SEASON 56 DRANK RANKINGS AND SCOUTING REPORTS

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the SHN Scouting Service Black Book. Scouting prospects for the SHL Entry Draft is an interesting art. As in reality, it is an enormously difficult one to perfect. It is, as the saying goes, an inexact science. However, with more time and experience come lessons, insights, and improvements. As a former General Manager, I know scouting for an SHL team is rarely a one man job. Such is the case here as well, and I am very thankful for the help I have received in formulating the idea, compiling the data, and analyzing the players for this draft guide.

Additionally, as someone who has made the final decision on draft night, my track record in some years may face scrutiny. I have missed on my share of picks. This draft guide is not held out to be definitive, fool-proof, or unblemished. It is, however, in my experience, the most in-depth look at a draft class that I have been involved with, and something that I hope will help evolve public and private draft analysis and scouting.

I hope that you enjoy this look at a very interesting draft class, and look forward to future editions of this publication. For the players enumerated within, I hope that our assessment of you rings true to some extent, and provides a reasonable summary of the work you have put into your player to now. Where that is not the case, may it serve as encouragement to prove us wrong.

This is, of course, a Reddit draft – albeit a unique one. As a result, there is a lot of competition for rankings, and in many instances very little separates an individual ranked even multiple spaces above or below their peer. It is also important to note that this is not a mock draft, and does not aim to predict at which spot each player will be selected. Rather, these rankings intend to capture the value each eligible prospect holds heading into the draft.

Those of you who are familiar with the biggest inspiration for this project – the HockeyProspect Black Book – will know that they present their rankings in the form of a draft board, mimicking that of an NHL team. These differ from rankings in that they do not include each eligible player, as some may not have been scouted or were but are considered “No Drafts”. Given the differences between our league and community and the NHL, we will not be following that model. Each prospect is ranked, and no “ND” grades are given.

A final note: many NHL team draft boards, and those of scouting publications like the NHL Black Book, have separate lists for skaters and goalies. That is not the case here - it was not deemed necessary, as this does not aim to be a 1:1 recreation of a true “draft board” format.

With that introduction out of the way, I hope you enjoy what follows. First, a few words on our methodology.

METHODOLOGY

Each draft-eligible player has been categorized by play style and evaluated and scored under four categories: TPE earning; money earning; site presence; and miscellaneous. These are the main areas that we look at when evaluating players, though they may not be exhaustive, and there may be some overlap.

The TPE and money totals included below are as recent as possible, although there was obviously some change – particularly in bank accounts – since the data was compiled. The TPE totals are the official totals after last weekends’ updates, but the bank accounts may in some instances be missing things like casino payouts.

Importantly, the ranking and final grade is not achieved through any formula or formal consideration of these scores. The scores help sort the range in which a prospect should fall in the rankings, certainly, and inform why a prospect is ranked where they are – but they are not ranked there as a direct consequence of the 0-6 rating they receive in any category. The final rankings involve considerations of objective, subjective, tangible, and intangible factors.

We have attempted to use objective ratings and tangible factors as much as possible, but as said in the introduction, scouting is an inexact science with many unquantifiable considerations. If a ranking is disagreeable to you, keep in mind the subjectivity at play.

The rating scale ranged from 0-6. The scores indicate, in order, that a player is: 0 – Deficient; 1 – Poor; 2 – Below Average; 3 – Average; 4 – Good; 5 – Very Good; and 6 – Elite.

Where possible, we have derived at least the players’ initial scores through quantifiable means. For example, in the “TPE Earning” category, the average TPE of the entire draft class was determined. Within a range of that average, a player is assigned a score of “3”, or “average”. Accordingly, within ranges above and below that level, players are scored higher or lower.

The same was done for the “Money Earning” category, although we did not use the true “average” there because it would be too heavily skewed by some players with enormous bank accounts which of course has diminishing returns. In that case, we took the median bank account for the draft class and scored a “3” or “average” within a range of that value. This may not be a perfect solution, but it works for our purposes as it still reflects where a prospect ranks within the draft class, without being disproportionately influenced by outlying data points.

However, the scores derived from these were not always final. We adjusted up or down based on other factors, such as earning rate for players who joined the draft class late, or the number of ways in which a prospect earns money, as someone who regularly writes media, produces graphics, and posts to Twitter has more earning potential than someone who only does one of the three. This is where some subjectivity influences the ratings.

The “Miscellaneous” category is a bit of a catch-all for things not captured in other categories. The primary quantifiable consideration under this category was past player quality. Rather than subjectively evaluating recreate quality, we took a weighted average of the TPE of each recreates’ most recent previous players, up to a maximum of their third-most-recent player. For users like JumpierPegasus or Wasty who have had more than 3 players, their earliest players from different eras were not considered. More recent players were weighed more heavily than older players, giving a better indication of the trend that user may be on. The scores from 0 to 6 were awarded in the same manner as outlined for other categories.

First generation players were given a baseline of “3” or “average”, with no previous players to judge.

As with the other categories, this formula gave us a baseline grade. We adjusted up or down for other factors, such as where we felt there was a reasonable explanation for the early retirement of a previous player with no sign of inactivity, or where a member’s reputation warranted either an increase or decrease in their rating, for example.

A non-exhaustive run-down of some of the factors considered under each category is provided below.

Finally, a word on the final grade. As mentioned earlier, these grades are not reached through any formula involving the ratings given in each category – though they are obviously more or less informed by those ratings. For grading purposes, we have simply modified the grading used in our inspiration publication. An “A” grade is a Round 1 prospect, a “B” grade is a Round 2 prospect, and a “C” grade falls somewhere in the rounds below.

Obviously not all “A” prospects are made equal – some may be guaranteed franchise players, while others are simply a good bet. The same can be said for the 0-6 rating scale. Equally, there is certainly no consistency to the size of the “gap” between players – the gap between plays ranked one after the other could be essentially nonexistent (as it is in several cases), or it could be insurmountable.

