With the routine preface that I know nothing about hockey, simulated hockey, or this league in general I am still going to try to answer this from the perspective of someone who knows too much about football instead. That said I am going to go with Ron Mexico's back to back MVP wins in S5 and S6. The reason why that stood out to me is Ron Mexico also won in S3, was a nominee in S4, nominee again in S7, nominee one more time in S8, and finally won a fourth in S9. Understandably as a four time winner the award is now named after them, but what makes that so impressive to me is not only did they manage to win the award back to back one of only a handful of players to do so in over seventy seasons, but was most likely a few votes away from winning four in a row. That would be a back to back to back to back win of the highest award a player can win to my knowledge. If you then also change a handful of votes in S7 and S8 it changes to an indomitable 7 straight MVPs. Now of course that did not actually happen, but the fact that it is by far the closest to that possibility makes me consider it to be the most impressive.

Also the four wins connected via nominations is impressive by itself as four MVP wins would be the most in the MLB (by someone who would make it into the Hall of Fame), tied for fourth most in the NBA, tied for second most in the NFL, and most importantly given hockey tied for third most in the NHL behind Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe. Speaking as someone who does not know hockey I still recognize those two names and that is enough for me to say that having back to back wins in the middle of a stretch with four wins and five nominations is a back to back performance deserving of being recognized in my point task. Thank you!



Well given my experience from another sport I am going to go with the Hall of Very Good as that is what a lot of people refer to as a sort of consolation prize for players that had a strong career, but fell short of the Hall of Fame for one reason or another. I do not actually know how players are selected for the Hall of Fame here so this may not be possible, but in the NFL they have finalists and semi-finalists and what not each year. In my book if you are in that almost getting voted into the Hall of Fame tier for multiple seasons before ultimately being ruled out you comfortably make it into the Hall of Very Good. Overall though judging from my incredible lack of knowledge both in regards to hockey, simulated hockey, and this league I would throw a really rough estimate out of a minimum ten season career for the Hall of Very Good. My player Dave made it to twelve and I don't really think he has had an especially long career at this point which is why I make the cutoff just a couple years shy and a significant number in our world that uses base ten even though base twelve is superior. Beyond that I would personally add anyone who made it to 2000 TPE who meets that minimum season criteria as I think that effort is deserving the recognition whether the sim actually liked the player or not. Given my lack of knowledge for stats I would go with another really rough guide of if 10% of the Hall of Fame voters or two of them whichever of those amounts is more think the player deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but they fail to make it into the Hall of Fame then they are instead entered into the Hall of Very Good unless vetoed by thrice as many voters on the opposing side. No player can be in both halls in my book as if you were in the Hall of Very Good then later enshrined in the Hall of Fame then just count it as a promotion and we would ship your shrine from the one to the other. Thank you!
