<div align="center">30. Julie-Anne Marshall - Syckez
Center - Vancouver Whalers
Score: 4.8

Marshall is an interesting character, joining just three weeks ago yet earning quite a bit of TPE in that time while also being a long-time member of the SHL. Syckez has been fairly active on the forums recently and is one of the overall total posts leaders among the draft class. The one thing holding her back from being higher up on this list is a very non-traditional and seemingly detrimental build. Not only was endurance chosen as a strength but, perhaps even worse, strength was chosen as her weakness. This does not exactly suggest Marshall will ever be able to be a top tier player, regardless of TPE potential, so while everything else warrants a higher ranking, build will keep her as a top 30 bookend.

29. Michael Gerrard - stevo
Right Wing - Montreal Impact
Score: 4.75

Gerrard was selected with the 38th overall pick after suggesting that his hockey interest just simply was not all there. Yet that hasn't stopped him from becoming strong offensive contributor and a guy who truly can open up a game if opponents take him too lightly. He has continued to be active on the forums, albeit in smaller quantities than many of his peers, and with weekly updates, Gerrard is a player that may be overlooked but certainly has SHL potential.

28. Matt Veenstra - Emveegtg
Defense - Kelowna Knights
Score: 4.525

Matt Veenstra was selected 34th overall by the Knights and has certainly exceeded expectations. He's been active around the forums, has been reliably updated, and has a pretty solid build. While he could benefit from choosing one of passing or scoring to focus on, Veenstra shines in a draft class that has a lack of defensemen, especially with three of the top five taken in the SMJHL Entry Draft going inactive. It may take a few seasons for him to mature, but any team who drafts him will be getting a solid defenseman.

27. Devon Mack - GreatOneHimself
Center - Montreal Impact
Score: 4.525

Mack was a late addition by the Impact, adding him after the regular season had already begun. Since then, he has taken the league by storm, earning a surprising amount of points for getting such a late start. He also has a very solid build as a two-way center and is a guy that does put effort into taking faceoffs. While Mack isn't one of the more outspoken guys on the forums, he will let his presence be known from time to time. The one thing holding him back right now is his bank account. Devon Mack is currently in the red, a literal red flag as training and equipment costs more in the SHL than it does for junior players, raising questions as to whether he'll be able to keep up.

26. Cynthia Taylor - Cynthia
Defense - Prince George Firebirds
Score: 4.45

Cynthia Taylor came into the league with everyone assuming she would be a Whaler and become teammates with her husband. Yet that changed in the SMJHL Draft as Vancouver let her slide, and then let her slide some more. The Firebirds grabbed her with the 30th overall selection, a pick they couldn't be much happier about as Taylor has evolved into a talented defensewoman. She updates with regularity and is moderately active on the forums and is actually one of the more sneaky funny members of this draft class. One issue she must focus on is her skating ability - she will have to work on that in the off-season if she wants to take her game to the next level.

25. Jack Durden - martyrpayens
Center - Vancouver Whalers
Score: 4.3

Durden has been among the better TPE earners in the league and while his forum activity outside of the Whalers locker room was virtually non-existent early in the season, we've begun to see him begin contributing on the main forums, which is sure to boost his draft stock. He is a guy who updates regularly and appears to be passionate about the league and while he can get a bit fired up at times, passion is a good thing to see in draftees. If he can work on his passing this off-season, we could see him come out strong next season as one of the top playmakers in the SMJHL. Durden is certainly the type of player that will be picked with the expectation that he will be playing in the SHL in the coming seasons.

24. Ryan King - TML99
Right Wing - St. Louis Scarecrows
Score: 4.225

Ryan King has been very active in media this season and it certainly will be reflected in his draft position. While not quite as talkative as some in this draft class, his presence is certainly well-known and he appears to be widely liked and respected. One issue with King, though, is his player build. His chosen weakness in puck handling may hold him back from being a truly effective player for the time being and it will be difficult for him to remain competitive and keep his puck handling at an adequate level. Nonetheless, he has been a solid updater and does have a good amount of TPE up to this point. His activity is definitely a plus and SHL General Managers are certainly aware of this.

23. Nikolaus Scholz - karlssens
Center - Kelowna Knights
Score: 4.125

One thing holding back the German center is his overall activity. While he is a likable guy, it seems as though he prefers to lay low which can make it difficult to really get to know him. Judging by his post count, he very well may not be all that active in his team's locker room either. Nonetheless, Scholz is absolutely a solid prospect as he's a TPE machine and has a solid, well-rounded two-way build. As the 22nd overall selection by the Knights, he has certainly lived up to, if not exceeded expectations.

22. Austin Lemieux - Voyagaming
Goaltender - Detroit Falcons
Score: 4.1

With Nevzorov automatically headed to unknown expansion team number two, Lemieux is the only goaltender worth drafting in this class. The 20th overall pick split time with Lee Bowden this year for the first place Falcons and while he will require a fair bit of seasoning in the SMJHL, he has SHL potential, perhaps even moreso than Nevzorov had. He is fairly quiet, though, but he updates every week and if a team is looking for their goaltender of the future, they likely will be getting that in the Canadian goaltender.

21. Alexander Wolff - NateyD
Defense - Montreal Impact
Score: 3.9

Wolff has perhaps one of the best histories in the SHL among anyone in this draft and while he has been fairly quiet lately, it would be hard to imagine this guy not being a strong SHL prospect with everything he is able to bring to a team. A guy who was expected to go in the first two rounds of the SMJHL Entry Draft, the Impact scooped him up at 26, a selection that has only become more impressive as the already thin position has become plagued with inactives. Even if he were selected in the mid second round of the SHL Draft, he very well may turn out to be a steal because this guy is as sure a thing as they come.