With all of that explanation out of the way, we are ready to get into the meat of this draft guide.

Below is our final Season 56 draft rankings, in a concise, easily readable list. Following that are in-depth profiles on a number of the prospects available in the draft, with insights from scouts and some elaboration on their ratings, grades, and placement in the final rankings.

Enjoy!

SEASON 56 SHL ENTRY DRAFT PROSPECT SCOUTING PROFILES

[Image: unknown.png]

Essentially a latecomer to the party, it was assumed that Vili Afalava was a guaranteed pick for the Los Angeles Panthers only days ago. With the Tongan now available to every team in the league, things have gotten a lot more interesting.

Afalava is the definition of defensive defenceman. His ability to read the game defensively in conjunction with his physicality, positioning, stickchecking, and willingness to block shots is unparalleled in the draft – but that’s about all he has to offer at the moment. His offensive potential is severely limited, which obviously hampers his value, but he will always have a role on any penalty kill in the league.

Like many others in the draft, Afalava is a notoriously difficult player to rank – though he’d be even more difficult to place in a mock. Wasty has undeniably high stock as a member in the league, but with GMs learning only days before the draft that he’d even be available, he’s potentially turned the draft on its head. His past successes, wealth of experience, and otherworldly bank account are impossible to ignore. So too are his relatively low TPE number compared to the upper-end of this draft, as well as the questions surrounding his long-term commitment to the site after stepping down after literal years at the helm of the Los Angeles Panthers. Where Wasty winds up will depend entirely on how much weigh GMs assign to each of those factors. He just might be the player with the widest range of potential draft positions – there’s really no round it would be a surprise to see him taken in.

Quote:“The announcement that [Wasty] was stepping down from management and sending [Afalava] into the Entry Draft caused everyone to scramble. Afalava has been honest to expect a solid work level but nothing above and beyond. It will be interesting to see if the agent value outweighs the player value here.” – SHL Scout

One of the most difficult players to get a consensus opinion on, Bane is a bit of an enigma heading into the SHL Entry Draft. Not because he is an unknown commodity – member Winter is Coming is well known around the league. This iteration, though, is about as “boom-or-bust” as the draft gets. There’s no question Bane has the potential to become one of the premier players out of this draft class. The trouble for a lot of scouts, and certainly teams, is that we’ve heard that song and dance before.

On the ice, Bane is an imposing physical presence. Standing at 6’4” and weighing 225 lbs, Bane has the ability to punish opposing forwards who dare attack his side of the ice with physical play that is extremely painful… for them. To this point in his career, Bane has primarily focused on the defensive side of his game, with a solid all-around game in his own zone.

There’s no true weakness to Bane’s game, at least considering his age. Offensively he makes a great break-out pass and could quarterback a power play, although he does not project to be a great point shot. He is a great skater for his size, which is a benefit to him on both ends of the ice.

When it comes to development, Bane has been up there with the top players in the draft. Winter is Coming has been earning TPE at an elite level, and stands to gain some ground on some of his competition as he is currently positioned to gain from his fantasy league performance at the time of writing. WiC has also amassed a substantial bank account, so if this player falls by the wayside it won’t be due to a lack of funds for training.

The concern with this player is whether his ceiling is as high as his peers. While there is a sense that Bane is probably as good as anyone in the draft right now, he may not have much room for improvement. Out of 34 recorded recreates eligible for this draft, very few have a worse track record than WiC under our weighted average formula. His most recent player – Cody, created in S49 – did not live up to expectations. Before that, Conor McGregor – an S40 create – reached 862 TPE. Though not a total to scoff at, in the modern league many SHL rookies debut at that level. It’s not where you’d expect one of the TPE leaders entering the draft to plateau.

Winter is Coming will, however, add a lot of site experience to whichever team drafts him. Among his past titles were brief stints as a General Manager of the Toronto North Stars and as SMJHL Commissioner, so WiC undoubtedly knows his way around the league.

If Bane does indeed go late in the coming draft, it won’t be the first time. The Nevada Battleborn selected Bane 54th overall in the fifth round of the SMJHL Entry Draft. He would, of course, go on to vastly outperform his draft position – but that’s something much easier to do at the junior level with only a season’s worth of commitment required. That fall down the board on draft day certainly illustrates that concerns about Winter is Coming’s ability to stick with a player consistently remain ever-present, and may haunt him on draft day.

Whether that is a big concern to Bane or not remains to be seen. While it won’t do much for his ego if it comes to fruition, it may actually be a boost for his long-term success. Not only does it offer the opportunity to finally prove doubters wrong – it may see him wind up on a stronger team than he might otherwise at his TPE level.

Quote:“I guess he looks as good as he ever has right now but the track record is too risky.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“WiC might make teams look silly for passing on him, but I feel like we say that about him every time.” – SHL Scout

Among the most highly-rated first-generation players in this draft class, it comes as no surprise that Kyamprac’s Sarah Burke was also one of the first taken in the S55 SMJHL Entry Draft. Going off the board at the beginning of the second round, 13th-overall to the Vancouver Whalers, Burke has offered an incredible return on investment.

On the ice, Burke is a very reliable defender in her own end with plenty of untapped offensive potential. Scouts love that Burke’s game starts with the essentials for a defender – sound positioning, an active stick, and the ability to separate forwards from the puck using the body. Burke’s shot blocking could be better, but it doesn’t stand out as a weakness.

However, it’s the offensive upside that has Burke’s name in the discussion to go very early in this draft. She makes a great breakout pass, and is also capable of holding onto the puck and maintaining possession herself. Her shot isn’t much of a threat, and that may be something coaches have her work on in coming seasons. The biggest weakness in Burke’s game is her strength – or lack thereof - which is a concern for a defender tasked with keeping forwards out of her crease.

