Top 4 Nations represented in the S66 Draft

[Victor 10,940]

It's Saturday so just about everything looks to have been written about in regards to the S66 draft. Maybe this has too. But I'm not going to check, so here's a ranking of the nations represented by the draftees.

 

United States 

Very American draft, S66 is. The top 3 prospects are all American and then a few more – Bert Meyers, Charlie Paddywagon, Kyle Sabertooth, Jerry Garcia. Understandably the US of A are WJC favourites and will get a big boost for the World Cup in the future.

 

Sweden 

Probably the next best single country represented in S66. Current fourth overall in TPE Max Kirbsson is Swedish, as are Ludvig Sederstrom, Andreas Sundell, and DWin Championship. Already good just for Sweden, but for Team Scandinavia things get even better with the addition of Mikko Aaltonen (Finland), Arnor Sigurdsson (Iceland), and Aron Nielsen (not actually sure, Faroe Islands? @solas).

 

Russia 

The biggest contributor to Team World's gold in S64 (probably) is getting another boost in S67 with the great Vladimir Pavlov... but also in S66 with Dimitri Volosenkov and Valeri Morozov featuring high in the rankings.

 

Czechia 

Possibly the most under-represented nation in the VHL, but making a resurgence this year. Shawnomir Jagr and Mat Tocco are two fine prospects putting the Czechs back on the map.

The Faroe Islands are territory of Denmark.  So Nielsen should qualify as Scandinavian.

Agreed - just wasn't sure if that was the Faroe flag.
