Claimed: VHLM's Top 3 (Left Wing Edition)

[Beaviss 4,956]

 

On this weeks Beaviss's Top 3. We have have Left Wings some say its one of the weaker positions in this years upcoming draft. Some Scouts believe that it holds some high end skill up top and some potential sleepers the farther down you look. Now to get to the rankings.

 

 

Jeff Gow Ottawa Lynx 

1. Being a top 5 pick in this years past VHLM Entry draft is a hard position to be in let alone be a 2nd overall! but Gow has not let down. Being the leader in goals scored for the Left Wing position is quite an accomplishment hes not the leader in points but on a surging Ottawa Lynx team he adds quite alot of scoring power to their top line.

Gow is 20th in total points scored so far this year in the VHLM and scouts are knocking his lack of passing as the main reason hes 20th. (Team sits currently in 1st place)

 

Alexander Mcmanahan Saskatoon Wild 

2. Alexander could be argued as the top Left Winger in the VHLM, his team is really ramping up and hes one of the reasons of their success of late. Scoring 39 points he leads the Left Wing class in points scored by 3 points.

He is a more complete player then Gow but he doesn't 

have the raw goal scoring talent that Gow possesses.

Alexander is usually seen as a two way player, his scoring and playmaking skills are lackluster but is somehow getting it done every night.

(Team sits currently in 3rd place)

 

Ozamataz Buckshank Yukon Rush 

3. Buckshank is currently sitting in 3rd place in points for Left Wings. Known more for his physicality then playmaking or shot its surprising to see him in 3rd for points scored. He also sits 6th in Hits which is what most teams and scouts believed would be the only leader board he would be on. Scouts are also not sure on how he is 3rd in points when the Rush are playing as badly as they are. The Rush are last in the league in Goals Scored and have currently scored 28 less goals then the 4th placed team. (Team sits currently in 5th place)

 

Honorable Mentions:

Ben Green 

Shelton Kenzie

Phil Bennington 

 

This years Left Wings are under producing compared to the other positions in the league. Gow for example is 20th in points. Mcmanahan is sitting at 14th and Buckshank is sitting at 29th in points. 

No one is quite sure why Left Wings are not producing. Some scouts think that because of the low scoring Left Wings it will cause them to fall further back in the draft coming up with some solid later round picks if a General Manager risks it.
