2. Derek Martin's numbers are certainly a bit inflated due to playing more games than TBB, and on paper one might think TBB has an edge offensively after the gaudy numbers that Max Carnage and Jimmy Wagner-Svenson put up during the regular season. Carnage led the league in points and goals while Wagner-Svenson was the leading assist man. Martin, Alexi Piastri, and Adam Prpich meanwhile were all top 10 in scoring during the regular season however, and ultimately upon closer examination LAP may have the edge scoring wise. LAP had a much tougher road in both the playoffs and the regular season than TBB, playing in the same division as SFP who was also a top team, and then facing them for the seeming 20th straight season in the playoffs. The fact is TBB simply has not faced an opponent as tough as LAP so far this playoffs and ultimately LAP has shown they can put up points against tough competition while I think TBB may struggle adjusting to the higher level of play.

11. I have always felt the biggest thing keeping things a bit stale in the SHL is the way most players essentially build their player in the same, cookie-cutter way as everyone else at their position. At the end of the day, the vast majority of players at 1800+ TPE are interchangeable as they all have the same generic builds. I have always thought that forcing players to choose "archetypes" for their player that either limit how much they can put into certain stats, or offer different TPE scaling of stats based on what they choose would be a way to freshen up builds and actually differentiate players more so that not everyone is just the generic jack-of-all-trades type player at high TPE levels.
