Calgary Wranglers Current VHL Standing: 4th Picks: CGY 1st, CGY 3rd, CGY 4th The reigning champions are finding themselves with a lot stiffer competition this season, as they currently sit in fourth place in the standings. They do currently hold their own first, but they did trade that last season in order to grab young depth prospects, so it will be interesting to see if they trade it once again this draft. Out of all the teams in the league, Calgary is the sole team that does not currently have any kind of long-term answer in place for the goalie position, as Stopko will be in his final season at the conclusion of this draft and there are no prospects in the VHLM system for Calgary that are set to replace him. The real question of who Calgary could draft depends on who they can stop going to Free Agency, as Keaton Louth, Evan Lawson and Mats Johnsson don't currently have Season 64 contracts. If they can keep them around, I can see Calgary potentially taking one of the top defensemen in this draft to replace Vihjalmsson as a more cap-friendly and active replacement on the defensive line. If they don't though, that could trigger a rebuild that'd see them open up to taking players at any position. New York Americans Current VHL Standing: 7th Picks: NYA 1st, TOR 1st, NYA 2nd, QUE 2nd, NYA 3rd, SEA 3rd, NYA 4th New York had three first round selections in last seasons draft and as of right now, two more first rounders from this draft will be joining them. New York have had a rough schedule to this point of the season, playing the Bears eleven times in sixteen games, but looking at the rosters, it does seem likely that New York will finish as one of the bottom two teams, so should definitely have one of the top three picks in this draft along with a Toronto pick that I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if it was given the fourth spot in the lottery. As for the Americans needs, they don't really need a goalie as Ismond Kingfisher will be locked in at goalie here for the foreseeable future. At forward, they did spend a couple of firsts on Scott Shawinganen and Dan Wilinsky this last draft along with bringing in Roctrion King, but as they don't have any VHLM prospects, they could definitely use some of these picks to fill up their forward lines, although the most likeliest outcome is that one of the picks is used to find the long-term defensive partner to Joseph McWolf. Quebec City Meute Current VHL Standing: 5th Picks: QUE 1st, CGY 2nd, QUE 3rd, QUE 4th Quebec are in an interesting place right now. Through seventeen games, they currently have the worst record of all the competing teams and, while it would be fair to point out that a third of their games have been against the league-leading Riga Reign, it's equally as fair to point out that their current record against competing teams does not look particularly promising (2 wins, 8 losses). While they don't hold their own second round selection, they do currently hold a pick in each of the four rounds and while they do have a couple of aging players on the team along with Sergei Komarov retiring, I believe they'll still try to compete providing they can keep Dragomir and Gate, who currently have no S64 contract at this moment. As for needs, goalie isn't a pressing one as they currently have the second highest TPA goalie in the league in Tristan Iseult and, while they could draft a goalie for the future if they believe they'll trade Iseult a few years from now, I don't think they'll use a top selection on a goalie. Given that Quebec's top two defensemen (Colton Rayne and Casey Jones) will be in their final year after this draft, going after a defenseman for the future makes a lot of sense, but they could also use a center as well as, with Komarov retiring, the team only has Rauno Palo at center, who doesn't exactly have a traditional skill-set. Seattle Bears Current VHL Standing: 3rd Picks: SEA 2nd, SEA 4th It's difficult to project right now how Seattle will do for the remainder of this season given their games to this point of this season. They do have a game in hand on the other top teams in the league and if they were to win that they would climb to the top of the standings, but at the same time over two thirds of their games have been against an actively rebuilding New York franchise and the only other team they've played more than once is the also rebuilding Helsinki Titans. What we can say though is that they have championship aspirations, therefore it will be safe to assume that their picks will be late on in the draft. As far as their roster for the following season, it's a predominantly young roster with many of it's players not even halfway through their careers, but unlike some of the other teams, they don't have any prospects set to come up through the VHLM. At goalie, the Bears have Roger Sterling, a player who, while probably expected to earn more TPE than he currently has, is still very much one of the league's top goalies and, given that he'll only be in his fourth season once Season 64 starts, will not need to be replaced anytime soon. Both of the defense and forward units are strong, but do have players that are close to being on their way out as, by the time this draft concludes, Gabriel McAllister will have already retired and defenseman David Kiaskov will be entering his final season, so there are holes for a young player to fill down the line. Toronto Legion Current VHL Standing: 2nd Picks: HSK 1st, TOR 2nd Toronto's Season 64 lineup and mission is an enigma wrapped in a mystery tied with a riddle bow. As of right now, the Legion are doing pretty well, although it would be fair to say that on paper, they are the weakest team of those that are competing and, given that the team is predominantly filled with inactives (only three of their skaters have had added any TPE to their player in the last two weeks), that gap