Secret update time! Prior to the playoffs starting, the rookies all took it upon themselves to continue their conditioning and turn themselves into the best playoff beats they could muster. Taking a look at how they are all stacking up in comparison to the last analysis, we'll see who put themselves ahead of the pack, and who's dropped off the radar a bit. I'll try to be in depth again, but this article is more just for an extra bit of fun than the previous two breakdowns. If anyone needs a refresher here's the link to part 2.

Without further ado, here's the numbers! Keep in mind there are a fair few less equal standings at this stage, so some rankings appear slightly inflated because of it.

1. Mika Mayfield

273 to 285

Rank (-)

Maintaining her spot at the top of the charts despite a push from Selich, Mayfield holds on with just a 3 TPE advantage. Normally a 12 TPE gain would be massive, but when you are at the top of your game it's hard work to stay there. The gap at the top is tightening indeed!

2. Alexander Selich

259 to 282

Rank +1

With a massive push of 23 TPE, Alexander has heated up the race in the S45 SHL Draft, and no doubt boosted his team's confidence for their playoff run. Well done!

3. Andreas Kvalheim

258 to 277

Rank +1

Tied for equal 4th last time, Andreas got the win over Lockhart this time, with an impressive 19 TPE gain, and locking in third place comfortably.

4. Leopold Lockhart

258 to 273

Rank (-)

15 TPE wasn't enough to stop Andreas, and Leopold will have to settle for 4th again this time around. A great boost for the Armada regardless.

5. Konstantin Voloshin

248 to 272

Rank +1

With a monstrous 24 TPE gained in the lead up to the playoffs, it's no surprise Konstantin snuck up a spot in the top 5. Colorado will be beaming.

6. Samuel Jalopski

262 to 267

Rank -4

An unfortunate slip for Jalopski, only managing to claim 5 TPE for the run in, and dropping 4 places because of it. 267 is still nothing to scoff at though.

7. Maxime Bouchard

250 to 266

Rank -2

Gained 16 TPE and still fell 2 spots, Maxime will be considering what else he could have possibly done better to keep up.

8. Cassius Darrow

248 to 262

Rank -2

Like Maxime, made a solid 14 TPE in preparation but still managed to fall 2 spots. No room for error at the top it seems.

9. Slip McScruff

243 to 259

Rank -1

16 TPE in the bank and held his position solidly (keep in mind there was a tie for fourth before), Slip can feel the 260 barrier just waiting to be broken.

10. Vegeta Muerto

241 to 253

Rank -1

Like others, fell down but only due to equal point sharing. 12 TPE gained for a decent week.

11. Hiro Fujikawa

247 to 252

Rank -4

Only doing the weekly's isn't enough to keep you amongst the elite and Hiro found that out the hard way this week. 5 TPE is a nice addition to some stats, but not enough to keep you in the top 10 it seems.

12. Sanyi Kocsis

238 to 251

Rank -1

13 is unlucky for some, but it kept Sanyi cosy at rank 12. Unfortunately not in a playoff spot, but will no doubt be training just as hard for the next season.

13. Dominic Montgomery

247 to 247

Rank -6

Like Hiro, fell hard from a lofty height with no training at all to speak of. Halifax will be trying hard to get him back in the saddle no doubt.

14. Donnie Dicks

237 to 246

Rank -2

9 TPE gained for a decent earning, but some others got lucky and slipped above him in the rankings because of equal splits. Will be waiting for the playoff bracket to start with baited breath.

15. Arsene Arsenich

239 to 244

Rank -5

Another weekly earner, Arsene will need to try harder to keep up with the pack if he wants to be noticed amongst the rest.

16. Nolan Sawchuk

234 to 243

Rank -2

9 TPE like Dicks to maintain position in the pack, will be working hard this break to make up for minor miss outs like this season.

16. Griffith Calwalader

243 to 243

Rank -8

Huge fall in the rankings for Griffith. No gains at all, not even a weekly AC? Must have taken the week off to go to Barbados or something. Wait, Montreal are in the playoffs? Uh oh.

17. William Goose

239 to 239

Rank -7

Another huge drop, and for another playoff team no less. No show to the site for a weekly check in, and I can only imagine the Vancouver locker room after the coach found out William was in the corner on Tinder instead of doing squats (hypothetical but very realistic none the less).

18. Andy Kerr

235 to 235

Rank -5

3 ranks dropped due to equal places being moved out, but that doesn't excuse no activity. Disappointing from all of these three. Anchorage will be laughing all the way to the next round at this rate.

19. Zivan Zedek

226 to 233

Rank -4

Finally an active player! Excuse 3 of those drops to the old standings, but it just wasn't enough to catch those ahead of him. 7 TPE isn't much though, so not too surprising.

20. Jakub Novak

217 to 226

Rank -4

A good 9 TPE but like Zidan just not enough. I can't believe those other guys did nothing this week and managed to stay above these other guys.

21. Kenji Yoshimura

215 to 224

Rank -4

Keeps up the pace with Jakub at 9 TPE earned, but made no ground otherwise.

22. Jimmy Cahill

200 to 205

Weekly check in done, solidified last place over the others who abandoned the site. Much better than nothing though.

Desmond Carey, Guy McCool, Cash Considerations, Marshal Ray, Ivars Ozols have all been removed from this list for being inactive.

Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone in the playoffs!

I am just examining the draft class, all free agents (and inactives) have been excluded.
