Congratulations to my man <a href='index.php?showuser=2060' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>RainDelay</a> on Matt Lewis Flood's worthy inclusion to this list.
39. (S21) RW (Calgary Dragons) - Tommy Creller || +6
Average Grade: 84.50 Past Seasons: S22-99, S23-40, S24-38, S25-11, S26-51, S27-20, S28-25, S29-30, S30-68, S31-45
After a big drop for Season 30, veteran Tommy Creller continues to be a mainstay in the top half of this list. Ranking in at number 39 this season after a 21 goal, 45 point performance in Season 31, the longtime Rage forward has thrived with two new teams in the past two seasons. In Season 32, he will be playing for another new team in the Calgary Dragons, his fourth team in four seasons. Now two seasons into regression, Creller will have to work hard to maintain his position in the top 50 next season. However, he has been a strong player in the SHL for many seasons now so while the odds are stacked against him, Creller could easily prove us wrong.
38. (S21) RW (Los Angeles Panthers) - Jorma Ruutu || -9
Average Grade: 84.50 Past Seasons: S28-91, S29-35, S30-34, S31-29
Ruutu, a late bloomer in the league, has been a model of consistency over the past few seasons with the Los Angeles Panthers. This season he comes in at 38th, marking the fourth straight season in the top 40. While his 37 points are a small decline from seasons past, Ruutu is still pounding bodies on the ice, finishing Season 31 with 121 hits. One of the best power forwards in the league, Ruutu will have to continue to make efforts to prevent his age from catching up with him, especially if he is using his body as much as he has over the course of his career. And, for the Panthers, they will be hoping Ruutu can maintain his level of play for, at least, the next few seasons as the team looks to start competing for cups after a short rebuild.
37. (S25) LW (West Kendall Platoon) - Adam Falk || -13
Average Grade: 84.67 Past Seasons: S30-76, S31-24
After Falk’s breakout performance in Season 30 with 54 points, he came back down to earth in Season 31, scoring just 39 points but actually improving upon his goal-scoring total from 20 to 21. This season, Falk will be playing for a team other than the Toronto North Stars for the first time in his career after with the Platoon after asking out. He will be entering a good situation where he will likely be West Kendall’s top forward for the time being and we very well could see him returning to his level of play in Season 30. But, Falk’s motivation to have a long career has been put in jeopardy and he very well may be a player who has a strong yet short peak, suffering heavily once regression hits. For West Kendall, this is a risk that they are strongly hoping will pay off for them in the form of a cup.
36. (S24) RW (West Kendall Platoon) - Ray Pejonis || +62
Average Grade: 84.83 Past Seasons: S31-98
At 24 we have another Platoon forward, this one being Ray Pejonis who makes a huge jump on this list after a breakout 45 point performance. His 22 goals and +26 rating in Season 31 led his team and it is likely he will continue to be a very important player for West Kendall, especially with the departure of Zalleras Szlerchek. Because of this, Season 32 will be a defining season for Pejonis’ career as he looks to prove that last season was not some aberration and that he is a true first line forward.
35. (S20) D (Buffalo Stampede) Fredrich Muller || -27
Average Grade: 85.67 Past Seasons: S21-102, S22-47, S23-38, S24-66, S25-54, S26-75, S27-66, S28-75, S29-41, S30-20, S31-8
After a career-high top 10 ranking for Season 31, Friedrich Muller has dropped down to 27th on this list after his first season with the Buffalo Stampede. In his twelfth consecutive season in the Top 100, Muller will be looking to improve upon his 31 point season in Season 31, down from 45 the year prior. The light-hitting veteran defenseman will be relied upon heavily by the Stampede as they desperately look to make the playoffs this year. Muller has the skill and experience to help make it happen – the only question is if the young guns will step up to the plate.
For the eleventh season in a row, winger Jed Lloren makes his mark on the list at 34. Season 31 was a bit of a resurgence for the forward who was ranked 19th and 21st in Seasons 25 and 26, respectively, as he scored 20 goals and 45 points while using his body fairly well. While most of last season was spent with the Stampede, he was moved to the Riot at the deadline to help the Riot make the playoffs and he certainly made the most of his short time with the team, scoring 9 points in 10 games. If that was an indication of anything to come, Lloren could very well see a rise in his ranking in his 13th season since being drafted.
33. (S25) C (Winnipeg Jets) - Luke Fleming || +4
Average Grade: 85.83 Past Seasons: S29-100, S30-79, S31-37
Fleming had always been a highly heralded player and with his Season 31 performance, he has truly cemented himself among the league’s best, seeing a ranking increase to 33. While his point total declined from 52 to 38, he put on display just how well-rounded a player he is, racking up 127 hits and winning more than 50% of his faceoffs. While the Jets are going through a rough patch after a period of dominance, Fleming is a player who will be a tremendously important part of the team moving forward.
32. (S26) G (Texas Renegades) - Christoffer Björnsson || +23
Average Grade: 86.17 Past Seasons: S31-55
The journeyman goaltender continued to put on display for the league his ability in Season 31 for the Rage, saving 91.5% of shots faced despite playing on a fairly weak team. His play was good enough to see an increase on this list to 32 and to earn a contract from the Texas Renegades, who will be his third team in three seasons. The Renegades have been a solid team for many seasons now; playoff success, however, has eluded them as of late. They will be hoping that Björnsson can be that missing piece that they’ve been looking for to become more competitive in a tight Western Conference. And he very well may be.
31. (S22) D (West Kendall Platoon) - Ales Smirnov || +15
Average Grade: 86.17 Past Seasons: S26-84, S27-58, S28-93, S29-56, S30-47, S31-46
At 31 we have Platoon defenseman Ales Smirnov, who continues to climb on this list. His climb on the rankings is very well deserved as he has put together a solid stretch of performances season to season. In Season 31, he reached the 40 point milestone for the second season in a row as he scored 14 goals and 33 assists. However, Smirnov is not the prototypical physical defenseman, picking up just 58 hits as he prefers to do damage offensively. With Wagner, Maximova, and McDoodle also part of the team’s defensive corps, the Platoon have one of the best groups of defensemen in the SHL.
30. (S25) RW (Texas Renegades) - Geoffrey Allen || +19
Average Grade: 86.50 Past Seasons: S28-72, S29-73, S30-87, S31-49
After making his debut in the top 50 for Season 31, Geoffrey Allen proved his Season 30 play in which he scored 48 points was no fluke. With 20 goals and 45 points to his name in Season 31, he slots in here at 30 and is establishing himself as a premier player in the SHL. A first round draft pick by the Renegades back in Season 25, Allen has certainly proven his worth to the team and is truly one of the Renegades’ top players. In Season 32, expect Allen to continue to prove that he is among the league’s best, as he likely will do for many seasons to come.
