Kynwyl Pearce didn't had a great season. His team, the Kelowna Knights lost a lot of good players during the offseason and Pearce wasn't able to step up and take the places left vacant by the players who got called up by their SHL teams. Not only that but he also regressed compared to his first season, getting less points and having an atrocious -14 compared to his first season where he ended with +4 instead. It's an evidence that he didn't met his goals and his overall season was a great disappontment for him. Yeah, a part of the problem can be attribvuted to his team who got worse, but he can't put everything on the shoulders of his team. He will need to look himself in the mirror during the offseason and step up his game for the next season if he want to be called up by the Monarchs one day.


Points earned during the season are already used to know who get in the playoffs and who sits out. You can't use that system again for the seeding of the series or else we ends with something that could be arged forever and ever like what happened this season. We need a way to score points that can't be contested by anyone and what better way than using scrabble points! use the value of the team names and then put 5 v 12, 6 v 11, etc. with the top 4 getting a pass of course. You can even change wich word you'll use for each season like the team name, city, lead scorer, starting goalie, etc.


The city would probably be in canada like the NHL for the same reasons, easier to be sure the bubble won't be infected. They would probably also chose 2 cities to try to get the less amount of players at the same arenas. They would also need to choose cities with already functionnal arenas and infrastructures of the SHL level so they won't pick any of the junior arenas like Vancouver or Halifax. The first city they should chose is Toronto. Since the team didn't made it to playoffs, no team will have a home advantage playing there. For their second choice, I think they should consider Montreal. The city already updated their arena and training center to SHL level before the last expansion where the SHL finally chose Seattle and Atlanta. No team are playing there for now so everything is ready to host the playoffs for a conference there.





For me, there is no doubt that Theo Morgan should get the MVP award not only for the series but for the whole playoffs. with a production of 14 goals and 23 points in only 18 games, Hamilton wouldn't had had their great run in the playoffs if he wasn't there to score. He also managed to amass 5 of thoses points in power play, making sure the other team's errors were punished while getting only 2 penalties for himself. While Luffy and Sharp managed to produce more points for their teams, they also played more games, avegarged more time on ice per game and didn't win the cup so that's why I think the MVP should go to Morgan
