Good day VHL Community and Top of the morning to you, especially to the focus of this article - S73 VHL Draft Class. With S72 having surpassed the 50 games played mark and less than 20 games left it's CRUNCH time. Since we’ve last checked in “VSN’s Top 24 Early Standouts” there has for sure been what some may call chaos, I view it as excitement and more unpredictability. This Draft has some very exciting prospects headlined by MJF @frosty the without question top player of the S73 Draft class Marshall James FrostBeard along with superstar defenceman Tyler Walker and a handful of great goalies in Tonn, Gyrfalcon and Camus all slotted to go 1st round. Along with the unforgettable John Merrick showing flashes of Hall of Fame play as well as a blood relative to the legendary Glade family as VHL players and GM, the youngest highly touted defenceman Shawn Glade III.

 

With the recent news of the VHL’s 4-Team Expansion announced for this offseason creates even more variables and “chaos” for Current VHL GM’s; Let the fun begin. From first glance, it’s easy to see this is not the deepest draft class and a major drop nearing round 3.  It's important that I clarify and we are making this clear these “Rankings'' are not a Mock Draft, it is who VSN’s Scouting Department believes are the best picks at each spot without any connections to the teams making the selection nor Positional Value (Pure Rankings). These rankings are based and referring to play progress before the playoffs*

 

The VSN Scouting Department with the amazing crew of scouting experience run @Patrik Tallinder The Director of Scouting and Assistant Director @Spence King have spent countless hours watching every VHLM game travelling across North America and not to mention the passing WJC and now playoffs. A major factor the scouts highly value in a player is consistency (being active weekly/levels of participation) extensively tracking weekly opportunities claimed even as far as the differences between total capped and uncapped TPE earned. VSN scouting Staff are always keeping a VERY close eye on each player’s activity trends and participation in the community.

 

 

Let’s get ready to rumble!

 here are VSN’s S73 Draft Mid Season Player Rankings:

 

#1 - Marshall James Frostbeard- 300 TPE

Trending downLow risk, High potential 

If anyone is shocked to see the MJF trending “down” is the sole reason that @frostbeard is a VHL GM himself and has his player’s rights protected in the draft and he is the clear cut #1 Overall prospect in this draft.

 

#2 - Tyler Walker - 281 TPE- No trend, Low risk, High potential 

Tyler is the ultimate coaches player, he does everything you ask of him and is always in the right place at the right time, no player other than MJF has shown more consistent growth/Activity and development in their game other than Tyler. Whichever team drafts this young man will be getting a future franchise defenceman that will play MANY games in the VHL and very soon. 

 

#3 - Jacob Tonn-  276 TPE 

No trend, Low risk, High potential 

Jacob Tonn has proven to be a steal for the ages, with the hounds able to draft some great players and snag Tonn in the later rounds is truly unbelievable that any GM let this young man go past the 1st round let alone outside the Top 5. Tonn is having a fantastic season in his draft year proving to have the potential to be a future starter and potentially star goaltender in the VHL

 

#4 - Micah Adrienne - 276 TPE

No trend, Low risk, High potential 

Micah is by far one of the best defenders his age in a long time. Micah is easily one of the leagues top 5 Defensive defencemen with way above average defensive IQ, amazing body checker with terrifying hits combined with his smooth skating and puck handling make him a real contender for the #1 overall pick come draft day. Biggest Flaw is his terrible discipline.

 

#5 - Jeffrey Pines- 240TPE

Trending UPLow  risk, High potential

 Jeffrey was on a tear after the WJC and really proving the league his playmaking abilities are just as strong and he might actually be a stronger playmaker as well as really fine-tuning his work in the defensive end and proving to be one of the most hated players to play against in the league. Jeffrey has a very bright future in the VHL his potential is sky high and he can fit any role his team needs for him. 

 

 

#6 - Grekkark Gyrfalcon - 228 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential

Grekkark Gyrfalcon is what some scouts are calling “The safest pick”. This due to the fact that Grekkark is affiliated with the EFL and is guaranteed to cap out with 12 TPE with his EFL Job alone.

 

#7 - Jean Pierre Camus - 217 TPE:

Trending UP, Low risk, High potential 

J=ean Pierre Camus is our third goalie in the top ten and he's there for a reason. JPC may not have the wins like the other goalies but the skill is there and it’s evident. Truly an exciting player to watch. Camus with a record of 18-42-4 is still currently the league leader with the highest Save % of any starting goaltender. His lightning-quick hand speed combined with incredible style and  rebound control and jaw-dropping reaction time

 

#8 - @ShawnGlade III- 213 TPE

Trending downModerate risk, High potential 

Shawn is right there with Tyler and Micah in terms of potential. The relative of the legendary Shawn Glade gives us some insight into the hockey blood in this player and his dedication and consistency. Shawns defensive IQ always has him in the right position at the right time. Glade III has an amazing first pass out of the zone to go along with his ability to rush the puck with his strong puck handling and skating abilities.