A first-generation user, Kyamprac comes to the SHL with a wealth of sim league experience elsewhere, which has certainly allowed her to hit the ground running with this player. With a reputation as a great TPE earner in the ISFL, where she is also an important contributor to the league as a member of the PT Team, Kyamprac’s sim league history helps elevate her draft stock. While first generation users often find it difficult to overcome the disparity in bank accounts with recreates, Kya has begun to build up a small surplus thanks to the regular submission of graphics.

[Image: unknown.png]

The first of back-to-back first-generation picks by the Vancouver Whalers, Russian right winger KnockedOut ByOvechkin was drafted 12th-overall, at the tail end of the first round. Like Kyamprac, who was drafted immediately following, user ddrector comes with a fair deal more fanfare than your average first-gen due to his success and reputation in the International Simulation Football League.

Classified above as a playmaker due to it being his most suitable role in the sim engine, ByOvechkin may more appropriately be considered a balanced offensive threat. Without a true stand-out attribute, ByOvechkin has the ability to fit into any role required by the team that drafts him, and will be an easily moldable player as a result.

It was a bit of a tough season for ByOvechkin, who played fourth-line minutes on a Vancouver Whalers team that finished last in the North West division. While he wasn’t a world beater offensively, the effort he put in every night was on full display all season. A player with speed to burn, a willingness to get into dirty areas and throw his weight around, and a sneaky-accurate shot he simply hasn’t had much of an opportunity to use, ByOvechkin might be the most likely candidate for a surprise breakout season in S56.

One of the top TPE earners in his draft class, ddrector has build up a small surplus in his bank account but not enough to overcome some of those ranked above him. A first-round pick in the SMJHL, ddrector’s stock has only risen since then, so he should expect to hear his name called quite early this weekend.

Dee Centerman IV is as appropriately named as they come: were it not for the English pivot’s excellence in the faceoff circle, he might just have been a blueliner. Centerman IV, instead, lines up at centre ice in a responsible defensive role which certainly separates him from many of the other high-end forwards available in the draft.

Centerman is a sizeable forward with the ability to throw his weight around on both the forecheck and backcheck. His positioning and knack for reading the game are highlights, and he is often able to breakup plays with his active stick. These attributes are why he featured not only in the Whalers’ top six – which had more to do with a lack of depth in Vancouver – but also on their first penalty killing unit. While he has obvious problems converting on his chances, Centerman did prove to be a reliable possession driver at least compared to the rest of his team, with a positive +2.0 CF% Rel (though his possession metrics generally were still sub-50).

The role Centerman plays guarantees him a high floor at the SHL level, which has scouts interested. The trouble, as always with these types of players, is how high their ceiling might be. Centerman kept pace with the middle of the pack in terms of rookie production in the juniors, but his offensive game is severely lacking and there is a fear that that will hold him back. If Centerman goes high in this draft, it will be to a team who has identified a clear need for this type of player – not necessarily because they believe he will move the needle offensively more than the next guy down their list.

This is the second player from grok following the retirement of S50 Mike Honcho Award winner Cedric Robinson. With Robinson, grok created a solid goaltender who played a bit above his TPE-level, which brings his recreate value down a bit more than some might expect. Still, there’s no reason to believe he won’t turn Centerman IV into a very good SHL player given his performance thus far, and the bank account he has built up over the seasons. A member who is often active around the boards including in the media and suggestion box sections, grok would be a great fit on many teams and offers a player that may fill a needed role around the league.

Grape Fruit, the winger from Raleigh, managed a pretty impressive 19-point rookie season despite playing fairly limited minutes on the fourth line of his home-town Carolina Kraken. It wasn’t easy for Fruit to attract attention on the Kraken, who are chock-full of elite talent, but he managed to do so night-in and night-out thanks to his excellent passing and puckhandling abilities. Though his shot is a bit suspect, Fruit makes up for it in other areas, and projects as a speedy top-six winger in the SHL.

Canes2113 is another fresh Reddit recruit who has surged up the rankings over the course of the season after being drafted 46th-overall in the SMJHL. A member who has been building a small stockpile of cash with consistent Twitter activity and a bit of media, Canes seems to be integrating well into the site and finds himself ranked above several quality recreates as a result of his efforts.

Quote:“Canes is a quiet guy, but he’s really starting to hit his stride in the league.” – SHL Scout

Coming from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Grandmaster Funk is a mobile defenceman with a great outlet pass to get the offence moving. With just 9 points this season, it wasn’t exactly a prolific year for the rookie. That being said, Nevada was a very young team that will surely take a giant leap forward next year, which makes Funk one to keep your eye on.

Featuring on the second pair on a youthful Battle Born defensive corps, Funk is a solid two-way player. With his only real stand-out skill being his passing ability, he also has no weaknesses to speak of. He plays a well-rounded game that, if it continues to progress evenly the way it has, will translate quite well to the pro level.

Funk is another first-generation defenceman – one of many in the draft class – recruited through Reddit. Falling all the way to 56th in the SMJHL draft, Nevada has already gotten a fantastic return on their investment in the blueliner, whose activity around the forums saw him make a substantial rise from his pre-season draft stock.
[Image: unknown.png]

An impressive mix of speed and size, Evangelos Giannopoulos might be the player with the most defensive upside in the draft. After being selected sixth-overall by the Detroit Falcons, Giannopoulos went on to have a fairly quiet rookie season – and that’s a good thing for a player of his style. While teams picking at the top of the draft might be turned off by his lack of offensive tools, this player is as reliable as they come and projects to be a certified minute-eater at the SHL level.

Hailing from Laval, Quebec, Giannopoulos has elite defensive awareness. In the way that the great scorers are able to see what’s going to unfold before it happens, Giannopoulos seems able to always predict what opposing forwards have in mind. He is an absolute nightmare to try and score against because he is seldom caught out of position, and on the rare occasion when that does happen he has the speed to correct his mistake immediately.

