Quote:With a season on FHM in the books and a free redistribution gifted by HO for the offseason, what did you decide to change about your player build? Did you drastically change your build from last season? If so, why? Are you going to be trying to fit into a new role this season? What did you learn from last season's pilot run?

So, while I appreciate the free redistribution of TPE handed down to us by the Head Office of the SHL, McCarthy had an amazing season. He was 5th in points for defenseman and had the 2nd most takeaways of any player in the league. He had over 35 points, not a lot of PIMs, and honestly, was likely the strongest two-way defenseman, hands down, in the entire league. He was also able to bring home the Bojo Biscuit Award for the top Defensive Defenseman in the league last season, which was impressive for a player that is not built all that defensively. He's built to play both ends of the ice, something he does insanely effectively. That being said, it's hard to change anything about my build, except the part where I hit regression and had to lose a bit of TPE because I'm old. McCarthy is a Top 5 Defenseman in the league (Bojo win and no All-Star team? Pfft.) And likely the best two-way player on the ice in the entirety of the SHL!
