Midseason Acquisitions Find Their Step

VHL.com // Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

 

In an effort to patch holes on their team, the Saskatoon Wild brought in a handful of new players: Daring Do, Jake Scheel, Les Clarke and Ryan Hamilton. Do immediately stepped into the line-up as one of the team’s most devastating wingers, while Scheel has provided steady play down the middle. Les Clarke has also chipped in well, managing seven goals in his seventeen games, making him the deadliest goal-scorer of their new acquisitions. Ryan Hamilton has become an anchor defensively, with a team-high 30 average minutes per game. With Do contributing well over a point per game, Scheel and Clarke following at nearly a point per game each, and Hamilton running a plus despite playing such tremendous minutes, it appears that these new acquisitions have not taken long to find their step.

 

With all four players looking to make a splash as the draft draws near, it should be expected that they will continue to put in solid efforts each game. While it may not be easy to contribute consistently, particularly with pressure of the draft looming near, they will be given ample opportunities to do so as the Wild rely on them to a degree that a deeper team might not for such rookies. That the Wild alone have four draft-eligible players performing so well on such short notice only goes to show just how deep this year’s selection draft may really be.

 

So, what’s next for Saskatoon’s mid-season acquisitions? Well, the rest of the season of course. But even after that, with scouts swarming to watch VHLM games during such a tight race, post-season hockey. Daring Do has already proven he can dazzle and make plays. Les Clarke has already proven his sniping prowess. Scheel has already shown he can take face-offs and make a few plays, and Hamilton has proven himself as number one defenceman. They’ve found their collective step: but will they be able to keep that up when the game gets tougher?

Please do not smear this good members reputation by dropping my name in the conversation. He's doing a fine job of activity and content so far on his own accord. I'm just a sneaky fuck.
