The new award is called the The Most Kind of Well-Rounded Rookie of the Year. It’s awarded to the rookie who has showed the best all-around game if we neglect one aspect of their game. This year the winner is my player, Walton Stromberg. Walton was a decent scorer (17 goals, 14,91 % shot percentage). Decent passer (20 assists). Not super undisciplined (28 penalty minutes). Had some power play responsibility (1:00 per game, 4 PP points). Played also shorthanded (0:56 per game). Pretty close to being even on giveaways and takeaways (30 GvA / 24 TkA). Delivered some hits (46). Great amount of shot blocks (153, 4th most among all forwards!). And the best part is game ratings. GR 64, OGR 62, DGR 62. Now that is some well-roundedness! We only need to discount the plus/minus stat, which was -41 – the third worst among rookies. But besides that, it was a great season by Stromberg.
