In another reality the New Orleans Specters lose to Edmonton Blizzard and thus the Blizzard move on and make it to the Challenge Cup finals after beating the San Francisco Pride and play against the Manhattan Rage in the finals of the least post season that will be simmed using STHS. Brady McIntyre leads the Blizzard to a challenge cup victory with the most hits and the most points in the entire playoffs. Scoring only 2 goals he becomes the new archetype for the premiere playmaking yet physical defenseman in the SHL only for the entire landscape of defensemen in the SHL to change entirely in the coming offseason. Tommy Tuck retires on top rather than playing another season as the backup because he's officially the king of goaltending, Tommy Salami goes down as the best two way center of all time and Tor Tuck becomes a professional boxer rather than finishing out his career as a hockey player oddly enough.

With how much TPE I have I'll be able to get at least one attribute to 20. That means I need to really think about which one I want to spent that huge amount to get to 20. I think that I'm going to choose positioning. Skating attributes are really important for every position, but if you're never out of position it minimizes the need for you to be a really good skater so I think that's the most cost effective route to go which it comes to playing defense. I'm definitely going to make an offensive defenseman though, so watch out of my passing or shooting range to be stupid high too. (113 words)

Brady is really looking forward to reinventing himself. Coming into the SHL he was supposed to a needle threading offensive defenseman, the kind of guy that you point out the to control the power play and give the shooters on your team space to put one home in the last minute of the game. Because of current state of the SHL he's had to become an all around defenseman, providing both offense and defense for his team. Of course that'll still be the goal but he'll really be able to have his own play style now due to the changes the head office is making this offseason. So really the thing he's looking forward to his training this new part, or dimension I guess, of his game and to see the way it makes a difference for him on the ice. He really thinks that he's going to be able to provide a lot more value to the team and put them over the edge into the Challenge Cup race again this offseason. (173 words)

I think Luke Thomason is the most likely player to win an award on the Manhattan Rage. Just this offseason he broke the top 10 list of most TPE in the league from one single player. With the new changes he's going to have a lot of offensive and two way potential. Based on that I think he's a great candidate to take home either the Ron Mexico Trophy, the MVP award, or the Jeff Dar Trophy for the best two way player in the league. Knowing Luke he values two way player a there's a lot potential for him to build a two way forward and keep him good for a long time. (114 words)

1. Truthfully I don't know DaftRainCloud at all. I know Grapehead and how hard he has worked to get SFP to the place they're in, but I also know JayWhy, Luke, and the coach Inf1d3l all work a lot on lines and have some really great players. I gotta go with MAN management on this one. (55 words)
2. I think personally that STHS really favors teams that play their top players more than other players regardless of how evenly distributed your TPE is. It just seems like giving your top players more ice time yields better results. I could be wrong but I've got to go with the SFP lines on this one. (55 words)
3. Well I definitely don't agree that they're the best two logos in the league but I'll say that I think San Francisco has the better logo. Not really a big fan of the bull logo in general. The Lion looks pretty cool though. Both teams have interesting colors, but purple and gold are cooler than red imo. (57 words)
