“He doesn’t celebrate goals. He doesn’t chirp. Hell, I’m not even sure he blinks. But every time you look up… he’s there. Killing plays, momentum, hope. I don’t know where he came from, but I know I don’t want to play against him.”
— Anonymous VHL scout, post-U18 Showcase

 

 

 

 

If Bash McMurray @Bushito is a hammer, Kyzer Söze is a scalpel. A mystery on skates, Söze enters the Season 100 VHL Draft with whispers surrounding him, some speak of exile, others of a vanished mother, and a father with more offshore holdings than teeth. What we do know? This kid can play, he's smooth, smart, and ruthless. The kind of defenseman who always seems to be exactly where the puck shouldn't be. A product of an unknown, privately financed academy in the Mediterranean (that may or may not have been run by ex-special forces), Söze has surfaced in North America with poise beyond his years. He doesn’t hit hard, he hits right. Rarely penalized or beaten, and never flustered, he plays the game like he’s reading it from a script only he’s seen.

 

 

The Pros of Söze

1. Defensive Intelligence:
Reads plays like a prophet. Angles, gaps, sticks, he uses them all with ease. He's not the fastest, but you wouldn't know it because he's already there.

 

2. Composure:
You could set him on fire during a penalty kill and he’d still calmly break out the puck. Nothing rattles him.

 

3. Quiet Leadership:
Doesn’t say much in the room, but everyone listens when he does. Leads by example, not ego. Coaches trust him. Teammates lean on him. Media can’t crack him.

 

4. The Escape Story:
Let’s be honest, the narrative is selling itself. An exiled prodigy from a war torn coastline? Hollywood’s already calling baby.

 

 

 

The Cons of Kyzer

1. Off-Ice Silence:
Kyzer doesn’t talk to media. Barely talks to staff. He’s a mystery wrapped in a North American visa. Teams worry about what they don’t know.

 

2. Thin Frame:
Still growing into his body. Against bruisers like Bash McMurray, he might get steamrolled, assuming they can catch him.

 

3. Trust Issues:
Doesn’t bond easily. Teammates say he’s loyal but distant, like he’s always preparing for the next betrayal. Could be trauma or training.

 

4. The Name:
Let’s be real, Söze isn’t a name. It’s a warning. Rumors swirl about his past. About who trained him. About what he left behind. One GM said, “I don’t know if I’m drafting a defenseman or an assassin.”

 

 

 

Final Verdict:
You don’t draft Kyzer Söze for the highlight reels. You draft him because this one already knows what it costs to survive. And he’s still skating.
