Da Trifecta 1,902 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Rookie of the Year Race So far the rookie of the year race is is coming down to two players. The top two candidates are Kai Roberts of the HC Davos Dynamo and Pietro Maximoff of the Riga Reign. These are both different players as one plays center and the other is a left wing. Both of these young guys have played in all 49 games this year and have piled up some good stats on their resumes already. When it comes down to rookie of the year race though, what do you look for? Is it who has more points? Do you look for more hits? Is it who plays more? Would you say that it's who is more detrimental to their teams success? Quite frankly if you said any of these, you were right. The right answer is all of these. When looking at rookie of the year, you literally have to look at every single statistic for both players. I am going to go into a little detail about each of the statistics and who leads the category. Goals: Kai Roberts has 16 goals while Pietro Maximoff has 14. That isn't really much difference as Kai only has two more than Pietro. These numbers are close and it seems like they aren't really going to be separating anytime soon. Assists: Pietro has 28 and Kai has 27. Again close in numbers but the edge is given to Pietro as he has more of these. Points (total): Kai has 43 and Pietro has 43. Kai has one more in terms of points. Would you take the one who has more goals or who has more assists in this scenario? +/-: Kai has a -2 and Pietro has a -8. This favors Kai by a better number here. It seems like he has been hovering closer to 0 more than Pietro has been all season. PIM: Kai has 19 and Pietro has 2. This can be looked at either way. When looking at a two way forward, this favors Kai. If you are looking at who is on the ice more, this favors Pietro. Should a center be worried about high PIM's though? Hits: 46 is the number for Kai while Pietro has 23. Again when talking two way forwards, Kai wins here. Pietro doesn't. Is Kai trying to be a two way forward from the center spot or is he setting himself up for something else? HTT: Kai has taken 99 hits while Pietro has 76. It seems like Pietro has been trying to avoid hits altogether and this would classify him as the better skater in my opinion. Shots: 329 for Kai and 309 for Pietro. It seems like Kai has been shooting more for his team. Not sure how you would tie this number in but I would guess it would go with the shot percentage which is coming soon. Shot %: 4.86% Kai and 4.53% for Pietro. Kai has the better numbers when talking shooting percentage. Of course that could be attributed to his 20 more shots taken, but will that up his numbers in percentage by .33% that much? Shots Blocked: Kai 36, Pietro 21. Is this even a thing really for ROY race for forwards? MPG: Minutes per game for Kai is 27.39 and Pietro is 28.56. Kai has been putting up a little bit better numbers in less time. Will this help out his case? Right now I believe that Kai is slightly edging out the ROY competition but Pietro is closing in fast and could surpass him in no time. Right now it could be a toss up as this will go down to a vote and hopefully the ties to Kai's player agent doesn't hinder this vote. I wish Pietro Maximoff the best of luck in the rest of the season and look forward to award night. Honorable mention: Bogdan Podarok and his 32 points.

Toast 887 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If Pietro's pace continues after that line change surge, he'll win it. Poor start but the guy is putting up loads of points for us now.

Evans 305 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Review: Looks like a pretty close race at the moment, so I think whoever finishes stronger will win. Could be either player, but of course I'm going to pull for Maximoff <3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31403-claimedrookie-of-the-year-race-reviewed/#findComment-351318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
