39. (S31) LW (Seattle Riot) - Trevor Wilson || +17
Average Grade: 84.60
Past Seasons: S37-82, S38-56
At 39 we have a big riser in Trevor Wilson as he took a huge step forward this season, leading the Seattle Riot with 53 points and 249 shots. To make those marks even more impressive, only 9 of those points came on the power play and he shot at a below-average 9.24% percentage. But his contributions aren't all in the offensive zone as he was just 4 minutes behind Samee Iqbal for most penalty kill minutes and blocked 21 shots, most of Seattle's forwards. Wilson will look to build on his success as he heads to West Kendall next season.

38. (S28) RW (West Kendall Platoon) - Mikko Linna || -21
Average Grade: 84.60
Past Seasons: S32-76, S33-81, S34-98, S35-61, S36-48, S37-48 S38-17
Speaking of West Kendall, Mikko Linna checks in at #38. During a disappointing season for the team, Linna led the way in points with 44, hits with 163, blocked shots (among forwards) with 19, and minutes played (among forwards) with 1115. With a changing of the guard underway in West Kendall, Linna will look to help lead the team back to the playoffs next season.

37. (S32) D (Minnesota Chiefs) - Noctis Caelum || +42
Average Grade: 84.80
Past Seasons: S37-97, S38-79
One of the biggest risers this season, defender Noctis Caelum makes a huge jump to #37. Coming off a nearly point-per-game season on the blue line, Caelum impressed by putting up more points than many of the superstars he shares a team with. Blocking 79 shots and landing 98 hits didn't hurt, either. Caelum led the Chiefs in power play time and took advantage of the opportunity, tying Sebastian Strange for most power play points on the team and second-most in the league.

36. (S31) C (San Francisco Pride) - Geronimo Otto || +33
Average Grade: 84.80
Past Seasons: S36-90, S38-69
Leading the way on San Francisco's miracle season, Geronimo Otto finds his way to #36 on our list. He led the President's Trophy-winning team with 58 points, 22 goals, and 36 assists and helped anchor the best penalty kill in the league, leading Pride forwards in penalty kill minutes. Perhaps most impressively, Otto was 6th in the league and led all forwards in even strength goals per 20. If San Francisco is to repeat their stellar season, Otto will be a big reason why.

35. (S31) D (Buffalo Stampede) - Alexis Metzler || +9
Average Grade: 85.20
Past Seasons: S36-66, S38-44
Continuing to climb after a big jump last year is Alexis Metzler at #35. The Buffalo defenseman, despite playing on the worst offensive team in the league, managed to score 42 points and register 31 assists this season. Metzler also managed to record 8 of his 11 goals at even strength, good for 4th among defensemen.

34. (S33) RW (Toronto North Stars) - Chris York || New Entry
Average Grade: 85.40
Past Seasons: None
Toronto's Chris York had one of the best seasons of any SHL player this year and his improvement is staggering. As Toronto dropped 14 standings points, scored 22 fewer goals, and allowed 24 more goals York improved his person tallies from 41 to 56 points, 20 to 32 assists, 123 to 154 hits, and 208 to 247 shots. He also stepped into a bigger defensive role on the team as he logged 68 penalty kill minutes to last year's 13 and went from 6th forward in power play minutes to top on the team.

33. (S31) LW (Buffalo Stampede) - Eduard Selich || +20
Average Grade: 85.60
Past Seasons: S33-84, S34-36, S35-12, S36-38, S37-52, S38-53
After a tumble last season, Selich rebounds nicely following a 55 point season for the Buffalo Stampede. Much like Metzler, Selich's impressive season on a tanking team is enough to shoot him back into the top 40. One of the few players who managed a positive Plus/Minus rating on Buffalo, Selich scored 28 goals (10 higher than 2nd on the Stampede) and recorded 218 shots (55 more than 2nd) while being a workhorse in all situations for the team. His 3 fights (all ties) and 4 game-winning goals also led his team.

