The Donuts have endured a tough year after a surprise appearance in the finals last year. This year has been different...
The team has been close to making the playoffs all season but never really close. But landing a third pick is, of course, a feather and is not a bad year to do it either.
Wisborg always does it best and seldom finds itself in the bottom run (and never been in last place, which for example DAY has for instance), but seize the opportunity when it comes around. Last time WIS had a high pick was in a year with loaded talent, namely 2014:
1. HAM- Ekblad, Aaron D
2. BOS- Reinhart, Sam C
3. SIB- Bennett, Sam C
4. WIS- Draisaitl, Leon C
Great names all around but questions are if not WIS walked away with the prize that year. WIS has entertained deals involving Draisaitl during this season and everything was including free pucks, unlimited access to sister and so on. But Leon is a fan favorite of the island fan base and it takes more than cheap shots to bring him home. Visby with is the present name of the town that was part of the German Hansa in the 1100-1200's, so not so strange to embrace the German giant.
Most scouting services have the same names on top, namely Lefrenierie and Byfield as top picks. No brainers, so who is next in line? Do you even know?
How about saying Tim Stutzle?! Do you see where I am going? Another player from the far and remote hockey country of Germany. So is he a new Leon? Who knows but the stars are aligned that WIS will land this trophy. I bet he works well with Leon! But WIS can trade up to get a center or down to get those fine players with three crowns on their chest. But keep your offers serious and don't offer pucks or sister, I already turned those offers down and I do get annoyed fast.