Giannopoulos’ offensive talents are a bit suspect, although they’re fine at the junior level. With proper development there’s not too much cause for concern, but he’s unlikely to ever be one of the top scoring defencemen in the SHL. Luckily, there’s enough to like about his game that that’s not really a problem.

In considering where to place Giannopoulos, the endless supply of money JSS has at his disposal is impossible to ignore. He also scores very well in terms of recreate quality, with Flacko Lagerfield amassing over 1800 TPE. JSS does have some history dating back before Lagerfield, with two players who earned less than 200 TPE, but those seem to be the outliers – since fully buying into the league, JSS has been on another level.

A member who will also add management experience to his new locker room – having served as Tampa Bay Barracuda GM from S45 to S51 – JSS will be a boost to whichever team drafts him both on- and off-ice.

Quote:“Lagerfield was so good. I think he’ll do it again.” – SHL Scout
[Image: unknown.png]

One of the more intriguing stories to follow throughout the season and on draft night itself, Raivo Helminen finds himself ranked far below his skill level. This is the classic case of a high-potential player with attitude issues that will have certainly turned at least some SHL teams off entirely. Helminen is doubtlessly on a “no draft” list or two around the league, and the hit his reputation has taken recently hasn’t just dropped his placement on mock drafts, but it actually lowers his stock, as some players may simply refuse to play alongside him.

Of course, there’s always (well, usually) teams willing to offer forgiveness when a good opportunity presents itself. If there is such a team, Helminen could be a good fit, and it’s hard to argue he’d be bad value further down the draft. As long as it doesn’t cause any great disruption in the locker room, Helminen has obvious potential on the ice. He has a very accurate shot and makes good use of his body in front of the net.

Anything Helminen offers on the ice, though, is clearly overshadowed by the off-ice incidents jRuutu has been involved in over the past few months. A tough player to rank because of that, we’ll have to wait and see if he can overcome the negative reputation he’s built for himself.

It should be said that jRuutu has apologized for the incidents and there’s definitely a hope that his growth is sincere. Helminen could go much higher than this ranking if a team trusts it was, but it’s impossible to ignore the long memory most members of the site have when crafting these rankings.

An extraordinary passer, Calvin Hobbes has nearly unrivaled vision when carrying the puck, making him a very enticing prospect toward the latter-half of the first round or very early second. The Swede is a 200-foot player who will be easily moldable for whichever team drafts him which is always a positive thing – particularly for a first-gen.

Hobbes’ strengths lie primarily in his ability to read the game offensively and dish the puck off to the best option. He doesn’t utilize his shot very much and can sometimes be too generous with the puck, but that can be worked on. He has invested a lot of time into winning draws in the face-off circle, and measures up well in every physical category. He struggles to find open ice, however, which limits his usefulness as it can be difficult to get him the puck in the heat of the action.

An impressive freshman user coming in as part of the Reddit class, krazko has been plenty active around the forums, building up a name for himself and earning money to ensure he’ll be able to keep up with some of the top-earners in the class.

The highest-ranked first generation player on our list, Jonas Kahnwald quickly became a key piece of the Newfoundland Berserkers’ Four Star Cup winning squad. Despite playing bottom pair minutes on a stacked defensive corps, the Leipzig native managed to record 15 points on the year in addition to 7 throughout the playoffs, offering the type of secondary scoring that helped propel the team to both regular and post-season championships.

It may come as something of a surprise that Kahnwald is ranked this highly, as he can best be described as an “undersized” defender. At only 5’8” and 175 lbs, there will be SHL scouts with reservations about his ability to play the game against men, especially when tasked with clearing the front of his net. However, hockey is changing and a premium is placed on speed, skill, and smarts, each of which Kahnwald has in spades.

Kahnwald excels at getting open for passes, whether it be to help out a defensive partner under pressure or to create a scoring opportunity in the offensive zone. That illustrates why he’s been used as “quarterback” of sorts in Newfoundland this season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him on one of the Berserkers’ main power play units next year. There are no weaknesses in Kahnwald’s offensive game, and he projects as perhaps the premier offensive defenceman in this draft class.

While there may be concerns about his defensive acumen, Kahnwald has been on a mission to prove that they’re unfounded. Though he may not be the most aggressive or ruthless hitter in the game, he actually does have a tremendous ability to use his body to break up plays. He reads the game exceptionally well defensively, and is always willing to get into the dirty areas to retrieve a puck even against players far out of his weight class.

The type of enthusiastic first-gen that SHL teams tend to value very highly, Festinator’s draft stock has risen consistently over the course of the season. Going 15th-overall in the SMJHL Entry Draft, Newfoundland was high on him from the start due to his link with team captain Nhamlet. After a season of building an impressive bank account and breaking into the upper echelon of TPE earners, we expect Kahnwald’s name to be called even earlier than that this time around.

Quote:“Jonas Kahnwald is an elite offensive threat with the defensive game to give him the potential to be a game breaker if he continues to develop on this trajectory.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“Kahnwald is a dual threat in the offensive zone with spectacular vision allowing him to thread passes and shots through openings in traffic.  He makes a strong first pass out of the zone and will be tested as he is set to take significant steps forward in his role with the Berserkers.” – SHL Scout

After the moderately successful careers of Aviad Ratzon (S30), Noctis Caelum (S32), and Shouta Aizawa (S44), now-veteran user Andy is back with his fourth player: Tanjiro Kamado. The Italian was the nineteenth-overall selection of the expansion Nevada Battleborn this past off-season, and looks to go off the board at the SHL level at right around that same number.

Kamado is one of the heavier players in the draft, but hasn’t quite learned how to make use of his frame just yet. It hasn’t proven to be much of a problem, though, as he has been able to succeed defensively through other means – namely his elite positioning. Kamado is really just passable in his own end, though – it’s his offensive game that will earn him a living in the SHL. His production wasn’t incredible this season, but it was respectable for a rookie defender, and will certainly shoot up as the team around him improves and is able to make better use of his howitzer of a shot.

