S20 Season Preview:
Eastern Conference: Hamilton Steelhawks: ![]() Trades: To ![]() S20 3rd (HAM) S21 3rd (TEX) S22 2nd (TEX) $1,500,000 To ![]() Jordan Hall's UFA Rights S22 3rd (HAM) Seattle gives Alens Paurs ![]() Hamilton gives Rights to Ammon Tutankhamen S20 5th To ![]() S20 2nd ![]() S20 2nd ![]() Nathan Wong To ![]() S20 1st ![]() S20 5th ![]() Kein Monesti Players added: Kein Monesti Alens Paurs Friedrich Muller Griffin Simmons Jakob Tanner Players lost: Jordan Hall Ammon Tutankhamen Nathan Wong Have they improved? No, Jordan Hall was an all-star last season and he is a big part of the team making the challenge cup finals. He is a talented player, with a physical and defensive specialist. He is a big player and knows how to step up his level of play in the playoffs. He is a proven regular season winner and he has never been on a team that was bellow .500. Hamilton is still a team that is going to be a threat to win the eastern conference despite the lost. The steelhawks have lost another forward to the Seattle riots, Tutankhamen, will be a player that Hamilton is going to miss a lot. However, they still have a deadly top six in Miller, Blaine, Jakobsen, Winter , Mckeil and Willems plus Cant,Schultz and Sto Heilt should be good enough to shut down the other teams top lines. This is still an elite top six in the league. They are still challenge cup contenders. The steelhawks drafted defence men Friedrich Mulle,r who should have around 320-350TPE to start the season. He will be a replacement for Jordan Hall, Is he ready for getting almost 40 points a season, no but he will be a solid long term replacement for sure f he stays in Hamilton. He should be a Franchise defender. Griffin Simmons adds some Center Depth, which is something that Hamilton isn’t lacking with Mckeil,Winter,Krumins, Monesti already centers on the big club. Winter and Mckeil are both aging so maybe getting a Center that will replace one of them would boost their future. There is no question, that there is some doubt about Ask being a Number one goal, Griffin, who was expected to be their #1 goalie has yet to prove he could be one. The Steel hawks took, Jakob Tanner to be their future number one goalie, now they are pretty deep at the most important position in hockey. These three players will joun Jakobsen, Krumins as the future of hockey in Hamilton. Manhattan Rage: ![]() Trades: To ![]() Benjamin Wong $5,000,000 S20 Budget To ![]() S20 6th ![]() S21 1st ![]() S21 5th ![]() To ![]() Phil Schenn To ![]() S20 5th ![]() S21 1st ![]() To ![]() Rights to Alexandre Daigle To ![]() S22 EDM 4th Round Pick S21 EDM 5th Round Pick* To ![]() FA rights to Yousuf Scherbluk To ![]() Edm s20 7th Edm s22 5th ![]() 1st Overall S21 TOR 2nd ![]() Azriel Stryfe S20 MAN 4th S20 4 Mil Cap Space To ![]() S20 6th To ![]() Rights to Darian Scherbluk 500k s20 budget Players added: Chuck Goody Arton Laxk Players lost: Rights to Darian Scherbluk FA rights to Yousuf Scherbluk Rights to Alexandre Daigle Azriel Stryfe Ben Wong Phil Schenn Have they improved? Fuck, no. They have not improved at all. Phil schenn, Ben Wong and Azriel Stryfe are some of the most talented players in the league at their positions. Losing these three players is going to create holes on their roster. I don’t think the Rage is a play-off team no more. Their future as being power houses is over as Kickz,Nugent-Hall, Winnifeild have all retired. Trading away Yousuf,Darain Scherbulk rights guarantees that they wont be playing for Manhattan. Darian is one of the best defensemen ever. Yousuf is a skilled center and is usually good for 40 points. Alex Daigle is a talented 3rd line scorer; he is a depth player that could score 10 goals a season, easy. They lost a lot of players on a team that made the conference finals last season. It is going to be interesting who they draft with the 1st overall pick as they can get a franchise player. In the draft, they picked up Chuck Goody who is going to be the teams future number one defencemen, he is going to be a very important player on a team that looks to build on the defensive side of the game. The next pick they pick goaltender Arton Laxk, who is the best goalie in the draft. These two players, will make the Rage have the potential to be one of the best defensive teams in the league for sure. What they lost: 61 goals 130 assists 191 points No way, any team can replace this production with youth in the league unless they have some chemistry with some players. They need their depth players to step up or they will be fighting for last place in the league. Minnestoa Chiefs: ![]() Trades: None so far. Players added: Jamie Hawkins Pedro Sarantez Players lost: None, it is always good no to lose a player in a off-season in a rebuild. Have the improved? They are going to be a better team next season for sure. They were the worst team in the league and really had no super star talent. They lacked scoring as they scored under 2 goals per game. They need to work on that or they will miss the playoffs next season. I think their defensive side of the game will improve and is going to be a strength of their roster. They are going to be a mid-teir team when it comes to allowing goals. They need to work on 5 on 5 play, they need to get stronger, add more size to help compete against some of the leagues elite. Their players +/_ rating was terribad, they need to