VSN Presents: Season 75 Future Watch!

[mattyIceman 1,229]

 

Another draft has come and gone, but it isn't time yet to check to see what's happening with the next draft yet...

It's time for the Season 75 Future Watch series, where we dive into how last seasons draftees are doing!  We will be grading every team's prospect pool as well as some commentary!

Furthermore, I would like to introduce to VSN's brand-spankin' new scouting associate, @fonziGG!  Here, I'll turn it over to him now

 

Fonzyy:  Hello everyone! It's a pleasure to join the VSN Scouting and I hope to bring some great scouting content for you.

Mattyy:  Anyways, as we all know, each team in the VHL has some rookies from the draft and we wanted to bring attention to how each organization has changed.
Fonzyy:  Oh for sure, so many prospects with promise were selected in this draft.

Mattyy:  Do you also think that this draft in particular will be talked about in the coming seasons as a turning point for some franchises?
Fonzyy:  Definitely. I think every single team has positively benefited from this draft and I'm personally excited to see how this affects our future as a league. What did you think about this draft?
Mattyy:  Very deep, not top-heavy.  Plenty of talented players and members to add on to our great league and community.  What's great about this draft is that a later round pick could end up being a stud
Fonzyy:  I'm excited! Would you like to start on our first team?
Mattyy:  Yeah, let's dive right into it!

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Calgary already cleaned up real good in the Season 74 draft, trading futures to load up last season. Having only one pick in the very deep Season 75 draft, GM Ryan Jubis selected centerman Christopher 106th overall in the 7th round. This doesn't mean they don't have solid prospects to groom into the big league. The biggest conundrum here is the two goalie prospects in Jacob Carson amd Michael Olson. Both are having career seasons with Philadelphia and San Diego (respectively), but, with LaFontaine currently still kicking it with a huge season with Askarov playing lights-out as the backup and quite possibly the heir apparent, these goalies may have trouble cracking their lineup. Sniping winger Daddy Derek looks real good with Yukon, he's on pace to set personal highs with his production and should be up in Calgary next season. Chris Foley with Mexico City may be ready to move up next season as well, but possibly another season to bank could benefit him and Calgary as well.

Chicago sure loaded up on prospects last season, making seven selections in the Season 75 draft. GM Geoff Dee nabbed the controversial, but coveted, defensive brothers L and R. L made his debut with Chicago this season, while R got the call up after four games with the Mississauga Hounds. Their presence is already being felt playing together on the 2nd pair. As for their deep prospect pool, goalie prospect Kloxified is having a down year in Yukon so far but will backup JP Camus next season. Winger Darius Marimoto, centermen Jordan Tate and Steve Eso are all enjoying career seasons with their teams and should be ready for depth roles next season. Defenseman YK Cloudera is having a down season so far but has the tools to occupy a spot on the S76 Chicago squad in a depth role. S75 draftee Maksym Jankowski needs time to develop and should be ready for Season 77, while Jankowski is in danger of loosing his spot due to inactivity.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	DC has been riding a strong wave for a long while now and continued that trend walking into the Season 75 draft without a first-round pick. DC selected their first pick in the Season 75 draft in the second round, deciding to grab Ove Dyrdahl from the Halifax 21st. Dyrdahl was immediately placed onto the 2nd pairing alongside the coveted rookie 29th pick from Season 74, Jackson Philliefan. As for the rest of their prospects, Theodore Hoffman is playing his third year in the minors and spends this season on Miami and has been a major threat posting near point per game production with some expectations to join the roster next season. Kjell Nilsson is spending this season in Philadelphia and has been phenomenal for them in a depth scoring role. Even though he's been a depth piece in Philadelphia, there's no doubt that he's got what it takes to play in the VHL next season. Logan Hoffman and Evgeni Shevkov are poised to have strong seasons this year and may push in for a depth role next season while IAmMarkour and Dwayne Gretzly are in danger of losing their place in the organization due to inactivity.

