My Random VHL Thoughts - S98 - Part 4

[Fire Tortorella 2,686]

• So, VHLM Dispersal Draft is this Friday (I think?) this is the first time in a very long time I'm actually somewhat active with my player and not a top TPE earner or "known" member, so I'm curious to see where I go. With doing zero research I would guess the 3rd round? I don't know how many teams are even in the VHLM anymore but I'm gonna guess around 10 so that would have me around 30ish on the overall TPE list which sounds right to me. Would be cool to be drafted to the same team as @eaglesfan036 but not required.
• There was a nice discussion in a media spot the past two weeks or so about the effects of discipline on hits and PIMs. I thought it was interesting that hits were looked at as negatively as they were - the old (and perhaps ancient at this point) thought process was that hits were the best way we had to measure forced turnovers, so hits were good even if they led to PIMs. I forget if it was part of the discussion or not but it would be interesting to see if discipline actually reduces PIMs in builds with a high amount of checking. We know they reduce hits, but curious if the reduce the rate of PIMs per hit.

Pretty sure they don't.
