Aidan Richan is our next guest. The name Richan speaks loudly, and he is defiantly one of the best defensemen out there. The only problem is performance. He has had a hard time reaching his potential. he is known to be one of the best, and possibly the best, defenseman in the league when considering his abilities. He has had a solid season recently though, and we expect it to get much better in Season 8. We expect his defensive stats to be amongst the best in the league, and depending on his team’s production, he could reach a solid 20 to 30 points this season. We see him as a Norris nominee, and possible winner!

Offense but our defense is much improved this year, we also have one of the top goalies in Jesster.

Defense i guess
How do you feel about the line you're playing on?
Not sure who i will be playing with just yet
What do you think your role on the team is?
Puck moving defensemen who is also a beast in the defensive zone.

Richan looks to be celebrating more Ws this season
Can you give me a prediction of who will win the cup this year other then your team?
If the Chiefs can pick up a top pairing defensemen i think they will be strong favourites to win the cup, but right now between the Chiefs and Hawks.
If you were to compare yourself to an NHL player, who would you choose and why?
Weber. Good shot, makes some nice hits, plays like a beast in the defensive zone.
What about your team, what NHL team would you compare them too and why?
NY Rangers. I think our D is very underrated going into the year and we have excellent depth up front as well as a top goalie.
On the team you chose above, which player do you think you would be?
Dan Girardi
How do you feel about the Jets and their cup run?
They had our number all year long and I congratulate them on a job well done.
How good are their chances to repeat?
They could definitely do it no doubt about it.
Hawks cinderella run, proof that they are for real, or hot at the right time and why?
I think they are for real, Ray and Martucci built a good team. I'm curious to see how Rose does on the first line.
Toronto North Stars shots at the cup with all that's happened to them as of late?
They still have a very good roster, Maxy and hoggie are still both in the top 5 for most TPE.
Do you think the Calgary Dragons are better off with XDparK as GM and why?
We will see, D'Angelo was a great GM and I will be happy if I can do half as well as he did.
The Manhattan Rage lost some big pieces, how good or bad do you think they will be and why?
I think they will be a bubble team with the Platoon and Stars, should be fun to see what happens.
Minnesotta Chiefs went from finalists to missing the playoffs, what do you think are the major reasons, and which Chiefs team will show up this year?
I will be surprised if the Chiefs don't make the playoffs this year, I think they are a #1 defensemen away from winning the cup.
The LA Panthers lost some veterans, can they get back to their power house form, or are they near a re-build already and why?
A re-build wouldn't hurt but I still think they will make the playoffs this year.
Do you think Vancouver's troubles will improve now that they are in Las Vegas, why?
Troubles?
Will the Edmonton Comets finally get out of the basement and why?
Not this year, in my opinion this will be their final year missing the playoffs before becoming a dynasty like back in the day.
The West Kendall Platoon have had a transition season, and look completly different from two years ago. What do you think of the GMs' job, and how will they fair this season?
They had a good draft and signed a top player in Mortellaro as well as Gooseneck. Although they are overpaid they are still great players and I think Andersson is ready to step up and become that elite goaltender. I could see them finishing as high as 2nd in the East.

Leafs

Bobby Ryan
What position would you love to play but aren't good enough?