 

 #9 - Groovy Dood- 206 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential

Groovy Dude AKA @bigAL The AGM of the new VHLM expansion Franchise the Miami Marauders. Groovy has proven to be extremely active and one of the most consistent draft-eligible players continually increasing his draft stock. Mr Dude is arguably the top playmaker in the draft. His defensive abilities are also what really separates him apart from the other players in this class is his obvious effort and dedication consistently week in and day out and will always give you 110% effort.

 

 

#10 - Kosmo Kramerev- 204 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential 

Kosmo is in the top 10 of the league scoring not only as a rookie but also as a defenceman. Kramerev so far in 64 games is 1 point shy, sitting at 99PTS and going to hit the 100 PTS plateau as a rookie. The difference between Kramerev and the “Big Three” Walker, Adrienne and Glade is that Kosmo is a much more offensive-oriented defensive player while saying that he does not lack in defensive abilities and has amazing defensive skills.

 

#11 - John Merrick- 179 TPE

N/ALow   risk, High potential 

John Merrick looks to be a very promising and potential first-line centre in the VHL. Merrick, the User @Steve recently retired unexpectedly Guy LeGrande early and was not expected to recreate LeGrnade had 1177 TPE already and still had 2 seasons to go. That says a lot right there about Merricks potential. Merrick is already proving to be a great 2-way centre, He has the size and strength to go along with his great puck handling and skating abilities.

 

 #12 - Wolf Stansson - 190 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential 

Wolf Stansson was a hot name on Trade Deadline day, and with that being no surprise. Wolf has proven to be the next name on this list of extremely talented 2-way defenders. Wolf plays with an edge to his game and can really bang bodies on the ice and I mean that literally by an “edge” Wolf has learned to master body checking and cutting off the rush with huge hip checks always making clean hits and is never afraid to sacrifice his body. 

 

#13 - Dan Baillie Jr – 194 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential

Dan Baille Jr “The Junior Rocket” has been trending up and up all season and the ski is truly the limit for this man. His skating is out of this world and without a doubt the most accurate and quickest shot in the draft, Baille Jr goal and assist totals in SSK do not reflect his skill or potential. Baille is going to have a very great and long career in the VHL.

 

#14 -Andre Lebastard- 189 TPE

Trending UP, Moderate risk, High potential 

Probably the best Faceoff man in the draft if not the VHLm.Amazing 200-foot player, Fantastic passing IQ and accuracy, Logs Massive minutes and can shut down and play with the league's top lines, needs to work on his strength 

 

#15 - Patrik Laine - 174 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential 

The hottest thing in Houston right now, Laine is one of if not the most active prospects in the pool and is continually opening more and earning a lot of attention and this spot in the rankings. Laine is the most well-rounded prospect ranked to go in the first round with equally strong skating, puck handling, scoring and defensive IQ but still has a long way to go before being  VHL ready anytime soon.

 

 #16 - Mikeal Keef  - 195 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, High potential

Mikeal will more than likely be playing in the pros next year, whichever organisation is lucky enough to snag this franchise defenceman will be smiling ear to ear when they call his name to the draft stage. The 6’4 205 lb smooth-skating defenceman excels the most in his own end with his jaw-dropping hits. 

 

#17 - Cal Conway - 179 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk,  High  potential

With his eye lightning, fast hand speed and reaction time Cal has shown many flashes of stardom. Just look at his numbers and its easy enough with an outstanding .913% Save percentage and almost under 2 Goals against a game at 2.07 GAA.

 

#18 -The Terrible Trivium- 189 TPE

Trending UPLow risk, Moderate potential

Trivium is built like a truck and if he can turn that weight into muscle he could very well be one of the VHL’s power forward winger for many years to come. His fantastic positioning when backchecking, a total 200-foot player. His Shot is his best asset registering 297 shots on net in 72 games played. 

