Prospect scouting report for Joseph Poole

 

 

In earlier years specially in A and AA Joseph was a offensive genius and also a strong player who is tough when it comes to putting pressure on the opposing team. Some scouts have watched his game which is similar and close to Nathan Mackinnon but of course players have their issues.

 

Pros: 

1. Shooting

2. Offensive vision

3. Skating

 

Cons:

1. Defensive awareness

2. Faceoffs 

3. Body Checking 

 

As said before Joseph shooting and offense was one of the top players in the league with his fast pace and great eyes for open teammates and wide open lanes he is a problem when defenders don’t take him seriously. His great knowledge of taking defenders out of their place and forcing them to make mistakes makes him a deadly opponent.

 

But hockey players aren’t perfect. While Joseph is good on one part of the ice his talent lacks in the defense department he stands out when he is on defense of course he tries but when it comes to actually playing defense he is one of the worst on his team. Even as a winger they sometimes have to do faceoffs and sadly he can’t win many, since little leagues as a kid he was a full time winger almost never taking a faceoff which caused him to really never work on his faceoff skills causing him to lose a lot more faceoffs then average which of course can cause problems if he can clutch up.

 

Body checking was never his thing and when you are focusing your training on endurance stamina and shooting with bits of strength training you don’t really get a player who can hit like a bull.

 

In conclusion Joseph is a player with a lot of talent and can become a really good player in the M but his defense holds him back. Same with body checking, if the opponent’s team has really good defense and he can’t find a way to get in he practically becomes useless on the ice. A player with a lot of potential if he gets his grip on his defense and helps when he is on ice. We can see him go far in his career having a high chance at being a valuable piece to whatever VHL and VHLM team gets him but time will tell as this kid grows into something more.
