okay but really. Think of stats in the SMJHl as something others don't think translate, you can use that angle when you're in the SHL and actually producing. Then it's legitimately valid.

Think of TPE as overall potential, and if you earned like 23rd in the draft or whatnot you need to put some more effort in to get to the SHL as fast as you can to prove your worth. positions of need etc all sound great but in the current SHL it takes several seasons for a guy to be of some value for the big leagues and that requires a lot of effort and hard work.

Maybe think of it as teams might think due to your russian heritage you might bolt for the KHL or something when the going gets tough, now you just need to stick it out and show you're the real deal. stay hungry.

You wrote all this and didn't even bring up the time I demoted you to the 3rd line in the playoffs. Proud of you boom you're really growing up
