Note: For future weekly editions, up/downs will reflect gains/drops from over the entire week.

 

So for the first set of weekly rankings for the Season 66 Draft, I'm going to focus on the top 10 first generation players (members who are on their first VHL player) of this Draft Class in TPE, looking at how well they've been doing and what else they can potentially be doing to move up even further in the rankings.

 

#1 - Karl Jurri @hockeyis66

 

Having previously been in the SHL and GOMHL, Jurri is no stranger to hockey leagues and is currently just about seeing off his nearest first-gen challenger for the mark of top first-gen in this draft class. Creating at the trade deadline, Jurri has had as much time as possible to earn TPE prior to the draft and, had it not been for Shane Mars recreate TPE, would be pushing him hard for second place overall in these draft rankings. In regards to Jurri's TPE earning, he's been capping almost every week (the only exceptions being weeks without Trivia and his first week in the league), and has donated twice already in his short career to date. The only thing I believe he may have missed out on given that he came from the SBA was the Affiliate Creation Bonus, that would net him an extra 5 TPE. If he keeps this up, Jurri might wind up pushing Ryan Kastelic for most TPE for a first-gen player pre-draft.

 

#2 - Maximillian Kirbsson @Kirby

 

Despite joining a week later than Jurri, Maximillian Kirbsson has done a very good job to find himself only a single TPE behind Jurri. The main reason why it's so close is that along with Kirbsson claiming the Affiliate Creation Bonus for 5 TPE, he's also spent some of his player store money on the first generation doubles week. Like Jurri, Kirbsson is pretty much capping every single week outside of the weeks where there is no Trivia, so it could well come down to whichever of the two finds a way to cap in weeks without trivia (either through reviewing or taking advantage of the new rule that allows players to submit both VHL.com articles and player cards in the same week) that will decide who enters this draft with the most TPE.

 

#3 - Dimitri Volosenkov @SirRupertBarnes

 

Techincally Volosenkov is not a first generation player given that he has actually had a player before Volosenkov (Nick Ward), but I've decided to let it slide because he didn't actually earn any TPE with Ward. Unlike the two players that came before, Volosenkov is currently our highest ranking first-gen to have found us through reddit. While he is set to lose some TPE in the near future (a misunderstanding on how the Free Week works currently has him with an additional 12 TPE to his name), he still is very much one of the top young prospects heading into this draft, and will gain lots more TPE in the future thanks to his recruitment of fellow S66 draftee Rhye Tyr. However, there is definitely still room for improvement in regards to earning capped TPE as, unlike Jurri and Kirbsson, Volosenkov has never made the 12 TPE weekly cap. Writing 150 words for a VHL.com article for 2 TPE or doing 5 minute podcasts for VHL Radio for 3 TPE are the small tasks that could get Volosenkov on a level playing field with the other top first gens.

 

#4 - Mikko Aaltonen @GRZ

 

The top first-gen to find his way to the league through recommendation of another player (fellow S66 draftee Richard Hejstel), Mikko Aaltonen looks set to reward his recruitee with big TPE gains as he looks set to easily surpass the 200 TPE milestone required for Hejstel to claim 10 TPE. While there was an adaptation period at the start of his career, Aaltonen has recovered to go on to hit the TPE cap in the last three weeks, which shows good versatility in earning given that there has not been Trivia awards the last couple of weeks. Keeping up that pace will ensure Aaltonen's place as a top five prospect in this draft.

 

#5 - Rhye Tyr @Plate

 

As mentioned earlier in the draft, Rhye Tyr found his way into the league through Dimitri Volosenkov and the pair have done quite a few podcasts together. In comparison to Volosenkov, Tyr has a better record of hitting the TPE cap, having done so in three of his six weeks where he has earned TPE, plus Tyr also holds an assistant GM role of the Saskatoon Wild. However, of slight concern is that he's yet to register any TPE output this week and, going off his change of colour in username, may no longer be a part of the VSN crew, which was a big reason for his TPE record to date. If he can find ways to get back to the TPE cap without the job, he remains a very good prospect for this draft.

 

#6 - Julius Freeman @rjfryman

 

While he is only sixth out of the first-generation players in TPE, Julius Freeman may actually be the most exciting member of this draft class. While he's 34 TPE off being the top first-gen in this draft, that's only because Freeman has been in the league for just three weeks. If you compare that to the seven weeks that Karl Jurri has been in the league, it would be more than fair to speculate that, had Freeman joined at the deadline, he would have without doubt been the number one first-gen in this draft class. One of the activities that has helped him nearly eclipse 150 in just three weeks is his participation in the lottery, which can grant players very attractive prizes, such as the 10 TPE prize Freeman earned at the end of February. 

 

#7 - Arnor Sigurdsson @bluesfan55

 

Another trade deadline creation, Sigurdsson has been a solid and consistent earner while developing in the VHLM for the Yukon Rush. While he was originally a player who consistently submitted for welfare, the last three weeks he has submitted Media spots instead, netting him more TPE for his player. He has yet to hit the 12 TPE cap yet during his career (his best week to date was a 9 capped TPE week three weeks ago), but he's not really that far off hitting that mark. If he adds 150 word VHL.com articles and some slightly better scores in the trivia to his current weekly tasks (Media and press conferences), he'll be at the top of his game.

 

#8 - Bert Meyers @RunnerBert11

 

The story of Bert Meyers to this point is very similar to that of the previously mentioned Julius Freeman as he's another player who, despite only joining three weeks ago, ranks very highly among the eligible draftees. Like Freeman, Meyers hit the TPE cap in his first two weeks in the league and, while he's only at 10 for this week thus far, I presume he may be waiting for Trivia results to get him to the 12 TPE for the week. Another player who can't do any wrong at the minute and looks set to climb very high in these rankings should his form continue.

 

#9 - Raphael Nazarians @LIL V O D AK

 

Nazarians created a week after the deadline, so didn't have quite as much time to earn TPE as some of his fellow prospects, but he hasn't stopped that from getting into the top ten in First-gen TPE. Nazarians got off to an extremely promising start, hitting the TPE cap in his first week in the league, which is a good sign as it proves that he is a player who can hit the cap. However since then, he's had a bit of inconsistency with earning TPE, as while he had one more week where he hit the 12 TPE cap, he's also had three weeks where he only submitted affiliate welfare. While affiliate welfare alone can help you become a solid role player in the league, he's already shown he's got the potential to be much more than that so it will be interesting to see how his earnings maintain in the lead-up to the draft.

 

#10 - Owen May @FacebookFighter

 

The top goalie talent in this draft, Owen May is another draftee who has done a lot in a short amount of time, having created his player four weeks ago. He's pretty much done as much as one player can do to get as much TPE as he can, hitting the cap in three of his four weeks in the league. In fact, the only reason that he's behind other players who created late on in the process like Meyers and Freeman is the awards they received through donating and it doesn't look like May claimed the six TPE he was eligible for during the Special Event last week. Outside of that though, May has proven he has the earning potential to be a very good goalie talent in the future.

This draft will quite possibly be 3 rounds deep with players breaking the 200 TPE cap. I've said it before, but the @Recruitment Crew has done an incredible job!

 

Vancouver wont be able to get even close to the cap though.......

I hope you know I'm going to write this when I have space under the TPE cap to do so.
