atw2592 286 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Top ten North American VHL players under 500 TPE 1. (S43) RW - E'Twaun Delicious, TPE: 482 This guy is the definition of a leader. If you're looking for someone who can control the puck and set up an offense, look no further than Delicious. He is a clear first line player with the potential to lead any team to a championship. He's not going to dominate on the defensive end, but he is perfect in power play situations and can grow a young center with his ability to take pressure off of him. 2. (S46) D - Jeff Hamilton, TPE: 473 (46 Banked) Hamilton is currently making the switch to defense, which may take him some time to get accustom to. He has an interesting build for a defensemen. A very low checking rating, a moderate but still low strength rating, and not an elite passer. Still, his scoring and puck control ability is unmatched. He will play like a faster Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the NHL. 3. (S44) C - Thaddeus Humbert, TPE: 455 Humbert is a balanced center who can do it all out on the ice. He scores, defends, controls the puck, and most importantly, he is a leader. He is a lot like the man on the top of this list in a sense that he can be a first line player despite his relatively low TPE count. 4. (S42) LW - Benjamin Zeptenbergs, TPE: 423 (7 Banked) Zeptenbergs is a flat out scorer. He is definitely capable of leading a team in goals and should be counted on to provide offense on every shift. He has a knack for getting to the front of the net and using his strength to gain position and put the puck in the net on a rebound. Not only that, he can also go coast to coast for a goal at the drop of a hat. He is a very dangerous player that should be accounted for every time he's on the ice. 5. (S45) D - Arcturus Mengsk, TPE: 422 Mengsk is a two-way defensemen who is a threat to make a play from the blue line on each shift. While not the most aggressive player, he can still play defense with the best of them. He has a devastating poke check and can quickly take the puck in the other direction if you're not careful. 6. (S46) RW - Niels Skovgaard, TPE: 415 Skovgaard is your typical offensive juggernaut, but can also defend with the best of them. He could be the most underrated player on our top ten list because he can beat you in so many different ways. He can make plays anytime he steps on the ice. 7. (S41) RW - Jakub Rhinehart, TPE: 392 Rhinehart is a pure scorer who really isn't asked to do much other than put the puck in the net. Not that he could do much else in the first place. 8. (S46) RW - Shawn Muller, TPE: 391 Muller is another all-around player who really has no weaknesses. With more experience he will turn into a dominant forward 9.(S47) LW - Tom Lincoln, TPE: 373 Lincoln is the youngest player on this list, bringing more of a playmaking type of game to the table. He loves to handle the puck and get it to the scorers, but can also defend and score a little bit when needed. 10. (S46) RW - LeAndre St. Pierre, TPE: 372 LSP is a mini Patrick Kane. He is an amazing scorer and can dance with the puck better than almost anyone else on this list. He is working on other aspects of his game to make him into a true all-around threat on the ice.

Admin Victor 10,940 Posted March 12, 2016 Admin Share Posted March 12, 2016 I think you've got mixed up in your Hamiltons. Which is perfectly acceptable, they're all terrible people. I do find it amusing Jeff's build is so no defensive it feels like he just moved from forward.

evrydayimbyfuglien 600 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Is this just top 10 based on TPE under 500? Nice little write up on each player. I also hope to make it on this list in the near future. Keep up the articles, I like em. Didn't see any grammatical errors or any other issues. Nice job.
