Eldon Escobar or to the name he was give by his hometown The Newfie Gretzky the 18 year old Escobar got off to a slow start pointless in his first 5 games with the bulls but he has recently really picked up his game lately with Escobar currently on a 3 game point streak with 4 points in those 3 games 3 goals and an assist to add for 11 points and 5 goals in 22 games so far this year Escobar’s contributions have helped the Houston Bulls achieve second overall in the western conference and fourth overall in the VHLM now here is Escobar’s pros things he does well and cons things he needs to improve on.

 

pros

Escobar prides himself on being a team guy he has a strong two way game playing on the bulls Penalty kill he has a good stick and hockey sense along with what is becoming a decent scoring touch with 5 goals in 20 games played so far this season with the Bulls his skating is coming along great he is good on his edges and has good balance with a nice skating posture and stride just need to get that foot speed up at a VHL level as well as his face offs which he has worked on and face offs is what Escobar said he’d most like to improve  to become a face off specialist with all these assets in Escobar’s Arsenal he uses them effectively while he’s on the ice.

 

Cons 

Now to the thing I think Escobar needs to refine to be and good player at the top level Escobar has the vision to see open lanes in the offensive zone but just dosent have the passing ability yet to quite hit the mark Tato’s to tape he’s also a player who doesn’t use his body he’s 6 foot 194 pounds he need to learn to use his weight to not only maintain possession of the puck when he has it but to for check and turn the puck over as well he also needs a little work on his penalty shot attempts as well he seems a little nervous and unsure in the times he’s take them so far this season Escobar also has tallied 17 penalty minutes so far this season in 22 games I’d like to see him half that.

 

projection 

I believe if Escobar Keeps improving to the drastic degree I’ve been seeing out of him lately in his very short VHLM career so far I have no doubt that he will have no trouble being one of the better two way Centres in the VHL someday if he refined his scoring and his defence adds a playmaking element to his game and keeps adding to his skating and learns to throw his weight around but still be cool calm and collected I’m sure Eldon Escobar has a long career in the VHL ahead of him.
