70. (S13) D (Edmonton Blizzard) - Matthew Buchesner || -27
Grade: 28/45
Past Seasons: S20- 63, S21- 43

The fact that Matthew Buchesner is this high on the list is impressive. The only player on this list that Iâ€™m unfamiliar with, itâ€™s downright insulting that heâ€™s higher than Daugavins all things considered. After climbing 20 spots in Season 21, heâ€™s crashed back down 27 spots this year based on his performance. I donâ€™t have a whole ton to put in here about him. A tremendous shot blocker and hit maker, most of his contribution seems to be in the physicality of his play and his defensive efforts for the team. This doesnâ€™t get nearly enough respect in the league but hey, that doesnâ€™t always push a team into the Championship Cup and that seems to be the case here for Matthew Buchesner and the Edmonton Blizzard.

NHL Player Comparison: Jake Muzzin

69. (S15) LW (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Arthur Grosberg || -10
Grade: 28/45
Past Seasons: S20- 90, S21- 59

After a huge breakout season in Season 21 with 40 points, Arthur Grosberg was a big hit through his transition to the Hamilton Steelhawks, coming close to Joe Mckeizâ€™s goal total. This placed him high up the Top 100 list from his first year there but unfortunately, it seems heâ€™s settled down a little bit in the rankings despite holding pretty strong in the scoring department. 38 points with a +7 in 1144 minutes played across the season is a solid place on any teamâ€™s stat sheets and would be a good reason to be higher up on the list but he may be another member that fell through the cracks of the voting committeeâ€™s tough, long-winded job. He may not be the flashiest player in the league â€” or the most vocal â€” but count on him to be counted on.

NHL Player Comparison: Rielly Smith

68. (S15) LW (Texas Renegades) - Mikhail Krivokrasov || -1
Grade: 28/45
Past Seasons: S20- 61, S21- 67

A solid shot percentage at 18.28% over the season, an even balance of goals and assists for a total of 33 points, and being on the winning Texas Renegades has earned Mikhail Krivokrasov a firm position on this list. Heâ€™s continued to get a little better each season and has been a steady force for an incredibly deep team. 33 points would have him high on the horse in most organizations, but hey, heâ€™s on the Renegades. Cry me a river, am I right? Watch him for another solid season and another steady contribution to the Renegades.

NHL Player Comparison: Evgeni Kuznetsov

67. (S18) D (Winnipeg Jets) - Zanis Zarins || +13
Grade: 28/45
Past Seasons: S21- 79

New to the Top 100 list last season, Zanis Zarins brings Latvia some additional representation here. Staking some claim as a stay-at-home defensive defenseman, itâ€™s hard to earn the glory. Yet after being a strong assist machine (26 assists) heâ€™s really made his usefulness known for the Jets. Heâ€™s climbed thirteen spots this year due to his consistent play, 78 shots blocked and almost 200 bone-crushing hits. I wouldnâ€™t be surprised if I saw his name come up for some defensive awards in the next few seasons.

NHL Player Comparison: Brent Seabrook

66. (S20) C (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Griffin Simons || New Entry
Grade: 28/45
Past Seasons: None

More magic from the Season 20 draft class, Griffin Simons is making this list as a pure rookie. His first season in the SHL was, to be quite honest, fucking ridiculous especially considering he was playing for the strong and sexy Hamilton Steelhawks. Another guy that is limited on the charts by his young age and entry to the game, if we continue seeing what weâ€™re seeing here, weâ€™ve got a future legend in the making. One might think that he was playing some freakish amount of time on ice but heâ€™s not, at just a bit under 1100. His -1 plus/minus isnâ€™t a huge deterrent as heâ€™s shown some maturity on the ice but weâ€™ll see if he ends up being consistent or if this was just a random fluke. Welcome to the big leagues, kid.

