Big changing of the guard this season in LA. I'm so happy that Oliver Castillon is getting his time to the spot light. He finished inside the top 25 for points this season, along with one of his wingers, Andren Akerson. Oliver had been stuck behind a very deep and talented roster for a while. This season he led the Panthers in goals, points, and had a healthy ratio of takeaways to giveaways. He is ready to carry a heavy chunk of LA's offense going forward. I expect him to be a sneaky good player in the allstar expo. Since he wasn't at the tippy top of the scoring this season, he'll probably be a little lower on the depth chart, poised to surprise people who don't expect much.

Oh boy, I love this kind of stuff. I don't have a specific criteria I want to use for players filling this role in the future. Instead, I'm going to pitch some players I would like to see. First of all, Nathan Russell. Russell was one of the players I consider to be a prototypical power forward from the STHS days. As far as power forwards go, he was a little more on the offensive side, with his physical play being more secondary. I believe he had a legitimate case for a Mexico nomination in season 31, but sadly it didn't happen.

Next! I want Brian Morley! I like Morley. He's an under appreciated player, probably because his peak was a bit on the shorter side. From in seasons 23 and 24 there were very few forwards as good as him in both scoring and physical play. He wasn't really a big hitter for most of his career, but in S24 he was a force on the ice. On top of that, in season 22 he led the league in goals and points, then he led the league in goals again in season 24. Sadly, he didn't end up winning the Mexico in his career.
