The Donuts went into the season with high hopes as the player material suddenly felt pretty combatable. But that is what most GMs think at start of season.
Here is a retrospect of the regular season and some facts and awards.
The season ended with first place in the division and second overall after the Sudbury Miners. We trailed Miners by one point and was 17 points ahead of Fort Eire in the division. We had one mayor injury during the season to first line center Leon Draisatl who was out for 11 games. But the team more or less kept up the pace without him during the injury. Oscar Klefbom was also out for 6 games.
Significant trades where made during the season, which isn't very common for the franchise. Dough Hamilton and Alex Pietrangelo was added via trades during the season. Early in the season we could see that the defense needed a few pieces to match the offense on the team. Dough was mostly plugged into top pairing while Alex was put on second pairing.
The team strung together a six game long winning streak during the season, and the overall record was 82 56 20 6 118 (Gms-W-L-OTL-Pts)
Second line Center Elias Pettersson was top point player with 89 points in 82 games. One goal behind topscorer Elias Lindholm who had 39 goals in 82 games.
The management has spent some money on a new reward, the Golden Donut! It has the shape of a donut and is said to be made of pure gold.
This years winner is Elias Lindholm for his season in all aspects of the game. He had most goals on the team, played all games and most forward minutes, played on PK where his 3 short handed goals was top on team and third overall in the league.
A bit disappointment was first line center Leon Draisatl with only 23 goals and a 7% shot procent.
A follow up with follow over the playoffs, once the playoffs ends.
