  1. Recently, ESPN caught up with C Marcus Eisenhower to discuss the Red Wolves whom claimed him off of the waivers. Here's what the German center had to say:

     

    I'm glad to be here in Moscow. I've actually already found myself a classy lady out here -- so don't be surprised if I announce a marriage soon -- or even if I was to stay here for another season. I just love the atmosphere out here. It's amazing -- the beaches out here are top notch. Trust me when I say this -- there's some good fish out here. I've also been bonding with teammates well in the locker room. I was also welcomed well, so I liked that too. Overall -- just know I'm glad to be a Red Wolf. Hopefully I'll do great in my debut. But until then, I've just got to keep working on my game. "

  2. The system currently works like this:

     

    At the start of your 6th, 7th, and 8th seasons, you lose 3%, 5%, and 7%, respectively, of the points on your attributes. You can play no more than eight seasons.

     

    Your concern with players going 9 or 10 seasons making it harder for the younger players is warranted, for sure. Personally, though, I don't see it being much of a problem, because at 13% depreciation and not being able to bank points for seasons beyond 8, a player couldn't start their 9th season with any attribute being higher than 86. Because of the harsh penalty of playing beyond 8 seasons, we might get two per season who decide to extend their career.

    Keep it how it is.

  3. The players who are dominating will retire and make room for those same new players to dominate, it's how the cycle works. Making careers longer will mean the players dominating now may retire later meaning they'll simply dominate for longer.

    Yeah.. I was saying that they should lessen the careers. I don't even know the current rule though, but if it is regression -- I was saying it should be forced retirement.

    Marcus Eisenhower the German center has recently been claimed off of VHLM waivers by the Moscow Red Wolves he'll be a great fit for them, wherever they play him -- but that's off topic. Right now were here to discuss the kid's game. He's a top notch defender, and has shown to be capable of a position change to either Goal Keper or Defenseman. He values defense a lot -- which is why recently it has been one of the main thing he's been working on. But then again, his scoring his horrible. Centers are two way players -- and scoring will be need to be worked on if he wants to play his natural position. Anyways, let's start this scouting report.

     

    NAME: MARCUS EISENHOWER

    AGE: EIGHTEEN

    HEIGHT: SIX FEET & THREE INCHES

    WEIGHT: ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY NINE POUNDS

    BEST QUALITY: DEFENSE

    NATURAL POSITION: CENTER

    BIRTHPLACE: GERMANY

    BIRTH DATE: JULY TWENTY SEVENTH

     

    Eisenhower will go down as the VHL's best defender.. EVER. Remember I said it, the kid  will be a prime example of a " shut down defender ". Not only is he a good defender, but his passing in combination with his defense will make him a deadly player. With his puck handling -- he has the ability to drive through defenses up court, and make amazing passes to deadly scorers on his team -- setting them up for goals. Throughout his career though, he should be able to become a efficient scorer.

     

    During Eisenhower's childhood -- he was involved in several fights with his foster family after being sent to foster care by his parents, for standing up for equal rights. Which is why -- Eisenhower is a very aggressive player. His checking is on point, a long with his strength. Luckily for him, along with that -- he has good puck handling, and skating as most players do -- which are both very important. Anyways, let's look deeper into his strengths and weaknesses.

     

    -- STRENGTHS

    • Defense
    • Passing
    • Puck Handling
    • Strength
    • Skating
    • Puck Handling
    • Checking

    As stated above, Eisenhower is an amazing defender. He's a ball hawk -- which is why he fits the Center position well. To be a good defender, strength is needed. He needs to be able to take on big hits from strong forwards who are trying to drive through him in, to score. He is very durable and strong -- which is why he's good at checking also. Skating and puck handling are mandatory stuff for a successful hockey career -- so that's no surprise. All professional hockey players are good skaters and good at handling the puck.

     

    -- WEAKNESSES

    • Scoring
    • Average Speed
    • Face Offs
    • Constant Fighting
    • Penalty Box Minutes
    • Drugs
    • Off Ice Problems

    Recently, we have realized Eisenhower is a huge problem off the ice. Not only have we learned he does drugs -- and is a marijuana user, but he also has been in several bar fights -- implying he is a heavy drinker. The reports aren't recent, so hopefully he has changed -- but you can never tell. Another huge problem is his constant fighting. In High School Eisenhower lead his team in PIMs, and unfortunately for him -- it has dropped his draft stock. He'll need to tone done a bit, and prove to scouts it the VHLM that he doesn't have to fight every other minute. Last but not least, if Eisenhower wants to be a true two way Center, he'll have to work on his scoring. He has the puck handling to take the puck across the ice -- but he just isn't a good finisher. 

     

    Overall, Eisenhower is a good player -- and I see Eisenhower becoming a top player in the VHL, in his sophmore season.
