I'll do a countdown from my 3rd favourite item up to my 1st to build suspense. I have to give an honourable mention to the charity cards which aren't technically an auction item, but they're my favourite addition to the charity drive and I have to give huge credit to the card team for making them happen. For real auction items though, my third favourite is Daily Nash Pictures for a Week by Rangerjase. Everyone knows Nash is a superstar in the league and selling daily pictures of everyone's favourite cute dog for charity sounds like a win-win for everyone. It's the most popular auction right now for a reason. My second favourite item has to be the You Belong Physical Print by sve7en. The you belong graphic is one of the best things that makes this league great. I love seeing the colourful messages of inclusivity in people's signatures and I can only imagine how cool the physical print of the design will look in-person. It's a wonderful charity item. Finally, my top favourite charity auction item is Custom Emoji by xjoverax. It's been an absolute pleasure to be able to watch my fellow S76 draftee Jove learn the ropes of SHL graphics and improve his skills over time. He's produced top quality work for every single team in both leagues now and a custom emoji by him will be an incredible addition to any LR.

I'll list one player from each category of F/D/G for this question since there's a lot of different things to consider when picking for each role. For F, it seems like Ekaterina Valieva is the highest TPE player that probably shouldn't be picked. For two straight seasons now it seems like Valieva has had the opportunity to break through as a top fantasy player, but for both of these seasons she's somehow just failed to meet that mark. It's unfortunate that such a strong player just hasn't been able to put up the fantasy points. There's too much risk here. For D, I'll unfortunately have to list Ylib's brother, Nevek Kove. This is a unique situation. Nevek had the best fantasy season of his career last season, but then retired at near-peak TPE and won't be earning anything more this season. He's still the top D-man on MIN, but maybe the retirement will affect the minutes he gets this season. Finally for G, Rhett Carpet is the 2nd highest TPE goalie but probably shouldn't be picked. WPG has clearly committed to a big rebuild so it'll be tough for Carpet to stack up wins and shutouts this season with a potentially draft lottery worthy team in front of him.