 

#19 - Oh Sens - 162 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential 

The Japanese sensation and fan favourite in Miami Oh Sens has a well-rounded skill set with his puck handling and powerful shot make him such an exciting winger. Very strong player physically, look for next season to be a breakout for this young man 

 

#20 - Ajay Krishna - 152 TPE

No trend, Low risk, High potential

Ajay was once considered the clear cut safest goalie available after the big 3 all set to be taken in the 1st round. Krishna skill is definitely there and with his reaction time paired with his size, his potential in the crease is sky-high. Ajay had a very strong start to the season with high activity and looked to be a lock for the 1st round however the second half of the season Krishna’s progression noticeably declined. Krishna still has time to prove himself as a 1st rounder if he can return to his early-season progression.

 

#21 - Dakota Lamb - 173 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential

The most skilled Faceoff man in the draft Dakota Lamb has amazing offensive capabilities with his combined skill set of skating puck handling and offensive IQ. Being the most skilled at  FO points doesn't always win you the most Faceoffs, Dakota has to put on some serious strength to turn those skills into an invaluable asset.

 

22- Calvin Harvey - 156 TPE 

Trending downModerate risk, Moderate potential 

Calvin Harvey has had a rough go this season in San Diego much like the rest of his marlin teammates, he was peppered with shots and really had no chance to ever develop confidence on the ice. He has very good reaction time and a nice Style control. 

 

#23 - Matty Socks - 161 TPE

Trending UP, Low/ Moderate risk, Moderate potential 

Matty Socks has been playing phenomenal for the Aces all season. Extremely consistent and without a doubt one of the most skilled defensive defencemen in the draft class as well as the entire league. Along with strong offensive IQ and powerful skating. With some filling out in strength and conditioning as well as passing accuracy socks could be another diamond in the rough

 

#24-Kevin King - 145 TPE

N/AModerate risk, High potential 

The player with the most intrigue other than John Merrick. Kevin King has only had a short time to prove himself and even with minimal ice time. However, his skills do all the talking. Scoring and defensive IQ are way above most in the class and especially at this position. King has the best faceoffs skills by far in the draft class. With building strength and continuing to progress at this level don't be surprised if Kevin King is a 1st round pick on draft day.

 

#25 - Han Jae Kuk - 132 TPE

No trend, Low risk,  Moderate  potential 

Han was at one point the hottest name on the trade block with his great early start to the season, but just like the marlins did this season, Han Jae looks to have drowned. He is borderline inactive and potentially falling out of the top 40 if that were the case. Jae Kuk’s has incredible defensive abilities and above-average skating, he has the skill and potential the issue is an effort right now.

 

 

#26 - Alec Volchenkov - 156 TPE

Trending UP, Moderate risk, High potential 

Alec Volchenkov is definitely our most interesting and unique player in this draft class and by unique, i am referring to his playing style. Volchenkov is the definition of a Shut down player. His scoring abilities have much work to be done, however, his Faceoffs and defensive play in his own end are above most forward in the VHLM. Volchenkov has the potential to be a lifelong role player in the pros and I could even see him being a team's 1st line Center one day.

 

 #27 - Jesper Norberg - 142 TPE

N/AModerate risk risk, High  potential 

Jesper Norberg has come into Vegas hitting the ground running harder than every pair of dice in town combined. This Swedish winger comes over with a diverse skill set highlighted by his IQ in the offensive zone. His passing, puck handling and skating are showing improvements daily along with an impressive build, very strong on his skates.

 

 #28 - Florent Vericel  - 126 TPE

Trending downHigh risk, High potential 

The Quick sharpshooting Canadian forward signed early in the season with the newly expanded VHLM franchise in Miami. Florent proved very quickly that he is a consistent and very strong shooter. His shot combined with his speed is by far his best attribute at his ability to find the shooting lanes. Strength along with Puck handling is in need of improvement.

 #29 - Fat Palloon - 122 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High/ Moderate potential 

Mr Palloon has been on the scouts’ radars from the minute he stepped on the ice with his incredible defensive positioning and willingness to put his body on the line to block shots and passing lanes. Palloon’s season has been somewhat of a roller coaster in terms of production. As of late F.Paloon has made huge strides in his passing accuracy and skating. If he can maintain this progression as of the last two weeks this could be a steal in the draft. Still has a lot of practice to be done over the offseason.

 

#30- Jeremy Lin - 136 TPE

No trend, Moderate risk, Moderate potential 

The once highly touted prospect Lin has fallen and continues to do so, his activity and progression have hit a hard standstill. With his quick and accurate shot combined with his ability to rush the puck up the ice on his own proves lin has the skill. The question mark is consistency.

 

 #31 - Kirishima Wakaro - 134 TPE

No trend, High risk, Moderate/Low potential 

Kirishima went ghost a couple of weeks this season where is progression really hit a standstill. Wakaro is still quite the question mark for scouts with his activity being monitored very closely. Kirishima has shown moments of stardom from the beginning of the season with his defensive and offensive abilities and positioning along with his skating.  

