Prospect Scouting Report - Daniel Weaver

[ThePerfectNut 563]

The Daniel Weaver prospect scouting report...

 

Daniel Weaver victory minor league hockey is still very short and has plenty of more games until he will eventually get drafted in the victory hockey league, but he has played around 30 games so far (including the playoff) between the Houston Bulls managed by ajwllmsn and the Miami Marauders managed by Ledge.

 

One thing that Daniel Weaver has shown so far is his scoring abilities, he has more goals then assists in his career so far and he's looking to become a full goal scorer in the victory hockey league and hopefully a team in the upcoming season 85 draft will notice it.

I will now be discussing the cons of Daniel Weaver so far...

His first con is his playmaking ability. There is no doubt that he has a talent for scoring, but he is having trouble to set up his teammate when they are in the offensive zone. He can make break out pass in the middle of the ice, but once we need to set up in the offensive zone, he has trouble founding the right pass to give to his teammates thus just shooting it on the net and hoping it will go in. It's something that he will work on with his teammates during the rest of the season by building up chemistry.

His second con would be his speed, he his a very slow player so far. He does not depend on his speed to get around people and found more scoring opportunities, but it is something that he will need to improve on if he wants to mak a bigger impact in the victory hockey league.

His third and last con is his physical plays. He is willing to lay the body on defence, but he doesn't want to play gritty in the corners  and would try to force a strip on his opponents instead. It's not a urgent matter since he's playing with other teenagers, but later in his career against adults. He would need to bulk up.

Now for his pros...

Obviosuly one of his pros would be his offensive capabilities and scoring. He is a scorer and his shots are lethal and it doesn't matter that it's off the rush, one timer, breakaways, etc. He will put the puck into the net.

 

His second pro would be his defence. He is an underrated defender, he will lay on the ground to block shots and doesn't let his opponents beat him to the puck. His +/- can somewhat show that he doesn't get scored on a lot.

 

His last pros would be his discipline, he's a very disciplined and humble player.
