Thanks Daft! I can already here everybody clamoring for you to do this whole thing. Congratulations @satf Haley Knight (HFX) for winning this year's Quilha Agante Trophy! Can't wait to see what Ferda's twitter account has to say about this!
Up next:
Vyacheslav Onoprienko Trophy- Most Underrated Player
On a dominant Carolina team, Fiddler can often be overlooked, even though he led the league in assists, and finished at almost a PPG pace, with 49 points in 50 games. Fiddler was dominant in all facets of the game, finishing as a +24, winning over 53% of his faceoffs, and even blocking double digit shots. Fiddler’s name isn’t thrown around like those elite players, but Fiddler’s play is elite. Congrats Tom!
This season, Osterman only put up middling offensive numbers after being a stud offensively the year before, but Osterman is the ultimate team player. He’s always there for the team, getting them hyped after a big win, or keeping their spirits up after tough losses, and is constantly a positive presence in the Colorado LR. Congrats Henrik!
Vanice led the Lions in scoring for most of the season, and played a dominant two-way game, as he finished a +24, and only took 18 PIMS. Besides using his play as an example for the young Lions, Vanice is also a great person off the ice in the locker room, Vanice although a late addition to the Lions, has been one of their best and most active players since. Congrats Thomas!

As a Lightning fan, I have no idea what series you're talking about.

Oof, at least this year you guys will avoid that tough Blue Jackets team! Cooper out here playing 4d chess, cant play Columbus if you dont win the division!
This award had some of the closest voting of all the awards, with all three players having valid arguments on why they should be this season's Most Underrated player.
We head back over to @DaftRaincloud who I guess is currently ransacking a broken-into Anchorage Best Buy copping that new Apple Watch for free! Daft, we're live you know!

Congrats Venables! S50 gang represent!
This year's nominations for the Zach Miller Trophy - Most Dedicated Player are:
@thiefofcheese - Ivan Maximus (ANA)
Thiefofcheese is one of the more active people in discord servers, as well as on the site. One of the top commenters, people also have fun interacting with thief, thanks to his positive personality, nobody has any bad things to say about Ivan. Thief has a couple jobs that help keep the site fun and engaging, and the site wouldnt be the same without him.
@artermis - Cyril Vyskoc (ANC)
Artermis is nominated in part because of his work in hosting the New Year's SHL stream. At a time where engagement was very low overall on the site and people were enjoying themselves less and less, Arty did a great job in giving people without New Year's plans something fun to do and people to spend it with. It was a blast and everyone who participated enjoyed themselves, so Arty, have this nom for your work in organization and planning the event.
@CementHands - Karl Krashwagen (HFX)
Krashwagen was one of the SMJHL interns this season, which is always a job that requires a fair bit of dedication, but he also wrote four articles about his SMJHL team over the course of the season, showing a lot of commitment to both his team and the site as a whole.
@thiefofcheese and Ivan Maximus! Congrats on winning another third place! Seeing as Russia has also robbed me of WJC Bronze and an IIHF Bronze, it seems like third place is your spot to be. Congrats thief, best of luck in the upcoming season!
Down to two. One senior citizen on the site in Arty, and a brand new S50 pup in Krash. Both with great claims to the Zach Miller Award, will we see the old guard or the new guard win?
This year's Zach Miller Award goes to - @CementHands - Karl Krashwagen (HFX).
With the Reddit draft occuring days ago, the work CementHands put in to get everybody approved and ready for the draft was not unnoticed, on top of also being active posting articles, commenting on fellow Raider articles, and being a positive locker room presence, Krash is a worthy recipient of this year's Zach Miller Award, and the site sure hopes his dedication to being a positive influence continues!
Congrats to @artermis for a great season as well! Everybody appreciates and respects the work you do to make this site a better, more positive place.
