FuzzSHLSHL GM The Two-Time Two-Time 1st year franchise, the New Orleans Specters are the team to beat in the Western Division playoffs
After two straight SMJHL 4-Star Cup titles, St Louis Scarecrows GM JKortesi took on the same role in the new expansion franchise New Orleans Specters. Expectations weren't necessarily that high, especially for an expansion team. However, any team with JKortesi at the helm is not one to be looked over. His first pick in the expansion draft was nearly identical to the same move that Vegas made in the NHL - taking an underutilized franchise-potential goaltender in Aleister Cain. Cain ended up posting a record of 26-16-2 with a .915 save percentage and a 2.49 GAA. His stats were good for 3rd in save percentage, 1st in GAA, 1st in shutouts, and 2nd in wins. The next two picks would lock in two of the Specters' eventual top-4 scoring leaders in their inaugural season. On top of all this, they seemingly stole the spotlight in free agency, landing the offseason's biggest names on team-friendly deals. They struck gold in the SHL Entry Draft as well, landing names like Jimmy Slothface and Michael Fox, as well as later round steals like Osbert Whacker and Basil Magnicotta. With JKortesi at the helm, not only will New Orleans be the team to beat in the Western Division this year, but they will be the team to beat in the entire SHL for seasons to come.
