Prospect Scouting Report: Additional Pylons

[courtjestr19 81]

I’m not sure I can say that my create, Additional Pylons, will be able to put up the gaudy numbers he has in his Houston Bulls rookie season, but I can commit him to the following.

 

First, Additional Pylons’s calling card will be his defense. Built like a true defensive defenseman, the kind of guys I’m trying to build my player around are hard-nosed NHL blueliners like Drew Doughty and Ryan Suter. These guys were the lifeblood lock-down guys of strong Kings and Wild teams, respectively, and that’s who I envision Pylons to grow into over time, likely with a bit more scoring thrown in eventually. Even now in Houston, his stats kind of emulate these two. For example:

 

Pylons (S99), scaled to 82 gm: 14 G, 38 A, 58 +/-, 8.75 SHT%, 35 PIM,

Doughty (15-16): 14 G, 37 A, 24 +/-, 7.1 SHT%, 52 PIM.

 

Second, Pylons will consistently put in the work. So far in the VHL, I’ve been a max earner. My plan is to max earn throughout my entire career. I’m a graphics guy and did two of the recent major article graphics (which, not gonna lie, was pretty sick to see on the front page). I want to try and get as high up in TPE as I possibly can in my first season, and eventually want to proudly draft Pylons to my own Victory Hockey Fantasy League team. Side note: I just did this for the first time with my pitcher in the PBE (Andy Beans), and this is how I knew I finally made it .

 

Third, I strive to be active and positive in the team locker room Discord. My brief time in Miami and my current home in Houston have been awesome places to hang out, and my goal with my virtual player is to contribute much more than virtual shots blocked and virtual +/-. I’m thrilled with the community aspect of the VHL so far, and if the conversations I had with the minors GMs in my first draft experience are any indication of the people here, I really am very excited to be brought on to a majors squad in the future.

 

My philosophy in my two sim leagues to date has been to put in effort into both being a welcoming person in the locker room while being the best user/earner I can be.

Look forward to seeing wherever Pylons ends up, but mostly, I’m just happy to be here so far.

 

In the meantime, we have a Cup to chase in Houston! Let’s Go Bulls!
