So this was a tough season for everyone in the SHL. Dealing with trolls online, horrible PR from product endorsements, and on top of that all some minor identity fraud to add to the pile. Are these the worst things to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

It was a very weird season for me. While I was initially sad to get unprotected and exposed in expansion it was more because my former team went on to the playoffs again. So while I didn't get another shot at the playoffs I did get a lot more playing time. The season started off very rough. I wasn't scoring at all and we were losing a lot. Well we still lost a lot of games but I think we grew a lot as a team. I played a lot better as the season wore on and I think that helped at least a little bit. This was up there for my best season ever and I'm hoping to build upon that for next year. I think next year I can be a real force based on the groundwork I have laid this season. Plus I think the team will have done a lot of growing next year.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

I think this is the year that team Sweden will actually win gold. And I'm not just saying that because I play for the great king of Sweden. Every year we seem to be very close to making it to the gold medal game. We either play in a brutal group stage or lose a game very close to medal contention. With the addition of Jimmy I think it could really put us over the edge. We have a ton of great forwards and I think this could finally be our turn. The normal great teams will still stay great. The USA is always really good and so is Great Britain. Japan was really good last year and I expect them to continue to be very solid. So my expectation is that Sweden, Japan, and the USA all get medals this year and Sweden will finally win gold. I need that sweet medal money so I would really appreciate a nice gold medal.

We're at a point in the SHL where a good chunk of the playerbase played back in the STHS era, and a good chunk has known nothing but FHM. If you're in the latter part of the league you must have heard the horror stories... so: Let's make a hypothetical. 

Players who played in both eras: What would have happened if we just had one sim engine? Posture how your career would have gone if we stayed in STHS (sans exploits). Or what if you had created in FHM the whole time? Would things have gone better or worse?

I joined right at the end of the STHS era. While I didn't love the fact that we couldn't see how we played I always loved waking up at 7 am and discussing how the sim went with our locker room. I also think the update scale was much better. I think it was much easier to make a build and you kinda knew what you were doing. In saying that I love FHM and the visualization you get with it. The index is also amazing and I love all of the work that has gone into it. I think that if we were still on STHS my player would probably have had a much better career. I think making a build in FHM is much harder and it is harder to be good at lower TPE levels. If I was in FHM my entire career I think that I would probably be the same. It is really hard to say but maybe I would understand builds better.
