Option 1:
Being underrated is just a fact of life for the Texas Renegades' Marton Diehm. After winning the Onoprienko award his last season in the J, he expected to be more on the radar in the big league, but he still doesn't get much love in the media. Despite falling to the second round and being drafted 24OA, he currently sits 9th in applied TPE for the S68 draft class (and 14th in earned TPE), making him the top left wing of his cohort. But he's stepped up even beyond that, converting a lifetime of winger experience to now be the center anchoring the second line for an ascendant Texas squad. No longer able to just grind it out in the corner, he's had to learn to command the faceoff circle and to balance his physical play with the demands of leading the line. His success here has led to time at the head of the second power play unit and the second penalty kill, while being the point man in 3-on-5 kills. He's an eye test player over a stats monster, and every GM will tell you how valuable that is in building out a roster. |