Andy is a media-writing machine, which has helped him build up one of the better bank accounts in the draft. We can expect him to shoot up the TPE rankings in the coming weeks, then, as he’ll have access to equipment that others may be unable to afford. A member who earns fairly consistently across all his players, will Kamado be his first player to truly break through into the elite category?

Something to keep an eye on as Kamado’s career develops is his versatility on the ice. While this draft is packed full of high-end defensive prospects – of which Kamado is one – this is a player who is comfortable playing pretty much anywhere on the ice. We could see a team who has identified his ability to play forward make a move for him earlier than we have him ranked due to that versatility, and there’s some belief that his willingness to fill any role for a team is something scouts and general managers really admire about him.

Quote:“A lot of determination from this kid to make it as high on the draft board as he can. His player agent even released a statement saying he is willing to put in the work to figure out a new position. If he can keep this level of enthusiasm he is going places.” – SHL Scout

Our top-ranked prospect for the S56 SHL Entry Draft, Aleksander Kozlov has been highly rated by scouts for some time now – evidenced by his fifth-overall selection by the Carolina Kraken in the SMJHL. While taking a limited role on a very competitive Kraken team, Kozlov hasn’t disappointed. He has shown impressive productivity considering he typically skates on the fourth line, and is tasked with playing a more defensive game than he will have been asked as a younger player who may have dominated leagues offensively as a minor-aged player.

Not only is Kozlov asked to play a high-tempo backchecking game at even strength, he also features from time to time on the team’s third penalty killing unit. The player has found success there and contributed to Carolina boasting one of the league’s best penalty kills - even netting a shorthanded goal.

Witnessing the defensive side of his game develop will be a welcome sight to SHL scouts, as the offensive ability was never really in question. Kozlov didn’t light the world on fire with his scoring statistics this year and that might make him look like a bit of an underwhelming pick to uneducated eyes, but there is virtually no concern about his future production. Had Kozlov been on one of the expansion teams, he would doubtlessly have challenged for the rookie scoring title.

With this player, it’s a bit of a slow burn to see what his ultimate potential is because he is stuck behind some elite players in Carolina. What we have seen more than a few flashes of, though, is an elite ability to find open space and receive a pass, as well as a knack to get the puck on his teammates tape time and time again. He reads the game exceptionally well, and has a decent shot when asked to use it – though it’s rarely his first choice.

Kozlov is a weak face-off man, and that will need to improve if he is going to forge a career at centre ice in the SHL. He also needs to learn how to use his frame more effectively – both offensively in terms of occupying space in the crease, and defensively by separating his opponents from the puck - if he wants to maximize his potential as a player.

As a member, we are very comfortable with FlappyGiraffe and suspect SHL scouts will agree. The former GM of the Winnipeg Jets, Flappy posted a winning record of 178-134-36 during his tenure. With a management pedigree, this is a member who could doubtlessly make valuable contributions off-the-ice as well as on. Flappy has had one previous player – Gary Grease – who earned over 2000 TPE. That sort of track record combined with an enormous bank account (and high earning potential as a graphics creator) makes Kozlov as sure a bet as anyone in this draft.

Quote:“Flappy has lived up to and even exceeded the expectations of a Reddit draft first-round pick” – SHL Scout

Quote:“On ice, Aleksander Kozlov has had his share of rookie struggles getting used to the SMJHL, but he's finding his rhythm as the season goes on and he's getting more opportunities as the games go on.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“There’s just no reason not to select him. He has everything going for him.” – SHL Scout

The Vancouver Whalers’ 37th-overall pick in the SMJHL, Zebulon Leavitt projects to go quite a bit higher than that this time around. Kraagenskul, a first-generation user who joined through the league’s Reddit recruitment efforts, has been impressive since joining – building up over $11 million through a slew of articles that show an encouraging consistency of activity.

On the ice, Leavitt is a reliable defensive stalwart. He’s a strong physical presence, and excels at clearing both players and pucks from around the front of his net. Leavitt has a good engine and can eat up minutes, but he’s a bit of a lumbering, slow player without much in the way of an offensive flare. Still, there’s enough to like about his game to invest in him as a future top four defenceman, with the potential to become even more.

The rookie captain of the inaugural Quebec City Citadelles projects as an elite contributor both on- and off-ice for whichever team calls his name this weekend. Jasper Maximov, hailing from Ukraine, is another in a slew of high-end defensive prospects, giving teams with a hole or two on the blueline reason to salivate.

Skating on the top pair for the Citadelles, who finished last in a difficult North East division, Maximov managed 18 points in his rookie campaign. Maximov is the type of defender than the entire game can run through for your team, with the ability to be a focal point both offensively and defensively. While aspects of his game lack polish, the tools are all there for Maximov to develop into a franchise player with a bit more refinement.

Maximov’s greatest strength might just be the quality of his shot from the point, which the opposition is forced to respect and use a player to take away or pay the consequences – both being positive outcomes for Maximov’s team. He’s also a fabulous skater, which helps make up for a slight – though not serious – lack of size.

This is engimatic’s third player – the follow-up to Florence Clijsters and Maria Maximova. With those previous players, enigmatic has stayed around the 1000 TPE mark, which is a very useful player but not the numbers you’d hope to see from a player selected at the top of a Reddit draft. Still, given the consistency, potential, and bank, enigmatic is a clear-cut first-round prospect who wouldn’t look at all out of place going in the top ten of this draft.

Like several of his brothers, Slava Petrov heads into the draft as one of the most highly-touted prospects available. Moving from Nizhni Novgorod to Anchorage this season, Slava found himself playing alongside his brother Vladimir on the Armada’s third line – a role in which he found a decent amount of success. Posting 18 points on the year, Slava tied for 11th in points among rookies in the SMJHL despite netting only four goals.

