While they both are having great seasons, the most improved players should be Alex Andani of the Tampa Bay Barracuda. He is at a over point per game pace and has already passed his career high in point totals in his first season with the Cuda. It would be terrible to give the award to players that are retired as well.

"Tampa Bays 14-5 start should come as no surprise as they boast the most talented young line up in the East."
BS! Are you serious with that? Yeah, they'll be really good in a few years when their end-run around the entire league for draft capital in S47 pans out, but jesus christ this team is 100ccs of pure surprise and luck. Joseph Gagnier and Michael Owens on defense is a yikes, neither would even be 7th defensemen on some teams, let alone getting actual ice time. They're rolling Nolan Sawchuk on the top line a good 3 seasons early, they have a 3rd line center somehow coming close to leading the team in scoring, and even their 2nd defense pair is below standard but hasn't been fully exposed yet. Not to mention you can't even pin all the success on Benjamin Blue, one of the few guys on this team that has talent matching up to his role. Benjamin's just having an ok year (.917 save %, 2.80 GAA), and not carrying the team or anything.
The only explanation for this team is Game Sharks abounding, theres just no other way. In five years, yeah them being a great team would make sense if everyone pans out, but right now, they should be owning the basement suite currently rented out to Manhattan.

Against: While I believe that Manhattan is under preforming, I do not believe they can pull off that big of a comeback and secure a Playoff spot in the Eastern Division. (If they were in the Western Division, I believe they would have a chance.)

It's happening all over again. I think it was just a couple seasons ago when Minnesota's top line had one of the most impressive seasons the SHL had ever seen. Now they are once again putting on a show, though of course they are aided by being out on the ice a ridiculous amount of the time. If this "top heavy" strategy can continue to pay off remains to be seen, but I personally am a believer.

Kit Smeb, a fellow red bird Detroit Falcon SCREEEEEEEEEEEE-ER will win the rookie of the year award with no doubt. This kid has the silkiest hands and skates gracefully like a cheetah sprinting through the open plains. My boi smeb showed no mercy in the SMJHL and his call up was long awaited. Smebby will wreck havoc on the rookie class and position himself on top of the throw in true falcon fashion. We all know falcons look at people from a birds eye point of view, and what better way to mimic that point of view than on top of the rookie class.
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FOR.
Tampa Bay is obviously an up and coming team masterfully crafted by GM jss. He was hired to turn a failing franchise around and that's exactly what he's done by drafting young talent - and the leadership in the room from older teammates helps as well.

Nothing against Kit but I think Matt Kholin will eventually overtake Kit and end up as the top scorer which will nab him the rookie of the year award. Kholin plays over two minutes a game more than Kit (yo who can I talk to about getting some of these minutes y'all?) and as a team Tampa Bay currently has 15 more goals than Chicago. So I think ol @Kalakar wins it

Against. There is so much competition it might be hard to tell, but there are players in the rookie class that simply play more than he does and will probably pass him in the main attribute that will matter for forwards - scored points. In my opinion, the prime chance to snatch the award is in the hands of former SMJHL rookie of the season, Matt Kholin, simply because of him having more ice time on a team that scores more than Chicago does. There is a case to make for some others, but I think that Smeb isn't the main runner and if he wins, it's going to be quite a surprise.

I suppose it depends on your definition of being a dominant force. Are we talking people in charge, effective players, or popular folks as being the dominant force within the SHL? Could be the first two things, and if so, gg S39. I personally think the S46 draft class is pretty dominant and will continue to be so. Many of them have sent in applications for GM roles, HO, coaching positions, etc, and a couple have gotten them and continue to rise up the ladder, I'm talking about Flareon as someone in particular, and sure they are new and some will surely fall off the activity train eventually, but they remind me a lot of the S30 or 31 class, whichever one had like Zoone and tweeds in it originally, I can't recall. People who are super ready to get involved from the get-go and show us what they got. The point is, I don't pay attention to draft classes, but if you don't ring a bell to me, how dominant are you?

This is a bunch of BS. Every person in the league knows it's not true, and that the S34 draft class is still the dominating force of the league to this day without a shred of doubt.

While the Winnipeg Jets have been a bit of a surprise, jumping out to first in the Western Conference, they do have some great veteran players alongside some great youngsters with a ton of potential. As for the Hamilton Steelhawks, I did not expect them to be in the playoff hunt, let alone first in the Eastern Conference or the entire SHL. They lost quite a few players in the offseason and it is very surprising to see them atop the standings. Kudos to Hamilton for finding a way to prove a lot of people wrong but let’s wait and see if they can sustain that success for the remainder of the season.

BS! Hamilton is a great team that just had an off year last year. Plus, there is a grand conspiracy in the SHL to make sure the West Kendall Platoon are always in the hunt for the cup, which is a detriment to the other teams in the division.

So that should make him the best player to enter the SHL of all time, honestly. He's likely to just get the rookie scoring award automatically.
