Registered Senior Member Code: The best juniors player in the world... Espen Knutsen Jr. of Detroit. FOR: Looking at stats alone, by leading the league in goals, Espen is a proven goal scorer besides proclaiming to be a pass-first center. he also maintains his league-leading production while consistently playing a minute less a game than most players that are chasing him, and he averages 4 minutes a night on a league-average Detroit Falcon's penalty kill, which puts him in the top 3 for PK minutes among the top 60 point scorers in the league. Recency bias aside, Espen is coming off a historic game where he scored 4 goals and 2 assists against a Kelowna team that has 11 capped players, the best single-game performance many league members have ever seen. Last but not least, to destroy any counter-argument, Espen does not rely on powerplay points any more than the other league-leaders, and his 4 even strength goals against Kelowna proves his strength during even strength hockey. Espen is making a good case for regular season MVP this season, with many pundits crediting him with lifting Detroit out of the basement this season with his strong two-way game and offensive vision. |
