Shawn Gretzky will need to step up for Davos

[scoop 3,386]

The Dynamo have taken a large step forward with the acquisitions they have made this off-season, but how successful they end up being could come down to the development of third-year players Shawn Muller. Coming in, Diana Maxwell will shoulder a large burden of the offense, but when she was successful in New York, she had two great centers in Unassisted and Essian Ravenwing with whom she worked well. For Davos, a lot will be riding on the chemistry between Gretzky and Maxwell.

 

Gretzky will also have some top flight competition to deal with on Europe's other top teams. The Reign now have Ravenwing as their top center, while the Titans have Franchise Cornerstone. No one is expecting Gretzky to reach the level of these two, considering they are both top five forwards, but if he is grossly outmatched, it will make things very difficult for the rest of the team.

 

All three of the top European teams have a serious shot at winning, with advantages and disadvantages over each other. Bringing Lee King Snatch to the team, the Dynamo have a better defense than the Titans, while their forward unit as a whole is superior to Riga's.