looks set to increase. In addition, quite a few of their players are either going to be force-retired or hit very hard by regression and, given the still-not-fully-clarified status of Sebastien Ironside, who knows what the team will look like next season! What we do know though is that they have a very good pick in this draft in Helsinki's first, which I can't see being any later than fourth overall. Whether they actually use that to draft a player is anyone's guess, but they won't be using it or their second rounder on a goalie most likely, given that JB Rift is set to join the team in Season 64 or 65. They really could pick either a forward or a defenseman given the age of the skaters, but given that they have Tzuyu and Lew Bronstein providing active depth on defense, offense will be the greater need, especially if Ironside is no longer on the Legion for S64. HC Davos Dynamo Current VHL Standing: 8th Picks: DAV 1st, SEA 1st, DAV 2nd, DAV 3rd, TOR 3rd Currently sitting at the bottom of the standings and holding their own first round selection, it seems almost certain that the Dynamo will be selecting a player with one of the first three picks of the draft. As it stands, they can afford to look at the upcoming draft without too much emphasis on positional need, although given that they spent two draft picks on goalies in the Season 63 Draft along with trading for Rhett Stoffiday, another goalie taken in that draft after it had concluded, I doubt that Davos will be looking to spend too many more picks in that area. Currently Davos have two defensemen on the pro roster in Alvaro Jokinen and Jacob Smith along with James Lombardi in the minors (who may make the Davos team next season depending on his activity levels for the rest of the season). Given that Jokinen and Smith are pure welfare earners (neither have gotten over six capped TPE in a week in a while) and the draft is top heavy with defenseman (five of the top eleven prospects being defensemen), it is not out of the realm of possibility that Davos draft a potential star defenseman. Realistically though, it is more likely that they take forwards with the majority of their picks given that they only have two forwards on the pro roster over 200 TPA, and even one of those (Elias Sobeck) looks set to fall below that mark once regression hits next season. Helsinki Titans Current VHL Standing: 6th Picks: HSK 2nd, HSK 3rd, HSK 4th Despite being a team that is very much in it's rebuilding phase, Helsinki don't have their own first rounder, having traded it to Toronto in order to take two players with the fourth and thirteenth picks in the very well stacked Season 63 Draft. This means that while the Titans don't have as many picks in this draft to supplement the team with young talent, those who they do draft will be joining a whole host of promising young players after Helsinki picked nine times in the last draft, four of which have already made the VHL and a further four look on course to graduate from the VHLM after this season to make the VHL roster in Season 64. Helsinki doesn't need a goalie right now and likely for the foreseeable future, as Alexander Pepper is one of the most promising young goalies in the game. They only have one defenseman on the pro roster at the minute (Sidney Crosby), but Toby Fitzgerald and Jesse Wilson look certain to join him on the roster for Season 64, although that still leaves a hole for a fourth defenseman in a draft that has a lot of promising talents at that position. As for their forward group, they do have four young forwards in Konstantin Mulligan, Dan Montgomery, Julian Borwinn and Vaydar Odinsson along with Titan Kronos definitely featuring in Season 64 and two more set to potentially feature next year in Joey Boucher and Wlodzimierz Zajaczkowski. So as of right now, not a ton of holes for a young draftee to fill on Helsinki, a pretty interesting feat for such a young team. Riga Reign Current VHL Standing: 1st Picks: RIG 1st, RIG 2nd, RIG 3rd, RIG 4th, TOR 4th, DAV 4th Currently on top of the standings are the Riga Reign and given that they've had arguably the toughest schedule of any of the competing teams (they've played the other four teams in the playoff chase 13 times, compared to CGY's 8, QUE's 11, SEA's 2 and TOR's 10), right now it would be difficult to imagine a scenario where Riga aren't one of the top contenders for the Victory Cup this season. Because a lot of their talents have come through Free Agency, they've also managed to retain all of their draft picks, meaning that they will either have plenty of selections in the next draft or plenty of items to trade for more veteran talent come S64. Arguably the latter is more likely because, as of right now, there aren't really any holes for another young player to come in and fill. Goalie is occupied by Kallis Kriketers who will be a long term solution in net, they've addressed their defenseman needs by bringing in the veteran Joseph Bassolino (who they will need to resign to an extension next season) and bringing in players like Ryan Kastelic, Shawn Glade and Dylan Nguyen through the draft and, while they do have Jack Shephard in the final year of his career, there are plenty of players with several seasons of their career left to go like Podrick Cast, Edwin Preencarnacion, Leph Twinger, Mikka Pajari and Ryuu Crimson, not to mention they have Kisshan Shan, Rylan Peace and Anthony Dabarno who would all likely be above 200 TPE next season. If I had to say that the Reign needed anything, it would be a pass-first forward (the vast majority of the team's forwards lean heavily towards a scoring skill-set) and perhaps a more physical presence on the ice (Leph Twinger and Paolo Nano are the team's best checkers, but they are only at 70 each. Except for Davos, every other VHL team has a player with better checking than Riga's best). NEXT WEEK: FIRST MOCK DRAFT!
