Congrats to the following players for being nominated for most underrated player:

@MP7 Alexander Wachter (CAR)
Wachter was 5th on Carolina in scoring, but lead them in +/- and game-winning goals, showing he is a responsible, clutch two-way player that may not get the same recognition the other elite Carolina players received. Congrats on a great season and for the nom!

@Esso2264 Simothy Drunkebird (COL)
Drunkebird played a style of hockey that was used to describe the Raptors this past season, responsible, hard-nosed defensive hockey. Drunkebird was an elite defensive force, playing huge PK minutes, and winning nearly 60% of his faceoffs, a Raptor record. Congrats to this 1OA draft pick for the Onoprienko nom!

@JMacNCheese JMac N Cheese (DET)
Mr. Kraft Dinner here was a huge presence in helping keep his rookie Falcons active, being a vocal and engaging leader in the locker room. He was the veteran presence on a young second line, taking it in stride that he would have to help develop these players, and was rewarded with an excellent season. Congrats on your nomination!

@Capt_Blitzkrieg Danny Marston (STL)
The last candidate for the Onoprienko Trophy is a person I am quite familiar with, having spent the previous couple of seasons with Blitz as Scarecrow teammates. Blitz is a hugely vocal LR presence, always willing to help rookies, and was our top line center this past season. He was crucial to our success this season, and although didn’t put up eye-popping statistics, deserves recognition for his game. Congrats on the nominee!
