Protas named player of the week

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Snuck he and Strome on to my Fantasy League team after I had a couple of players not perform well early on. Protas's and McMichael's progression have been one of the stronger catalysts for Washington's dominance, this year.
 
He's my current favorite example of having a really good feeling about a prospect that you absolutely can't share with HF without getting scorned mercilessly. It was tough sledding on the team boards at times, no way was the hype train hitting the main ones, but to me the crazy thing isn't that he's capable of this, just that he actually went out and did it instead of making me look like a doofus.
 
If he had a single mean bone in his body this board wouldn't stop singing his praises, but because he doesn't hit, fight, or face wash guys in a scrum he has flown under the radar here for most of this season.
He's an incredibly talented gentle giant who is definitely the most improved player in the NHL this year... and signed at 3.375 million for the next four years after this one.
His wrist shot on breakaways appears to be nearly unstoppable and his defense is outstanding.
I can't wait to see him play with his little brother Ilya (who had another hat trick tonight with Windsor) on a line in the next few years.
