Milldaddy 32 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 New rookie defensemen Archie Wagner has drawn a lot of buzz over the recent weeks. He is a former basketball turned hockey player, and has been pretty public on his transition from one game to the next. We sent a message out to Archie asking what his top 3 choices for the VHL would be. Archie sent back with this response, also adding that they are in no particular order. Helsinki Titans This is a choice that makes sense for two reasons. Those two reasons are because Archie loves to turn teams around, which he would have a chance to do with the Titans. They hold the 2nd to worst record in the VHL, so there is no question they are a dumpster fire right now. The 2nd reason is they need defensemen. They have one great defensemen in Don Draper, and a solid on in Penis Hudson, but after that it is a big question mark. We could see the Titans go defense early in the draft, but I would be surprised if they didn't take a forward with their first pick. Maybe Archie will end up falling to them. Riga Reign Riga is another team that doesn't have much depth at D. Nobody on the team has put more than 400 practice hours in, so they aren't very good at stopping the leagues high powered offenses. Archie Wagner would be a man that could change that however. He loves to work hard, so he would get over 400 practice hours in no time. He is also physical, which this team is lacking right now. Riga is having a surprisingly good season despite not having a great defense. Archie Wagner may be the guy that puts them over the hump. Calgary Wranglers The Calgary Wranglers are the last team on Archie's top 3 list. They are another team that is struggling this year. They also don't have anyone with 400 practice hours like Riga. Archie is again a guy that works hard so he would be there in no time. The Wranglers have went defense in the last few drafts though, so will they decide to take a risk and go there again in a league that is powered by offenses? Stay tuned and find out.
