The Wild West of the VHLM

[johnnyhockey42 13]

Howdy Partner.  Welcome to the 65th season of the VHLM.  It's a new frontier in the minor leagues with two brand new expansion teams and an exciting, unpredictable dispersal draft behind us.  Some teams are rebuilding, some are trying to stay on top of the scoring sheet.  There were some great steals and jumps in the draft that are up in the air and may make or break a team, so the rest of this offseason should be interesting.  I don't think the big moves are over just yet - from what it seemed, some GM's may still have some tricks up their sleeves. Expansion teams, I'm talking to you.

 

The Houston Bulls had not been on my radar until last night's draft, but the smart moves and enthusiasm coming from its GM makes me believe that they will be a team that cannot be messed with this season.  However, while the Bulls picked up future stars Maximilian Kirbsson and Kari Jurri, the Philadelphia Reapers were able to acquire Elasmobranch Fish, an insanely talented prospect.  These players are high-value VHLMers that can be the face of a franchise.  Other teams may have some very interesting offers for these prospects, so keep your eyes and ears open, boys.
