Philadelphia's Future Outlook!

[Bravebulldogs 65]

Next up in this (hopefully) ten-part series is the Philadelphia Reapers. They are currently contending for a championship this year and have a very real chance to win it all. The roster is strong, the chemistry is clicking, and the momentum seems to be on their side. But what about the future? What will this team look like next year and beyond? That is what we are going to take a closer look at today in this week’s outlook.

 

In the upcoming season, the Reapers are in a pretty solid position. They currently hold their own 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th round draft picks. That’s five picks in total, with three of them coming in the early rounds—an enviable situation for any contending team. Having all of your top three picks still in play, especially when you're already competing for a title, is a massive asset. It gives them flexibility. They could draft talented young players to keep building the foundation for the future, or even potentially package some of those picks in a trade to make another deep playoff push. If they draft well, they could cement themselves not only as contenders but as favorites next season.

 

On the roster side of things, the Reapers will return several key pieces heading into the next year. Alto Red, Jakub Kovar, Adam Joy, Bazooka Joe, Tommy James Longpre, Krister Von Casar Tzesar, and goalie Louis Burley are all expected to be back. That is an impressive core. Add in a few talented draft picks or even a free agent or two, and Philadelphia could easily be even better next year than they are right now. The depth and star power combined make them a team no one wants to face.

 

One player I think will step up into a bigger role next year is Jakub Kovar. That’s assuming he stays in the M, of course—because I know @MichkovSzn is a high earner and could be ready for the call-up. But if he’s back, watch out. Kovar tied for fourth on the team in points last season with 79. He also tallied 36 goals, showing he’s already a scoring threat. With a potential promotion to the top line and first power play unit, he could absolutely explode statistically. Don’t be surprised if he finds himself in MVP conversations.

 

Another factor working in the Reapers’ favor is the league landscape itself. Three of the other four teams in the league are getting new general managers next season. That means change, transition, and possibly instability. The Reapers, on the other hand, will have continuity. Their players know the system, the expectations, and what it takes to win. That’s a competitive edge that could translate to dominance on the ice.

 

All in all, the future is looking bright in Philadelphia. The Reapers are not just a team for today—they're built for tomorrow, too. They are laying out the blueprint for success in the VHLM.

Reviewing Philadelphia's Future Outlook:

 

It was good to read a second entry into this series, i'm learning a lot by reading these outlook posts. I almost chose Philadelphia as a waiver this past season, Philadelphia is the local team to where I am (Morgantown, WV), but ended up choosing Mexico City because they needed Center help. I find it less likely that i'll end up in Philadelphia, based on the information in this outlook post. I wish Philadelphia good luck in the playoffs this season, but not too much luck, because my team Mexico City is still alive. I'm really enjoying this series, I give it a solid 9 of 10 again for the second entry in the series. I've voted for Ottawa for the third entry in the series, but that choice is currently losing the poll. I look forward to learning more about the VHLM through future articles in this series.
