1. Milestones +3

2c. I absolutely think WhiteFuzz has the better first line. Even with Beauregard as the weak link, the combination of Hargreeves, who had one of the best seasons out of any player this year, and Wagner-Svensson, one of the most underrated players in the league, beats out the JRuke line, which is not a bad first line by any means.

2d. I think Sir Devoir is the better goalie of the two this season. Despite being benched for the playoffs, Devoir had an outstanding regular season and should shut down the opposing offense in the all star game. Grzegorz was not bad by any means, but did struggle in the playoffs and was just overall, at least to me, the second best goalie this season behind Devoir.

11. There’s three I can think of that are good examples and first ballot hall of famers. First is Ryuuji Minamino on Chicago. His career is over 20 seasons long at this point and between multiple cups, gold medals, and scoring records he will definitely make the hall of fame as soon as he is eligible. The next one is Evil Allbran on Philadelphia. A lock due to being the best player at the height of the Forge’s dominance, Allbran is still an elite player in the SHL despite being a S60. His legacy is sealed at this point, much like Minamino. The third one who I think really sealed their first ballot spot this season is Justin Time. The S64 goalie already had a strong case from his time in Edmonton, but moving over to San Francisco and leading them to their franchise’s first cup is first ballot hall of fame worthy without a doubt, and with so much more career ahead of him I wouldn’t be shocked if he retired with 3 or 4 cups.
