Claimed: Fred Krīgars RP

[hedgehog337 3,483]

 

*119 points? issa nutthin*

 

 

The @hedgehog337 agency has already produced decent players for every sim hockey leagues and what's more impressive, he managed to find talents for every postion: LW; RW; goalie, defence...every but a center. So the Nereta's own Fredinamijs Krīgars was a special guy for a Latvian agent. His first appearance on the VHLM league happened on S51 when he was convinced by his agent to join the Bratislava Watchmen team which was GM'ed by himself. Fred helped team to beat Bern, but then they got swept by Moscow. Then he got drafted by Yukon when he started to show his strength: his solid play helped Yukon to reach the finals twice, but unfortunately he finished both seasons as a runner-up. Also, he was drafted by Quebec in the S53 draft, but he never played a game with them as his agent became a Riga GM and shortly after that Krīgars was traded to his team. Now he's a 2C behind Ravenwing and perhaps he will be promoted to 1C after Essian retirement. 

 

 

STRENGTHS

 

1. Scoring. Krīgars is basically a Zeptenbergs type of a player, the only difference is Fred is decent at faceoffs as well. And it seems like he's more talented than Zep was - he managed to notch 83 points on his rookie season. And now he broke the hedgehog337 agency's point record - nobody was able to score more than 85 points before Krīgars posted 119 points in this regular season. 

 

2. Talent. That what I was talking about in my first point - he didn't even work hard to make a splash from the 2C position. It didn't came from nowhere though - the VHLM already witnessed his exceptional scoring play, where he with his Yukon teammates almost pulled a miracle in the S52 finals against Bratislava. So maybe he's not busting his ass, but he knows what he needs to improve. 

 

3. Clutch. He really imroved this part of the hockey game. He posted a solid 8 game winning and 3 game tying goals and only Phil Shankly was better with the 9/5 stat. So you can see he's not the unexperienced guy anymore and he can turn the game by his own. 

 

 

WEAKNESS

 

1. Defence. Nothing surprising here. Zeptenbergs also never was a soild defender and Fred is a quite selfish guy as well. Just look at his ''only'' +51 from this season - only his second line partners De Rossi and Pastrnak had worse ratio (+50 and +48, respectively). All he knows is how to score and how to win faceoffs, but when it comes to defend his goalie - Krīgars is nowhere to be seen. 

 

2. Quickness. I know the centers are getting much hits, but it is his fourth VHL season already. And maybe it is time to stop being so clumsy to receive 200+ hits every season? Because it could help him to score even more goals or assists instead of stucking in the opponent's defensive wall. 

 

3. Work ethic. The most typical con from all hedgehog337 agency players. It doesn't means they're completily lazy, but when it comes to working harder than usual - Krīgars is out. And maybe now he's scoring 119 points, but will he do that same in like, 7th season? I don't think so and his lack of the worth ethic is going to be one of the reasons of that. 

 

 

Conclusion: a talented player without much longevity. yup. 

 

 

That's it and I'm out. 

 

 

You already know who gets 8 TPE.
