Kendrick 4,741 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Another week and another few storylines to introduce to our rankings. Welcome back mates! Time to dive into this weeks prospects draft rankings. This week saw us gain another three prospects who all declared eligible for this years VHL Entry Draft. The biggest news regarding those three prospects is that we gained two goaltenders. Those two goaltenders make up the only players at their positions now. Patrick Brumm was the other prospect who joins a loaded left wing position in this draft. This week's Draft Rankings theme is Jersey Sales! However let's dive into our numbers & analysis first. This week saw some of our top dogs take a week off and the middle of the pack take giant leaps forward. Our biggest earner this week was Zach Voss who had a huge week in the training facility. Voss was tied with both Pete Stockton and Leandre St. Pierre for biggest mover this week. All three of those draftees moved up three spots and knocked fellow draftees down a few notches. Biggest surprise this week was the quietness of Zach Parechkin, Kol Mikaelson, Sean Blacker, World B. Free and Jordan Maverick. Those five draftees apparently felt they are top notch already and didn't attend practice. Although Parechkin did log practice hours but the teams practice hours sheet was lost. Now onto the feature presentation! Saul Hackett has been a budding young player for the Brampton Blades. It comes as no surprise that his jersey sales have been quite large. Hackett has given his team a fighting chance and the fans in Brampton have taken notice. His ability to perform on the ice has taken the media in Brampton by storm and #22 jerseys have been seen a lot around the arena. His jersey is on pace to sell above any other Brampton player in the past five seasons; quite astonishing for a player who seemingly came out of nowhere. Jonathan Killeen is a mainstay in the Saskatoon Wild depth chart. Not only that, it appears his jersey is a mainstay in the stands. Killeen was a bit of an unknown before the season started but the fans in the prairie city have been flocking to the teams tore to purchase Killeen jerseys. His mixture of smooth skating and leadership have provided the team with a glimmer of hope this year. The team store thanks him as well as total merchandise sales are up 17% from where there were this time last season in Saskatoon. Thomas Anderssen is the lone bright spot for the Ottawa Lynx that will be entering the upcoming draft. His jersey sales have been fairly steady all year, although they have dropped off recently. Usually jersey sales has a direct impact with the impact you give on the ice with your team. Anderssen has been somewhat invisible at practice lately but his jersey sales in Ottawa still do reflect his early surge. He is the number one overall pick frontrunner, so it's no surprise that his jersey sales are very high. Parechkin has been leading his team no the ice and off it. The team store in Bern is soaring, which might be because of the wealth in the country. However, Parechkin's #23 jersey is the tops telling of all of this years potential draftees. It remains to be seen if someone can catch him though. World B. Free has the second highest jersey sales total of all the draftees this year. That has a lot to do with the name on the back of the jersey, but also speaks volumes on his skills. Some fans buy his jersey so that it appears they purchased this jersey for nothing. Well considering the state of the total ticket sales in Moscow, the jerseys are being sold for next to nothing. World B. Free's on-ice play has contributed to the real fans though as well. A girl in the VHLM, what is this sorcery? Well it's a thing and her jersey sales are quite high because of it. Although many don't think she will amount to much, otherwise we figured the sales would be a lot higher for her jerseys. Olivia Diamond's play on the ice has been solid and some of the sexist fans in Oslo say they ant nothing to do with a female on the back of their jerseys nameplate. Another Bern Royal making a impact on the ice is Jeff Hamilton who declared later than a lot of the draftees. However, jeff's jersey has been rising a lot higher and technically his jersey is on pace to break teammate Zach Parechkin's totals. Hamilton goes by the same number old time NHL veteran Jaromir Jagr uses, which may influence some Bern fans. Mr. Stockton is a teammate of World B. Free in Moscow and his jersey sales rival his teammates numbers. Stockton wear a popular number and we've found in time that lower numbers do sell at a lot faster rate than higher ones. Pete has a big impact on the ice and is doing very well in the training facilities. Hard work goes a long way and fans take notice of your dedication. Stockton is also a possible layover for next years Moscow squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
