So the draft has concluded, Ryan Sullivan Jr. went first overall and shortly after him - seconds really - Elias Dog Bird was drafted by HC Davos second overall. I knew this was coming simply because I asked my souces, simply walked into their office and asked 'He choosing Dahlberg?' Of course you all knew my answer, so it never really came as a surprise - however, what I was surprised by was the fall of Pat Svobada. I recorded a postcast on my iPhone, which unfortunately I can't seem to upload because it's a MP4 format and even SoundCloud won't accept it - not that I can actually find it on my phone in the first place. So now I'm stuck painfully typing out the rest of my TPE tasks carefully correcting auto-correct or else the entire website sees how horny I actually am and not just pornhub, capisce?

 

Admitedly I'm also lazy, and I don't care about some of the words that may have been auto corrected.

 

Pat Svobada fell to Quebec at fifth overall, and personally - in my own mock draft I did a podcast on (and I did listen back to it) I had Svobada going third. Why?

 

TPE earning potential.

 

For me stats mean jack shit, and that's a controversial opinion. 'Stats indicate how good a build is!', no I disagree - but we can agree to disagree. Stats indicate how shit STHS really is, and let's be honest I've pretty much seen the same opinion on the forums: hot garage. Not here to rant about STHS, just saying that stats aren't an indication of how good anything really is - at least in the minors.

 

Explain to me how Burnt Toast got a point per game at 76 TPE as a defender, meanwhile Kronos Bailey (for example) underachieved despite being a capped player the entire season. I think, what's more important, is line chemistry. Dahlberg was so effective because he had passers. Saskatoon's top line last season, Trepanier - Dabarno - Peace, were either a dominant line or invisible. Simply because the whole line was shoot first, pass questions later - wait, no, just pass later. I think there is a place for statistics, don't get me wrong, but it will never be the deciding factor should I ever become a VHL General Manager - not that I'm particularly interested in that role anyway at the moment... since my computer, well, just check the Discord.

 

Anywho.

 

My parting words

 

Congrats to all the new draftees that found a home during the S64 VHL Entry Draft.
