Defencemen

 

 

Overview 

 

It was a very odd situation for the youngster who originally joined the league as Thomas Moore a boring simple Canadian who lived in border city Windsor, ON Canada. However, the massive 6' 8" defencemen revealed a secret to the league during the season he signed as a late joiner with the VHLm's Mexico City Kings. That secret was his new name and even though the paperwork is not official, I will be writing this task under that name. Kamenov is in a strange spot as even though he joined late to the Kings organization management and his peers felt he had the ability to hold the mantle of leadership and was named one of the three alternate captains of the team as they felt with three great talents it was better to share that duty then to designate one as a captain. Kamenov was thrilled to join the Mexico City Kings. During the season the young big defencemen put up 8 goals, 29 assists for a total of 37 points. The hard part for Kamenov was that when he joined the Kings he was expecting to have a poor first season on a losing team on top pairing role instead of being a 2nd or 3rd pairing defencemen on a contender. He learned a lot about himself this season and made some great friends in Mexico City. So you know loyalty is something you will get with Kamenov if you treat him right. As of now, Kamenov sits 11th in VHLM Dispersal Draft rankings and 21st in VHL Draft rankings however with Kamenov he wants to prove to everyone that even though he joined late and others who joined much later than him as long as you treat him right he will treat you right.

 

Strengths

 

Kamenov as we all know his biggest strength is his height and that is something you simply cannot teach coming in at 6' 8", weighing 210 pounds. This lighter weight yet massively tall defender is the one you want on the back end quarterbacking your power play as he has a rocket of a shot. As well, he knows how to play defence pretty well considering he was late to the league and a -66 with Mexico City Kings. Many believe that was not Kamenov's fault but a lack of star power on a team that was looking towards the future. Kamenov was also challenged this season to work on one of his biggest weaknesses which was his skating by his agent and he has found himself a pretty solid skater. He's a big mobile offensive defencemen and that is something all teams should look into.

 

Weaknesses/Opportunities

 

Kamenov even though he is huge he does not really use his body as much as he should to take the puck off the opposition which hurts his defensive game which he has been working on it all season.He understands he is not the worlds greatest player but that is why he believes all weaknesses are opportunities with the right group to help develop his raw skill. He's been slowly working at it and his puck handling skills but most importantly his passing ability as those are his biggest weaknesses at the moment. I know that many players do not like admitting their weaknesses as weakness especially around the corner from the draft but Kamenov knows he is not the top guy in the draft but hopes to help you and the team move forward.

 

Future Goals

 

Kamenov like most youngsters want to become one of the most dominating defencemen from his draft class which for him it means putting in the work and not expecting to be handed the opportunity right from training camp. He wants to earn it and earn the opportunity to help lead a team. He also long term wants to be able to throw a proper body check that will help his team get the puck in a different way compared to many finesse players.
