Daniel Weaver - Veteran Presence

[ThePerfectNut 563]

Daniel Weaver started his rookie season with the New York Americans, where the light shines the most in Hockey. He was around multiple veteran players from different teams in the previous VHL season, so he had the chance to learn a lot during the season.

 

Despite never playing in the VHLE, he was one of the best rookies and one of the only two players who had never played pro yet. He finished with 42 points in 72 games on the second line and 36 blocked shots without even playing in the penalty kill.

 

Weaver was a player that focused purely on scoring but once entering the VHL. He completely changed his playstyle that's unique in this new era of hybrid players. He was solely focused on improving his stick handling, puck handling, speed, and defensive coverage in his rookie season and that helped him being the second-best winger on the team.

 

Then the trade happened...

 

 

 

Daniel Weaver was traded to Riga. A rebuilding team and he's already predicted to become the best forward on the team. Some speculations say that he already might become the captain of the team even tho it's only his sophomore season in the VHL. Daniel Weaver is still humble and doesn't expect the team to be competitive this season, but it will not stop him and his teammates from just having fun and improving on our weaknesses as a team.

 

Daniel Weaver wants his team to become a unit. He wants everyone to be aware of their roles and try to perform their roles the best they can do for the team. He believes a united team can win the Continental Cup, but we still have a long way to go before competing against the other good teams in the VHL.

Even if it's only been one season in the VHL for Daniel Weaver, he already feels like he can take the next step as a leader and start working on his offensive talents, which he tossed aside in his rookie season for the better of the team. 

 

It's only a question of time for what's coming with Daniel Weaver, but with Riga having two lottery picks in the top 5. With the possibility of drafting a generational talent like The Frenchman on the team, he has the confidence that this new duo could become a problem in their upcoming seasons in the VHL...
