23) Present your argument for the playoffs MVP. Show their stats and impact on the games that they played.
I feel like in the ISFL only the offensive players get love so for playoffs MVP I'm giving it to Yellowknife LB and former teammate Douglas Quid. The LB made big contributions in every game, he had 2 sacks every game which by itself is an incredible achievement. To go along with his 6 sacks he racked up 24 tackles, 3 TFLs and a pass deflection. Quid was locked in during the playoffs and had a nose for the ball. While he had some teammates that make a strong argument for MVP nobody was as consistent as Douglas Quid. Considering most of the Wraith's games were defensive battles and not offensive shootouts it just shows how well he did at leading that stacked defense. In fact Douglas Quid won defensive player of the game in all 3 of the Wraith's playoff games, he really was a man on a mission and balled out.You can really see the impact on the games, consistent pass rush which is huge in today's high powered offensive game, along with being able to dissect the run game. Its really incredible how far he's come since being drafted, I always knew the talent was there but to see it unfold on biggest stage is great.

8) It’s always important to look forward to the future. Examine your team, and in 400 words or more, talk about how they can improve themselves to get a stab at trophy contention next year. Are you loaded with draft capital for the next draft? Do you have plenty of cap space to sign free agents? Go through the roster and note the different strengths and weaknesses, and how you think those will change over the next few seasons. How should your team adapt?
Looking up and down Honolulu's roster I would say that the defense is pretty set and we should turn our heads towards improving the offense. The Hahalua have some cap to spend but they also need to sign a K was their previous Kicker just opted to test free agency. They don't currently have a TE on the roster and starting QB Corvo Havran is a game manager who won;t win you any games but won't turn the ball over either. Starting RB Ruff RUff is a pend free agent and will be interesting to see if he stays around,if he doesn't then Honolulu will need to upgrade there. Defensively there is a giant hole at DE, but considering they have 2 outstanding DE's one can always slide to the inside if that's were management wants to go. The team could use someone to line up across the field from young stud CB Jim Waters. With having the 3rd pick in the draft Honolulu have a chance to draft an impact starter there or pick up someone who is close to competing after a year in the DSFL. There are few standout defensive line players in the upcoming draft and Honolulu would be smart to take advantage of that. Looking at the mock drafts at there, there really isn't a firm favorite at the number 3 pick. What helps Honolulu is that it's still a fairly young team that is constantly improving. They could use some veterans to help lead the locker room as most players are S19 or younger. I'd say the one area of the team that Honolulu is pretty set at is WR, Jed Podolak, William Alexander, and Jacoby Clay make up a solid core if management decides to air out the offenses a little more, but taking a QB in the 1st round is risky however as it's a very high TPE dependent position and usually the ones coming into the draft aren't ready to compete. That being said Honolulu already have a great QB prospect in Luke Skywalker, who could be called up to play this season. The Lefty QB is very smart with his passes and can accurately deliver them, his arm strength is good but could use some improving down the road. In conclusion if I has the GM I would be targeting DT, CB, and RB as my top needs, and when your picking 3rd you basically have your pick of whoever you want in the draft. With the expansion team going into it's 3rd season a few solid pick ups this offseason could lead them into the playoffs.
