9. Written, 50 to 200+ words. One Step Closer

After long last Minnesota managed to make their way to second round, but

 were not able to push further just yet. Since switching to FHM we have 

had multiple teams that have won the cup but there are still quite few 

teams that haven't been able to make it all the way. Baltimore, Calgary,

 Manhattan, Minnesota, Montreal, Tampa Bay and Toronto have not won the 

Challenge Cup during the FHM era, some have been close, but which one 

you think will be the next one to win and why do you pick them over the 

others?

I think Manhattan has what it takes. Yes, of course, obvious bias as I am on the team with a long term contract. My motivation is that MAN has been very close earlier when the team was at the peak. Two times in the finals BARELY not winning. Yes I am still in pain from those memories as my old player was part of it. The management has not changed and the team culture is even stronger, making it easier to attract and keep a bunch of strong earners together. The team is on the way back from a slump as a rebuild took place and when players start reaching their peak, which should start being soon-isch, the chances of a cup win are, in my opinion, quite good.

11. Written, 50 to 200+ words. One Season Closer to Retirement

One season behind all of us. How did your player perform compared to 

your expectations? What do you expect from next season? Are you being 

hit by regression so hard that anything close to this season's 

performance would be a win in your books? Or maybe you are reaching your

 peak, in either of the leagues and hope to compete for some awards?

Being called up one season early had me not expect too much for my rookie season but I still am very happy with the performance Niclas Sundqvist managed to put up! Next season I will probably break 1k TPE and look to invest even more in being a defensive giant. Still ways to go for my peak but I think that together with the rest of Manhattan improving a lot in TPE as well there is a chance that I can finally start putting up some positive +/-. I am very surprised at how well my GA/TA ratio is. Far above what I thought was possible for a rookie season and one of stats that I personally wanted to have success in with Sundqvist. Points were never my goal with this player so 23 in total with four goals is way above what I expected for my rookie season. Really looking forward to see where this build can take both me and Niclas Sundqvist.
