THIS PT IS OPEN TO ALL SHL PLAYERS AND SENDDOWNS.

We're almost one week into the regular season, and trends are already starting to form. People are getting jittery, both on- and off-ice. Let's talk about it. Pick one of the following topics to discuss.

- Who's your early prediction for the Jesster Trophy (rookie of the year)? Justify your choice.

- There's been a lot of discussion about the tampering rule lately. If you were to rewrite it, how would you alter it, and why? If not, why do you think it's fine as-is?

- Who do you think will distinguish themselves for the S37 SHL draft at the end of the season? Have any prospects surprised you? Impressed you? Talk about them and tag them!

- Media grading has always been a bit of a tricky topic on the site. Give your opinion on the current system. What do you think should constitute a media bonus? Should we move towards a less strict grading system?

Every participant will receive ONE CAPPED TPE, while 5 will be chosen as discussion leaders to receive an additional ONE UNCAPPED TPE.

Discussion will close Sunday, August 20th, at 7PM EST.
