RISER OF THE WEEK

 Lucas Brandt - C - 108 TPE

Now, I know Lucas Brandt isn't one of our top three risers of the week, but I would like to make an exception, because he's made a lot of great moves recently, moving him up 4 spots in my rankings. Not only was he named one of the World Juniors GMs, he was also named the AGM of Halifax in the VHLM. Establishing yourself in the league is a massive step for a first gen, and removes almost all the risk attached to the status of being a first gen. Even before earning either of these jobs, twists was very active on the forums, and earned TPE in abundance. Further demonstrating his commitment to the league, he donated as well this week. With 31 goals and 66 points already this season, Brandt is a goal scorer, who doesn't sacrifice the defensive side of the game in the process. He is definitely one to watch, and I could easily see him climbing to first round status by season's end.

ACHIEVEMENT  CENTRE’S PLAYER OF THE WEEK

 Gino DiGiannantonio - RW - 232 TPE

My third ranked prospect in the draft, Gino is a pure sniper. Nothing more, nothing less. With 46 goals on the season already, which is tied for fifth in the league, he is absolutely tearing up the VHLM in his draft season, making his case to be a top pick. He also has 86 points, which is second in this draft class. His defensive game is also impressive, currently being his second highest attribute. When discussing his TPE earning, it has to be mentioned that he has not missed one capped TPE yet in any of his full weeks. He has also hit 20+ TPE in five separate weeks. It is all but guaranteed that any team who lands Gino will be extremely happy with what they get.
