Sad Ketchup is a young forward from the Newfoundland Berserkers of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League. The young forward was drafted 13th overall in the Season 72 Simulation Major Hockey League draft. Sad Ketchup was drafted as a left winger but was converted to center by the Newfoundland Berserkers coaching staff. He just finished his rookie season in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League playing a new position and in a new league.

Sad Ketchup is an offensive dynamo who is known for putting the puck in the net and having a high offensive IQ. His greatest strengths are his puck handling, ability to find open net, and being in the right place at the right time along with his balance and strength on his skates and the puck. This can be proven by his impressive offensive scoring output this season of 32 goals and 38 assists for 70 points in 66 games. Sad Ketchup placed top 5 in rookie scoring and was able to put up a solid faceoff percentage of 55 percent in his first season playing center in his career.

Ketchup's weakness has always been his defensive game and lack of physicality. He has always been known to cheat in his own zone and leave some to be desired in his defensive game. His season was not terrible defensively with 40 takeaways, 17 blocked shots and 112 hits but it could be improved. The defensive game is an area where Sad Ketchup will need to improve in his time in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League before he makes his way up to the Simulation Hockey League. Some scouts argue that the physicality part of Ketchup’s game will not hold him back as he has the skating ability to get away with no throwing his body. The defensive game is what scouts believe could sink the young forward if he chooses to not to put in an effort to improve.

In terms of teams in the Simulation Hockey League, teams who are looking at Sad Ketchup as a prospect would be banking on the offensive output outweighing the potential risks in the defensive game. Many players are able to put up acceptable defensive seasons and be atop of the Simulation Hockey League scoring. The risk is that teams drafting Ketchup could be getting a power-play specialist which in today’s SHL is not that useful as the game has grown and most successful players have strong two-way games.

Another strong reason teams may be looking at Sad Ketchup is the agency Sad Ketchup is a part of. Ketchup’s agency has a history of bringing over strong talents who had some success at the SHL and have even been top of the earning charts. Something to consider is none of those talents have ever won any awards or been on the top of the league scoring charts, so maybe some teams may see that as a red flag.

It’s hard to say where Sad Ketchup will end up or where he could be projected to go as there is a lot of talent in the draft, it will be interesting to see how SHL teams value Sad Ketchup the player as he is definitely could be a boom or could be a bust depending on how much effort he puts into working on his weaknesses.

As a recreate who has not done point tasks in awhile I did not really notice a difference in the point tasks personally, it seemed about the same to me, they are a task after-all.
I will say I enjoyed the Bonaza tasks especially being able to have freedom to write about my own player rather than having to write about players or teams I don't care about who are in the final. I enjoyed the new changes and it felt less like a "task" to me than the Championship Week's I was used to being an older recreate. I thought it was a nice change and didn't take too long for me to do. Overall, I the point tasks felt fine and were relatively easy to do, so no complaints from me
