AGM. On paper, it seems that the management duo has done well for themselves, securing top players at each position.  The question with this team will be whether these players can reproduce their VHLM success in this tournament.  

 

With a potential top line of Forum Content - Antonia Bucatini - Annie Oaks, the Royals have ensured that they will not lack firepower. With Kevin OConnor and Steve French also added to the forward corps, they will undoubtedly be a frightening group to go up against.  The Phantom of the VHL might also be a bit of a sleeper pick who can punch above his weight in terms of draft position and I would probably put Wally Lose in that same category.  

 

On defense, Magni Jinn, Enn Jinn, and Pinn Jinn might be the team's top defensemen in terms of scoring track record as they were among the VHLM's top defenders.  There is some concern, however, that their numbers may have been slightly inflated playing on a Reapers team that was clicking all season long.  Conversely, it should not be discounted that these three were also highly instrumental to their team's success and deserve credit for this as well.  It remains to be seen how the defensive depth chart will shake out for the Royals.  It is a real possibility that Felicia Hardy and Toby Cook may end up as the top pairing on this team, despite only having a combined 12 points in 40 games last season compared with the 214 in 216 by all three Jinns combined.  

 

In goal, the Royals, like the Brigade, missed the early run on goalies. That said, they were able to secure Herald Benson, one of the best backups in the VHLM last season, and he will surely be looking to prove he deserves a starting job going forward.  Despite lacking the pedigree of Vencko in Houston, Benson actually held his own in the head to head battle for the crease for most of the season, and only fell behind the Czech down the stretch. The Royals also picked up another capable goaltender in Samuel Wazinski, who backstopped the San Diego Marlins to 35 wins in 64 games this season, recording 2 shutouts along the way.

G - (S93) Austin Goulet III @Tuchy  42GP - 14W - .886 SV% - 3.46 GAA

 

The Steel enlisted @dstevensonjr to take the helm as a first time general manager, along with @Pifferfish as his assistant.  Despite this being his first kick at the proverbial can, the Steel GM demonstrated his overall preparation and shrewdness with the first overall pick, wasting little time taking the top rated defender, Benjamin Abenduct.  Knowing that high-end defenders would be in short supply, the Steel made a smart move and got their guy.  With a keen eye on the Houston Bulls talent pool, the Steel would go on to select Trimiskez Artav, a high scoring right winger, Filip Zinek, Jack Dickens, and goaltender Ondrej Vencko.  These 5 Bulls fill important roles on this Steel roster and it will be interesting to see if their chemistry can carry over from the VHLM.

 

Besides ZInek, Artav, and Dickens, the Steel took a top center in Vanuza Kolesinska and bolstered their center depth chart with Taylor Swift and Aiden Paige.  These players should offer them a quality one-two-three punch down the middle of the ice and will be flanked by the aforementioned Bulls. The Steel also drafted another center, Jacob Longstreet, but it remains to be seen if he will be called upon to play as a winger or stay at his natural position.  This will ultimately depend on how many lines the managers elect to send over the boards.  

 

On defense, Abenduct is paired with a friend of his in Gul Dukat, and it seems likely that the two will become a formidable top pair for the Steel.  I have to think that the Steel knew this when drafting them and it may be an important piece of scouting that really pays off for them in this tournament.  Blaze Thunderstrike is a good option on the second pair along with Lazlo Holmes who is off to a torrid start to his career.  Donald Carlson has also impressed in limited VHLM games and may be an important contributor if given the chance on this Steel blueline.  

In goal, the Steel chose Ondrej Vencko.  After Lovstrom, Vencko is considered by many to be either the second or third best goalie prospect in the VHLM and is currently leading his Houston Bulls into the second round of the playoffs.  Vencko is more than capable of stealing games and is a stable presence in the net.  Off the ice... well... stable is not exactly the first word that comes to mind.  Let's just stick with presence...