Davos hasn't had much luck with depth prospects in the past, a good chunk of prospects electing to not continue their VHL careers or pursuing other interests, but this past draft has been very beneficial to the Dynamo. With both their 3rd and 9th overall picks, they got two studs in Kunibuni UnGuri and Taro Tsujimoto. Both players are playing in Davos now and are putting up respectable numbers. So far, prospects from the Season 74 and 75 drafts have continued on and do look like they have some promise. S74 draftees, centerman Jim Allen and Piero Angela could finally be playing bigger minutes for Yukon and Saskatoon (respectively) in S76, and look to be VHL ready in S77. Season 75 pick Martin Master is having a breakout season with Miami on defense, and developing quickly; he looks ready to play next season with the Dynamo. Winger Thomas King looks on pace to be very close to the cap, but it's still too soon in the season to tell if he's going to be VHL ready by next season. Winger Vladimir Mlinksi, defenseman Not A Player and goalie Piero Angela could all benefit from another season in the VHLM to round out their games and enjoy plenty of ice time. Grayson Slansky still has a ways to go before being pro-ready but time will tell if he can turn a corner.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Helsinki has been very efficient at the draft. Helsinki has spent their picks on players that have been developing extremely well. Chase Crosby, Dan Dan, Gustav Hjalmarsson, and Vick Fairchild are all anticipated to be joining the VHL roster in Season 76, they've all been developing extremely well, and there must be a powerful development system in Finland. Kate Upton, the beautiful model, has been a strong female presence in Halifax with the expectation that she will be moving to Finland pretty soon. Trent Gibson looks like a strong goalie prospect in Houston alongside a strong winger in Jon Webber who has been an absolute machine. Both are expected to be on the roster next season which poises a question for the Helsinki GM since so many players look poised to join the team. Victor Foles, Luke Spinelli, Jonny Pacheco, and Edward Kenway could be on the roster in either Season 77 or Season 78 based on their development curves considering both of them have a long way to go to make the big show.

London is one of the younger teams in the league considering they are one of the newer expansion teams. Kevin Malone and Kasper Kankkunen are the new shiny pieces in the British Capital. They have been playing extremely well with Kankkunen scoring nearly at a point per game basis and Malone boasting 4 shutouts. Maksim Yakolevsky and Kelly Power have been improving as the seasons have been going on and both of them should be on the London roster come Season 76. There's some major excitement in Miami for Nathan Perry as both VHL and VHLM scouts anticipate this player to be a huge piece for London in the future. John Strider has a long way to go to make it to the VHL but there's significant potential in him becoming a big piece in London. Finally, Tee Pee E II is a player that could be a depth defenseman in the VHL. It will be fun to see their path to the big show.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	The LA Stars are one of the four expansion teams from Season 73, and this season they finally filled their prospect pool. 1st overall pick from S75 Draft, Pistil Stamen is having a decent rookie season on an otherwise weak LA team. Fellow 1st round selection, centerman It's Gucci, 3rd round winger Pekko Viitanen and 4th round pick, defenseman Bob Tristan, should make their debuts in Los Angeles next season. Longer term project players fill out the Stars' prospect pool in the later rounds. Yukon defenseman Olof Samuelsson and Nathan Steele might be ready for season 77, question marks revolve around defenseman Zachary Sirois and winger Kikko Moskinen though. Their development is recently brought into question though, but hopefully they can turn it around sooner than later.

Malmo hasn't had much of a prospect pool to boast of in the past few seasons, but they got a steal in the 3rd round of the Season 75 draft, VHL-ready goalie Artem Tretiak with the 39th selection. He's already played decently in a backup role, so with time he will surely improve. Winger Carson Walkers and centerman Kevin Sterk look to be finally ending their VHLM tenures and moving up to the big team next season, while 7th round selection William Marquis has quite a long way to go, possibly season 77 or 78 at his rate.

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Moscow comes into this season with their first-round pick, Rara Rasputin, taken with the 16th pick and has been impressive in his rookie campaign. The rest of their prospects seem to be fantastic depth options and look to have a long development curve before they hit the league. Alex Zouzouambe looks like a great player but needs to continue working on his game as recently he's stagnated a bit. Anthony Suzuki, Grapes, Owen Taylor, Patrik Ipsen, and Vincent Correll are all growing at a very steady rate and are impressing every single day as they're serious about their development plan. It looks like they will be able to join the roster in Season 77. Breeze Ladrian has been impressive in recent weeks and looks poised to join the team potentially in Season 77.

