LATRELL MITCHEL SCOUTING REPORT Latrell Mitchell has just finished his short career in the VHLM and has just been drafted to the big leagues! His upside seems to be very good as shown by his draft position at 3rd overall to the Calgary Wranglers. His season that just ended with Minnesota was good for his personal stats, but were disappointed in the results of the playoffs getting knocked out in the 1st round. It was a sad end to an otherwise great season. Mitchell was able to put up 20 goals and 61 assists for 81 points in 72 games this season with the Storm. With that he had a +17 rating with 79 hits and 93 shots blocked. While he hopes to improve on his defensive side of the game, he hopes that the offence can continue into the major leagues. STRENGTHS DEFENSE - While it may not show up on the statistics, defence is actually a strong part of Mitchell's game. He is usually in great position and has an active stick always contesting the opposing players. As said it may not show up on the stat sheet as much, but he would definitely pass the eye test. SKATING - Another strong part of his game is his skating ability. He seems to be one of the quicker players out on the ice and that should only get better as his career goes on. This allows him to have that great defence as always being in position and not getting beat on the outside too often. SCORING - Putting the puck on net is one of the most important things of Latrell's game. He puts a lot of shots on net but also has great scoring chances as shown from putting up 20 goals on the backend. The real threat is when he gets on the power play as he is a great quarterback with 13 of his 20 goals coming with the extra man. WEAKNESSES CHECKING - Latrell Mitchell is not the most physical player on the ice which can sometimes cause a problem, especially being on the defensive side. Taking the body is much more efficient than trying to knock the puck off the stick so that is something he will have to work on if he wants to be successful in the big league. STRENGTH - Again with the physical aspect of the game, his strength is not where it needs to be. He has been hitting the iron a little bit in the gym but it just hasn't reached the point it needs to be. Look for him to really work on this before the VHL season starts. PASSING - While this is actually something Latrell has worked on a lot in his short career, we're still going to call it a weakness because he is always looking to put the puck on net rather than pass it to his teammates. He will have more trouble getting shots on net playing against a tougher competition and for that reason he may have to start looking to pass to his teammates a little more. If Latrell Mitchell can replicate what he did in the VHLM, the Calgary Wranglers will be very happy with their 3rd overall pick.

Yes

Where’d this horse get its hair done? Need barber number please

Selfish

1. Was a good season, good team. Thought we had pulled it all together at the end with that 16 game winning streak so pretty gutted to go out the way we did. 2. Yeah, win in the playoffs. 4. Get drafted to whoever wants to pick me and become a VHL star. 5. Yeah not sure where I'm gonna go, both team and position in the draft. Haven't heard anything from any teams at this point. 6. Cookie dough 7. Hoping to be over 300 before I start my VHL career.

MINNESOTA - The Storm came into the playoffs on a loss to the Yukon Rush, but prior to that a massive 16 game winning streak is the high that they were on. All things clicked for the team and they thought they could continue that through the first round. The opposite happened though as the Marlins came out strong and surprised Minnesota with a 3-1 lead in the first 4 games. The offence for San Diego was firing on all levels and the Storm's offence and goaltending just couldn't keep up. Things were a bit grim in the locker room but there was confidence that they could come back and win the series. "We aren't done yet, let's go out there and do what we've been doing all season and win these next 3 games and go on to the finals," said defenseman and alternate captain Latrell Mitchell after a disappointing game 4 loss. "You know we can do it, I know we can do it, so all that's left is to go out there and get it done, no more excuses." With Minnesota coming off a championship year, expectations were high for the fans and the players of the team themselves. Mitchell being a first year player for the Storm also took the pressure on himself to go for a repeat. Game 5 in Minnesota, a potential elimination game was do or die. Squirrely dan got the Storm on the board just 4 minutes into the game and that got the momentum going. From there Minnesota connected for 4 goals on the PP which led to a 6-2 win over the Marlins and kept them alive for another day. Latrell Mitchell contributed 1 goal and 2 assists in the win. When being interviewed after the game, the reporter informed Latrell that he had gotten the first star, "I didn't even realised, doesn't matter about that though, all that matters is that we got the W and that I was able to help play part in that. This game is behind us now, we have 2 more to win and that's what we're looking ahead to, we aren't done yet."

LET'S GO BOYS 2 MORE WINS

1. First time in a competitive league, looking forward to it. 2. I think the team really came together and showed that we are an elite force. The development of our goaltender really helped out a lot too. 3. I thought we would have cleaned up, but not looking so great as it is. Hopefully can pull a come back. 4. I think we probably should have passed Yukon and beat them in that last game, it will come back to bite us if we can't even get out of the first round. 5. Maybe us, lol. 6. Yeah those two drove our offence all year, so obviously super important to team success. Feel like we had good options all the way through our lineup but.

Seattle 4-3

I’m not sure why but I didn’t think I’d actually hit the VHLM cap before the season ended. Keep in mind that there’s only a few games left in said season, but technically I did hit it with about 10 games to go. And to be completely honest I’m happy that I didn’t hit the cap earlier because I already thought damn, I can’t even apply the TPE that I earn now so what’s the point? Needless to say, I don’t plan on missing any available TPE going forward so it’ll just be banking for now, that is until playoffs are over. What did surprise me though is it seems that as soon as I hit 250 and got updated into the sim, my player seemed to start performing like crazy. Latrell Mitchell is how far and away above point per game which I didn’t expect going into the season and even had a 5 point game in there! Unreal, would have been cool to see what he could have done in a whole season. Looking forward to playoffs now and then the draft.

1. Think we can hold onto 3rd, just need to get over the hump of playing the Rush. 2. I'm currently there, but hoping to maintain a point per game and a + rating. Ideally would like to get +12 or higher to cancel out my - last season. 3. Yeah hoping to get some good confidence in our last games before playoffs, and beating Yukon at the end would definitely do that for us. 4. Well like I've said I don't think we've won against Yukon yet, so unless it's in the finals let's avoid them. 5. Nah Minnesota has been good to me so far, wish the locker room was a bit more active but. 6. Winter is the guy that's been carrying our offense all season and I expect him to continue that, so pretty easy choice there.
