Milestones 3 TPE

I hope we don't mind me twisting the prompt slightly, but I am the IIHF guy and I do try to do something like this for every single PT, I just feel bad this time since this one explicitly says SHL Hall of Fame and a player who can be inducted, BUT in terms of the IIHF Hall of Fame and players who were never inducted, there's a few players that come to mind. Mike Izzy was not inducted for character reasons, but in terms of both having an impact on his native Austrian team, and a monstrous number of hits, he is perhaps the best defensive forward in IIHF history. Not to mention, Swedish goaltender Robert Andersson was not inducted despite being a winner of three Top Goalie awards.

Most people would be exited to win an award. Make a case for your player to win an award. If you cannot make reasonable argument, even very biased one, for any award your player should receive, you are free to suggest adding a new award that your player would be competing for.

If there was an award like most improved, except one that could go to post-regressions players, as I'm sure most improved is most likely to go to younger up-and-comers, then I think Petr would be in the running this season. Going from 31 points to 47 despite having 100 less TPE was a wild, unexpected, but very appreciated boost in my stats. It helped me reach 1000 career points, and gives me hope in somehow, someway, finding the momentum to keep my 500 goal bid alive, but realistically it is six seasons out in the best-case scenario. Hopefully, I retire before then. I imagine a big contributing factor to success in a player's late seasons besides build, is chemistry, and Texas has thankfully been rather consistent in terms of roster make-up, which probably has allowed Petr to remain a strong depth player entering his 15th SHL season. All I can hope for is that my remaining seasons continue to be as rewarding despite my TPE.
