ASTRO SINGH SCOUTING REPORT

When we discuss scouting, most people generally look into stats. How good is this player? Can they produce goals? What is their game like? However in this scouting review we will look into a lot more than just numbers so that each GM can get an idea of what and who they are getting with Astro Singh. Lets start with the basics. Astro was drafted 17th overall in the VHLM draft by the Saskatoon Wild. He finished the Season 84 with 38 goals and 34 assists for 72 points in 72 games. 

 

First we'll look into the cons:

With Astro being relatively new to the game of hockey and how the league and its operating system works, Astro tends to take a little longer to adapt to the game and adjust his skill set to aid the development of his player. However, with his willingness to ask for help he is doing everything he needs to be doing to help bridge this gap in knowledge. 

 

Astro is a man of many talents, but sometimes that may lead him to be too busy for any additional socialization. Based on the long line of winners Astro has come from in past family members that have played in the league, Astro will have no issue integrating himself into any locker room however with his many professions that range from property management to health care, he may not be as active as his ancestors may have been in this league. 

 

Astro had an atrocious plus minus rating this season in the VHLM with a -34. Its a tough stat to have however it has triggered him to invest more into his defensive abilities and we feel that will benefit him in the long term. 

 

Now lets look at the pros:

Astro comes from a family of players that range in ability. The most notable player being Japinder Singh, who is arguably a top 10 player ever in the VHL. So he has the knowledge and tools to make himself a dominant player in this league. 

 

Astro, when available, is a blast in the locker room. He will entertain banter and dish it out if need be. Older members of the league would recall his lack of fear of speaking his mind, all while having his teammates back til the very end.

 

Astro is a loyal SOB. Some scouts are saying he would love to sign with one team long term, or perhaps his entire career so that he can be the face of that franchise. 

 

What is there not to love about a point per game player. Being so equal with goals and assists is a luxury in a league where balance can sometimes be forgotten. Lets not forget about a whopping 217 hits either. He will score on you, set his teammates up and then run you through the glass all in a 5 minute period and show no remorse.
