TASK 1
West Kendall has gotten to be a perennial playoff performer through a number of different avenues. While I won't go too far back as far as trades go, since a lot of us have been traded at some point in our career, some trades are worth mentioning. WKP traded a regressing but still good Mikko Linna for a younger, also good Dani Forsberg. This lead to success for both teams as Linna won the cup the year after the trade took place with the Dragons and Forsberg won the year after that. Linna has since retired from the league but Forsberg is still going strong, leading WKP in scoring for the past three or so seasons. Another underrated but important trade was the one that sent Florence Cljisters to WKP for John Langabeer. This was a similar younger but not a good for older but regressing hard type trade. Cljisters has been impressive and very clutch for WKP all season long, especially in the playoffs, so suffice to say that WKP is really happy particularly with those two trades on their current run.

TASK 2


TASK 3
I would have to say that other than the playoffs, the highlight of my season thusfar has been my four goal game against Buffalo in route to West Kendall absolutely destroying them 9-2. I'm a pass first player and have been pretty "light" on hat-tricks as far as my career is concerned so it's always a shock and a nice feeling when I can pot one. Never in a million years did I think I would finish with four goals, on top of four hits, in any game. I wont say that it doesn't feel just an ounce better because I scored it against Buffalo, one of my former teams, however I want to be clear that I have no ill-will towards them. That's just how the chips went down and Simon T blessed me on that beautiful day. I obviously owe a lot of the credit to my teammates in that one for putting me in a position to score that many goals on only 5 shots. Another interesting note is that it was what one would call a "natural hat-trick" in that I scored the first three goals of the game one after the other. One was a powerplay and two were at even strength. Would have been nice to have a SHG, PPG and a ESG but I really can't complain too much lol.

TASK 6

Edmonton were absolutely ass-blasting everyone this year in the regular season so there is obviously some room for improvement in their lines as they were ousted inauspiciously by the Jets in the playoffs this year. First thing I would have done would have been to bump up the playtime of their top line by 5%, taking away from their third line. Their third line is definitely their weak point and I can see that a few of the players on the third line have below-average endurance, making them less effective as the game goes on. They also have some big hitters on the team so I would have changed the overall strategy of the team to include more physical play, especially when they were ahead. I would have also bumped up their top D-pair to 50% playtime as their combo is one of the best in the league. Another thing I would have potentially done was to swap out Rockefeller and Cuddles because Teddy is a top player in this league and I think his build is just a bit better. If you're stacking time on the top line, might as well have all of your best players there.

Fletcher - Knouse - Cuddles +5% playtime
Cukurs - Smyth - Rockefeller
Scholz - Czerkawski - Thorstein -5% playtime

Tuck - Tanner +5% playtime
Kalju - McIntyre
Chiclets - Hansen -5% playtime
