S53 The Draft so far

[Gooningitup 1,290]

S53 is another huge draft with big names up for grab today we will take a quick look at many of them, their respective strengths and weaknesses.

 

Left Wing Skatefast McChunky

 

Well, what is there to say about him he can skate like the wind. Combined with decent strength, otherwise hes fairly medicore so far. With his age its a big question mark about his upside to this point.

 

Right Wing Motherfucker Sharpe

 

You want a sniper who can skate this is him. You want much of anything else hes not you boy. Hasnt even been seen training as of yet which makes you wonder about his upside. However we expect some growth soon dont sleep on him.

 

Defender Xander Finn

 

One of the true big boys in this draft so far, he can skate. He can shoot, and he knows how to shut you down. The rest of his game could use some work, but hes a projected top player and pick heading into the VHLM draft.

 

 

Defender Roman Sokolov

 

Strong skater, i think we are starting to see a trend with prospects here. And great at defending his own zone. However after that dont expect much, so far looks like a high end defensive defender. 

 

Goalie Mis4tke

 

Keeps his game tight, doesnt usually experiment in different goalie styles. Reacts quickly, and has solid hand speed. The rest of his game could use some work, so far not logging any hours. However this is not something we expect to continue.

 

Center Franchise Cornerstone

 

Another smooth skating prospect, with a wicked shot. Seems to be the year of those, a top prospect expected to go 1 or 2. He has done some work to add to his two way game, but outside of that the game needs work like all young guns.

 

Goalie Rubber Band

 

The projected top goalie, has put all his focus into his hands with unreal hand speed for a young goalie. Now its up to his to round out the rest of his game as right now its pretty shallow. No cause for concern at this point in time.

 

Right Wing Brock Dragonslayer

 

I feel like a broken record, another smooth skating goal scorer. If your looking for them this is 100% your draft. The rest of his game is like many needing work.

 

Center Fredinamijs Krigars

 

Wait he cant skate? In a shocking move, however his best asset is in the faceoff dot were he looks to establish himself as an ace. Like most prospects he can score too, another guy who has left all his skills to 2 areas so far needing to be rounded out.

 

Center Lukas Muller

 

Most likely one of the top 3 if not 1st overall. Muller is a speedy faceoff ace, who brings a great playmaking ability. Ya you read that right he cant score. He sets up goals. Like most stars his overall game needs to be rounded out.

 

Defender Jonas Lidstrom

 

He can skate, score and play defense. He expects to be a much more rounded out player when all is said and done. However right now like his collègues he needs to work on rounding out his overall game.

 

Defense Marty McDouglas

 

A checking, smooth skating defensemen. Another rare commodity in the upcoming draft. Which should help him stand out in the middle of the pack when people are all close together. Another man who needs to round out his game after his strengths.

 

Left Wing John Locke

 

He can skate and score, like many of his fellow prospects. Where he seperates himself is with his hands. Showing good progress, like all prospects needs to round out his game more.

I think the season 53 draft will end up being just as fruitful as the season 52 one. Definitely a little more range of players in the season 53 one compared to the season 52. With Franchise Cornerstone being the first player off the board, it is going to be interesting to see how the picks pan out after that one.
