Saying goodbye to Jonathan Ori

[ROOKIE745 604]

Well it's been a little bit since DCD got eliminated from the playoffs which of course meant the end for my first forward player's career. It was definitely fun to be putting up tons of points this time around, I have to say anytime Ori was on a cold streak I didn't find it as frustrating as when I was a goalie, since usually if your having a bad game as goalie it's very possible your gonna loose the game, but at least as a forward (or blueliner) others can pick up your slack, if Ori wasn't scoring chances are others were. One of my goals with Ori was to test out the FA market and I did, it was definitely fun to be hearing from multiple GM's granted at the time I did this most were cap strapped so it wasn't the best timing but still fun. I got to play for one of the best GM's ever in @Banackockfor two seasons and I finally, finally got to play for the GM who brought me here, @Enorama.... only took 17 seasons haha. Career wise I'm pretty happy with where he ended up, 570 points in 576 games, 158 goals and 412 assists, that's pretty successful right? No player awards or championships but he was always brought value to the team, also good faceoff guy, usually sat around 60% if I recall right. Admittedly the only thing that is a bit of an eye sore to look at is his +\-, he ended is career as a -35 which I'm sure isn't the worst but as a top player it's not fun to see, part of it is the fact he joined a rebuilding team when he was still low TPE so ya he was gonna have a bad +\- but in the end he only had two seasons as a plus and one where he finished at a zero. He did get a lot of ice time as well so in some sense that doesn't help either but you can also make the argument the other way. Just one area where ya... I wish I put a bit more into defence but it's late now, career is done and I can bring that experience into my next player whenever I make 'em, thanks all for reading and see ya later.
