Claimed:Will Federov Sign as a VHLM FA? [1/2]

[Banackock 8,138]

Federov with a big bang in Russian Junior League play.

 

With the recent announcement that the VHL/VHLM will be allowing player agents to acquire and control a second player, a quick spurt in player discovery has been witnessed. With numerous new youth talent popping up every now and then, a new comer has come to join the bunch and he shouldn't be taken lightly. When it comes to the "2nd player per agent" situation, often or not, it likely will be less of a challenge to control your main player source as opposed to your second. However, in the case of Aleksei Federov, that will be a mistake to throw such a label on him. The young, roughly 6 foot 3 two-way dman from Russia claims he's the next rising star when it comes to the blue line and he's already throwing out his name, but isn't using his words as much as he is his development, determination and work ethic. The Russian Roulette blue liner as they called him in Russia, plays a strong game and would be an asset on any VHLM team at this point in the season. Defense is number one and checking is also up there - which is why he earned his name. He hits you, you shit your pants, you just don't know how much. It's  guessing game where the balls gonna land and it's a guessing game when he's gonna land you on your ass, but mark your words, it will happen.

 

Now that he and his agent have officially announced his coming to the VHLM and VHL hockey community, it's ultimately time for him to make the decision of whether or not he will be playing in the VHLM this season and sign as a Free agent with one of the teams, or if he will wait his time out and wait to be drafted to the VHLM. Some have stated that while they think it's maybe in his best interest to sit out and acquire a rumored 1 million US dollars for doing so, that playing could also help shape his game and see what needs to be worked on, developed and added to. Over the next period of time, he will be giving it much thought, potentially talking to a couple teams and making a decision. While we wait, we figured it was best that we gave it our best shot to try and narrow down his decision on where he ends up or what he ends up doing.

 

 

Bratislava Watchmen 

The Watchmen seemingly are the number 1 team on this list and there's numerous reasons for that. The first being that the team is in first and if there's one thing Federov loves to do more than send someone on their ass, it's win some fucking games. Bratislava is on top of the VHLM and are sitting fairly comfortable as well. Secondly, his player agent has huge history with the team and was once in fact a player and GM of the team chasing his way to 1 championship as a player and 2 as a GM. Lastly, he has history with the current GM and some of the players on the team.

 

Saskatoon Wild

With the understanding that he would be thrown on the 2nd line defensive pairing, he doesn't mind that a whole lot knowing that his job isn't as much to score right now, but to shut down the other team. He knows he won't be putting up the numbers, but adding him to their defensive depth could really help the Toon win some games and take the leap over the Watchmen. Another note, his player agent has fairly strong history with the Wilds current General Manager. Something that could potentially lead into him signing with the team!

 

Others or not signing at all

There is also the possibility that he goes to one of the other teams. Some have fairly good depth and other lack defensive help. The only two who can count him off the list are Brampton and Bern. While the chances of him not signing with a VHLM team are also there, we're only giving that about a 25% chance at that he likely will make up his mind in the next couple of days or so.

Review:

I hope that you can make Federov into a franchise man.

I'm setting hopes high, so now you have to choice but to succeed.
