Yes, and it is already a wrap at this point. People are pointing out Kholin but sure, go ahead. Let us say that Kit gets passed in points by him. Kit still averages 2 minutes less on the ice. Kholin is not some physical specimen and is out to try here unless he puts together a tremendous turn around.

Julio is without a doubt the best the best junior prospect in the game right now. He is leading the league in scoring, which isn't unexpected for such a talent. Being his line-mate, I can also confirm that he is as great a person off the ice as he is on the ice. His game and attitude will translate to the SHL game and I don't see his production dropping off any time soon. @Julio Tokolosh

It's become clear that the torch has officaly been passed to the S39 draft class as the dominant force in the SHL.

Against: I think it's really difficult for one draft class to dominate the SHL. Sure classes like to say they're changing the landscape of the league or whatever but really there just aren't enough players in each class to make that happen and players between about 800 and 2000 can be first line or first pairing players. Based on that I have to say no, but I do think that S39 is currently the draft class with the most TPE currently in the SHL right now.

Not going to happen, they just don't have the right energy this season. They should bounce back next season and get back into the playoffs but this is the year of random bullshit.

BS. Manhattan has all the energy they can get, I am afraid of their jacked bear or whatever, and you should be too. Also I read they encourage filtering out, then snorting the electrolytes from Gatorade drinks, sports science has grown so much!

Totally agree, even though it's BS. S36 has 2,180 more TPE in the SHL right now over the S39 class. It's a nice idea to think that S39 may be currently on top, but they're totally not. Just not a good enough group. So it's fair to say S39 is clearly the best thing to ever happen to this league?

Retired players Andrew Martin (22 points in 23 games) and Connor Tanner (24 points in 23 games) in there final seasons will end up 1 and 2 in the most improved player award voting.

For

I agree, can´t underestimate the ´one more year´ mentality where the players who are retiring after the season know that it´s now or never. Tanner has been great in Edmonton and there really is no reason why his play would slow down. Martin over in Hamilton plays less, so I´d say it´s more likely he will finish second in the most improved race against Tanner.

There is no doubt that this is the case. Tokolosh has been dynamic in his time with Colorado and has continued to improve immensely from the time he was drafted. While some were originally hesitant at the idea of a cow playing hockey it has become clear that they are the dominant species when it comes to hockey.

AGAINST: Obviously the best prospect not in the SHL yet is from the Colorado Raptors, but it's not Julio Tokolosh. That title belongs to the one and only Knute Knurtsson (@Ason94), who is gearing up for a very successful rookie season with the Pride.

Agree, all of the post S39 players are getting older, and they aren't getting any better. I would say they have passed the torch and it's the S39 Class as the best in the SHL now, but of All-Time that's a different story.

Code:
The Hamilton Steelhawks who are currently leading the Eastern conference are a bigger surprise then the Winnipeg Jets who are currently leading the Western conference.

Agree, it isn't a surprise Winnipeg is on top of the west, but Hamilton is a surprise for sure, It isn't every day you see Hamilton come from 3rd in their division on my list, and a couple other people's lists to become the first place in conference. Great Achievement by them.

Code:
highly skilled rookie 'Cody', playing in a league of capped forwards, will capture the SMJHL S48 goal-scoring title.

Disagree, I feel Julio has it as the scoring title, we will see if it becomes true, but I feel that Julio Tokolosh has it in the bag, he has been in the lead for awhile, and he will keep it going.

Code:
Retired players Andrew Martin (22 points in 23 games) and Connor Tanner (24 points in 23 games) in there final seasons will end up 1 and 2 in the most improved player award voting.

I could imagine they would these were career years, great years to end on. They will hopefully become hall of famers in the time to come, but that will be a little further out so let's say I personally think Tanner 1, and Martin 2 because Connor improved a little more than Martin did.

Code:
The Manhattan Rage (6-13-4) who are currently in last place will storm back in the 2nd half and capture 1 of the 5 playoff spots in the Western Division.

Disagree, I think it's rough to come back, I think the team will sell shop, and look to improve the team next season, and they can hopefully improve via draft and by their players it's a huge offseason coming up.

Code:
Minnesota's surprising 13-9 start is backed by the strongest *top line* in the SHL in Eric Pelletier, Bobby Watson and Terrance Nova.

Agree, it's the strongest Forward line right now. There is no doubt that it will be a team that people look forward to when it comes to playoff time. That has a few teams worried as well it's the equaling of Boston's "perfection line" outside of the NHL Finals.

Code:
Following in Kelowna and St. Louis footsteps of repeating as champions, the Anaheim Outlaws, currently at the top of the SMJHL standings will win the Four Star Cup for the second season in a row.

Agree, they will get their they have a few pieces they have to get into the lineup before it happens, but it should be a team to watch out for here soon. I think anywhere in the next 2 seasons they should be top contenders for the four star.

Code:
In this skilled rookie class, Chicago forward Kit Smeb will win the rookie of the year award.

Agreed, one of the best players in the rookie class, will be one of the higher guys in the contention for it, but their are a lot of young talented rookies who could get the rookie of the year as well.

Code:
Tampa Bays 14-5 start should come as no surprise as they boast the most talented young line up in the East.

Yeah I would agree to them being the most talented young line up, they should be a dynasty come soon probably, You won't see it in the next 2 seasons, but the team will be big in the future upcoming years.

Code:
After a change in management, the Lethbridge Lions will finish in the top 5 of the SMJHL standings.

I think they have another couple years of building before that happens, the team doesn't boast a huge range of talent quite yet, but they could here very soon.

Code:
Some surprising new names are leading the league in total points which includes Lil Manius (29 points), Shooter McGavin (29 points) and Anders Christiansen (28 points) .. one of these 3 will win this seasons point title.

I agree, if they don't let up off the gas they certainly will, they have some of the top scoring early in the season, and individually if they can keep that up, it's going to be a mad riot when it comes to 2 of the 3 not winning it with all the hard work they have put into getting to where they are at.

Code:
The Best juniors prospect in the world is named Julio Tokolosh of Colorado.

Agree, don't really have an argument for or against because I don't really see why he isn't the best there is right now, we will see here soon if that is about to change with a couple players, but I highly doubt anyone beats him out this year.

Dang still more teps than S39 eh? That's weird to think because looking at the TPE tracking spreadsheet rank by rank S39 is ahead of S36 and has more players but I suppose it's possible that S36 has more players actually in the SHL and S39 has a lot of unsigned inactives

Quote:Tampa Bays 14-5 start should come as no surprise as they boast the most talented young line up in the East.

This shouldn't be a surprise, not because they boast a talented line-up, but because of their schedule and the variety of luck. If you look at the first part of their schedule, they etched out close wins the majority of the way (1-2 goal wins) and largely succeeded off high shooting percentages and save percentages. They weren't really able to hold their own against the best of the league still. They're now 5-5-4 in their last 14, which is a lot more accurate to their level as a more .500 level team and likely will regress to be a slightly below average team as the season continues on and they reset back to normal luck variation and likely losing a lot more of those 1-goal and 2-goal games that they managed to eke out before.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

Thanks to Jackson, Copenhagen, and Harry Hans!

I will admit that Manhattan has the best steroids money can buy and last I heard they were pioneering a new advanced blood doping technique using Gorilla DNA. That being said I feel like it's too much of a climb.
