Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

I feel like Barret McCarthy pretty much kept his usual stride this season compared to the last few. He lead the Manhattan Rage, a team he's been on over 10 seasons now, in sbot blocks yet again, and also had a solid 30+ point performance. Couple that with having both powerplay and penalty kill time, it seems pretty clear that McCarthy has been a steady workhorse for the Dage team for many seasons now. His only disappointment was he felt that he could contribute more on the takeaway side of the puck, but he also isn't going to complain too hard on another successful season overall. His only goal for next season is to really keep up the pace, keep earning, playing solid, and hopefully come away with another successful performance. Overall I'd say another successful season in the books.

This offseason will be extra exciting, as it features the rare expansion draft! Write about how you think the expansion draft will play out, either for one or both of the expansion teams or from an SHL team's perspective

I think its pretty safe to say there are a lot of good players, young and old, on the expansion draft market coming up. Its hard to tell what each team coming into the draft is thinking. Do you go youngnguns and grow? Do you focus on experience or TPE level? Or do you focus on activity in the LR? Its a difficult situation for any one person or team of people to be in, so its truly difficult to say where anyone goes. What is certain is that players like Cassius Darrow will absolutely find a new home, and whoever gets him will be lucky to have him. Meanwhile over a dozen young players will likely find themselves as teammates in a quick manner
