(S39) RW - Milos Denis 

Position: Right Wing

Birthplace: Presov, Slovakia

Jersey Number: 89
Height (inches): 68 inches
Weight (lbs.): 153 lbs

Final TPE: 594

Drafted: 7th OA by New York Americans

Member: @Tyler

 

 

The first player in my SPHoF will be a player who perhaps was too underweight for the hockey game. But despite of his lightweight body, not only he managed to avoid much hits, he also was a solid offensive threat. He came from a notable Tyler's player agency that already produced a couple of solid players in past. However, their last player, Tyler Owens was a disappointment so it was on Milos to restore his agency reputation. 

 

 

Early days in New York (S39-41)

 

Regular season:

S39(NYA) 72GP |  6G - 15A - 21P | +53 |  77SHT | 3GWG |  4PIM |  4HIT |  5SB
S40(NYA) 72GP | 13G - 14A - 27P | +48 |  91SHT | 5GWG |  4PIM |  7HIT | 25SB
S41(NYA) 72GP | 27G - 40A - 67P | +54 | 218SHT | 3GWG | 10PIM | 20HIT | 24SB

Playoffs: 

S39(NYA) 10GP |  1G -  4A -  5P |  +8 | 20SHT | 1GWG | 0PIM | 2HIT | 0SB
S40(NYA) 10GP |  3G -  2A -  5P |  -4 | 25SHT | 1GWG | 0PIM | 0HIT | 6SB
S41(NYA) 12GP |  5G -  4A -  9P |  +3 | 50SHT | 2GWG | 0PIM | 3HIT | 6SB

 

He was drafted 7th overall by the Americans team. They came out fresh from last NA conference finals loss and with three first round picks. Unfortunately for them, only Denis could make an impact on this team as he was only player who was working on the practice ring. The first two seasons weren't spectacular as he was a bottom six player, but he also could add an important trophies to his shelf, such as two Victory Cups, two Marlow-Marta trophies and one Continental Cup. He also is known as the man who scored the GWG in S39 finals Game 5 so you can tell his career started in a right way. S41 was even more successful season for Slovak player. He would improve his performance from 27 to 67 points and he also was better in playoffs. His team would win another Victory, Marta and Continental cups. Unfortunately for Milos, it would be his last CC. 

 

 

Peak years, Quebec (S42-44)

 

Regular season:

S42(QUE) 72GP | 32G - 60A - 92P | +47 | 386SHT | 5GWG | 10PIM | 11HIT | 12SB
S43(QUE) 72GP | 30G - 44A - 74P | +38 | 388SHT | 8GWG |  2PIM | 32HIT | 25SB
S44(QUE) 72GP | 43G - 53A - 96P | +62 | 385SHT | 6GWG |  4PIM | 12HIT | 34SB

 

Playoffs:

S42(QUE) 12GP |  2G -  7A -  9P |  -1 | 44SHT | 0GWG | 0PIM | 1HIT | 1SB
S43(QUE)  5GP |  1G -  2A -  3P |  -3 | 21SHT | 0GWG | 0PIM | 1HIT | 3SB
S44(QUE)  5GP |  1G -  0A -  1P |  -5 | 14SHT | 0GWG | 0PIM | 0HIT | 1SB

 

After three rookie years in NY the Slovak has decided to join Quebec. This team was on comeup so he came in at the right time for the Canadian team. In Quebec Milos was enjoying his best career years. He posted two 90+ point years and another solid year in between. Even better thing was his he could add another Victory and Marta trophies to his trophy shelf for the fourth season in a row. However, the S42 finals was the best performance from Quebec as they couldn't overtake the Cinderella story of S43 Seattle and then a depth team Calgary in S44. His playoff performance still wasn't very spectacular as he couldn't crack the 1 PPG mark and his ''minus'' rating was showing his lack of defence. 

 

 

The beginning of the end (S45, Riga)

 

Regular season:

S45(RIG) 72GP | 25G - 35A - 60P | +22 | 277SHT | 2GWG | 26PIM | 13HIT | 29SB

 

Playoffs:

S45(RIG)  4GP |  0G -  2A -  2P |  -2 | 15SHT | 0GWG | 2PIM | 1HIT | 0SB

 

Quebec's playoff run was over and that means Milos had to move on from Canada. This time, he didn't even chose his destination as he was traded to Latvia alongside with Thomassen. Riga would finish second in conference and Denis was one of notable contributors, although his point number dipped from 96 to 60 points. But the age was catching him up and that reflected on his performance. Unfortunately for Riga, they were ousted by Davos in 4 games (to think, Tyler is a Davos GM now lol). Milos also didn't show his best as he mustered up a mere 2 points and minus 2 rating. 

 

 

A strong finish (S46, Calgary)

 

Regular season:

S46(CGY) 72GP | 30G - 49A - 79P | +36 | 387SHT | 7GWG | 32PIM | 79HIT | 43SB

 

Playoffs:

S46(CAL) 14GP | 10G - 12A - 22P | +15 | 81SHT | 1GWG | 0PIM | 1HIT | 4SB

 

After a disappointing ending in Riga, Milos once again went to FA. After some talks he decided to chose Calgary as his last team. The Wranglers still were capable of taking the championship as they showed to whole VHL when they beat Milos' first team in NA conference finals to reach the championship series. Their playoff run, however ended fast - Helsinki would finish final series in 5 games. Despite of that, Milos enjoyed his career best in playoffs as he amassed 22 points in 14 games. He also would finish his career with a bang - he won the playoff MVP award (Kanou Trophy) and even a controversy that was surrounding the voting for this award couldn't screw up his moment.

Milos Denis = Tier 2 player. His award cabinet is very solid, not every player could brag about so much awards like Milos can. Yes, there are better players who will be my SPHoF Tier 3 players and he's not a career 1 PPG player. But regardless of that, he was a very solid offensive threat in his peak years and he could finish his career with a personal award. Looking at his awards and stats you can say that the Slovak forward was enjoying his career. And to think, he managed to have this career depsite of his lightweight body which is even more impressive. And maybe others have forgotten about this player, but I'm coming to rescue him. From now, he will be the first inductee of my S.nubbed Players Hall of Fame.

Review:

Yeah, it's always done in inches. I usually use a converter that does feet to inches, although sometimes I know people just write the footage instead because the person who creates them in the sim can convert it as well.

 

 

Also, Denis was a great player. One of my favourites to play alongside Travis Boychuk who was my first player.
