Background:
 

Justin Lose (18 years old) is a 5' 10" 160lbs RW for the Philadelphia Reapers as a waiver pickup. Joining mid season Lose slowly adapted to the professional level. Lose was an offense powerhouse in the Junior league and is looking to translate that into the VHLM. He is now meshing well with his team being on the second line with Thomas King and John Callahan Jr including powerplay time. He started his season slow with limited scoring and shooting. Currently he has found his stride and is now producing points in big moments. You would be drafting a motivated player who wants to grow every week.
