Written Task: A local hockey analytics blog has singled out your player as being the most underrated on your team. Your task is to write that blog post! Have fun with it!

Yo welcome back to the Deeper Dive Blog where we've been analyzing the Most Underrated Players on each team, based on advanced stats! Today's edition focuses on the Winnipeg Aurora, a team with no shortage of top-tier talent. The Aurora have been on top of the league for a number of seasons now, winning the Cup just 2 seasons ago and right in the conversation this season. However, the most underrated player on this squad is a newer player, who joined the team in a trade last season. Grogu Mandosson found himself shuffled down the lineup into a 2nd line role last season, and a third line role this season. But he is just as capable as any of the other big names on the roster. Based on S73 stats, Grogu had the best PDO on the team, the best GF/60 of all the forwards, and the fewest GA/60 on the team. With a staggering +63 on the season, it shows how he was dominant at both ends of the ice, despite not getting top powerplay minutes. This season, his PDO is the worst on the team, so it shows there's been some bad luck defensively, but not for lack of trying, he has the lowest SA/60 out of all forwards on the team. Not even looking at advanced stats, he has the 2nd most goals and is 4th in points despite playing 3rd line with minimal powerplay time. This is a player that is a luxury for the Aurora to have, they already have a top 6 that any GM would salivate over, and having Grogu as the '7th forward' so to speak means there's never an easy line to play against.
