Tyler 885 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Early Look at Top Prospects for Season 39 Boomgarden may be the best player right now, but Williams has generational potential that cannot be overlooked. With the Season 38 VHL Draft taking place mid week, the scouts are already looking ahead to next year's Season 39 Draft. The race for number one selection is a three horse race with Tyrone Williams, Koji Yamazaki and Mikkel Boomgaarden being the front runners thus far. Most scouts place Williams ahead of the pack, but admit, the race is stil open right now. "There is a lot of time between us and the draft. Right now, Williams is the top pick, but in one month and two months? Who knows what will happen," said one anonymous scout for a VHL team. Williams is a power forward from Michigan who knows how to find the back of the net and is one of the hardest players to stop in recent memory. There is no real guideline for how to stop the 18 year old left winger, it is simply possible to contain him. His weakness is that he has hands of stone and is not much of a passer. Yamazaki is a large defnder from Japan who is known for his positional play as well as his fluid skating and hard checking approach to the game of hockey. He has all the tools to be a number one defender in the league, although some question if he has the longevity to be a true franchise player for a team. The third player is Mikkel Boomgaarden who is another player from Michigan. He is a 22 year old defender who is the very definition of franchise potential. He can shoot, hit and is one of the most positionally sound prospects in a while. He is likely the most talented player right now, but we still see Williams as the number one at this point in time because he is a generational talent who seems unstoppable at the junior level.

Samurai7 102 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 A Koji mention...awesome. All the recreates deserve to go before me based on their history and to be honest I will just be happy to be drafted and start my career properly with Yamazaki. I know he won't be Mr Irrelevant, but even if he was, I would be completely happy with it. Am happy to have made the list despite starting with 0 TPE and no reputation. Cannot wait until the season starts and am updated and on a roster. I love this place.
