Time has come for the final edition of this series because this is regular season award and post-season doesn't have any bearing on it.

I plan to make three editions of this series:

• Season Start Preview
  
• Midseason watch
  
• Final Summary
  

Nominees

LW Flacko Lagarfield @JSS
TPE: 739 -> 782
Strengths: 90 Scoring, 90 Defense, Skating 87
Weaknesses: 46 Checking, 70 Endurance
Projected Role: 2nd Line for better part of the season (due to Marius suspension)
Projected Stats: 8 G | 12 A | 20 P | 30 HIT | 5 SB | +1 | 18.50 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line
Midseason Stats: 7 G | 6 A | 13 P | 4 HIT | 4 SB | +6 | 16.97 AMG
End of season Stats: 14 G | 11 A | 25 P | 8 HIT | 12 SB | +2 | 16.69 AMG
Two very good halfs for player on the team that was firmly in the playoff spot for the whole season. He was solid on both sides, and strong third-line performance was crucial for the Buffalo success. Still, a bit short of my projections, it was great showcase of what re-signed Stampede Star in the making and S41 1st OA pick is going to bring to the team for a long time.

D Daniel Karlsson @dankoa
TPE: 733 -> 764
Strengths: Defense 90, Puck Handling 86, Skating: 88, Passing: 86
Weaknesses: Scoring 71
Projected Role: 1st/2nd defensive pairing
Projected Stats: 5 G | 25 A | 30 P | 87 HIT | 60 SB | +20 | 24.50 AMG
Current Role: 2nd defensive pairing
Midseason Stats: 4 G | 8 A | 12 P | 28 HIT | 38 SB | -7 | 22.70 AMG
End of season Stats: 4 G | 22 A | 26 P | 73 HIT | 74 SB | -11 | 22.36 AMG
Great season for the rookie defenceman and my projections were almost on point, with one small detail of +/- being entirely different. While Texas Renegades might have not made playoffs their future should look bright. While he didn't score any goals in the second half he certainly improved his skating and passing numbers. He also played a lot of penalty kill minutes, negatively impacting his numbers.

RW James Dekens @monkey10pts
TPE: 539 -> 565
Strengths: Scoring 89, Skating: 83, Endurance: 65
Weaknesses: Checking 40
Projected Role: 2nd/3rd forward line
Projected Stats: 11 G | 14 A | 25 P | 60 HIT | 10 SB | +3 | 18.00 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line (I think he was 2nd forward line for the first part of the season though)
Midseason Stats: 9 G | 9 A | 18 P | 26 HIT | 2 SB | -16 | 19.17 AMG
End of season Stats: 16 G | 14 A | 30 P | 34 HIT | 6 SB | -17 | 18.69 AMG
Leading scorer and point getter of this rookie race. He slighly slowed down in the second part of the season, though arguably was more efficient and had better impact, suprising a lot of people Manhattan finished just 4 points shy of the post-season berth.

LW Cameron Carter II @Boomcheck
TPE: 476 -> 476
Strengths: Checking 68, Skating 86
Weaknesses: Endurance 54, Passing 70, Strength 51
Projected Role: 2nd forward line
Projected Stats: 3 G | 4 A | 7 P | 75 HIT | 5 SB | -25 | 13.50 AMG
Current Role: 2nd forward line
Midseason Stats: 7 G | 7 A | 14 P | 48 HIT | 2 SB | -10 | 17.49 AMG
End of season Stats: 13 G | 12 A | 25 P | 125 HIT | 6 SB | -14 | 17.88 AMG
Cameron Carter II continued his good rookie ride and led the class in hits. I wonder whether with his development it's not going to be one and done career, but even if it's the case it's going to be one of the more impressive ones. Definetely outpefrformed his preseason expectations and deserve place in the highest tier of probable nominees.

G Geezus Kryyst @Narconis
TPE: 549 -> 583
Strengths: Style Control: 91, Hand Speed: 90, Reaction Time: 93
Weaknesses: Rebound Control: 82
Projected Role: Starter/Backup (at the season start)
Projected Stats: 40 GP | 25 W | 12 L | 3,35 GAA | 0.895 PCT
Current Role: Starter
Midseason Stats: 20 GP | 10 W | 10 L | 3.12 GAA | 0.889 PCT
End of season Stats: 44 GP | 26 W | 17 L | 2.83 GAA | 0.896 PCT
Fantastic improvement in the second half in nearly every aspect, but overall he still struggled, which is to be expected from rookie goalie. He benefited immensely from the best defence in the league, but I don't want to discredit an achievement of surrendering least goals and assesing goalies is quite hard, without any other rookie to compare him too.

You did something well

D Harvey Danger @hockeyfan
TPE: 478 -> 521
Strengths: Defense 85, Checking 58, Skating 80, Fighting: 27
Weaknesses: Scoring 72
Projected Role: 2nd/3rd defensive pairing
Projected Stats: 3 G | 7 A | 10 P | 88 HIT | 40 SB | -18 | 20.50 AMG
Current Role: 2nd defensive pairing
Midseason Stats: 0 G | 8 A | 8 P | 37 HIT | 21 SB | -3 | 20.48 AMG
End of season Stats: 2 G | 12 A | 14 P | 76 HIT | 45 SB | -4 | 19.99 AMG
He finally scored! Surprisingly played ton of power play minutes, despite being defence first player and overall it was really sucessful campaign for S42 player and bodes well for cotinued improvement of the renegades.

