Draft Experience

[dlamb 1,326]

With many teams coming to him before the draft, Dakota Lamb was not exactly sure where he would go. Teams like London and Calgary seemed to be the most likely spot, however there was not 1 team that Lamb could count out. He knew that he wasn't exactly the most skilled player in the draft, but his work ethic and willingness to get better he felt propelled him higher in the draft. "Late 1st round, early 2nd round", he thought to himself. But from the moment the draft started, he was nervous. He could go anywhere. Whenever a new team went on the clock, he imagined what it would be like to play for that team. He saw his newest potential teammate, Patrik Laine, go to Helsinki at 9th. And then Warsaw was on the clock.

 

Warsaw is a new expansion team, who came out of nowhere. With many teams coming to Lamb weeks before the draft, it was that very day that Warsaw had come to Lamb for a pre-draft interview. He must've hit it out of the park in that interview, because the next thing Lamb knew...

 

"With the 10th overall pick in the S73 VHL Entry Draft, the Warsaw Predators are proud to select, from the Miami Marauders..."

There were so many of us. Lamb didn't expect to go before other Marauder 1st rounders such as Kosmo Kramerev, Andre LeBastard, or Wolf Stansson. However his heart was racing.

"DAKOTA LAMB!"

 

He was overjoyed. He hugged his parents and close friends, happy to be selected this high in the draft. And to a team where he can see himself doing great things, on a clean slate expansion team, just like he did with Miami. He is a Warsaw Predator loud and proud. Although he is spending this year in the VHLM again with Miami, this is the start of something great between Lamb and Warsaw.

 

Side Note: GM Muff was proud of his pick, claiming after the draft was over that his pick of "Derek Lamb" was the steal of the draft. I'll take it.

       Great read. I found it interesting from the start. There was enough detail in the article that you could actually picture it happening. The one issue I had with the

article was each sentence seem to have been cut off on the right side most likely an issue with the borders. Otherwise, great work and good

luck in the VHL.

 P.S. Great Name-Dakota Lamb.

When you can get Dakota and Derek as a package deal for one pick, you can't pass on that opportunity.
