Jinxing Gorlab: Jet Jaguar for (eventual) HoF

[Renomitsu 934]

Moscow, Russia - At this point, there are few in the impressive Season 66 draft class putting on more of a show than Jet Jaguar @gorlab. Drafted 10th overall, Jaguar was at the mercy of a league filled with star centers that forced him to the very bottom of the first round; as a result, the Moscow Menace earned themselves their first franchise star.

 

Just five seasons in, he's earned over 400 points in 360 games, including an impressive 90 point rookie campaign and a league-leading 97 points this season. What makes this even more notable is the shift towards league parity and overall deeper teams, including a Season 69 (nice) without a single 100 point scorer, the first since at least S59 (I mean, Podrick Cast had a 174 point season in S61 for goodness' sake). Perceptions of scoring - especially for this generation of players - will need to be rescaled, with Jaguar likely setting the standard for great scorers of the post-S65 era.

 

The Ukrainian center has had his best season to-date and shows no sign of slowing down, especially as part of a ridiculous 250-goal Moscow team. Adding a bit of hardware to his trophy case will need to be the next step on his path, but thus far he's been as impressive statistically as any in spite of being in the same class as Vancouver standouts Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Julius Freeman.

All the karma from trying to jinx everybody besides myself into not achieving their sim league goal can't come back to me, right?
