Update on Callum Murray and Gustav Mattias

[Berocka 2,263]

Here is a quick wrap up of my Players Gustav Mattias and Callum Murray and how they are doing.

 

Gustav Mattias after being drafted 26th overall to the San Diego Marlins has currently played a total of 23 games. During this time he has only scored one goal on 36 shots. However when he scores a goal he make sure it counts the only goal he has scored has been the game winning goal. He has got a total of 6 points though as he has 5 assists during his time. We all know that you can’t just have goal scorers you need to have the playmakers also on the ice. As the Marlins have an absolute killer line up and are currently 2nd overall with a stat line of 19-3-1 with a 40 goal differential, this can even be seen by Gustav Mattias who currently has a +/- of +18. He also isn’t too afraid to throw his body around with 44 hits and has spent 10 minutes in the penalty box. Also we know he doesn’t like defending at all and has managed to block one shot. It seems he must have just been too lazy to get out of the way.

 

His predicted score line will be 3 goals and 15 assists for a total of 18 points.

 

Now moving on over a short 194km journey from San Diego to LA.

 

The Los Angeles Stars home of Australian Callum Murray are also 2nd on the ladder with a record of 17-5-1.

 

Callum is having a slighlty better season than Gustav so far with 6 goals scored on a total of 81 shots as well as 12 assists to round out 18 points in the 23 games played so far. He is also benefiting from being on a good team as he has a +/- of +12 Callum is doing well with 47 hits but only having 45 shot blocks this season. The low shot block numbers could be from a fact that they are playing quite well and have less shots against them therefore there are less to block but who would really know with the limited data from STHS. Callum has sat in the box for a total of 36 mintues this season and from his 6 goals one of them have been a game winner. If we extrapolate out the number of games play to see what his predicted stat lines will look like we see here it would be, 18 Goals – 37 assists for a total of 55 points. This is significantly lower than my estimates at the start of the season of 29 goals 48 assists for a total of 77 points. But the season is still young and there is plenty of time to get those numbers up.

 

So what do you think of Callum Murray and Gustav Mattias, was it time for Callum to hang up the skates or is he going out too early? Is Gustav someone that you will have on your radar for future drafts for example the VHLE and the VHL? Only time will truly tell.
