Pumping up the New Creates in the VHL and VHLE Draft!

[CaptainSB 117]

The VHL and VHLE draft is coming up and I thought this would be a perfect time to highlight all the great new creates in this draft! I know unlike the veterans and recreates new creates don't get as much spotlight or love so I wanted to use this article to give our new creates some love and encouragement!

 

If you look in this class let's break down the new creates into buckets based on the TPE earned.

The High Earning Actives

D Ronan Amnon: Breeze837, Mexico City

RW David VanHousen: David VanHousen, Houston
G Zaps Cat: Scudmuffin19, Houston
D Carl Erhardt: Elite Steel, Mexico City

The Rest
There are about 23 new creates this class but none have updated for over a month. I feel they are IA. We do hope maybe 1 or 2 come back at some point to this fun league but am sorry no one else will join us.

So with this the question is how high can these player be drafted? As you can see they are on two teams so the scouts will be flocking in to see the two teams in the South to scout. 

Wings (1)
David VanHousen: 153 tpe and updated this week (@David VanHousen)
David is the 8th highest earning wing this draft class and teams needing wings and wanting to develop new talent will be salivating to get a hands on this prospect. Drafted 24th in the VHLM draft, he is coming on strong this past season and will look to shoot up the draft charts in the VHL draft. His build is a very balanced build and so a lot of opportunity to improve as he grows into his body and looks to go pro in the next few seasons. Prediction: Early Second Round. 

DefenseMen (2)
Ronan Amnon: 154 tpe and updated this week. (@Breeze837)
Amnon is the highest defensemen in the draft and one that has posted solid earnings across the PBE and SBA. Ronan is someone eager to help the team and learn so he would make for a good locker room presence. He will still need some coaching and has the hopes to be a solid starter in the majors in the near future. He has a nice balance build between defense and offense. He is the 7th highest rated defensemen in this class. Prediction: Late First to Second Round. 

 

Carl Erhardt: 123 tpe and updated 2 weeks ago. (@Elite Steel)

Another solid earner Carl is a more physical defender that will look to rough up the opposition. He has one of the higher body check ratings in the minors and will look to get physical to dissuade opposing wings from attempting easy shots. He is the 9th highest rated defensemen in this class. Prediction: Second Round

Goalie (1)
Zaps Cat: 143 tpe and updated this week. (@scudmuffin19)

The lovable Scud has finally created in the VHL. He is the only rookie goalie in the league and the 4th highest rated goalie in this class. He brings more to the clubhouse than the actual rink would be a great addition to any clubhouse. He has an overall balanced build. Prediction: Late First to Second Round