 

 #32 - Rick Osman - 108 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential

Rick Osman the giant on skates and one of the tallest players in VHLM history Rick a massive 53 banked TPE. His activity has been consistent, never capping out but consistent every week and if Rick can use this offseason to diversify his skill set. Right now his defensive IQ is great but he is really lacking a lot of fundamentals at this level, and must really work on those if he's to ever play in the pros.

 

#33 - Gary Rush- 115 TPE:

Trending UPModerate risk, Moderate potential 

Good 2-way forward with equally strong offensive and defensive IQ. Showing consistent growth in Skating and puck handling. Needs improvement in the weight room and work on checking 

 

#34- Rocket - 130 TPE

Trending UP, Moderate risk, Moderate potential 

Rocket is a really solid welfare prospect who takes advantage of uncapped opportunities as well. He usually earns 6-8 capped TPE, and whatever uncapped TPE he can get his hands on as well. There’s a good amount of potential in him as a scoring winger, and hopefully, his steady progression keeps up.

 

#35 - Bobbie Cheechoo - 97 TPE

Trending downHigh risk, Moderate potential 

A prospect battling with inactivity at the moment, Bobbie Cheechoo is a pure goal scorer with an exceptional combination of skating and a heavy shot. If he can return to form, there’s definitely some potential here.

 

#36 - S Kuchar- 113 TPE

N/AModerate risk, Moderate potential

Late season signing with the Lynx after they shipped out their top two forwards Kuchar picked up the slack with ease, averaging almost 4 shots on net per game and registering a point per game. Kuchar is proving he can score in this league 

 

#37 - Empty - 110 TPE

Trending downHigh risk, High potential 

Started off very hot in Halifax scoring over 50% of their goals in his first 10 games played. Incredible offensive abilities and very good defensive IQ, his progression however after the WJC has come to a standstill and Empty has become a real question mark going into the draft.

 

 

#38 -Keno Wolf- 99 TPE

Trending downHigh risk, Moderate potential 

After showing a promising first three weeks, Keno Wolf has only earned 2 TPE over the last 2 weeks, which is quite worrying. If he comes back, it would be good for him to work on his puck handling, which seems to be a weakness as of today. Being able to claim 6 TPE welfare, Wolf shouldn’t have too hard of a time getting back to where he was just a couple weeks ago; It’s just about finding the time and motivation to stay consistent.

 

#39 - Peekay Soupcan - 88 TPE

Trending down,  High risk, Low potential 

Peekay has recently gone inactive, a promising youngster started off very strong with consistent activity and production, his scoring and skating are his greatest attributes, if Peekay remains on this trend he will be as quiet as his recent activity.

 

#40 - Victor Grachev- 129 TPE 

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential

Very Intriguing prospect Victor is a 1st-time VHL User as well as this being his first experience with any Sim League and he hit the ground running! Grachev has used literally every opportunity to earn the most  TPE possible since joining and the effort he has put in so far is incredible, consistency will be the big factor with him. Phenomenal Defensive D-man, very good 1st pass and puck handling knows his role and plays it well. Still needs to fill out his frame and fine touching his overall skill set.

Dont be surprised if he goes in the 1st round - "Spence King"

 

#41 - Ben Mills- 73 TPE

Trending down,  High risk, Low potential 

Pint-sized Ben Mills started off the season strong playing much more minutes in Mississauga. As the season has progressed it seems as if Mills is going to be a Welfare/Practice player only and if that at best with his inconsistency has him trending down. Good defensive skill and potential, fairly well-rounded skill set, his development seems to have just hit a dead end.

 

#42 - Jiggly Gumballs - 122 TPE

N/AModerate risk, High potential 

In only 16 games played and being in VHLM for 2 weeks, Jiggly Gumballs has shown signs of greatness and potential stardom. His defensive abilities and positioning in his own end are impeccable and might be the best shot-blocker I’ve ever seen. Very well rounded skill set and sure to skyrocket up the list if this activity trend continues.

 

 

#43 - Wane Jetski - 87 TPE

N/AModerate risk, Moderate potential 

Scouts have only had a short time to view Jetski since recently joining the league. His scoring touch and skating abilities are what stand out the most. Still needs work in the defensive end along with his hand-eye puck skills.

 

 

#44 - Theodore James St Louis  - 90 TPE

Trending UPModerate risk, High potential 

In his very short time so far in the VHLM Theodore James St Louis has made a great impression on VHL scouts his very well rounded game and truly game-changing ability when he’s on the ice for his team. Much about TJS is still unknown as to what role he will take on, St Louis has a very diverse skill set and could potentially be the steal of the draft if his activity spikes.

