Claimed:Niklas Kurri 20 game review

[nikkurri17 109]

The Saskatoon Wild have got off to an excellent start this season. The franchise has ammased a record of 16-3-1 through 20 games and has an incredible goal differential of +36. The team has received great individual contributions from the likes of Joshua Rubin, Rami Jakobssen, Jarome Iginla, Kurtis Hunter, Lights Boken, Ashton Galbraith and Gunzerker Salvador. Gunnar Skovsgard has been excellent in net and has backstopped every game for the Wild. Overall the team has begun to display excellent chemistry on the ice and new G.M. Kendrick has done an excellent job keeping everybody motivated off the ice to become the best player possible. The goal is to win the cup and everybody seems to be on board!

Niklas Kurri has received most of his ice-time primarily during even strength situations as the team's 2nd line center. Kurri has centered left winger Ashton Galbraith and right wing Jarome Iginla. Kurri has not looked out of place and has put up some pretty impressive numbers.Through 20 games, Kurri has scored 6 goals on 23 shots giving him a shooting percentage over 25%. Niklas had added 4 assists and has posted a staggering plus/minus of +18. Another area where Nik has impressed is in the face-offs column. Kurri has won 59.4 % of his draws, that percentage is good for 1st on the team and 7th overall in the VHLM. Up until this point Kurri's development has been pretty slow and he is yet to break out offensively. While he still has a lot of room to improve, Kurri has consistently made strides and appears to be becoming a solid two-way center that could be a huge part of the Seattle Bears rebuild.

The Seattle Bears are in last place in the entire VHL with a record of 3-13-1. The team has struggled equally to score goals and at keeping the puck out of their own net. The Bears have some good pieces in place with Karsten Olsen, Willie Weber and Dan Tremblay, but they certainly will present young players with the opportunity to play key roles in the near future. The Bears added some key pieces to the puzzle in the previous draft. The Bears selected promising defenseman Llyod Light, Kurri and defenseman Brock Weathers. Right wing Brady Stopko will also be a key component of the teams future. These young players offer the club some hope moving forward and will be sure to help the team improve. Combined with an upcoming high draft pick and the addition of some more pieces through the draft and free agency, Seattle should again become an attractive place for players to play in the VHL. The General Manager Bushito has been awesome, making himself available to answer any questions or just talk about the team in general whenever possible to the club's players. If your reading this I hope you seriously consider joining Seattle in the future.

This season Kurri's focus has been solely on the task on-hand in Saskatoon. The team has championship aspirations and this could be a huge season for Kurri as he learns what it takes to be a key component of a successful team.

Hope you enjoyed.
