S98 VHLM TOP 5 MOCK DRAFT

[Rkhockey9 73]

Normally I'm a graphic guy so with some downtime during this long off-season I got bored and decided to switch it up a little and made my first attempt at a media spot and first attempt at a mock draft! 

 

 

   1. Mexico City Kings

    Having the first and third pick in the S98 VHLM draft is a great spot to be in for Mexico City considering the big hole on their roster. By big hole I mean they literally have 0 defenders on their roster. This draft seems to be top loaded with defensemen. 4 of the top 7 prospects to be exact! I believe the Kings will use this pick to take Tina Hughes! @tinafrombobsburgers. Tina who was just drafted 8th overall to the New York Americans in the VHL draft is a 5'10" 170 pound D man, who last season played 72 games with Miami. Don't let his size or lack of fool you! Hughes ended with 4 goals and 21 assists and a great +/- rating of 48! Tina has racked up 296 tpe showing he is a consistent earner! Good things happen and bad things don't when Tina is on the ice which is why I think this is a great pick to build a D core around in Mexico City!

 

  2. Philadelphia Reapers

    So this might pretty biased but with the second pick I think Philly goes with Tina's future teammate in New York Ryan Mantzz. Mantzz was drafted to the Americans 6th overall in the VHL draft is a first gen RW who says he plans to have a similar game as last year VHLM standout Pelayo Bolivar! While joining late in the year last season Ryan played 34 games in Miami scoring 2 goals and 5 assists. Not the output he was hoping for but making him hungrier in the off-season. Mantzz also has stated he wants to be a first gen hall of famer and has shown he is eager to earn that TPE racking up 271 so far! This will be a great addition to Phillys roster! 

 

  3. Mexico City Kings 

   Back to pick again is Mexico City and I think they stick to the plan of filling the lack of Defensemen on their roster and get another amazing prospect in Titus Cunningham @thadthrasher. Titus will add needed size to the blue line being 6'4" and 225 pounds! A late late addition to last season Miami's roster played 9 games and put up 1 goal and 2 assists while having a +/- rating of 15! Paired up with Hughes I think this will be a lethal pair of Defensemen making Mexico a dangerous team this coming year!  Being my first year in this I don't know any of @thadthrasher players but if they are as consistent as Cunningham is who has earned himself 187 TPE so far, this will be a steal at 3 as I believe he has the potential to go 1 or 2. 

 

   4. Saskatoon Wild

    Picking at 4 and 6 is Saskatoon who is in the same boat as Mexico City with not having a defensemen on their roster. It depends how they want to attack this with another great forward Lorenzo Mancini left on the board. I believe they can get both and will be safe and address the D situation first and take the 6' 8" 240 lb Sweden native Krister Von Casar Tzesar. Tzesar has earned himself 172 TPE so far and I believe with his massive frame he will grow into a great D man and be a solid foundation piece in rebuilding Saskatoons Defense! 

 

      5. Houston Bulls 

     Rounding out the top 5 the Bulls are without a goalie at the moment. And with a decent drop off between this prospect and the next at the the netminder position I believe Houston will select goalie Yor Bjorven @Rin. Joining late last season his numbers don't jump off the page with a .847 save percentage and 4.42 GAA. I believe a big part of that was due to the rebuild going on in Mississauga. I think he will have a better D core in front of him in Houston! As said before I am new to the Leauge and don't know anyone's past players but it seems to be Bjorven is an active earner with his 161 TPE since joining early February! I think he will grow into a great netminder for Houston down the road! 

 

Looking forward to the draft and seeing where all these great talents in the draft pool end up!
