Seems like quite the coincidence that round 14 and 15 were a VP kid and a former VP kid who played on one of the worst AAA teams and is a borderline AAA d-man going to the same team. Something smells STINKY! You want to tell me a kid playing AA is better than a kid playing for DMF or any AAA team that's in the top 5? Common. Embarrassing. Enjoy your 30 seconds of fame and enjoy playing for credit river next season as a 3rd liner.

Someone has to know what really happened here, the VP connection is far too obvious

Everything you said here is so wrong lol. You clearly have no idea who these players are so you're just grasping at straws trying to create some story that just doesn't exist.

No, we know exactly who these players are, which is why this makes no sense. It will all come out, always does.

It's not that deep man. Jealousy off the charts. Focus on yourself, your kid and more important things.

But now is when all the fun and games begin! Pre-tryout skates, tryouts, spring hockey. So what are people hearing for next year? Many changes happening? Any shift in the power rankings. Who's coming who's going who's loading up on talent who's rosters falling apart? What's the word going round?

I know my kid will be trying to get on the VP. Why would anyone want to leave the team?

Expect the top teams will stay at the top. VP, VR, MB, they have an easier time recruiting because they've been good for so long, so even if they lose players they still have there pick of the best players to replace with.

Solid teams like TE, MNS, MR will be interesting. If they can keep the core group and manage to add a few upgraded players, they could easily jump into that top bracket. But they could also just as easily lose more players that they can't replace and fall to the bottom playoff seeds. How their coaches recruit is gonna be really important for them.

And then from the rest, it's always rebuilding every season. Teams like TR, ST, DD, HVS, they've always got some good pieces to be competitive but never enough depth. So they'll need to do more big changes if they want to really compete, but depending on what those coaches can do and who they can recruit any one of them could be a surprise to really improve.
