Las Vegas Draft Recap

[Bayley 419]

The S72 VHLM Dispersal Draft took place last evening in front of many fans looking forward to seeing who would be on their team next. Let's take a look at whom the Aces drafted. 

 

 

7th Overall: D, Micah Adrienne

With the 7th pick, they took 6'6" defenseman, Micah Adrienne. He played 23 games for the Philadelphia Reapers last season putting up 17 points in 23 games. He is noticeably a really defensive player but been adding some offensive talent. He will look to bolster (likely) the top pairing this year for the Aces. 

 

20th Overall: RW, Gregg Stallion

With the 20th pick, they took winger, Gregg Stallion. Stallion played 68 games for Houston last season putting up 95 points in those games. He had 44 goals and 51 assists which is absolutely amazing. He had 9 PPG which is something that the Aces will absolutely be looking for this season. He is definitely sporting a high shooting attribute which means this guy likes goals. 

 

46th Overall: G, Nils Friedriksen

With the 46th pick, they went for a need at goaltender, something that a lot of people went higher, but this guy is a steal with this pick. He already has 134 TPE coming back to the Aces as he was with them last season. He had a 41-27-4 record with a .838 Save Percentage and a 3.61 GAA, but this year with Adrienne adding to the squad, those numbers are looking to improve. He was much needed and will be welcomed back with open arms. 

 

59th Overall: RW, Gary Rush

With the 59th pick, the Aces took winger Gary Rush. This guy is looking to be a defensive forward first with some scoring talent. Honestly, I love the look of where this guy is going in terms of build. He is a new player, so has not played yet in the VHLM. He is absolutely ready to hit the Aces. He did already update this week, so he is gearing and ready to go. 

 

67th Overall: C, Jack Mount

This guy looks to be an absolute steal. He already did join the locker room and has been wanting to get better. He is going to be the playmaker on the squad while everyone else decides that they wanted to score. You need someone to set them up. I think Mount will be that exact guy to do exactly that. What a steal with the 67th pick. 

 

81st Overall: D, Joakim Lund

With the last pick, they took Joakim Lund. He did play only 2 games last year for the Ottawa Lynx before being sat on the bench. He has not updated in a couple weeks, so hopefully he comes back to life for the Aces.
