VHLM S48 draft first round preview

[atw2592 286]

1. Pietro Maximoff - D (97 TPE)

Maximoff is the consensus number one overall pick and if he doesn't go in this spot, Oslo will surely be drafting him at #2. Highest TPE candidate and a great starting build as well.

 

2. Bobby Digital - D (86 TPE)

Clearly the second best player in the draft, Digital will most likely be scooped up by the Storm at number two overall. He will pair up with Michael Burch to create a solid first line defensive crew for the Storm in S48.

 

3. Ilya Kopralkov - G (70 TPE)

Assuming Oslo selects number three overall as well, they will likely choose a franchise goaltender in Kopralkov. He will continue to improve steadily throughout the season and guide Oslo to a sure fire playoff bid.

 

4. Titan Kronos - D (68 TPE)

If Oslo chooses fourth instead of third, Kronos will be the pick. He has proven to be a great member and updater and will be a star where ever he ends up.

 

5. Nikki Kissanen - D (59 TPE)

Kissanen will be the fourth defenseman taken in the first five picks, which is unusual but warranted for sure.

 

6. Sebastian Laine - C (46 TPE)

I may be a bit biased, but I believe that Laine will be a first round pick and the first offensive player off the board. He has been a great waiver addition for the storm.

 

7. Tobias Klingberg - D (48 TPE)

While Klingberg is the fifth-best defenseman in the draft, he is still more valuable than any other offensive player left on the board.

 

8. AK47 - G (44 TPE)

I wouldn't be surprised if someone takes a chance on a goalie earlier in the first round, but he surely falls no further than 8th overall.

It happens. Part of the reward for sticking around so long haha

 

First-Gen talent often gets overlooked early on but you'll get your spotlight come the VHL draft. Some GM's like gambling on first gen players, especially if you can prove yourself.