One of the smaller Petrov brothers, Slava has the potential to be an absolutely dynamite player on the rush. When you look at the strengths of his game, that becomes clear. His greatest attributes are his top speed, his acceleration to get there, his puckhandling ability, and the pinpoint accuracy of his shot. That blend makes for a player the opposition fears when he starts burning down the ice on an odd-man rush, and it’s only a matter of time before we start to see it result in some impressive numbers.

A player with outstanding physicals and a fairly average frame, there’s really no major concerns here. There are some weaknesses in his game – he’s not particularly good in front of either net, but then, he’s simply not that type of player. His defensive game is fine, and his positioning could be better, but there is so much raw talent here that any shortcomings are very easily overlooked.

The member behind S32 top-five pick Corey Knouse, ckroyal92 comes with a solid pedigree. Members of the International Simulation Football League will certainly be familiar with the San Jose Sabercats General Manager, who looks to be on track to meet high expectations for his second player in the SHL. As an established ISFL member, ckroyal92 is a safe bet to at minimum continue earning TPE through the PT affiliation between the leagues. With a decent bank account and the ability to do graphics to earn more, he has all the makings of a high-end pick and may once against find himself selected in the top five.

Quote:“Where did all these Petrovs come from at once? Slava has been one of the most energetic players on the ice and the locker room. He is going to be a huge piece for any SHL team that is fortunate to grab him in the draft. His player agency also brought Knouse to the league so you know they have the ability to motivate their players.” – SHL Scout

The S56 TPE leader heading into the draft, Teylora Petrov is a serious contender to go first overall. It wouldn’t be the first time for user Panda, whose SHL experiences dates back to S10 when he, as Michael Haan, was selected in that slot by the Edmonton Blizzard. Having created several players since then with varying degrees of success, Panda has burst back onto the scene as a member of the illustrious Petrov hockey dynasty.

What stands out about Teylora immediately is his size – he is a hulking defender that towers over his opposition. A common problem for players his age is an inability to use their size because they haven’t filled out, but that’s not an issue here. Petrov looks every bit of the 255 lbs he weighs in at, but strangely, he doesn’t play like it. He certainly has the ability to lay the body – he just hasn’t done so, inexplicably recording just 8 hits over the course of his rookie season. It may be a function of how he was used on the ice – perhaps that his brother Boris was the one dishing out the hits - but scouts would certainly have liked to have seen a bit more from a defender with the physical gifts Teylora possesses.

The news isn’t all bad, though. Primarily a defensive defenceman, Petrov excels in his own zone. He may not go out of his way to lay the body, but what that means is that he’s consistently in the right position to break up a play through other means. Whether it be with his long, active stick or with a well-timed block, Petrov offers plenty of value-added in the defensive zone.

If Petrov isn’t selected first overall, it may be because of the premium teams place on offensive ability. While Petrov is of course very young and has plenty of time to develop the offensive side of his game, it’s just not there yet. He did manage 14 points in his rookie season, but scouts have reservations about his ability to produce at the SHL level as it stands. Petrov may become an elite stay-at-home defender, but those aren’t typically the players we see teams prioritizing.

A member with a long, clean history on the site, Panda is a veteran who should fit into any locker room as a leader. With a massive bank account, there’s no fear of Panda running out of money anytime soon, even with some Tier 5 Equipment purchases. While he was in the thick of the TPE race all season, his late season surge into top spot came as a result of winning his fantasy group, which, if he can repeat, will allow him to grow his lead over time. What separates Panda very narrowly from those above him is a slightly less consistent recreate history, but with his performance this season it shouldn’t be enough to scare teams off.

Quote:“He’s had a ton of players. I don’t think any of them were bad and he’s earning a ton of TPE. I just don’t know how amazing any of them were, either.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“This Petrov project, with a bunch of friends, might result in his best player ever.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“[Panda] is a great LR presence; one of the more outgoing members of the Petrov clan.” – SHL Scout

A member of an elite hockey family who will have plenty of reason to celebrate on draft night, Vladimir Petrov is one of the most skilled players in his age group. Vladimir is a natural winger and, above all else, an offensive force to be reckoned with – he just hasn’t quite had the chance to show it yet. Scouts are quite certain though: that breakout is coming.

What stands out immediately about Vladimir is his size. A towering, hulking presence at 6’6” and 265 lbs, Vladimir is a physical specimen who will have little trouble adjusting to the professional game as he’s already considerably larger and stronger than the vast majority of the SHL. While he is willing to use that size to his advantage, he doesn’t play an overly physical game – which could change as he tries to find a niche later in his career.

Though his size is astounding, it’s surprisingly Vladimir’s skill that’s most impressive. Vladimir possesses arguably the best hands in his draft class. He is a very well-rounded players offensively, but his passing and puckhandling abilities stand out above all else. Vladimir is capable of finding his teammates’ tape from anywhere on the ice, and has the puckhandling abilities to maneuver his way out of trouble whenever he finds himself in it.

Playing on a line with his brother in Anchorage, the native of Nizhni Novgorod has had perhaps a more difficult first junior season than anticipated. A natural winger, Vladimir has lined up at centre throughout the season. He looks completely out of his comfort zone taking faceoffs, and is clearly more accustomed to burning down the wings than he is taking on the deep forechecking and backchecking role of the traditional centreman. With that said, scouts are impressed by his willingness to play out of position when his team has needed it, and at the respectable offensive season he has managed despite that.

Petrov is the second player from Muford, the user behind S39 goaltender Tommy Tuck. One of the great netminders in SHL history, Tuck had an incredible career which Muford’s new team will obviously be hoping he can replicate with Vladimir. There’s little reason to doubt he can do just that, as he has a history of creating successful players in other leagues, as well as taking on management roles elsewhere, such as in the ISFL.

Quote:“[Muford] has always been a solid earner and is a great locker room presence.” – SHL Scout

You’d be forgiven if you haven’t heard much of the name Vaseline Podcalzone this season – the Russian winger was tucked away on Newfoundland’s fourth line and averaged just over eight minutes of time-on-ice. As a result, scouts may feel like they haven’t seen very much of Podcalzone compared to many of the other players in the draft, which could cause him to slide down the draft board. Those who have watched closely, though, will have seen a player with tremendous ferocity on the ice.