 

 

#45 - Teriyaki Chicken  -  TPE 78

Trending downModerate risk, Moderate potential 

Teriyaki is definitely one of the smaller D in the league but he is built like a truck. His biggest assets are his Checking and defensive skills, a very good stay at home defence. Needs to really work on his passing and puck handling

 

#46 -Drew Minott - 120 TPE

Trending UP Moderate risk,High/ Moderate potential 

The sky's the limit for this big lanky Goaltender with a very well rounded skill set, the sample size is small so far, Minott continues to show impress scouts more every game

 

#47-Joromir Jogr - 107 TPE

Trending downModerate risk,  Moderate potential 

Jogr has gone dark for a while, a very fluid skater and knows how to use his body to create scoring chances, very high hockey IQ and shows flashes of greatness. Really need to work on his passing accuracy

 

#48 -Tim Kameshev - 64 TPE

Trending downHigh risk, Low potential

Kameshev is almost strictly a practice player as of recently however has shown moments of great potential, his skating is what separates him from his peers. Needs a lot of improvement and a big increase in fine-tuning his entire skillset.

First of all, I think this was a great article and a good read. I loved the layout and the presentation.

 

However, I'm at a loss to under stand the trending, risk & potential ratings. I don't see it explained anywhere, unless I'm blind? I don't know why I'm a moderate risk, or even what that means?

Your TPE numbers seem low for the players whom I know, but that's a minor quibble. 

 

Nice job!

The article ended up being a bit delayed, so it led to some of the data being off. The trend, risk, potential is something we could’ve explained a bit better, so I’ll try to give you an idea what it is.

 

To use your player as an example, your only slight issue was a moderate risk. That risk represents the risk of you reaching your full potential, which is listed as high. The factors going into risk are considerable variance in weekly capped/total TPE amounts, small sample size, past low/inactive weeks, and reputation in the community.

 

In the weeks prior to this article, you had weeks of 11, 25, 12, 35, and 14 TPE. There’s a fair amount of variance there, but still a ton of potential, especially with you capping out in three of the five weeks. So we’re saying that your potential is extremely high, but there’s a slight risk that you could end up just being a decent player as well instead of a star. That would be due to the lower weeks, which still aren’t too low.

 

Hope this clears things up, if not just lmk ?

Grachev has used literally every opportunity to earn the most  TPE possible since joining and the effort he has put in so far is incredible, consistency will be the big factor with him. Phenomenal Defensive D-man, very good 1st pass and puck handling knows his role and plays it well. Still needs to fill out his frame and fine touching his overall skill set.

Dont be surprised if he goes in the 1st round - "Spence King"

 

Appreciate the analysis!

Hi man,

 

Thanks for the quick reply, it really helps me understand the article better now! As far as my earnings go, there were some high TPE weeks due to hitting 100 TPE and a week of free doubles. If you remove those weeks, the variance seems a lot less, in my eyes at least. If you reduce those 2 weeks to 12TPE each, you get 11, 12, 12, 12 and 14. Suddenly the variance is statistically insignificant.  I'm not arguing, just trying to understand the methodology!

 

I don't know much about anyone else in VHL, but I have 2 kids under 7 to wrangle and a household to run, so I have committed to a consistent 12 TPE, which is about my weekly limit for the game. If I hadn't lucked out and met someone who was willing to put up with me, I'd still be in Mum's basement, watching porn and cranking out 40TPE per week or whatever!

#20 - Ajay Krishna - 152 TPE

No trend, Low risk, High potential

Ajay was once considered the clear cut safest goalie available after the big 3 all set to be taken in the 1st round. Krishna skill is definitely there and with his reaction time paired with his size, his potential in the crease is sky-high. Ajay had a very strong start to the season with high activity and looked to be a lock for the 1st round however the second half of the season Krishna’s progression noticeably declined. Krishna still has time to prove himself as a 1st rounder if he can return to his early-season progression.

 

Wait a sec my man, i have been max earning CAPPED TPE, from the start, if u have any doubts you may check my update page

Jacob Tonn has proven to be a steal for the ages, with the hounds able to draft some great players and snag Tonn in the later rounds is truly unbelievable that any GM let this young man go past the 1st round let alone outside the Top 5. Tonn is having a fantastic season in his draft year proving to have the potential to be a future starter and potentially star goaltender in the VHL

There were like 7 goalies with over 100 TPE available in the last VHLM Draft and not that many starting jobs. Goalies draft stock was low all around.