32. (S31) D (West Kendall Platoon) - Ludwig Koch Schröder || Even
Average Grade: 85.60
Past Seasons: S33-98, S34-92, S35-82, S36-71, S37-11, S38-32
Schröder has become a regular toward the top of these lists in recent seasons and he reprises his #32 placement in the S39 edition. Following his move from Buffalo to West Kendall, Schröder has put up 69 points, 211 hits, and 155 blocked shots in 2 seasons. He has truly become a workhorse for the Platoon, leading the team in minutes played in both years and stepping up in a big way on the penalty kill this season - leading Platoon defensemen with 123 such minutes. He's been exactly the type of defenseman you want to see: solid all-around game.

31. (S30) D (Seattle Riot) - Viatcheslav Orlov || +16
Average Grade: 85.80
Past Seasons: S37-90, S38-47
A steady producer on the Riot blueline for the past several seasons, Orlov will be moving to upstart Edmonton going forward and looking to replicate his success. Orlov's biggest strengths have been in even strength production and separating opponents from the puck. This season he tallied 2 assists every 60 minutes at even strength and if not for his unlucky 6.9% shooting percentage his 2.5 shots per 60 even strength minutes would have been quite a bit higher - though tallying 39 points as a defenseman is nothing to scoff at anyway. In addition, his 276 hits over the last two seasons have solidified him as one of the most physical defensemen in the league as he led Seattle's blue line the past two campaigns.

30. (S25) C (Winnipeg Jets) - Luke Fleming || -19
Average Grade: 86.20
Past Seasons: S29-100, S30-79, S31-37, S32-33, S33-25, S34-12, S35-3, S36-4, S37-10 S38-11
After spending 5 straight seasons among the elite of the elite, Fleming falls back this season - but only to 30. Coming off a S37 where he scored 57 points for the high-flying, championship-winning Jets, Fleming passed the baton to younger players for this past season, seeing nearly 300 fewer minutes. However, he showed that he's still got it as he recorded 43 points in his reduced role - many on the power play - and put up nearly 11 shots every 60 minutes of even strength play. His 212 all situations shots were 3rd on the team and with a touch more luck would've put him in point-per-game territory.

Alonzo Garbanzo Final Tallies (Among Defensemen):
2nd in Goals (208), All-Time Assists Leader (765)*, All-Time Points Leader (973), 3rd in Hits (2587), All-Time Blocked Shots Leader (1882)*

Phew, I knew Foster was top 30 material. Thanks a lot in advance.

ArGarBarGar · 02-12-2018, 06:48 PM

29. (S30) LW (San Francisco Pride) - Kelly Rivet || +12
Average Grade: 86.60
Past Seasons: S36-86, S38-41

Rivet made a significant jump on the list from last season, as he managed to move up twelve spots on the list, which places him in the top thirty. Such a leap forward is unquestionably warranted, as Rivet managed to increase his point total by ten, contributing 49 points, compared to the 39 he produced in S37.

28. (S31) G (Manhattan Rage) - Jason Aittokallio || +20
Average Grade: 86.80
Past Seasons: S35-99, S36-94, S37-54 S38-48

Being a member of the reigning champions as he is, itâ€™s only fitting that Aittokallio jump a massive twenty spots on this seasonâ€™s list. Aittokallio faced the 4th most shots and played the 5th most minutes among SHL goaltenders, and managed to produce both a 0.907% save percentage and a 3.00 goals against average.
27. (S25) C (Seattle Riot) - Jonathan Lundberg || +9
Average Grade: 86.80
Past Seasons: 30-82, S31-94, S32-65, S33-59, S34-49, S35-27, S36-30, S37-58 S38-36

Lundberg managed to move up an impressive nine slots on the list, which nearly brings him within the top 25 overall, which is quite an impressive feat given his age. Though his production diminished by nine points from the previous season, Lundberg still produced an impressive 41 points at his current age. Such production kept him within the top fifty point producers of the entire league.

26. (S28) G (Seattle Riot) - Michael McFadden || -10
Average Grade: 87.40
Past Seasons: S31-73, S32-73, S33-56, S34-58, S35-21, S36-26, S37-42 S38-16

Falling ten positions on the list is McFadden, who certainly regressed in his performance, as he finished both first in save percentage and second in goals against average in S37, and regressed to eighth in both categories for this past season. McFadden is still considered one of the better goaltenders of the entire league, though being on a rebuilding team will likely hurt his chances of moving up the list in the near future.