Podcalzone isn’t an enormous player, but he’s as tough as they come. As aggressive as anyone in the draft, Podcalzone is relentless on the forecheck and his blend of speed and power make for some crushing hits. He’s a very difficult player to get away from or to knock off the puck, which makes him a regular on the Berserkers’ penalty kill. His offensive upside is a bit of a question mark, as evidenced by his eight point output this season, but Podcalzone has the toolset required to become an SHL mainstay – what remains to be seen is how far up a lineup that will be.

Newcomer bdu754 has been quietly earning very consistently this season, and has shown no real signs of slowing down. An enthusiastic first-gen coming fresh off a Four Star Cup victory, there’s little reason to doubt bdu will reach his potential.

Quote:“Vaseline Podcalzone is an absolute ox on skates.  The kid is strong on the puck, strong off the puck and willing to go to the dirty areas.  You say jump, he asks how high and whether you want him to hit or score on the way up.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“Podcalzone is a big kid for his age and you'll see him continue to grow into his body as he develops.  He has the chance to be a dominant player when he gets the puck on his stick and creates a plethora of issues for those who try to defend him.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“He's got strong off-ice character and is known to be a locker room favourite in Newfoundland.  He's got a personality that draws in others.” – SHL Scout

Yngve Simonsson is one of the hardest players in this class to rank, and not because of his ability on the ice. As a player, Simonsson has kept pace with the upper-end of the class in TPE and has produced reasonably well. The questions, rather, stem from the member.

JumpierPegasus has become part of the furniture around here, with his first player dating back to S6. Since then he has held countless important positions around the league, serving as a GM, expansion team founder, and as SMJHL Commissioner. A very popular member, JP is difficult to rank because he could really go anywhere.

He may go much higher than we have him ranked because of his reputation, or he may go lower because of the somewhat inconsistent nature of his recreates – the reason for his lower “miscellaneous” score. A combination of those factors and his great performance thus far as Simonsson result in the ranking he has been assigned.

This Swedish winger is one of the best skaters in the draft, a quality which obviously caught the eye of the Detroit Falcons - who made him their first-round pick in S55 – and one that he will hope SHL scouts are paying attention to as well. Not just a player with impressive measurables, Simonsson excels in the offensive zone where he is constantly either open for a pass, or sending one off himself. His shooting leaves a lot to be desired, but his elite playmaking is enough to get by on its own.

Quote:“Simonsson may not have been a highlight of the season, but JP is one of the best in the business.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“[JumpierPegasus] has been involved with management and even was a commissioner that spearheaded the change to the SMJHL. Regarded highly around the league, he’ll lift the locker room spirit without fail.” – SHL Scout

The rookie scoring leader this season, it is no surprise to see Rock Strongo ranked highly on our list. While he netted 14 goals en route to an incredible 32 point effort to lead all SMJHL debutants, you Strongo’s true strength lies in his ability to dish the puck. A player of many talents, Strongo has been put in a position to succeed as a member of the Colorado Raptors, and it’s showing.

Highly touted coming into the major junior level, Strongo was the seventh-overall pick of the Raptors this past off-season. He hasn’t made them regret that decision, as he has really found himself at home on the Raptors’ third line due to great chemistry with linemates like Lord Raiden and Asclepius Perseus Flitterwind. Strongo has certainly played a part in the strong offensive season those players have had.

Interestingly, Strongo was drafted as a centreman, and projects to play there long-term. This season, though, Strongo has been used primarily on the left wing for the Raptors. This might look like a waste of his abilities in the face-off circle, but winning faceoffs hasn’t exactly been a problem for Colorado, and suiting up on the wing allows Strongo to play further up the lineup and see more ice-time, which is surely a worthwhile trade-off for the Hamilton, Ontario native. So long as it doesn’t stunt his long-term development as a center, this is likely a positive for Strongo.

Strongo is a strong all-arounder – a sort of “five-tool player” if you will. He may not excel at any one aspect of his game yet, he still has time to carve out his niche. Strongo can contribute in any zone, with his positioning and ability to read the play both offensively and defensively being key among his strengths. Most impressive, perhaps, is his engine – Strongo could play all night if asked, though that isn’t often given a fairly limited role as a rookie.

While Strongo doesn’t necessarily stand out in any one area, he also doesn’t really have any weaknesses to point to. An enormous presence on the ice, Strongo has the ability to throw his weight around at the junior level but often chooses not to. That’s something scouts may not be too worried about, but is probably something future coaches would like to try and encourage him to do more. Additionally, as good as his defensive play is, he hasn’t shown any willingness or ability to block shots – which, as a forward who will be drafted for his offensive ability, probably doesn’t hurt him too much.

As members go, there is nobody quite comparable to Leafs4Ever. Leafs is the definition of a safe pick – and that doesn’t mean his ceiling is low, either. With former players like Hercules Rockefeller and Rembrandt Q. Einstein, Leafs has a penchant for reaching the upper echelons of TPE earners. More than that, though, scouts will be drawn to Leafs presence and stature around the site. An owner, founder of the league, and Hall of Fame GM with four Challenge Cups to his name, Leafs adds more off-ice legitimacy and locker room wisdom to a team than any other player available in this draft.

Though he finds himself ranked above players with slightly more TPE, the gap simply isn’t enough to ignore the intangibles this player and member offer.

Quote:“Arguably the rookie of the year in the SMJHL. He's definitely going to catch a lot of attention from teams on draft day. Coming from one of the most reputable player agents out there too... this guy just checks every single box for a lot of teams.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“Leafs is so committed to the league, he never fails. He’s going early.” – SHL Scout

Quote:“I don’t know if he’ll go first, depends on who has the pick, but it wouldn’t be too early.” – SHL Scout

A player with real boom-or-bust potential, Alexis Vermette could become the steal of the draft. Treant  might be ranked a bit lower than expected here, mostly due to a string of underperforming previous players, but it’s clear that he has all the tools at his disposal to make Vermette his best yet.