The Houston Bulls AGM, @Nathan_8, has taken the reins of this year's Warriors team with the experience of @Alex as his AGM. The Warriors took a swing for the fences with Jean-Pierre Devote at second overall and snagged Yermolai Nabokov with a subsequent pick.  The combo of Devote and Nabokov on the wings with French Fries in the middle is a mouth watering prospect.  With depth centers Murray Connolly and Isaak Robinson flanked by Leon Bruhmaninho and Ocean Codoller, this is a team that will be able to boast depth in addition to its high end firepower.

 

On the defensive side, the Warriors nabbed one of the top S94 prospects in Jillian Woods and added great value in Ray Stanton, Carson Tripp, and Zeal-Emiritus Fleming.  While most of these defenders have proven to some degree that they can play important minutes for their clubs, it remains to be seen if any of them can take command of a top 2 role and become a true top defender that catches the eye of scouts.  

 

At the goaltending position, the Warriors selected Aleksanteri Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen as their starter.  With this pick, they bought themselves some peace of mind between the pipes, banking on AKK's track record and high pedigree. While his VHLM numbers haven't necessarily measured up to where some expected him to be going into the season, I think it's also safe to say that the Mexico City Kings would not have achieved their 3rd place finish without his solid play in goal.  This tournament will be a great opportunity for him to show his true quality and really make a push to move up the goalie rankings for the upcoming drafts.

Goalie:

G - (S93) Connor Hellebuyck @HockeyFan4Life :mex: 6GP - 2W - .887 SV% - 3.43 GAA

  

For the Yukon Rush, @UnknownMinion leads the way as a GM with some experience. He previously spent one season as the GM of Halifax in the VHLM, one season as GM of Geneva in the VHLE, and two seasons as GM of Bratislava in the VHLE.  His resume also boasts a Gold Medal in the WJHC with Team World.  In this season's JST, he has compiled an intriguing roster of players that includes the top goalie in the VHLM in Jorgen Lovstrom.  Securing this pick early on in the draft gives the Rush a huge advantage in goal as Lovstrom has displayed remarkable consistency throughout the entirety of the VHLM regular season and into the playoffs.  There are many who believe that much of the Philadelphia Reapers' success this season is owed to his calm command of the goal, giving his team the confidence to take risks and produce in front of him.  His numbers are head and shoulders above the other goalies in the VHLM and he leads the league with 3 shutouts and an impressive 48 wins.  

 

At the forward positions, the Rush can ice a potential top line featuring one of the top prospects in the S93 draft class, Gianfranco Del Rocco.  He could be joined by Reaper's standout, Walter Jinn, and Bulls scorer, Nathan Ecker. This trio, though perhaps not as explosive as some of the others we've previewed, is not to be underestimated.  Ecker has quietly built himself up in a depth role for the Houston Bulls and a stint on the top line for the Rush could be all he needs to catapult himself up the draft board.  With the balanced skills of Walter Jinn down the middle and the high-end scoring prowess of Del Rocco, this could be a sleeper pick for one of the most productive lines in the tournament when it's all said and done.

At defense, the Rush selected WWumbo as their top player and added two of the VHLM's most physical players in Cody Toland and Billy Joel. If he stays out of the penalty box, his physical play can quickly become an advantage as he wears the opposition down.  Billy Joel, Russel Sprout, and Phil Taylor are also great value pickups in the later parts of the draft that could prove to be steals.

Roster Power Rankings:

 

With the rosters set, the tournament is only days away from puck drop.  Based solely on the rosters available to us at the time of writing, I've put together an early power ranking of how these teams might stack up against each other.  Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion based on the current rosters.  These rosters are still subject to change as teams begin to sign free agents and play games.  It's also worth noting that none of the teams have released any lineup information, so this is based purely on the apparent quality of the rosters you see above.  Making this preliminary ranking was difficult because there is very little to choose between most of these rosters as they all seem to offer notable strengths and some weaknesses.  This should make for a highly competitive tournament as the games get underway.

 

1. Royals

The prospect of a Content-Bucatini-Oaks line is too tantalizing for me to rank this team any lower than first, especially considering they have OConnor, French, and the Jinns on defense.  Herald Benson is probably the biggest question mark on this team for me, but I think he certainly has the potential to embrace this role and be a proper number 1 option.  If Benson falters, Samuel Wazinski is also a very capable goalie, so I struggle to see how goaltending will be a serious issue for this team.

