69. (S39) D (Toronto North Stars) - Bob Bergen || -11
Grade: 75.80
Past Seasons: S42-58

At 69 is Bob Bergen, a player who has already made a name for himself despite only a couple seasons in the league. Bergen dropped a bit on the rankings, but his 10 goals and 34 points is a hell of a second year for a defenseman (not taking into account the plus minus, which is something you somewhat expect on a team like Toronto at this point). Bergen could be a player that will be a Stevens contender year in and year out, but he first needs to break that 30 point plateau and get some real production going.

68. (S35) LW (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Angelo Odjick || +10
Grade: 75.90
Past Seasons: S41-70, S42-78

At 68 is Steelhawks winger angelo Odjick, starting to find his niche in the league and perhaps getting underrated as a result. This is his second 40+ point season (scored 21 goals and 43 points in S42), and he was pretty good in all areas, especially hits (where he registered 146), but for some reason is not getting the recognition that he may deserve. However, with him getting into his prime years he could be poised to take the league by storm and show everyone what he is all about.

67. (S32) D (Buffalo Stampede) - Charles Walker || -47
Grade: 75.90
Past Seasons: , S37-, S38-133, S39-81, S40-95, S41-55, S42-20

At 67 is Charles Walker of the Stempede, who has played a lot of hockey with a solid set of results as a defenseman. However in S42 he scored only 4 goals and 24 points, the worst pair of statistics since S36 (8 seasons), and is certainly going to be looking for some kind of bounce-back in S43. Walker definitely has the talent to do so, but does he have the work ethic?

66. (S32) RW (West Kendall Platoon) - Leafer Rielly || -22
Grade: 76.20
Past Seasons: S39-95, S40-44, S41-39, S42-44

At 66 is Leafer Rielly of the West Kendall Platoon, another lifer (so far) who is experiencing somewhat of a down year production-wise. Rielly scored 15 goals and 39 points, their worst season since S37 (7 seasons), and with Rielly's advanced age (as in hitting regression) this could spell the beginning of the end for the veteran winger.

65. (S34) LW (Minnesota Chiefs) - Noro Wozy || -38
Grade: 76.30
Past Seasons: S37-88, S38-68, S39-58, S40-30, S41-20, S42-27

At 65 is new Minnesota acquisition Noro Wozy. The former Steelhawk scored 13 goals and 37 points in S42, which was a major mark down from the previous season (I am sensing a pattern here in the 60s), and considering regression is right around the corner I am going to chalk this one up to the player hitting their mid-life crisis at an early age and instead of buying a car well below their age they are just sucking at hockey. Come on, Wozy. Get it together.

64. (S21) D (Minnesota Chiefs) - Alonzo Garbanzo || -57
Grade: 76.30
Past Seasons: S23-59, S24-76, S25-18, S26-30, S27-13, S28-3, S29-15, S30-6, S31-4, S32-4, S33-9, S34-2, S35-5, S36-2, S37-3, S38-3, S39-7, S40-22, S41-8, S42-7

At 64 is defenseman Alonzo Garbanzo, one of the greatest defensemen to ever lace them up (the author is definitely not biased in this statement at all). Going in classic "oh the mighty have fallen" fashion, Garbanzo dropped his production by over 50%, scoring only 4 goals and 23 points in S42, though his minutes dropped by almost 15%, but of course we all know the math doesn't quite add up there. This is the lowest Garbanzo has ranked on the list since S24, and considering that fact it is likely that the aging future Hall of Famer (not biased at all, once again) should be retiring very soon.

63. (S32) D (West Kendall Platoon) - Noctis Caelum || -13
Grade: 76.40
Past Seasons: , S37-97, S38-79, S39-37, S40-70, S41-58, S42-50

At 63 is Platoon defender Noctis Caelum, a player who has been pretty consistent through his career but wasn't quite up to his normal speed in S42. Last season he scored 11 goals and 31 points, though his plus minus didn't exactly improve with a -6 on the season. Overall his season didn't turn many heads, so it is possible that him leaving Minnesota was a mistake and he should consider that his actions have consequences next time he is a free agent.

62. (S36) D (Winnipeg Jets) - Karl Hefeweizen || -40
Grade: 76.90
Past Seasons: S41-68, S42-22

At 62 is Karl Hefeweizen, Jets defender and YET AGAIN a player who had a significant down year in S42. Hefeweizen scored 9 goals and 27 points, which put a damper on all fantasy hockey players considering he was on an upward trend the previous two seasons. Not to mention his plus minus was the lowest of his career. Is there potentially some reason he has just stopped caring or is Winnipeg so terrible that he is looking for his first out?

61. (S30) LW (Texas Renegades) - Conklin Owen || +4
Grade: 77
Past Seasons: S35-85, S37-57, S38-57, S40-6, S41-47, S42-65

At 61 is Conklin Owen, who is the first player in a few who has actually shown some consistency and is not dropping like a rock in the list. Owen followed up his 21 goal, 43 point season with 22 goals and 43 points. While he was simply consistent on the offense, his defense shot up where he was only a -3 player on the season and even got back to his100+ hits which we thought would be a regular thing in S41.

60. (S33) LW (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Zanarkand Abes || -24
Grade: 77.30
Past Seasons: S39-68, S40-14, S41-43, S42-36

At 60 is Zanarkand Abes, honest Abe as we call him in the original nickname factory. Abes scored 20 goals and 39 points in S42, which unfortunately means he himself had a regression (which tallies up the regression players in the 60s to 7, which is out of 10 for all you people bad at math). The one thing consistent with his game was the physicality, which means he may be a major intangible monster in the coming years and not be bringing as much of the offense as the Steelhawks look for the next Challenge Cup in their history.