New York definitely racked in their future haul of prospects in the Season 75 draft, making eight selections, with four of those in the first two rounds. RJ Thatcher was GM Esso Drunkmann's top selection at 5th overall. He's been very good playing for Mexico City the past two seasons, however his progress lately has somewhat stunted. Here's hoping he finds his touch soon so he could be an impact player for New York Americans in the near future. With their second round picks, the added THREE solid defensive prospects in Cowboy Prout, Chikn Wing and Shawn Andrei Zyuzin, with Zyuzin currently playing his rookie season with the Americans. Season 74 draftees Peter Louis II and Gabriel Johnson are looking to end their VHLM careers at season's end and both of them are showing pretty decent upside so far. Miami Marauder goalie Thadius Sales was a 3rd round pick in last season's draft and could jump up the Americans' depth chat very quickly if he continues to progress at his current rate. He's proving he could be a steal for the Americans at 36th overall. Halifax winger Ramarod Ramirez still has some work to do and could be a dominant player in the VHLM next season to round out his game and be VHL-ready by season 77.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Prague has been impressive in this recent draft as it seems like plenty of players will be joining the roster shortly. Robert Bouchard, Dominic Gobeil, and Theodore James St Louis are all looking poised to join the roster next season as they have been very impressed with their VHLM teams. Silas LeFriend has been showing a lot of potential as well with 37 points in 39 games. Braxton Hunter also looks like a brilliant pick by the Phantoms as he's got some great potential and potentially joining in Season 77. Benjamin Lechance and Bep are also long term projects for the organization as they may join the roster in Season 77 or Season 78. Ernie King looks to be surging up recently with his play. If he continues this trend, he'll be on the roster sooner rather than later. Joakim Lund, Secel Keller, and The Blob look poised to be joining the Phantoms in the far future.

After the Riga Reign's first-round exit, GM Benjamin Zeptenbergs elected to sell off nearly all the players on his team to collect as many picks as he could to rebuild his team. Star talent like Kyl Oferson, season 74 scoring champion Patrik Tallinder and defensive mainstay Guy Saskamoose were traded away, while both defensive legend Lincoln Tate and elite goalie Greg Eagles retired after spending their careers in Riga, winning the Continental Cup in season 72. Riga amassed a grand total of EIGHTEEN selections, five in the first round and nine in the top two rounds. Only two players from the first round made the Riga squad this season, winger Joe Kelly and goalie Sirkants Klamasteris. Although the team has been completely gutted, their group has managed well in those circumstances. Zeptenbergs' picks show massive promise, though. He nabbed quick rising stars Cabe McJake, Addison McLaren and Dolant Fertitta and they are all enjoying great seasons so far. Second round picks Justin Lose, Linus Zetterstrom, Artair McCloud and Vivek Weiner would already be ready to jump up to Riga next season as well. Futher down their draft list are other quick forwards: Philadelphia Reapers centerman Isau DaMoose and Vegas winger Connor Sim could certainly make the Reign squad as well. Longer term project players like defensemen Teppo McBighit and Jared Carter, wingers Andy Nexber, Eddie Dams, Liam Fischl and centerman Nikolas D'Andrea complete Riga's prospect haul and a ridiculously solid foundation for the future. Longtime Riga prospect Matt Thunder finally looks ready to make the jump up after three-plus seasons in the VHLM, bolstering Riga's defensive depth.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Seattle barely had any prospects last season, but boy did GM Blake Campbell load up here. With his first selection in round three, he stole Ryan Ryker who was still available. He was originally was projected to be a late-first round pick, but he fell for god-know-what reason. He's at a point-per-game pace playing for Miami, so he willl be joining Seattle next season if all goes as planned. Defensemen Franz Ferdinand and Logan Moore are having productive seasons in their first full seasons, if they keep up their progress they could be ready for season 77, along with Vegas backup Aksu Maronen. Winger Gaspar Zagrevsky and dman Jackson Richard might need two more seasons with Miami and Houston respectively to achieve VHL potential.