 

2. Steel

If the Steel decide to play Kolesinska and Swift on the same line, I think they could probably boast the most complete starting lineup in this tournament with Artav joining those two up front and the partnership of Abenduct and Dukat locking down the back end.  In goal, Ondrej Vencko is about as good as they come... if you don't have Lovstrom, that is.

 

3. Warriors 

The headline here is Devote and Nabokov with a side of French Fries.  Actually, French Fries is the centerman.  This line alone is worth the price of admission to see this team in action.  Add AKK in goal and this team has the makings of a contender.  I've got the Warriors ranked 3rd because I think the Steel have an edge on defense, especially with their top 2, but I could see this Warriors defense rounding into form very quickly.

 

4. Yukon Rush 

Turns out having one of the top draft eligible skaters and the surefire top goalie in the VHLM doesn't guarantee you top spot in the way-too-early power rankings, but I guess I just want to see this team in action before I give them their flowers.  I think there are also some questions to be answered on the defensive end.  

 

5.  Brigade 

Last place or 5th overall?  Either way, this is the team I am the least sure about in terms of day one performance, but it’s the one that I think may have the most sneaky potential to be better than we expected.  With a number of S94 eligible selections who are developing rapidly, as well as top players like Reynolds Jr., UghSike, Lawson and Leitner, who will likely benefit from more ice time, it's difficult to predict what the ceiling is for this team.  Goaltending may be the biggest question mark for the Brigade who are putting a lot of faith in Cavill with TypThond as a backup option.

 

---

 

3 Players With Something to Prove:

 

1. Kendra Cavill - Brigade: Of all the goalies picked, Cavill is the least known quantity.  Because Halifax struggled throughout much of the VHLM season, it's difficult to separate the team's performance from Cavill's stat line.  Cavill has shown examples of quality and ability evidenced by 2 shutouts this season. Even on a significantly worse team, that's more than Benson, Vencko, and AKK who each recorded 1 shutout this season.  Cavil's .893 SV% is also comparable to the .892% held by both Vencko and Benson.  It's not a lot to go on, but there are signs of a quality goalie here and Cavill will need to be sharp from the start to prove the doubters wrong.

 

2. Miner vHLer - Yukon Rush:  They say defense wins championships, but does leadership?  Miner vHLer is known to be an exceptional locker room presence, though his actual hockey skills leave something to be desired.  He's come this far on the back of his morale boosting abilities, but it remains to be seen whether he can lead a team to a championship. He still has the chance to do it with the Houston Bulls as an Assistant Captain, but if he could prove his effectiveness in the JST, it could see his draft stock rise.  At the moment, GMs are still unsure about his true value and likely won't risk a high pick on leadership personified.  

 

3. Enn Jinn - Royals: After an 89 point season as a defenseman in the VHLM, you'd think that a player would have precious little left to prove.  This isn't exactly the case with Enn Jinn whose true ability has been in question for much of Season 92.  Is this remarkable run of form repeatable with new teammates?  On this Royals squad, Jinn will have the familiarity of fellow Reapers teammates Magni Jinn, Pinn Jinn, and Maple Dogwood to lean on, but will need to find chemistry with new linemates quickly if he is to prove his detractors wrong.

Well, that about does it for this JST preview.  The tournament this season promises to be full of intrigue and opportunity for players to really set themselves apart, all that's left to do now is play the games!

True. I just think it's funny. Normally AJ chokes... Round 2 is really hype for him

Sure, Billy Joel also finished the season with fewer hits and pims than Toland.  Anyway, they're both among the most physical, but Toland had the most pims in the league and was 3rd in total hits which is why I shouted him out.

I appreciate the feedback btw!  And I updated the article, "At defense, the Rush selected WWumbo as their top player and added two of the VHLM's most physical players in Cody Toland and Billy Joel."  I think it's definitely worth mentioning that the Rush got both of you!  Gonna be a scary D pair if they put you together!
