What to Expect?

 

What exactly is it that Seth Rollins brings to the table? Seth Rollins is a blue chip prospect who could be a top contributor to a VHL playoff team by the time his career is all said and done. Will  he be the all-time points leader? Certainly not, Rollins doesn’t project as a once in a generation talent. He does, though, bring a lot to the teams he plays for. Seth has been playing this game for his entire life and will be successful at it, but at no point has he ever been known as “the next big thing”. His hockey IQ is off the charts, and he’s like another coach when he’s on the ice. He has a habit of telling his teammates where they should be, which is great if the talent around him is great. If Rollins finds himself on a bad team, then these players will most likely rely too heavily on Rollins and the team will suffer when he’s taking a breather on the bench. Seth could be a great captain someday, especially at the minor league level.

 

Rollins may be a silly goober off of the ice, but when it comes down to business his focus is second to none.

 

While his hockey intelligence is a huge strength, his skills also make scouts notice his game. Rollins will make at least one highlight reel play per game, or find himself to be in the “right place at the right time”.  This happens so frequently that it’s no longer considered a coincidence, but considered to be the result of Seth’s incredible pregame preparation. Seth watches a lot of film, so he’s able to exploit weak points on opposing defenses and goalies. Rollins should score a lot of goals this season, but don’t expect him to lead the league in assists. He’s a shoot first kind of guy, and he’s always looking to pad his stats. This is going to have to be worked on once he reaches the next level, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing at the minor league level. If he has the same mentality on  a VHL team, it’s going to be problematic and could end up holding back his team. It’s going to be up to the coaches and veterans to make sure Rollins has his head on straight.

 

Seth’s hockey profile goes back many years. His grandfather, father, and all three of his uncles played professional hockey at one point in their lives. Seth used this hockey pedigree to his advantage and was accepted into Wilson Academy in Newton, Massachusetts. From Wilson, Seth managed to make a name for himself. He finished each of his four seasons in high school in the top eight goal scorers throughout the entire country. He brought national attention to his high school team, where they managed to win one state championship and lose three consecutive championship games to finish out Seth’s high school career. He’s tasted both sides of the hockey cake, the delicious marble layering of victory; and the disappointing carrot-cake like texture of coming up short. Dessert comparisons aside, Rollins has always been a great complimentary piece to winning teams. If he can find a similar fit on a VHL team, he will have a successful career.

 

Losing hockey games feels like poorly made carrot cake inside of your mouth.

 

The only question here, is what if Rollins exceeds expectations? Just because he’s never been the top dog before in his life certainly doesn’t exclude him from doing it at the highest level the game has to offer. In this expert’s opinion, it isn’t likely that Rollins will be a franchise player; but it wouldn’t put me into shock either. The possibility is there, but is the desire? Rollins could suffer a serious burnout from the game of hockey if he becomes successful at the highest level of the game he loves. He wouldn’t be the first professional athlete to become complacent once reaching the highest point, and he assuredly won’t be the last. If Rollins goes above and beyond, he could end up being a special story.
