Not everything was sunshine and roses for Finnish defenseman Eero Makela in Season 60. While he was leaned upon heavily with the Nevada Battleborn, Nevada quickly fell to the bottom of the junior standings and Makela was unable to break up the losing ways. When he was dealt to the Carolina Kraken partway through the season, Makela seemed to find his stride, ending the season with 22 total points and a 78 defensive game rating. While it was far from the point total Makela had set out for, he certainly reinvented himself from his rookie season, where he was known as a bruising crease-clearing defenseman.

"I think the move to Carolina was a good one for me," Makela said. "They were pushing to make a serious Cup run, and knowing that I was part of their plans for that was a real confidence boost. I'm just disappointed that we weren't able to pull it off."

First, and most important, I need to make myself perfectly clear: there are only 151 Pokémon. That said, there are certainly different methodologies that go into creating a formidable squadron of monsters in your pocket. Side note, Monsters in my Pocket was a different thing, and I liked it very much. Anyway, the real question is: do you want to specialize in a type, or be a jack of all trades, master of none kind of trainer? To me, the solution is to have a theme, and my favorite theme is definitely Psychic. If 4 of 6 Pokeymanns are Psychic-type monsters, then the other two should be ones that are strong, but specifically designed to counteract against any Pokeymanns that are strong against Psychic-types. Give me an Alakazam and watch me make magic, pun 100% intended. So if you see me wandering in the tall grass between St. Louis and Colorado, just know that I'm hunting for Abras, and you best leave me alone.

I have no idea who is on Buffalo or Chicago. Give me a second to look at the rosters and look for names I actually recognize. Oh, wow, that was easy. Literally the first name in the list is my selection. Clearly the choice is Chimkin Wing, good ol' @Ragnar. And yes, Championship Week Directors, now that I'm Ragnar, I am 100% ogling myself in the mirror. What with my ripped biceps, and my ripped 12 pack, you know that the next step is going to be to rip some bodices. I mean, look at me? I've got a 17 strength, MFers. Not to mention my silky smooth hands - check out the 17 puck handling for proof - and my 16 balance. I'm able to do things with my body that even make your granny's panties moist. My biggest weakness is probably my shooting accuracy - sorry in advance for the bloodshot eyes.

"Championship Week is dope!"
Said some dude with a retainer.
You kidding me, pal? Even the Pope would say "Nope."
But that's not all, so here's your disclaimer.
The fire in the heart is tired at the start
Trying too hard to push out diamonds with your farts
Don't come at me with your tee pee eez
Waste of time like MTV
Reality show bullshit getting me down
Everyone's an asshole and a two-faced clown
But I push so hard to rep the Dragons
Calgary coming to circle the wagons
Year after year without stop or fear
Because how many teams go in constant top gear?
With a site-wide emoji that pre-dates your daddy's sploosh stain
Grade school kids think they're bringing some new pain
I wasn't born into this, I shaped this shit raw
Season 5 represent, we layin' down the law
So when the Dragons hoist the Cup season after season
Don't ever forget that I told y'all the reason

Two new junior teams, eh? The idea of every team making the playoffs is absolutely absurd. Why even bother with a regular season? It doesn't matter if you have 4 teams or 40 teams: the whole point of the regular season is to eliminate the contenders from the pretenders. Best of seven every round, to try to eliminate as much luck as possible from the ultimate victor. It's one of those situations where your first thought is your logical thought, and your best thought. This is a slam dunk - don't overthink the obvious. What else is there to even say? Make the regular season mean something.
