Renomitsu 934 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Having reviewed the eight teams in the VHLM, it's pretty clear that the European Conference outstrips the North American conference insofar as talent is concerned - a notion supported by the Dispersal Draft and retained Entry Draft players. While the Red Wolves and Royals are the obvious favorites for the title based on dispersal, the Oslo Storm have a fairly big talent advantage over the average VHLM team. Sandro Clegane, Wesley Babiy, and Giovanni Reuel are three players with 100+ TPE that have remained on the Storm roster, allowing them to compete (at least for the moment) with the much-hyped Red Wolves and Royals. It's worth discussing the North American talent in spite of the apparent overmatching: the Blades still possess solid overall talent with Deschamps, Lee, and Hackett, and the Wild could be competitive with the newly-acquired Carson Shmyr. The important part in all this, however, is that the European Conference has a TON of human players, and even if MC Hammer/Erik Hedman play out of their minds as inactives, they probably can't overcome the depth of the Red Wolves, Storm, and Royals. It feels like the European finals in the VHLM are going to be more interesting than the overall league finals - and it's not obvious as to who the top two European teams will be. Predictions?

diamond_ace 3,112 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 At the time of writing, I also had Evgeny Nezhmetdinov and Coca Cola over 100 tpe. Now, I no longer have Clegane, but I have Marquis Hyvarinen and Bubba Nuck. Plus it's only a matter of time before Olivia Diamond gets to 100. Oslo will be in the conference finals, mark that down now.

Glaciem 86 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Have made two consecutive finals. Would be a shame to start missing them now.
