Dream team using only current players

[Gooningitup 1,290]

I wanted to do a deeper dive, but honestly im tired it was a longer weekend then i expected. So instead of doing older players and picking my dream team i will take my players i would take today in the VHL. The only requirement is to be in the VHL right now. So without further ado, here is my dream roster of players currently playing today.

 

Center Ice Brock Louth

Runner up: Mikko Lahtinen

 

I was back an fourth on this one, on one hand Lahtinen is the more physical of the two players. However i went with Brock Louth because, he wins draws, well putting up similar point totals. I am a strong believer in the sim tying winning face offs to puck control, and by winning more draws means more wins ideally.

 

Left Wing Patrick Tallinder

Runner Up: Adam Syreck

 

Syreck is a young kid and i think could have a very bright future ahead. However, i went with the league leading scorer in the entire league. Brock Louth appears to be a very balanced offensive center, well Tallinder appears to be a solid play maker. He is my star winger, and figures to be a huge part of my attack. 

 

Right Wing Jungkok

Runner up: Owen Nolan

 

Jungkok, is my type of player. Well he is not a huge point producer, he is not a bad one either. He hits everything that moves though, he a an elite two way player based on his plus minus too. Nolan is a solid middle ground not a huge hitter, which nor is anyone in the top 10 right wingers.  Jungkok himself, is a guy who fits a big need on an offensive style team. Coughleafscough he should be able to make the ice a little safer.

 

Left Defense Condor Adrienne

Runner up: Vladimir Pavlov

 

The jack of all trades, Condor is a big point producer, he is a top 2 way talent. He hits, he blocks shots. He is the man, you really want on the backend. Pavlov is a very good but softer defensemen. I chose 2 guys who really define defenders to me, versus just the top offensive guys.

Condor could very well win his second, defender of the year award again this season. Who would not want the top player on their team all the time?

 

Right Defense Lincoln Tate 

Runner up: Jeff Downey

 

Like Condor, he is what i define as a defensemen. He hits, blocks shots, and puts up points. Imagine barreling down the ice an seeing these two at the other end. You might just be frozen in fear, especially due to the strong chance you will be crushed. Downey himself is a good defender himself he just is not as well rounded as i would like on my back end. 

 

Goalie Stone Wolski

Runner up: Jacques Lafontaine

 

This is the closest race possible out of every pick i had to make. Both goalie are right in their prime, both are playing amazing. They both will battle for top goalie this season. The reason i specifically chose Wolski is for what he is doing on an expansion team. He is really carrying them am helping them defy expectations.
