S91 Rookie Race

[Will3 465]

The race for the S91 Rookie of Year is a intense one. Five players all fighting each other for the title. Each day sees changes to where the rookies stand. Each of these players have been exciting revelations for their teams. It is time to give each of these players the spotlight they deserve in current standing order.

 

Axel Gunner - 32 points @Steve

The massive Moscow Menace center is your current leader of all rookies in points. This member of the Greenland Gang currently has a fantastic fourteen goals and eighteen assist in thirty-four games. The fourth overall pick of S90 has lived up to the hype this season and with 631 TPE, he is the favorite to out pace everyone else and win the race by season's end. 

 

Maxim Anisimov - 31 points @McLovin

Fitting,the rookie one point behind Axel Gunner is the same player who drafted one pick later in S90. The Ukrainian right winger has done well playing for the relatively close to home Warsaw Predators. His twelve goals and nineteen assist result in Maxim being the best in points for the Predators so far. He should continue his relentless pursue of Axel in spite of a 57 TPE difference between the rivals.

 

Harry Callahan - 30 points @dstevensonjr

Following right behind is the standout rookie for the Toronto Legion. Spending a extra season in the VHLM has worked wonders for Harry. A Ronan Lavelle Trophy last season and thirteenth goal with seventeen assist thirty-five games into this season. The seventeen overall selection from S89 is starting to prove his worth and with 30 TPE more than the player ahead of him, he is as much of a solid contender as either of the players current ahead of him.

 

Shubham Anand - 27 points @Will3

The unstable road to get here has not slowed this player down. While he never got to play for the franchise that selected him thirteenth overall in S89, Shubham is still happy with his decision to stay down a season in the VHLE. The Indian born right winger has produced ten goals and seventeen assist in thirty-five games for the Riga Reign. With the support of a solid team and about 10 TPE more than than Maxim Anisimov, Shubham is far from out of this race.

 

Severus Targaryen - 27 points @Banackock

It is only fitting to conclude this list with a second member if the Greenland Gang. The Seattle Bears center is putting together a great rookie campaign with twelve goals and fifteen assist in thirty-four games. The eleventh selection from S90 is definitely the dark horse in this race with under 500 TPE. That being said Severus has managed to keep pace with the leaders and unless something changes, he should continue to do so until the season is over.

 

The remainder of the season should be an exciting one for the league. Each new day should bring much fluctuation and any one of these men could win. It should be a thrilling finish. Feel free to Ssund off on predictions below. Good luck to all users involved and may the best man win.

Don`t forget about (S90) Ryan Artyomov @Enorama as he would be consider as well!! Big reason Chicago is where they are in the standings at the moment.

I am a little confused by this article as the statistical documentation does not line up.  For example it is noted that Axel Gunner has 32 points, which was probably correct when this article was written but then the client specific notes say he has (and I quote)

 

 fourteen goals and eighteen assist in thirty-four games

 

Last time I knew 14+8=22 not 32. I expect that this is a running review and that the author just forgot to update that one line as all the other player notes make sense. 

The nature and objective of the article is great and it has been well structured.  However this one oversight does detract from the overall quality.

 

I give this article a 7/10.  A little more focus on details and this would have been a great article.  Looking forward to how you review over the rest of the year.

As was also noted don't forget the goalie prospects, they can sneak in there and show they are worth more than a above average forward.