Vermette is arguably the best pure shooter in the draft, with a scary accurate shot that he just needs to be able to unload from a bit further away in order to become a greater threat. His ability to get open, control the puck, and pull the trigger make him a dynamic offensive player that struggled to put it all together this season – but such is the case, really, for his entire team in Nevada. There’s not much to say about his game defensively – it’s certainly not a strength – but he at least has the speed to get back if he’s caught in an unfortunate position.

As a user, treant feels like someone who has never quite hit his full potential. Always a great teammate, his best-earning player was Cedric Moreau who topped out at just over 700 TPE. The resources are there, and treant is a player who keeps coming back, so it won’t take much for him to break through into the upper echelon of the league. If he does, Vermette could prove to be incredible value.

Quote:“He looks real good this time around. Not sure how high his stock is but he’s made decent players. This might be his best.” – SHL Scout
[Image: unknown.png]

There’s no question who the highest-rated goaltender in this draft is – it’s Phillip Weaver. While Mat Smith and Chimkin Tendy look like very good prospects in their own right, Weaver is one of those rare goalies that could go very early in the draft and still be a bit of a steal. A first-generation player getting the hang of things very quickly, the only question surrounding Weaver is where he’ll go… and that’s a bit more unpredictable than it should be given the nature of his position.

While there’s a fairly likely chance Weaver could drop in the draft as a result of his position, there’s no doubt he’s worthy of an early selection. Sure, he struggled this season in Nevada with just 8 wins in 38 starts, but to expect him to fare any better as a rookie starter on an expansion team would have been unrealistic. His .902 SV% and 4.13 GAA are more indicative of team strength and inexperience than they are future potential, and we expect to see a much better statistical performance from him in coming seasons.

Weaver has great positioning and reflexes, making him a tough goalie to beat when he’s at his best – or when his team gives him a chance. He sets himself into good positions and is very efficient with his movements, but he does have the reflex speed to react quickly if something fools him. He struggles when controlling and passing the puck, which isn’t a major issue but is something the team that drafts him would certainly like him to work on over time.

W19eaver has rapidly amassed a very impressive bank account, which is a big reason he ranks so highly on our list. Nevada clearly saw something in him when they made him the first first-gen taken in the SMJHL draft, and he hasn’t disappointed, with a flurry of media activity over the course of his rookie season. Most recently being hired as Team Canada’s World Junior Championship GM, W19eaver is integrating himself very well with the community and looks to be one of the most promising first-gens in the draft.

Quote:“Has to be the best goalie in the draft. I’m pretty high on him – he’s one of the first-gens you get excited about.” – SHL Scout
[Image: unknown.png]

Another highly-rated defencemen coming out of this freshman crop of users, Michael Withecheck is one of those first-gens that SHL GMs often get so excited about. With an incredibly impressive offensive output for a rookie defender who spent time on the bottom pairing in Anchorage, Withecheck has been turning heads all season long.

Part of a group of defencemen ranked around him that are nearly interchangeable, Withecheck is sort of a Swiss Army knife for his team. While our sim engine considers him best utilized as a “crease-clearing defenceman,” he is much more than that alone. Virtually every part of his game is solid, making him a reliable option in every zone. One of the most courageous players in the draft, Withecheck is the sort of players who leads by example on the ice.

If we were to nitpick, the Austrian could use improvement in his shot blocking ability, which is much worse than some of the other elite defenders in the class. While he is an impressive physical presence with good top-speed, it takes him a few too many strides to hit it and his reaction time leaves a bit to be desired. These are things that can be improved, though, and we suspect that they will with further development and guidance.

Sakrosankt has amassed an impressive bank account for a first-gen, largely on the strength of a single monstrous double pay media article. GMs may (or may not) prefer to see a more consistent media effort, but ultimately every dollar is equal, and sakrosankt has plenty of it to play with in developing Withecheck.

After a nearly two-year absence from the site, Jala has returned with a third-generation prospect – the grandson of legendary Calgary Dragons defenseman Sachimo Zoidberg. It would seem there was some doubt surrounding Jala’s ability to stick around – perhaps a combination of the time away and the lackluster career of his highly-touted second player. Whatever the reason, it led to Zoidberg III falling to the fourth round of the SMJHL Entry Draft, going 44th-overall to the expansion Nevada Battleborn.

What a steal Zoidberg III has turned out to be for the fledgling Nevada side, as the rookie has taken on important top four minutes on the Battleborn blueline. A prototypical offensive defenseman and power play quarterback, Zoidberg has come exactly as advertised, producing at a very impressive rate for a first-year defender in the SMJHL and staying near the top of the TPE-earning race for the bulk of the season.

Zoidberg’s bread and butter is his skating ability, which allows him to burn up and down the ice and take risks that other defenders may struggle to recover from. He is constantly activated on the rush and is always a threat to pinch in and gain possession of the puck offensively. Zoidberg is also a gifted passer, as evidenced by his assist numbers in his debut season. A versatile threat, Zoidberg III has high-end offensive potential.

The flip side is that Zoidberg is not as tight defensively as some of his counterparts in the draft. He’s no slouch in his own end by any means, but he’s not elite in that category either. His biggest flaw is his hitting, which isn’t too grave a concern as he makes up for it with an active stick. Further, due to his style of play, as he becomes better offensively he should be a possession-driver who won’t have to worry much about using the body defensively anyway.

Jala will be an intriguing story to follow on draft day. He has rocketed up the rankings as the season has gone on, and seems sure to improve on his SMJHL draft position. That said, will SHL GMs have the same concerns junior GMs seem to have had? If so, maybe that’s all the better for Zoidberg III, who has clearly done well for himself while having something to prove.
