BeanSobie 91 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Lucas Galeano Scouting Report Bio Name: Lucas Galeano Team: Oslo Storm Player Type: Power Play Specialist Position: Right Wing Shoots: Right Height: 6’0 Weight: 180 lbs Birthplace: St. Petersburg, FL, USA Build CK = Checking: 40FG = Fighting: 40DI = Discipline: 40SK = Skating: 40ST = Strength: 40PH = Puck Handling: 65FO = Face Offs: 40PA = Passing: 40SC = Scoring: 66DF = Defense: 40PS = Penalty Shot: 40EX = Experience: 40LD = Leadership: 40 Grades (2-8) Shooting: 5 Playmaking: 3 Skating: 3 Physicality: 2 Defending: 2 Strengths, Weaknesses, and Opportunities Strengths 1: Shooting: Galeano is similar to many Americans that have come before him: Kessel, Modano, Tkachuk. He is the back end of the old hockey adage: Pass, Shoot, Score. When the puck is on his stick there is no one better. He can hold onto the puck and make some pretty solid dekes, but it is his ability to finish that sets him apart and will make him valuable to the VHL. 2: Experience: Being able to say you've done it before is something that not everyone can say. Galeano has a pedigree to his name and has one at multiple levels in the past. He has done this before and should continue to grow so long as he has the desire to be an All-Star in the league. Weaknesses 1: One Dimensional: Galeano can shoot that is no question. And with the puck on his stick he can do some pretty mesmerizing stuff. But once the puck is away from him he has a scared look in his eyes. All he knows how to do is shoot, and when he can't do that he turtles and becomes quite frankly a very bad hockey player. Take advice from a stock broker and diversify your accounts. 2: Content: The issue with experience is that is can lead to becoming too relaxed which is the enemy of success. Knowing that you can and have done this before takes away that edge of proving something to yourself. And while I am far from calling Galeano lazy, there is something to be said about skipping out on an entire week of training. Opportunity of Improvement Blank Slate: At the moment the only plus sides to Galeano's game are his offensive abilities, specifically when the puck is on his stick. However, a player can always get better. What Galeano has done so far is put himself in a unique position where he can get drafted by a VHL team and go in whatever direction the team needs him to go. He will always be a shooter first, but he could work on his skating and become an elite sniper, his passing and become an all around offensive force, or his defense and become a real 200 foot player. Putting It All Together The three S's are the pillars of successful hockey career: Skating, Shooting, and Strength. Galeano does not proscribe to that, and it should not be held against him. He is a very good player who has a lot of room to grow. If he looks at the holes in his games as opportunities he will go very far.

Admin Victor 10,947 Posted July 26, 2015 Admin Share Posted July 26, 2015 Are you including the attributes in your word count? You're over 450 anyway so doesn't matter but don't think that should count.

That's fair. I was really just trying to grind out an article at the end of the week. If I lose points for content that's totally understandable.

Toast 887 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Content 3/3 - Just barely made it over the 450 word requirement if I count the short bio and the grades, but I understand that this was done urgently to get it in for the end of the point task week. Other than that though, this was a solid bio and was definitely an interesting read. Solid work. Grammar 2/2 - Barely anything. has one at multiple levels -> has won at multiple levels Appearance 1/1 - Looks good! Final 6/6 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/22419-claimedlucas-galeano-scouting-report-final-66/#findComment-249880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toast 887 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Proscribe is used properly. It might be a little awkward wording, but it still makes sense to me anyways... I did notice it though.
