Take a look at this picture. What do you see? The top five youngsters drafted to the VHLM in the dispersal draft What don't you see? The wonderful and potential superstar Francis Zach Morgan. He was relegated to the second round after all the hype that was coming out for him, and has his career start on a low note having to prove himself to the world that being drafted so late was a major mistake. Who came ahead of him?

 

1. Fabio Jokinen, a defenseman with a lot of potential and the best pure player in this draft class as it currently stands.

2. Phil Shankly, a winger with a scoring touch and legs like the wind, another high talent player.

3. Edwin Threencarnacion, arguably the best goaltender of this draft class but a surpise to be picked this early considering his position.

4. Aeschylus Jigglejawns CXXXVII, a strange defenseman with an odd family and one of the biggest "high risk high reward" players with his mental fortitude (or lack therof).

5. Daryl Dortch, a winger who is somewhat better than Morgan in some respects, but could not be able to adjust to the speed of the game with his high-checking style.

6. Rhett DeGrath, another goalie with a lot of talent but a surprising pick this high considering he isn't a physical wonder but it just tall and somewhat quick coming into this draft.

7. Die Domi, another winger and another high checking style that may not be able to adapt. Many people talk about his work ethic, but it is only speculation right now.

8. Brent Hardy, another defenseman with some potential but could be nothing more than a defensive defenseman, really.

 

Then came Francis Zach Morgan, surprisingly the first center to be chosen in this draft, which is a strange thing to see considering how important centers are to winning hockey games. There is speculation as to why Morgan dropped this low, and a lot of it has to do with the Morgan preceeding him who fell off a cliff in work ethic and was traded to just about every team in the VHL, but with this Morgan's appeal to the league showing how much he is going to work going forward, it is a strange thing to see all these GMs shy away from him.

 

What does this mean for Francis Zach Morgan in the VHLM? He is going to be the centerpiece of the Yukon Rush, a team he is not familiar with, and because he will have a lot of responsibility from the get-go he is going to need to continue to work out as hard as he can so that he can be one of the best prospects going forward and potentially be one of the top players picked in the VHL draft next season. But right now he is not considered to be a top prospect and he will have to work twice as hard to show the world that he will be a future star that will be invaluable to a team's chances at winning a cup.
