Claimed:Proving Himself

[Denver 198]

 

18-3 to begin the season and the Storm are off to the races in their quest to become a cup contender this season. Already there are a few surprises out of Oslo, some of which aren’t really surprises but are nice to see.  What’s really surprising is has to be the play of Oslo’s Ryan Cattrall who appears to be doing quite well for himself on his new found VHLM team. Already he’s proving to be a prospect that could develop into a future game changer when it comes to evaluating prospects being called up, he’s got the biggest opportunity right now to define himself as a player and find his style of play that suits him. After being heavily favored as a pass-first wing, he seems to be doing better at getting himself in position to score. Not to mention with teammates like Lloyd Light and Christophe Klose, no wonder he’s been doing so well.

 

 

Looking at his current stats on the season, there isn’t much to be in shock at but the interesting part is that he’s found himself in an interesting position on the second line. He’s finding ways to score, after being heavily favored as a passer he’s learning how to deal with not being able to handle the puck as well as he thought and take open opportunities. The most interesting part is that Cattrall’s shot percentage is the best on the team at 25.00% only seconded by Emidas Blair’s 20.00% and only slightly down from the 32.00% as of a couple weeks ago, on top of that he’s scored 4 Power Play Goals for the season thus far.

 

When you picture the most physically gifted and dominantly performing wingers in today’s VHL, there’s a certain style of player that seems to come across. They can shoot so eventually his attention had to turn to shooting because both his skating and passing seem to be on par enough to get him around the ice. Still, those of which that are in the VHL are the best of the best and serve as true tests for anybody who’s trying to outmuscle them. At his core, he’s following a blueprint of what kind of player he aspires to be the best can.

 

For a 2^nd rounder that’s all you can pretty much ask of him, try to get as good as possibly fast, then maybe they’ll be able to define themselves after being called up. It’s very possible for him to have a very long career in Helsinki if he continues to put together the pieces he needs to become a consistent threat each game – something that’s hard to do when you’re playing with so many incredible players already, it’s hard to get going when they’re already at the point where their games are ether already together or coming together faster than his is – though once he gets it together, there’s going to be an interesting point where he could serve Helsinki well with direct passing, improved mobility and way better vision on the ice for the puck.

 

 

He’s going to have to want to commit himself to becoming a dynamic playmaker, already his shooting this season suggests he very well could be with a bit more work. That also requires not only just to be able to handle a pass or two, he’s going to have to learn how to shoot far better than the 25.00% he’s been credited with.

 

There’s a long ways to go before you see him start chewing away at the upper echelon of VHL’s elite players, still this all just serves as an early indicator that he’s well on his way to providing not only Oslo with a future playmaker in the making that he was a very bold and smart pickup by Helsinki.

Your players progression as of late is very amusing, as you will grow to be a great player for the Titans next season, hope you do well this season with Oslo, but not against the Wild! 633 words.
