Shane Lazeski Scouting Report

[Lazarus 62]

About                         

                While early struggles by the Mexico City Kings have ruined any hopes of a playoff run, the strong playmaking ability of Shane Lazeski has led him to a strong start in his rookie campaign. He has racked up 35 points in his first 42 games with the team with a majority of his points coming from feeding his teammates. Lazeski has an extremely selfless mindset when he hits the ice and demonstrates exceptional vision, always finding the open man. Lazeski came midway through season 77, yet he has proven that his inexperience hasn’t affected his ability to make a serious impact on the Kings. His early success has been a huge factor in a stronger second half of the season for Mexico City. Lazeski took advantage of his role on the team and played his very best during his time with the Kings and while he has the privilege of playing with some amazing players, it’s his love of the game that allows him to play with such confidence.   

 

Strengths

1. Eyes on the back of his head and will find players most others can’t. He can find instant chemistry in any room that he’s put in.

 

2. Always puts his teammates first and will be sure to set up plays rather than taking dumb shots.

 

3. Comes to work every day to better improve himself and develop into a VHL caliber player.

 

4. Whilst being a playmaker, Lazeski can put the puck in the net as well. He continues to get better at it as the season winds down, tallying 11 goals. 

 

5. High hockey IQ, especially in the offensive zone and can read plays very well. He creates opportunities with an array of tools such as rebounds and banks. 

 

Weaknesses 

1. Being a smaller guy, Lazeski isn't as physical as he should be. He can get tossed around by the larger players in the league.

 

2. Defensively, Lazeski has had his struggles getting back and defending the rush. He knows this is a major flaw in his game that needs to be addressed in the off-season. 

 

3. Even though Lazeski doesn’t take dumb shots as mentioned earlier, he has a tendency to look for a pass even with a good shooting lane available.

 

4. Can get in his head during personal slumps which can make it harder to get out of them.

•  

 

Shane Lazeski will never be fully satisfied with his game and has many improvements to make, but he will put in his full effort to better himself and his team.