RW Piotr Czerkawski @majesiu
TPE: 728 -> 751 (not updated due to lack of playoffs, at 784 now)
Strengths: Passing 90, Defense 90, Puck Handling: 87
Weaknesses: Checking 42, Scoring 79, Endurance: 73
Projected Role: 3rd forward line
Projected Stats: 7 G | 8 A | 15 P | 64 HIT | 10 SB | -7 | 15.00 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line
Midseason Stats: 2 G | 6 A | 8 P | 26 HIT | 8 SB | -11 | 16.26 AMG
End of season Stats: 8 G | 8 A | 16 P | 43 HIT | 14 SB | -19 | 16.25 AMG
Much more lethal scorer in the second part of the season, but overall it quite was dissapointing campagin, that resulted in worst individual statistics among Top 3 TPE players in this race. Smaller role played a part in that too, but certainly my expectaions were here and I'm already looking to improve in the Sophomore campaign, after missing the playoffs for the first time.


C Alex Andani @Carbine
TPE: 583 -> 583
Strengths: Defense 87, Puck Handling 80,  Face Offs 80
Weaknesses: Scoring 71, Checking 40
Projected Role: 3rd forward line
Projected Stats: 3 G | 6 A | 9 P | 38 HIT | 8 SB | -18 | 15.00 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line
Midseason Stats: 2 G | 5 A | 7 P | 18 HIT | 4 SB | -7 | 14.67 AMG
End of season Stats: 4 G | 9 A | 13 P | 43 HIT | 6 SB | -14 | 14.61 AMG
Nearly identical second part and slightly better results than expectations, including respectable 47.88% FO%. Developement of this player is crucial for the New England Future.

RW Kristaps Ball @jcfbey01
TPE: 549 -> 584
Strengths: Scoring 90, Puck Handling 83
Weaknesses: Checking 40, Passing 80
Projected Role: 3rd forward line
Projected Stats: 5 G | 2 A | 7 P | 41 HIT | 0 SB | -7 | 15.00 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line
Midseason Stats: 3 G | 3 A | 6 P | 30 HIT | 2 SB | -7 | 14.67 AMG
End of season Stats: 6 G | 6 A | 12 P | 45 HIT | 2 SB | -14 | 14.61 AMG
3 goals and 3 assists yet again, even though he made nice leaps in different aspects of his game like passing. He is looking to be ready for  a bigger role with the wolfpack next season.

RW Noah Konn @NJBadApple
TPE: 564 -> 587
Strengths: Scoring 83, Checking 70, Skating: 81
Weaknesses: Passing 71, Discipline: 62
Projected Role: 3rd forward line
Projected Stats: 5 G | 4 A | 9 P | 80 HIT | 10 SB | -11 | 14.50 AMG
Current Role: 3rd forward line
MidseasonStats: 2 G | 3 A | 5 P | 61 HIT | 1 SB | -5 | 15.75 AMG
End of season Stats: 5 G | 6 A | 11 P | 99 HIT | 4 SB | -1 | 15.93 AMG
Top TPE wise player of the S42 class had his struggles during a season and his scoring wasn't quite up yet, but he still exceeded projections. He certainly hit people though, being second in that category and had fith best +/- on the renegades.

D Matěj Eliáš @Samee
TPE: 520 -> 552
Strengths: Defense 86, Puck Handling: 81
Weaknesses: Passing 70 , Checking 41
Projected Role: 3rd defensive pairing
Projected Stats: 3 G | 5 A | 8 P | 45 HIT | 50 SB | -10 | 14.50 AMG
Current Role: 3rd defensive pairing
Midseason Stats: 0 G | 5 A | 5 P | 24 HIT | 18 SB | +0 | 14.24 AMG
End of season Stats: 2 G | 12 A | 14 P | 63 HIT | 32 SB | +13 | 14.49 AMG
He really picked up the slack in the second part of the season, being crucial part of Riot playoff push. Led the rookies in the +/-.

D Troy McClure III @Troy_McClure03
TPE: 528 -> 567
Strengths: Defense 90, Checking 68, Passing 80
Weaknesses: Scoring 52
Projected Role: 3rd defensive pairing
Projected Stats: 0 G | 5 A | 5 P | 64 HIT | 35 SB | +15 | 13.00 AMG

End of season Stats: 0 G | 5 A | 5 P | 47 HIT | 36 SB | +3 | 13.28 AMG
Slightly better second part of the season for the best team in the SHL. He doesn't deserve to be in a limbo and with his developement and excellent team he is on, Jets should expect much bigger things coming from him in the future.

LW Finn Jakobsen @Pope [Leo]
TPE: 338
Strengths: Defense: 77, Passing: 75

End of season Stats: 2 G | 1 A | 3 P | 8 HIT | 6 SB | +-20 | 15.81 AMG
Similarly limited role in the second part, but at the very least he has a ticket to the postseason

Spreadsheet for grading

It was fun following this race, first and foremost congratulations to the obvious frontrunners! I hope everyone, involved or not, enjoyed that too and that I didn't miss anyone.
While for me my individual season didn't exactly end up as I hoped for, there is always a light at the end of a tunnell and I hope to represent   for many seasons to come, maybe even chasing team legends and establishing some records on my own. We'll see what future holds and see you next season!

I was hoping to take the award in emphatic fashion after my first 3 quarters of the season. I trailed off but kept it up to hit the 30 point mark. Nice write up bud, and best of luck to all the hopefuls.

3 time Four Star Cup Champion S40-S42
S43 Jesster Trophy Nominee Winner

Scored my first SHL goal in just my second SHL game. 2. Manhattan Rage , James Dekens 1 (Mikael Talo 1, Sigurd Hansen 1) at 18:39