25. (S31) C (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Ronnie Westbrook || +2
Average Grade: 87.60
Past Seasons: S34-97, S35-83, S37-40 S38-27

Moving up two spots on this seasonâ€™s list, is the improving and rapidly rising star, Ronnie Westbrook, who managed to increase his point production from 47 to 53, during this past season. Westbrook is unquestionably a crucial member of an impressively youthful Steelhawks team, and itâ€™s therefore possible that his numbers continue to improve as the team continues to develop.

24. (S27) RW (New England Wolfpack) - Raven Silverwing || +13
Average Grade: 87.80
Past Seasons: S33-52, S34-37, S35-18, S36-33, S37-24 S38-37

Silverwing improves a very impressive thirteen spots on this seasonâ€™s list, which makes a great deal of sense, given that there was a four point improvement from last season. Silverwing produced 53 points this past season, which was the thirteenth highest total in the entire league. In addition, Silverwing added three more goals compared to last season by scoring 24 goals, which is tied for the tenth highest goal total in the SHL. Silverwing has remained a core piece of the Wolfpack for a great deal of seasons, and such success does not seem to be coming to a close at any juncture in the near future.

23. (S25) C (Edmonton Blizzard) - Nikolaus Scholz || -10
Average Grade: 87.80
Past Seasons: S31-69, S32-47, S33-17, S34-28, S35-30, S36-24, S37-39 S38-13

Sliding ten spots from last season is Nikolaus Scholz, who produce seven less points than the 57 he produced in S37. Nevertheless, Scholz still had a very impressive season, as the fifty points he provided for the Blizzard was tied for the 18th highest scoring total in the league. Scholz remains a key part of a young and improving Blizzard team, so it shouldn't be surprising if he managed to move up this list for next season.

22. (S20) RW (Toronto North Stars) - Kristian Eriksson || +18
Average Grade: 88.40
Past Seasons: S22-96, S23-77, S24-57, S25-40, S26-11, S27-30, S28-55, S29-39, S30-55, S31-30, S32-5, S33-20, S34-20, S35-38, S36-55, S37-71 S38-40

Moving up a very sizable eighteen slots this season is the captain of the North Stars, Kristian Eriksson. Despite his age, Eriksson produced 56 points this season, including 27 goals, which placed him tied for third in goals scored. In addition, Eriksson finished fifth in total scoring for the league as well. The North Stars are about to enter a massive rebuild and Eriksson continues to battle the hardships of regression, which might make it difficult for him to move up the list any further than this already impressive position.

21. (S32) LW (Manhattan Rage) - Luke Atmey || -13
Average Grade: 88.60
Past Seasons: S34-93, S36-51, S37-14 S38-8

Atmey fell thirteen slots on this seasonâ€™s list, which makes sense, given that his production fell by six points from S37. Nevertheless, Atmey still produced an impressive 46 points, which ties him for the 29th highest scoring total in the league. Atmey remains a key piece of the reigning championsâ€™ roster, and it shouldn't be surprising if he manages to have a bounce back season, as the Rage try to defend their championship this upcoming season.

20. (S22) D (Manhattan Rage) - Bubba Nuck || -6
Average Grade: 88.80
Past Seasons: S24-98, S26-59, S28-51, S29-74, S30-63, S31-3, S32-40, S33-69, S34-73, S35-14, S36-10, S37-4 S38-14

Starting off the top twenty is Bubba Nuck, who fell a noticeable six positions on this seasonâ€™s list. Nuck actually managed to produce three more points than in S37, with a scoring total of 39 points. Nuck might have fallen on the list, but he remains one of the better defensemen in the entire league, and is a crucial reason as to why the Rage won the Challenge Cup this past season.

2nd in Goals (208), All-Time Assists Leader (765)*, All-Time Points Leader (973), 3rd in Hits (2587), All-Time Blocked Shots Leader (1882)*

No, highest ever debut was #1 in S20, bro.
