2. As one half of the mentioned Webb/Winters duo, I like to think that I am uniquely qualified to speak on what makes it such a successful pairing. And that is that it isn't just a duo, it's actually a trio with Levin Schattenaxt. No one would argue that Webb and Winters have been more successful to this point in their career from a points perspective, but you know what? Before this season, Levin was the only one of the trio to have earned a season long award, having won the Dar as best two-way forward, even though he is often the forgotten part of that line for the Pride. They've been on a line as a group for almost their entire SHL careers, and that has definitely been demonstrated in their chemistry and their performances on a year to year basis. The Pride's S71 draft class has won a combined 18 Cups together if you add their later trades for Mercedes Bayle and Filip Svatos to the Webb/Winters/Schattenaxt group, and they've all be a critical part in making the current Pride run as one of the most dominant teams in SHL history and the first 3-peat in SHL history as well.

15. San Francisco yet again won the Challenge Cup this season to the delight of their players and their fans, becoming the first team in SHL history to complete a 3-peat. Tampa Bay gave them a good fight for the second straight season in the Finals, but the experience and offensive firepower of the Pride turned out to be too much in the end. While the Barracuda did a respectable job to slow down the Webb/Winters/Schattenaxt line, surviving that group simply meant that you had to survive the next two lines of former Mexico Award winners with Chris Valentine and Viktor Hargreeves, something that proved to be too much for the Barracuda.