NHL Player Comparison: Alex Galchenyuk

65. (S17) D (Minnesota Chiefs) - Walter â€œHeisenbergâ€ White || -12
Grade: 29/45
Past Seasons: S20- 47, S21- 53

While playing consistent in the points category from last season to this, there is not enough crystal meth in the world that could fuel the Chiefs to the playoffs after last season. The bulk of the team had a plus/minus in the double digits and Walter White was no different with a -16. Despite solid play for the Chiefs, it seems the recipe wasnâ€™t quite right to make the magic happen that they needed from him. Hopefully Minnesota will find the right mixture of chemistry this season to pull them out of the nose dive that theyâ€™re in. Listen, White gave it his all out there but sometimes itâ€™s just not enough. Hopefully he can help the team get it together before theyâ€™re all living in an RV out in the desert.

NHL Player Comparison: Johnny Boychuk

64. (S20) D (West Kendall Platoon) - Bojo Biscuit || New Entry
Grade: 29/45
Past Seasons: None

Another Season 20 player making it on the list, this oneâ€™s a fan-favorite. He became a household name almost instantly and he put in consistent time and effort to build one hell of a brand. Fortunately for him, thatâ€™s built on incredibly solid play as a defenseman for the West Kendall Platoon. 35 points and 68 shots blocked, averaging 24.21 minutes per game is a big haul for a guy in his second year but itâ€™s paying off for the Aztecsâ€¦.erâ€¦ Platoon. With Miami nearby, there was easy room for distraction (though a dramatic shortage of actually-good biscuits) but he didnâ€™t let that get to him. The spotlight has served him best on the ice and while heâ€™s only coming in at number 64, look for his name a little higher up on the charts next season. He will be a dominant force in the East and will prove himself as a solid defenseman in all three zones.

NHL Player Comparison: Dougie Hamilton

63. (S18) D (Edmonton Blizzard) - Magnus Vikstrand || +0
Grade: 29/45
Past Seasons: S20- 88, S21- 63

Magnus Vikstrand didnâ€™t move at all on the charts this year and while a solid defenseman, his record is tarnished by the Blizzards lack of sunshine. 29 points, 62 shots blocked and what weâ€™ve seen as 4 full seasons of concerted effort, his hard work and play has cemented him a spot just below the midpoint on this list. One area to really pay attention to him is on the power play. He posted 13 of his 29 points there and he seems to find the back of the net or the man with the cannon quite often. Hopefully the Blizzard will take advantage of his talents and help him take his ranks among quality young defenders in the league.

NHL Player Comparison: Nick Leddy

62. (S19) G (Los Angeles Panthers) - Jackson Weekes || +13
Grade: 29/45
Past Seasons: S20- 91, S21-75

Again, goalies are hard to plug into this list but Weekes has found his way to number 62 in only a few Years. With a save percentage of 90.4 a Goals Against Average of 2.53 and a shut out, he was in the Top 5 goalies for keeping the puck out of the net this season. His record of 22-18-6 helped keep the Panthers competitive last season and I expect he will play at least the full 46 heâ€™s permitted to this upcoming season and hopefully for them, well into the Playoffs. Up thirteen spots this year, heâ€™s really making a name for himself in the starting spot.

NHL Player Comparison: Jake Allen

61. (S9) LW (Edmonton Blizzard) - Lucas Smith || -6
Grade: 30/45
Past Seasons: S20-54, S21-55

Lucas Smith a.k.a Old Man Rivers has been around for 13 seasons now. Holy shit. I mean, thatâ€™s some dedication to the league. A career Blizzard, heâ€™s seen his fair share of sunshine and snow. No longer a top-liner or top scorer for the Blizzard, it seems his primary role on the team is to be a strong support player and a mentor for the younger guys. He is a strong scaffold to rebuild a once-glorious Championship team upon and heâ€™ll do so over time. For many of the younger guys, they would be served well by establishing that relationship and taking his wisdom now before he retires where he began, leaving them without that sense of history and respect for the older, better day. Down only 6 spots, this is a solid spot for him to be in.

There are 4 players who jumped up over 20 spots, but could not crack the top 50.

Can anyone guess who they are?
