Launchpad McQuack came into the VHLM after the draft had taken place. He had opted to sign with the Oslo Storm to help out then friend, Megster. This reunion would only last for so long as McQuack reached out and stated that he wanted to be traded. Not even at the trade deadline, but before hand he had asked to be traded to the Ottawa Lynx. From there is seemed like he would be doing bigger and better things for not only himself, but the team. He was destined to help this team continue it's rise in the standings. Well that only lasted so long as well because the team slowly started to fall. It seems as if the chemistry played a part in this team's faltering. One could even say that trading for McQuack hurt the team more than it actually helped out. He was drafted to the NY Americans in the second round of the S57 draft and below we have a leak of his scouting report.

 

 

Scoring is probably the biggest positive to Launchpad's game. It is the focus right now and he seems to be able to score goals with ease. He knew coming into the VHL that he was going to be a top notch sniper and he is hoping that is pays off for him. In the VHLM he didn't put up huge goals but he knows very well what he is capable of and he intends on showing it this season. It's going to be tough playing on a rebuilding team, but he will be the second liner and he should be able to take advantage of some lesser talented players on opposing teams second lines. Face offs is something else that Launchpad prides himself on. He wasn't the best face off specialist in the VHLM last year, but he made his mark just fine enough. Again playing on the second line should really help out when it comes to this as well. There are some pretty great second line centers in the VHL but also some that aren't so good. If Launchpad wants to keep this number high, he is going to have to work on it more. Puck Handling is also his forte. He tends to not turn the puck over when he has possession and it has helped him out a lot in his career so far.

 

One of Launchpad's weaker points to his game is defense. His defense has been very suspect when showing up to games. It almost seems as if he is non-existent when it comes to actually playing defense. This kid has watched the opposition zip right by him many of times and he hasn't done anything to stop them. Hopefully he works on this while he is in the majors. Another thing that has been faltering him is his passing. Somehow despite being really inadequate at passing, he still had really solid numbers in the VHLM. To his surprise he had more than he managed to have goals. Leadership is also something he doesn't pride himself on. He tends to follow the crowd when things happens and he has no interest in being a leader. While it really isn't that big of a deal, it can actually hurt him in the long term mentally.
