At 89 is Winnipeg Jets forward Elyk, who fell off the planet after a steady decline from his S29 ranking. Elyk scored only 8 goals and 24 points on the season, something we have not seen from him since his early days, and with regression starting to take its toll it is possible Elyk may no longer be the player he used to be. Not to mention defensively he had a terrible year, -22 overall with only 43 hits and nothing else to brag about.
88. (S24) D (Seattle Riot) - Jack Burton || Returning Entry
Average Grade: 75 Past Seasons: S28-102, S29-79, S30-92
Who says defensive players never get recognition? Burton is back at it after taking a break from the list last season. Burton's numbers are likely not the reason why he is on this list, as he only scored 17 points with half the hits from S30, but he blocked a ton of shots and continued to play a ton of minutes on the penalty kill. Burton is not the kind of guy we are expecting to win any major awards any time soon, but he surely is a man who is dedicated to the defensive side of the game.
87. (S20) D (New England Wolfpack) - Benjamin Reid || -16
Average Grade: 75 Past Seasons:S22-90, S23-66, S24-73, S25-35, S26-33, S27-9, S28-34, S29-49, S30-52, S31-71
At 87 is defenseman Benjamin Reid, who falls further in the rankings despite an increase in production. Reid scored 8 goals and 28 points, more in both categories than S30, but unfortunately that hasn't been enough to really bring him back up to his glory day rankings. Reid has been but a shadow of his former self when it comes to offensive production, and while his defensive game has been incredible and has led his team to back to back championships, he is being ignored due to the wealth of talent that the younger generation is providing.
86. (S28) D (Los Angeles Panthers) - Marc-Andre Malkin || New Entry
Average Grade: 75.17 Past Seasons: None
At 86 is newcomer Marc-Andre Malkin who after a couple of so-so years has had a breakout performance in S31. He scored 7 goals, 35 points, and was one of very few bright spots on a rebuilding Steelhawks team. Malkin remains a talent in the league despite now claiming his home in Los Angeles of the Western Conference, but that should in no way prevent him from continuing his solid performances. Shouldn't be long before his two-way game flourishes, as his 109 shot blocks was incredible, even despite being on a weaker team.
85. (S25) C (Los Angeles Panthers) - Ryan King || New Entry
Average Grade: 75.50 Past Seasons: None
Another new entry is Ryan King of the Los Angeles Panthers, who himself also had a breakout season, but this time due to joining a new team and having a major improvement due to chemistry with his new teammates. King posted 18 goals and 34 points, along with 175 shots (a career high), and has started to get to his goal-scoring prime. Now he may not be a goal scoring behemoth like some of those we have seen in the past, but King is turning out to be a great asset for the Panthers in S32.
84. (S22) RW (Seattle Riot) - Pavel Bursyuk || -30
Average Grade: 75.50 Past Seasons: S27-51, S28-53, S29-8, S30-29, S31-54
At 84 is long-time Riot winger Pavel Bursyuk, who falters once again after what looked to be a promising turn in S28. Since then, he has not posted an offensive season better than the last, and this time has had his worst season since S25. Bursyuk scored 10 goals and only 22 assists, improved on hits, but overall didn't really wow in any intangible category, which was disappointing all things considered. Bursyuk appears to be one of those forwards with a short prime, but even though regression has only started to hit, it seems he will be one of the many players who is hit hard and fast with age.
83. (S25) RW (Minnesota Chiefs) - Michael Gerrard || +13
Average Grade: 75.67 Past Seasons: S31-96
At 83 is Chiefs forward Michael Gerrard, who is considered in the hockey state to be an unsung hero of sorts. Gerrard has hit a career high of 32 points, is now being used for more responsible roles, and even was arguably the Chief's MVP in their short playoff stint. Gerrard hasn't done much else other than provide some offense, but many say that his offensive prowess is just getting started. Of course many more say that Gerrard won't be much more than what we have seen, and if he doesn't continue to update he will remain as such. Still, not a bad pickup for the Chiefs considering where he was drafted.
82. (S27) G (Free Agent) - Selena Bauer || -5
Average Grade: 75.83 Past Seasons: S31-77
At 82 is Selena Bauer, shamed goaltender who is one of the famous disappointments in recent SHL history. Bauer had such a high potential, and the Rage used her quite well in S30 where she went 13-9 and looked to be on the up and up. However that quickly changed, as she was moved to the Admirals and had a losing record as their starter. Now, she has no team to actually play for, and it seems that nobody will touch her with a ten foot pole. What happened to this career to where it stopped so suddenly? Quite unfortunate.
81. (S20) LW (New England Wolfpack) - Blake Sherrill || -21
Average Grade: 76 Past Seasons: S23-83, S24-85, S25-68, S26-70, S27-52, S28-44, S29-54, S30-60, S31-60
At 81 is Wolfpack forward Black Sherrill, one of many who has been incredibly comfortable in New England and has no intentions of leaving. Sherrill scored 14 goals and 29 points, which is a major drop from his five straight 40+ point seasons and looks to be a sign of him falling off and no longer being much of a contributor out there. Sherrill is definitely not the player he used to be, but considering his consistency on the ice the Wolfpack made a great deal in drafting him back in S20, and with their recent success they have no regrets about this pick.
At 80 is one of the great careers of our time, which is unfortunately starting to taper off after so many years in dominance. Onoprienko is perhaps the greatest player of this list. Seven straight appearances in the top-10, multiple 50+ point seasons, and even now is still contributing despite his advanced age. His 15 goals and 27 points may be the worst total he has posted since his rookie year, but many players would have been overjoyed to have that kind of production even for a short time. Onoprienko is a first ballot hall of famer, no question, and while this may be his last time in the limelight, he will not be forgotton.
