Claimed: Sergei admits hes bored in VHLM [1/2]

[Gooningitup 1,290]

Like last year, this years VHLM is unbalenced. So much so, that you might aswell hand the Storm the cup now and call it a season. This has lead to many prospects, being bored, a few even opting to just stat at the gym till the VHL draft. Why the league allows such unbalence is beyong anyone. Its led many to believe the league will be folding soon. 

 

Sergei even admits despite hitting the gym hard he would rather just stay home. He strongly feels their is no point to a season when their is already a winner. Sure teams can beat the Storm, but in a 7 game series is highly unlikely. Much like Vegas last year, though they almost blew it a few times. Sergei has stopped caring about the standings, only focusing on improving his own stock for the VHL draft. Its unclear to this point what will happen next seaso , it seems Sergei would rather play up than in a league of such imbalence.

 

He realizes this may not be in his control however, that he may need another season in the minors. Even though his development curve has been great. His offensive talent, and other skills remain very raw. He will likely hear his name called mid first, aslong as he continuez to develop. Though any sign of slowing down, might bump him down as a few fear his commitment might die down. To this point he is pushing himself hard, however its unlikely he ever craxks the top 4 in such a deep draft. 

 

Sergei has currently showed amazing skill in the face off dot winning, 60 percent as a rookie. However he truely has shown hes a raw skill in terms of offense with only five points. Will he be able to change his fortune in the VHL, the season is half over, can he atleast get it going abit in the second half?. His minus 4 is not a huge deal for a team that struggles to score. Vegas needs more out of him, and he has been seen working on his shot. The results have lead to 2 goals so far, so its possible he can improve with more training.

 

He does not however want to get too far away from the game he knows best, its advice given too him by Pavel. Who admitted this offseason, the change from center to defense. Caused many development issues as he tried to hard to focus on areas he was not the strongest in. Seems Sergei has listened to his cousin, and will likely continue to develop and hone 4 skills in his early junior career. Those 4 are scoring, faceoffs, defense, and checking. Not known for scoring early on, his trainers showed him in Vegas just how great his size can be when winding up a shot.

Just like the Las Vegas Aces last season. It was really no contest before the season even started.

Yea some people thought that if we cut the VHLM teams that it would be better for parity but it almost seems like the opposite. However, it has only been 1 1/4 seasons since the 5 team VHLM has been introduced, these two 'super' teams had acquired picks during the old ways so maybe we need to give the new VHLM a chance still and hopefully things will change. I mean I had just 2 draft picks last season in Sasky but we took Vegas to 6 games just by virtue of some great waiver pickups
