HANDEDNESS: LEFT
TEAM: LAS VEGAS ACES

 

Known as the A$$kicker, Denver Wolfe has a reputation despite not having played one single game of professional or minor league hockey and it's likely not the best reputation to have. Despite having hands of an angel, a shot that could break bones and speed like the flash, he's very much a hot head. Despite the temper he may have, he's able to remain professional with teammates and coaching staff alike and is very comfortable with taking orders and following coaching advise and tips from teammates without issue. Because of this, most teams will find that Denver can absolutely fit into any style of play, can make the best out of any situation and is going to potentially be a leader as he's shown signs of his potential at such a young age. All of these perks combine into one of the best players the VHLM and potentially the VHL has scouted, below are his pros and cons of the game. 

 

PROS

 

SKATING

SCOUTS COMMENTS: Denver Wolfe is an absolute nightmare for any player whether back-checking, fore-checking or just playing his position alone, Wolfe is always there. During combine, he's scouted to be one of the fastest of his potential class and showcased some of the best burst speeds the youngsters had to offer. His ability to take off and end up from point A to point B is just explosive and really has some amazing control, because of this, we'd list this as his best asset. 

 

SLAPSHOT

SCOUTS COMMENTS: While Wolfe can shoot the puck with a wrister just like the best of them, his ability to maneuver the puck in such a way that he can pick the pocket pretty much anywhere he wants is absolutely unique and one of a kind. His keen eye for finding the smallest of openings and being able to so accurately get the puck where it needs to be just showcases his ability to not only handle the puck but really become a threat to any goalie who may feel safe with their positioning. Easily his second best skill, and the reason we rank him so highly among his fellow teammates and draftees. 

 

POSITIONING

SCOUTS COMMENTS: Tying into the skating aspect of his game is Wolfe's fantastic ability to play his position which a lot of players just simply cannot say they do overly well. Whether it's in his own zone having to stick check or poke check, or if it's in the offensive zone making sure he stays open to nail home a slapper, he knows how to utilize his clear ability to keep himself in position at all times and make sure his teammates can rely on him. With this, his third best skill and showcasing his talents here as he does so with ease. 

 

CONS

 

HITTING

SCOUTS COMMENTS: Don't get discouraged just yet by reading this, however showcasing talents show that Wolfe doesn't know his true hitting potential just yet, thus does not throw the body as much as he's asked or told to do. During the combine, he did show one of the best hitting powers of the combine however really did not impress anyone with his body work or board play, had he thrown in his fair share of hits, he'd likely be touted higher in this aspect, but there is no concern for future development as Wolfe knows what he has to do to get up to the top tier of hitting. 

 

DISCIPLINE

SCOUTS COMMENTS: This is a bit of a touchy subject, Wolfe knows he has a temper, and while we noted he does not allow it to get him in fights with teammates and coaches alike, he is known for taking some unfortunate penalties due to emotions taking over his gameplay. Right now, this may not be of concern as in the minors it's bound to happen however scouts do believe without proper coaching and proper discipline this could translate to the major leagues. We would love to blame his Irish temper for this issue, however we do believe that due to not having played in a league and always playing on his own, it's just a skill he's yet to develop. 

 

FIGHTING

SCOUTS COMMENTS: While he may take dumb penalties as some would say, one thing he will not be doing much of is fighting. While he is Irish, he does not believe in fighting on the ice, however if he invites you to a bar after the game and you've maybe done something to push his buttons, I'd maybe politely decline, because off the ice, he's been known to crack some heads, for lack of a better term. However, the reason we scouted this feature is because some teams are looking for goons to step up and fight and with a player who just doesn't believe in it nor has any desire for it, we would like to push this forward as a CON for some teams.
