PROS

Defense: Just like any Defensemen Ganoon has a knack for playing good defensemen. While comparing him to most defensemen who are more offensive Ganoon looks really talented on defensemen. He can get a decent amount of Takeaways which can lead to breakaways in key moments. While he still needs to learn to master his defensive abilities it seems he has it on lockdown for now. Speaking of lockdown even when Ganoon can’t always get takeaways, checks, and shot blocks in, he can always seem to find a knack to position himself near perfection against the opposition. This is a key skill to any defensemen that wants to become a star one day. A key that should be utilized no matter the moment. 

 

Skating: Ganoon is the near opposite of a choppy skater. While he’s not always the fastest he can always be seen making smooth turns, and overall prove that defensemen can be the  best skaters in the league even the stay-at-home prototype. He can make his skating into nearly a visionary, he can make a turn look like a sharp angle. He’s put many people in his home nation of Sweden of his awe due to his skating ability. This might be seen as a skill that a player should have, but doesn’t need to be polished. However Goonan thinks every player should master their skating to perfection whether they’re Wayne Gretzky or Milan Lucic. 

 

Playmaking: Whether from Dekes and Dangles to Amazing Passing Ganoon can really master the art of playmaking in his VHL years. He can handle the puck well enough to keep a winger off of him. While he doesn’t have the handlings to get a guy like Teemu Lehtinen, Sigard Gunnar, Berocka Sundqvist, and that’s just to name a few, he definitely has the potential to have amazing puck handling. Now to talk about his passing. While Ganoon seems like a stay at home Defensemen, he can also play a decent role on offense. He can make a hard pass and a tape to tape pass. While he struggles to make saucers its still a good start for a player who wants do develop his offensive game. 

 

CONS

Checking: I’m sure you’re confused why he’s a stay at home Defensemen with no checking abilities. It’s because growing up he never developed that sense of checking as an important job for him. He maybe be able to the Forward a push, but he never has been known for his aggression. He hopes that one day under the right GM he’ll develop this skill and be able to get a good amount of checks in a season. While he shows promise for now we will have to check this down as a weakness.

 

Shooting: While Ganoon does have an excuse for being a Defensemen this is still something teams look forward to if their defensemen can put the puck in the net. If he has a Booming slapshot to tie the game, that scares the opposition or goalie, does he have a knack for scoring goals on the PP and on the 5v5. While this is a skill to develop it is definitely a strong weakness nonetheless. 

 

Strength: This doesn’t pertain to his balance after taking a hit but strength overall. He very much lacks the strength of a normal defensemen. While he’s young and will be hitting the gym more often he hopes to gain a good amount of strength. He says he will never take cocaine steroids unlike @Beaviss (Zyzz).

Review:

 

You'll want to use bold to highlight, not to be the body of your text. Otherwise it just looks sloppy.

 

Add a conclusion in there, as well as a summary of your player. What do they bring to the table?

 

Word count is fine, picture is good. Once the formatting on this one is improved it'll be a good profile.
