Draft Conclussions for Miami Marauders

[ClapbombsRus 42]

The Miami Marauders this season went into a rebuild phase, dropping many players to earn a large amount of assets in the Season 76 Draft! The first pick the Miami Marauders had they used to acquire D. Henchoz 11^th overall. With the build I am seeing I can only expect an Offensive D man with 143 TPE. He was immediately traded along with the Blob for a S77 2^nd, a S77 3^rd and a S76 4^th. Best of luck with your new team!

The second pick for the team was A.T. Great being selected 28^th overall A.T. Great was sitting at 145 TPE. Selecting the C position Sitting as a Two Way Forward, A gentleman dedicated to dominating the ice and getting wins! A.T. Great played 40 games for the Houston Bulls last season earning 4 points for himself and the team in the process. I am very excited to play along side A.T. Great this season and to have him in the Miami Locker Room. Being the first pick for Miami and also being assigned to 1^st line, 4^th line and PP 1 and PK 1 I am expecting A.T. Great to do some amazing things for the team this season, and the many seasons to come! Best of luck to you sir!

The third pick for the Miami Marauders came in the same round 34^th overall T. Wallace sitting at 68 TPE. He seems to also be building for a 2 Way Forward, with points built into CK and DF as well as SC and SK. He has entered Miami on the second line and also PP2. So far he has amassed 1 goal and 2 assists in his first 2 games. Best of luck this season T. Wallace!

The fourth pick for the Miami Marauders is none other than yours truly! I was selected 39^th over all in both the the VHL and the VHLM Drafts which I found to be a funny coincidence. I was sitting at 125 TPE at the time of the Draft, I am building a Butterfly Goalie and have been selected for Main Goalie at this time! Last Season Saskatoon Wild picked me up from waivers when I started out. I played one game for them late in the season which I was able to snag the victory. So far in our first two games we have won with me as a puck stopper. My Back up Tender is K. Fleury and I am very excited to share the crease with this gentleman this season moving forward!

The fifth pick this season was selected in the same round as I was. N. Bonaparte drafted 46^th overall. He was sitting at a nice 182 at the time of the Draft. From glancing at his allocation of points it looks like N. Bonaparte has built a bit of a physical Play Maker with points in Checking, Discipline Skating and Passing as well as Defence. N. Bonaparte has been an active member of the Miami locker room as have all the above mentioned who have been signed by Miami, The presence has been great since I have joined the team. N. Bonaparte has been selected for the 1^st line and 4^th line of the team as well as PP1. N. Bonaparte was a solid pick for the team being a late round high TPE player, and one could hope a large presence on and off the ice. N. Bonaparte played for the Houston Bulls last season for 40 games accumulating 1 goal and 7 assists in his time there. Best of luck in the season moving forward N. Bonaparte and i am excited to get to play beside you as we move into the season!

In the 5^th Round we had 2 picks with J. Souminan going 56^th overall, he was sitting at 54 TPE at the time of the Draft. J. Souminan has points distributed in almost every category making him a very well rounded addition to the defensive core of our team. J. Souminan is our D man on our 5 man lines as well as playing 1^st pairing for PP and second pairing for PK. Best of luck this season J. Souminan help me keep them pucks out of the net!

The second pick of the fifth round was J. Jockesson. J. Jockesson is a D man picked 59^th overall. He is built into DF SK and ST mostly with balancing points all around every other stat. Currently J. Jockesson has helped with 8 assists in his 14 games and is a part of our core Defense, a big presence on the ice with his 6'8, 225Lb body i can expect J. Jockesson to be a great asset to the team and in particular to me as the Goalie. I will be relying on our defensive boys to help me keep that puck out of the net by blocking passing lanes and filling up scoring zones. J. Jockesson is on the main D line as well as snagging a spot on our PP2 and PK2.

Coming up next in the Draft is D. Mackey. D. Mackey was selected in the 6^th round 61^st overall.

He joined us with 127 TPE and has quickly shot up to 147 TPE. D. Mackey played 70 games last season split between 2 teams. D. Mackey is a LW. He played first for the San Diego Marlins for 13 games. He then moved on to the Minnesota Storm for 57 games accumulating 39 points throughout the season 20 goals and 19 assists. His high skills in Puck Handling, Skating, and Scoring make him a solid contender on our team, in 14 games he has as many points split evenly between goals and assists. This was another nice later round pick ups by the Miami GM's. D. Mackey is on our second line as well as having a place in our PP2.

Next in the draft is J. Coon, J. Coon is a RW who has also joined me in our Major team. The D.C. Dragons. J. Coon was selected in the 6^th round 64^th overall by Miami. J. Coon had 76 TPE at the time of the Draft and has shot up to 100 TPE currently. He is built into Skating, Strength and Scoring as well as Defence. He is a well rounded player for the Miami Marauders. J. Coon sits on our third line as well as having a spot on PK2.

Fleury Had 60 TPE and has grown to 72 TPE currently. Miami is the first team K. Fleury has played for in the 3 games he has played he has 2 losses and an overtime loss, K. Fleury has managed to maintain a .876 save percentage, I am very happy to share the crease with this gentleman as we push on to victory! K. Fleury is built into Size, Rebound Control, Hand Speed, and Reaction Speed.

Next up in the Draft was R. Dixon. R. Dixon came to us with 50 TPE landing a 7^th round pick 79^th overall. This is the first team. R. Dixon has played for. In his first 14 games Dixon has 3 assists. R. Dixon is a RW for the team playing on the third line for our team. R. Dixon has built evenly across all stats and looks to be a well rounded player. As with all the Draftees this year best of luck in the season and i will see you on the ice and in our locker room!

Last up in the Draft, coming in the 8^th round 91^st overall was R.T. Mcfadden.

All in all the Draft for the Miami Marauders was a great success in my humble opinion. The team is in a rebuild state I feel this year, With a little work on finding chemistry through out the team, and some work on the side of the players and Management alike I feel we could be a contending team this year, as well as for years to come. I am very happy with my appointment to the team and being able to meet all the other players. Look out for all of these players in the years to come as we develop and grow over the years I am excited to see who wins awards, who is willing to push when the going gets tough, and who what team will ultimately stamp out the cups in the years to come! Best of luck to eveyone in this years Draft and keep up the good work!
