[Kel 62]

Position – Defenseman
Number - 47
Height - 6’3”
Weight - 225 lbs
Hometown – Gothenburg, Sweden
Age – 22

 

Hailing from Scandinavia – the recent factory for elite defensemen and it seems like Jedtsson is no exception as he’s proved that he can lead a team bringing an underdog team such as the U of Maine Black Bears to the Frozen Four. Standing at 6’3” and weighing 225 pounds it’s clear to see that Jedtsson brings a strong offensive game along with a mean streak. Jedtsson’s looking to produce with this God given talent in the Victory Hockey League as he hopes to become an elite defenseman.

 

Strengths

DEFENSE - It’s the key to shutting down games and that’s what Jedtsson has accustomed himself to a shutdown two way defenseman. He has a skill for disrupting the opponent’s schemes even on an odd man rush Jedtsson steps in and breaks the play apart. It’s what separates him from the other defensemen in the draft class.

 

HOCKEY SENSE – Jedtsson may not be the one you rely on putting the puck in the back of the net, however his hockey sense benefits both your offense & defense. His hockey sense puts him on a short list of defensemen who can quarterback a power play on a nightly basis. It’s representative in his college stats with four power play goals, and 15 power play points. His hockey sense is as efficient on defense as he rarely allows the opponents to beat him he clues on everything; the skater, the puck, and the other skaters on the ice. He’s always at the right place at the right time. 

SKATING – Jedtsson skating is another reason why you can trust him in the offensive zone he blows past opponents with his quick feet and standing at 6’3 his first three strides are very powerful. It’s a rare occasion when the opposing forward can handle Jedtsson with the way he controls his skating as he transitions as you do making him one of the toughest matchups on the ice.

Weaknesses

STRENGTH – Despite weighing standing at 6’3 and weighing 225 pounds Jedtsson remains to be useless in the physicality of the game. He’s easy to bet down low in a battle for the puck and he’s been caught off guard numerous times by power forwards who are chugging their way to the net. Although, his coaches are working hard to get him to practice his rare weaker side of the game.

 

FOCUS – Jedtsson’s got the tools needed to become an elite defenseman the missing piece is the patience and focus that he’s going to need to reach that elite level. Jedtsson’s lack of focus resulted in numerous scouts passing him up in the season 41 VHL Entry Draft, but in his final year of eligibility he’s determined to go first round.

 

Conclusion

FOCUS – Jedtsson’s projected as a top pairing defenseman with a tremendous offensive upside that could possibly be chosen in the first round. We could see a comparison to New York Americans defenseman, Connor Low.

Overview: 2/2 - Hits the word mark so you're good there. Just barely though.

 

Pros & Cons: 2.5/3 - You have 3 pro's but only 2 cons.

 

Grammar: 1/2 - Lots of mistakes here.

 

"he can lead a team bringing an underdog team" - seems to run on a bit. Can just say it like 'lead a team by bringing an underdog such as'

"disrupting the opponent’s schemes even on an odd man rush Jedtsson steps in and breaks the play apart." - AND even on an odd-man rush, Jedtsson steps in...

"he rarely allows the opponents to beat him he clues on everything;" - to beat him, as he clues on everything;

"you can trust him in the offensive zone he blows past opponents with his quick feet and standing at 6’3 his first three strides are very powerful." - in the offensive zone, as he blows past opponents with his quick feet, and while he stands at 6'3", his first three strides are very powerful. Sentence runs on and is missing commas.

"It’s a rare occasion when the opposing forward can handle Jedtsson with the way he controls his skating as he transitions as you do making him one of the toughest matchups on the ice. " - this one is confusing. 'with the way he controls his skating, as he transitions when you do, making him one of the toughest match-ups.....

"Despite weighing standing at 6’3 and weighing 225 pounds Jedtsson remains" - Despite standing at 6'3" and weighing 225 pounds, Jedtsson remains.....

"He’s easy to bet down low in a battle for the puck" - He's easy to BEAT in a battle for the puck

"to become an elite defenseman the missing piece is the patience and focus" - to become an elite defenseman, and the missing piece is the patience and focus

"season 41 VHL Entry Draft" - Season needs to be capitalized as it's a title.

 

 

 

 

 

Presentation: 1/1 - One of the pros isn't spaced away from the others, but that's minor.

 

 

Overall: 6.5/8

[CowboyinAmerica 2,887]

Overview: 2/2 - See, without the Position/Number/Etc. stuff, it would have been less than 500 words. But it didn't really seem incomplete to me, so giving you the benefit of the doubt here.

 

Pros/Cons: 2.5/3 - Would have liked to see that other con, but the ones that you did have were solid. 400 words on the pros/cons works for me.

 

Grammar: 1.5/2 - I didn't find anything pressing that the other grader did not already catch, but those are enough for a small dock. Most of them seemed to be the same error though: run-on sentences. If all else fails, just stick a conjunction (and, but, or, etc.) in there with a comma to separate them out more and you should be good.

 

Presentation: 1/1 - Very confused by that last "Focus" but gonna let it slide.

 

Total: 7/8

 

Final: 7/8
