Ryker slides far in draft, Vows vengeance

[Jayrad28 396]

Ryan Ryker was a very interesting prospect leading up to the draft. He had the skill set and workmanship that a lot of the top prospects had, but he played in a very poor Houston team, looked terrible defensively, putting up a -44 in his rookie season. That may have been why is stock fell. 
 

Early in the season Ryker was pegged to go somewhere in the late first round of the VHL Draft, he slowly slid into the second round projection, by no fault of his own, just players below his having excellent seasons.

 

At the conclusion of the VHLM Season, Houston missed the playoffs, and even though he put up 29 goals, his draft stock slid further to a mid to late second or third rounder. But once the draft started, it was clear that Ryker has been forgotten, as his name hadn’t been picked by the beginning of the 3rd round. As experts wondered if he’d slip down to the 4th round, Seattle stepped up and selected Ryker with their first pick in the draft.

 

In post draft interviews Ryker is clearly eager to prove other general managers that they messed up by not picking him, as he is already meshing well with the players in the Seattle locker room.

It was a last minute decision and were happy we reached out and got lucky enough to make it happen. They’ve been amazing and are motivated to be bigger and better. Look out VHL!
