LOGAN NINEFINGERS

PROSPECT SCOUTING REPORT

RW-MIAMI MARUADERS S90

S91 VHLM TEAM -TBD

 

            As the end of Season 90 comes near the VHLM saw Junior phenom Logan Ninefingers sign with the Miami Marauders for the playoff push.  This offseason Logan will enter the VHLM draft.  We have had a few games to view the big right winger so lets talk about his strengths and weaknesses thus far:

 

S90 Games so far: 11 GP 2G 2A 4 Pts -1 18 shots 0 PIM 19 hits 3 shots blocked 1 GW goal 

 

STRENGTHS:

 

Size: 

Logan has size at 6 05 240 pounds and speed to go with it.  He can glide in and out of defenders or knock them over.  He plays a heavy game in front of the net and does his best work knocking in junk rebounds.  He has a mean streak to go with the size as seen with his hits and penalty minute totals in Junior. 

 

Release:

So despite looking like a locomotive, Logan has a quick release on his shot that can stifle opposing goalies.  Being new to the Marauders now he has yet to develop the playing time consistent to see what his game is made of, but we anticipate next season he will have the numbers to show for his great shot. 

 

WEAKNESSES:

 

Discipline:

Well…so far, he has 0 PIMS in 11 games but it is believed that like his retirieng VHL cousin, Brian Payne the family curse doesn’t fall far.  Ninefingers has said he wants to learn from Payne’s mistakes with discipline and not take stupid penalties to hurt his club, but he knows he has an emotional streak.  He will need to work on this as it could cost him in the draft rankings. 

 

Defense:

Playing a 200 foot game is a must for any VHL hopeful.  Ninefingers knows that he needs to allocate the appropriate effort (and TPE) to defensive coverage and Poke check to make himself more valuable to the clubs that pick him up.  Defense wins games his cousin tells him so I expect Logan to work on this portion of the game as soon as he can allocate the points.  

 

CONCLUSION

Logan Ninefingers was asked which NHL Player he most wanted to mirror his game after.  His response?  Brendan Shanahan and Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath

 

 

He said both players personified the balance between physical and scorer.  The type of player that earns his shift every game and leads his team by example.  

 

If that his the type of player Logan wants to be then the VHL, VHLE, and VHLM are in for a treat!
