This reality is just one of infinite realities existing alongside this one in parallel. Take us over to one of those realities in which everything is the same but these S52 playoffs have unfolded differently. What happened in that reality's playoffs and who's in the Challenge Cup over there?

In this reality CC2 and the Syndicate were eliminated BUT IN THIS ALTERNATE TIMELINE? Chicago get past Manhattan by beating them in game 7 as the coach decides to not put Carter on the bottom two lines and matches him head to head with the best to maximize the offense. We push over Buffalo and run them over from CC2's ridiculous physicality. Very few players can keep up with his 3 dimensional game and even Marius played terribly this run of a season and would have been terrorized by the Jodan of the SHL. Chicago then gets to the finals and fight a long hard battle through seven games which results in CC2 lifting the cup second after the captain and being awarded the Razov trophy for his exemplary play in the post-season, this results in his jersey being retired and the only active player to be inducted into the HOF because of his dominant performance.

By now, you're probably familiar with the attributes on FHM, and you likely have some sense of what type of build you're going to be aiming for with your player. What one attribute are you going to focus on most? Of all the attributes in the game, what is your player going to strive to be the absolute best at? Why are you picking that specific attribute above all others?

There are a variety of different options I have looked at and honestly? No clue. I want to make a player that I think of when CC2 comes to mind, not some min-maxing fiend like I see a bunch of these guys doing to twist the system. My full intention is to have a player that I can be proud of. Obviously physical peak performance would be interesting since I have always had CC2 be fast so he will maintain some of that, but I will knock him down a little due to older age so legs will be the first to go. I have to maintain his physicality, even though this will cost me any chance at the Dar. I need to keep my shot so that will be important, being able to actually score goals.

The Most Generic Prompt of All Time - what is your player looking forward to in the offseason? What are they planning on doing? Training? Relaxing? Testing free agency? Whatever it is, let us know!

CC2 is set to test free agency via player option but other than that, no clue. I would like to return to Chicago but I have to think about all these decisions I make as they may impact how I move in this new FHM world. My build is out for testing and will be released soon but there is a lot of unknown and uncertainty. I want to do well and succeed, but there will likely be changes to the Dar trophy and I may not be eligible any longer since my physicality will not amount to anything? I see a lot of these min-max builds and overall I am pretty concerned. CC2 is out here living his best live getting Dar Noms and all star discussions, people might even consider him MVP level but I fear the following season that may not be the case. Hitting regression means I need to be tentimes better and putting my best foot forward for training will help.

Which player from the Rage or the Pride would you bet on to win a regular season individual award in a future season? What player and what award? What makes you think they'll live up to their potential and take home the hardware?

Luke Thomason is the pretty straightforward answer here given that he has hit his stride to end STHS and with our move to FHM? Very few players will honestly stand in his way. He will win the best two way player in the league award since it will devolve into a situation where some weak, frail finesse player will get the nod due to takeaways and protecting the puck. With that one unfortunate thought out of the way I think Luke will have a good chance for the scoring title as well? He will be n the toughest division in hockey, and that is a problem in itself, but I expect him to feast on the rest and wreck them en route on a Mexico trophy. He will be the best player on the best team if all things work out.