Toronto had a very successful season last year and has planned to go into a rebuild. Sunderbrunch, Leo Strauss, and Wolf Weiss are all in their rookie season for Toronto and have been impressive. Jolly Greene Giant and Scotty Kaberle are both looking like incredible picks and Toronto has shored up their defense for the foreseeable future. This pairing is looking poised to be an incredible duo for the future. Toronto will be a defensive powerhouse in no time. John Callahan Jr is also looking poised to be a brilliant scorer and will be joining the roster in Season 76. Jason Beuregaurd and Jackson Wilson both are long term projects but will be great depth pieces for Toronto. Toronto's core is looking to move back into contention pretty soon with this youth movement. We might see Toronto aiming for a goalie via trade or draft just to complete the rebuild.

PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA	Vancouver is just coming off a hot season with a cup and a very bright future. Vancouver has a young forward in Riley Couture who is making a splash in their rookie season. Not only that, prospects such as Florent Vericel, Sheldon Juniper, Jakob Sosa, and Markus Emerson Jr. are all poised to earn places on next season's roster. Clinton Giftopolous, Paul Webber, and Michael Schmitdt all seem to be contending for roster spots in Season 77 so it seems like Vancouver has a lot cut out for them for giving these young players roster spots. Mando Blatsyuk, Fongs Son, Roger Jone, Louis Louchard and Aivars Kiris are all looking like fantastic depth to fight for spots between Seasons 77 to 79 where they all look determined to improve.

Like most teams that had alot of picks in the past draft, Warsaw's draft haul was a beneficial one to provide prospect depth. GM Damien Walec picked up his player, defenseman Muffbeav with the 13th overall pick. Muffbeav is having a very good rookie season so far with the Predators and could be the franchise defenseman going forward. Another interesting prospect drafted in the second round at 19th overall is centerman Nero Endrizzi. He's having a career season with the San Diego Marlins and could fit nicely in a depth role for the Predators next season. Winger Blim Blam McFluble could be ready for next season as well, but his progress may hinder him a bit, he could benefit from another season with the Philadelphia Reapers to improve his game. Defenseman Kevin Wu looks like he will be VHL-ready next season, as he is enjoying alot of success this season with the Mexico City Kings. Goaltending prospect Mike Sterling is playing alot of games for Halifax this season, however his progress is slower, but steady. He might be ready for a backup job next season. Centermen Bradley Senjo and The Great are longer term projects that are hopeful for more seasoning in the VHLM, along with goaltender Jonathan Bustard. Bustard may need two more seasons in Mexico City to fully develop into a VHLer. Winger Angel Wachiure is a bit of a question mark, his progress has been spotty and risks not panning out for the Predators.			PROSPECT	USER AGENCY	TPA

But anyways, amazing amazing job on this guys, this is top end content!  Formatted beautifully and very extensive look at the future of the VHL.

Cap space could be a problem in the futur if their prospects become really good. Its an happy problem though

They won't be able to keep everyone around, but they will still be absolutely digusting with all the options they have lol

A majority of Seattle’s were free from FA. That’s a win for Seattle and the league if they can stay onboard lol. 

 

We’ve had a couple pleasant surprises along the way too in members like @aksuko, @Jayrad28, @drewowo Etc. There’s a few others that are earning at small amounts but I have been riding their asses to earn some more.

Likely trying to find ice time for all these guys could become an issue as well.  But, nevertheless, I am glad to be part of that................

I can't wait to be here next season

Great article - nicely done @MattyIce & @fonziGG ! Glad to see Prague's prospect cupboard so full after being bare for so long. Good job drafting by @diamond_ace  and @Seabass .

I see myself switching from D. The depth is pretty good for all teams.

There actually aren't many D or C compared to wingers and goalies.  If you stay D your stock will rise

Prague did the same thing with Lund, he was undrafted so we picked him up for free
