Joining a promising rebuild in Riga

[Ledge 1,131]

                                      'Twas the night of the VHL Entry draft, and in the second round, there was a 25% chance that, if you were selected in that round, you would go to the Riga Reign, who had an abominable amount of picks in the draft. Linus Zetterstrom was one of those picks, and he is joining a rebuild that will be surprising if it doesn't yield a championship. Here are some of the talent that Riga drafted:

 

Cabe McJake, 1st round, 7th overall

Addison McLaren, 1st round, 8th overall

Dolant Fertitta, 1st round, 10th overall

Joe Kelly, 1st round, 12th overall

Sirkants Klamasteris, 1st round, 14th overall

Justin Lose, 2nd round, 26th overall

Linus Zetterstrom, 2nd round, 27th overall

Artair McCloud, 2nd round, 28th overall

Vivek Weiner, 2nd round, 32nd overall

Isau DaMoose, 3rd round, 38th overall

Teppo McBighit, 3rd round, 42nd overall

Andy Nexber, 4th round, 52nd overall

Connor Sim, 4th round, 58th overall

Liam Fischl, 4th round, 59th overall

Nikolas DAndrea, 4th round, 64th overall

Jared Carter, 6th round, 87th overall

Eddie Dams, 6th round, 90th overall

Hi Hello, 6th round, 94th overall

Matthew A Sovick Jr., 7th round, 106th overall

 

Nineteen picks! Holy crap! Hedgehog pretty much sold his entire team to load up for this deep, deep draft, and it seems to have worked magnificently. McJake and McLaren are two TPE-earning monster first-gens who look like steals even at 7 and 8. Fertitta and Kelly are good, solid guys you can depend on to have a career in the VHL, Klamasteris will be the goalie of the future, Lose, Zetterstrom, McCloud, and Weiner look like potential quality depth picks, DaMoose, McBighit, and Nexber all have massive potential, Sim, Fischl, and DAndrea are long-term fliers who could end up great, Carter and Dams are 6th round fliers, and Hello and Sovick are the backup option for goalies. 

 

                         Great job, hedgehog, it looks like you got a whole bunch of unique talent in this draft. Watch as this group slowly makes it's way into VHL stardom.
