If there was ever going to be a SHLPA, it needs to be run by veteran players. Their experience and knowledge of the league is a must for the PA to function properly. They can hire young players as interns, but they need to do the initial heavy lifting to create a solid base. Having said that, here are my 3 players that I would want to lead the SHLPA.

@ArGarBarGar - Having experience in a variety of ways in the league, ArGar would be a fantastic member to head up the PA. He's already a man of the people, having started the Top 100 list every off-season. He would know what the players need when going into negotiations with the league.

@.bojo - A man who had been involved with the Head Office of the SHL will bring important knowledge about the workings of the league. Having a PA leader with that knowledge gives them an advantage going into any talks they have. Plus, he's a beloved member by the players and would be a popular choice.

@RomanesEuntDomus - I chose RED because of his long history in the league, but mostly because he comes with a lot of different ideas and brings a hard edge to the negotiation table. He's resolute in his ideas and having his presence at the head of the PA will make it so the newly formed group doesn't get pushed around by the league.
