It was a much more competitive season in FHM for many teams, quite a few were in playoff races for the finals few spots and I was surprised to see those so close down the stretch. It was great to see though and shows improvement by all the "rebuilding" or "re-tooling" teams if you can call them that. We all knew one of the teams in the great lakes division was going to miss the playoffs, which is a bummer, but I was more surprised by the tight playoff races down the stretch with teams like Baltimore, New England, Tampa and San Fran, Seattle, Minnesota, etc. Honestly it was great to see and a nice surprise to have so many teams with playoffs hopes a live in the final week of the season. It's good for the league and shows me teams are improving their knowledge of how to win games in fhm and while a few teams are still way ahead of everyone in that department the gap seems to be closing a bit, at least in regular season.

I think defenseman Brennan Kennedy Jr will be a hall of famer and with a few more great seasons will be on the cusp of being a lock. He's still in his prime at over 1900tpe and has many great seasons ahead of him to gain said lock status. After coming up as a true rookie in S46 just finished his 14th SHL season and is currently still one of the best defenseman in the SHL always being among the top defenseman in scoring every season. He's been a superstar for a number of seasons now and has become a perennial contender for both the Stevens and the Bojo awards. In fact recently in S57 he was nominated for both awards! I'm not sure anyone has achieved that before and if they have is a very rare accomplishment. So far he has been nominated for three stevens and two bojo awards in total and when your on the Dragons these are pretty much as good as wins. Either way being nominated that many times show's he been at the top of his game for a very long time. He's also made 4 all-star teams including a 1st team all-star. He's on pace to of become the all-time leader in points among Dragons defenseman which is quite a feat in itself. Currently he has 417 points in his career, 109 goals and great peripherals, so with at least another 5 good point producing seasons ahead of him, maybe more he should settle in above 600 points for his career. He's also won a challenge cup in S50 and could add to that in the coming seasons. I think the points and his award nominations as well as what lies ahead he will definitely be a hall of famer and could become a lock or at least on the cusp of being a lock.

I think the two best teams this season made the finals, both had a lot of high tpe players and were tough to beat in the playoffs. I think the best team that didn't make the finals was also the best team that didn't make the playoffs, Chicago. After winning the cup last season and being one of the top teams the last few seasons, I think if they had gotten into the playoffs they would have done some serious damage. It's possible they'd be in place of Buffalo in the finals against Hamilton. So I think that's the best team that didn't make it. Texas and Calgary also had good teams as did Toronto but I think Chicago's roster was right there with them or above and based on winning last season would probably had been a favorite over those teams. It will be interesting to see what happens with divisions moving forward, Chicago was a great team definitely deserved to be in the playoffs and have a shot at the cup.

I would like to say nice things about @O4L and thank him for hiring me as Dragons GM way back in S24. Without him giving me the opportunity to be GM I don't think the league would have become so special for me and I would not have made such great friends and enjoyed this all so much. He is a great person and mentored me as a young player and taught me a lot about GM'ing. He also made sure he set me up well with draft picks and great young prospects before he stepped down, most notably 1st overall pick in my 1st season as GM which ended up being Randy Randleman who obviously became a legend. Without that 1st and other players he drafted right before he left like Hunter Wong, Michael Boychuk, Sachimo Zoidberg we would probably not have been able to win those cups in S27 and 29. Thanks Ofer, I still owe you!
