Claimed: Ottawa Lynx Draft Day and new General Manager [1/2]

[Beaviss 4,958]

(Draft Floor VLHM Draft S56)

 

Our article begins as the Ottawa Lynx sign @Beaviss as the new General Manager of the organization. Taking over after @Kendrick stepped down. @Kendrick left the Ottawa Lynx in great shape as he stepped down, primed to be a cup contender with there stellar defense and amazing goal tending. @Beaviss knew that the offensive was severely depleted in the off season as most of the offensive that carried the team last year was either taken in the draft and or called up to the VHL. We are going to have an inside depth look at how the new General Manager thought and why he drafted each player.

 

2.  Ottawa Lynx: Jeff Gow  @Fire Hakstol

@Beaviss Was gifted the 2nd overall pick and he did not waste it. Being one of the deepest drafts in VHLM history he took the player that he believed that could carry the team offensively. Gow being the fastest goal scoring machine in the draft would fit perfectly into the plans of the Lynx as they needed to rebuild there offensive ability. 

 

7.  Ottawa Lynx: Ike Arkander @STZ

As rumors swirled just before the draft that the Lynx might be losing their star goaltender. The Lynx General Manager picked up there sleeper pick of the draft. Ike being the brick wall they need to build a championship team fell right into their laps. His quick reaction time and hand speed really impressed the Lynx GM and he knew that Arkander would be the best goal tender in the draft.

 

12.  Ottawa Lynx: Oskar Ingolfsson @Megster

Rumors where that the Oslo General Manager was really high on this player but the Ottawa Lynx General Manager could not let this defensive first forward fall from his grasp. Oskar being the defensive checking stud he is will slot perfectly into the Lynx's second line as the large hard hitting checking forward that can knock the opposition off the puck.

 

WE HAVE A TRADE TO ANNOUNCE @Tagger

The  Ottawa Lynx send the 17th pick overall to the  Las Vegas Aces for the 19th overall pick and the 49th overall pick and conditions for both teams.

 

19.  Ottawa Lynx (From Vegas): Shiro @Confusion

This trade was the Lynx's first trade and was considered a bad trade by some reporters. The Lynx General Manager explained after the draft that the Aces General Manager @Tagger had a verbal agreement that they would be picking Colton Rayne, knowing that, they could move down and also get there man Shiro with that pick. The conditions to the deal also would have the Aces pick 

Matt Denning with there 24th overall and then move him after the draft to the Lynx.  

 

22.  Ottawa Lynx: David Kiaskov @Exlaxchronicles

One of the definite sleeper picks of the draft and one of the players the Lynx were very high on. We are going to go to @Beaviss for his scouting report "We believe that David could be one of the greatest players from the latter half of this draft, his potential is through the roof if he applies himself and practices hard enough he could easily make it onto our 2nd line by the end of the year and start on our first line next year."

 

24.  Las Vegas Aces: Matt Denning @jvd

(Now Lynx Property)

The Lynx were very high on his player as well but were unsure of if they were able to snag both David and him.

The Lynx General Manager made the trade to make sure that he got both of his players he needed. Denning has great potential if he applies himself and could also be one of the sleepers of the draft his hard checking and scoring style resembles some of the great checkers of the VHL. If he decides that he wants to be competitive he could be one of the best wingers on the Lynx by year end

 

The other players that the Lynx drafted further down the draft are going to be playing on the team this year but the Lynx General Manager is unsure on how much better they are going to be then they are currently. 

 

To sum the signing of @Beaviss and the draft into a sentence the great @JardyB10 had this to say

"An awesome draft top to bottom! Bow before your king, Beaviss! Between these guys and returning scrubs we are definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with."

 

The Lynx squad looks forward down a long tunnel with a nice shiny cup at the end of it.

 

LETS GO LYNX!

Man, well deserved on getting that GM job in Ottawa! In my beginning days on this website, they were the first team I ever joined. It's obvious you are going to do quite well.

Review: 

Exceptional write up man. Loved how you broke down each pick with your reasonings. Ottawa holds a place in my heart and it's nice to see it's in good hands as the old crowd moves out and the new regime moves in.