focus on becoming a team that clicks on 5 on 5. Without good 5 on 5 play, you will never be a successful team in the league, plain and simple. This team added one of the best wing prospects in the super draft in Jamie Hawkins, who will help this team score more goals in a season or two. Pedro Sarantez is another top wing prospects. I think Chiefs have addressed the weakness of this team with their youth but usually it takes awhile for prospects to become stars. This team however has a plan and are looking to build a very good offensive team once Sarantez and Hawkins make the big club and everyone is developed. New England Wolfpack: ![]() Trades: To ![]() Benjamin Wong $5,000,000 S20 Budget To ![]() S20 6th ![]() S21 1st ![]() S21 5th ![]() To ![]() Phil Schenn To ![]() S20 5th ![]() S21 1st ![]() Players added: Phil Schenn Ben Wong Marek vyskoc Kaspars Tsizling Benjamin reid Nicklas Wikstrom Nathan Russell Sam Samsinov Dean Colt Keith Trubackev Blake Sherill Le Scuker Yuri Boyka Jakub Krejci Willie Weber Players lost: Next year Picks. Have they improved? Yes, They added two pertinall all-stars to their roster, giving one of the best players a great supporting cast and they have jumped a shit ton on a lot of potential free agents rankings, after all the moves that they have completed. I feel this team, may or may not improve. They were a team that was working 120% above their skill level, but again if they are able to find the magic that they had last season with more talented hockey players I think this team is going to have the chance to win a championship next season, east has gotten a lot weaker as the two eastern conference final teams are entering a rebuild/retool. Hamilton is really the only team that New England is going to worry about next season in the East. Them trading their S21 picks won’t weaken the team’s chances of becoming one of the best teams in the eastern conference for many seasons to come. They have four first round picks in one of the strongest drafts that the league has seen. They are going to add four players that will improve their hockey club this season. This is going to be the leagues Edmonton Oilers but they are actually going to be successful, as they have made the playoffs in their rebuilding season. This team is going to attract a lot of free agents. Ben Reid is one of the best defensemen in this draft. Nicklas WIkstrom adds some offensive punch to the youth. Nathan Russell plays the wing will add some depth up front for the team. This team has added a lot of great prospects halfway through the draft,. It would take hours for me to explain and go through on how good the New England Wolfpack will be. They are going to have troubles keeping this team together but if they do, they will dominate the league for many seasons to come. This is the team people will want to sign with. This is now the best franchise in the SHL and they have the potential to be one of the most dominating teams in the league history if everyone reaches their potential and they all click. They just added one of the best defensemen in the league in Willie Weber. He is going to add size and talent to the back end and makes this team the favorite to win in the east. I think these guys will be in the challenge cup final next season unless they don’t find chemistry with one another. They might have made too many changes to their roster Toronto North Stars: ![]() Trades: TOR Receives: 37th oa 61st oa WPG Receives: 47th oa 51st oa ![]() 1st Overall S21 TOR 2nd ![]() Azriel Stryfe S20 MAN 4th S20 4 Mil Cap Space Players added: Azriel Stryfe Mike Schimdt Landon Dresnar Kristian Eriksson Barney Stinson Toki Wartooth Chester Cunningham James Adkins Darian Scherbulk Players lost: 2nd overall pick Have they improved? Yes, Stryfe is one of the best defenders in the league; he will add stability to the back-end on one of the youngest teams in the league. Toronto and New England are going to be the powerhouses of the east for the next couple of seasons. This team is going to make the playoffs next season in mind. Toronto is going to be apart of the top three teams in the eastern conference. However if they make the finals, they will lose to any western conference team. This team as a bright future in this league, they have added a lot of great prospects this draft and will fight with New England for the best team in the eastern conference for the next couple of seasons. Both are already playoff teams that are just getting better and better. These two teams will be deep if they can somehow stay together. They have a goalie and are building some nice prospects at every position. They need to get the chemistry going this season if they want a shot at a cup right now or in the future. Scherbulk gives Toronto one of the best defenses in the league. Him and Stryfe have played together before so chemistry isn’t an issue here. This team is going to challenge in the Eastern conference now. People say that the western conference is the strongest conference, in a couple of seasons. The league elite will be playing the eastern conference and all six teams will be capable to challenge for the post-season. West Kendall Platoon: ![]() Trades: Players added: Bojo Biscuit Jed Lloren Bryson Thomaz Aviad Ratzon John Heimer-Schmidt Kari Kekkonen Players lost: 1st overall pick Have they improved? This team is going to improve, I think. They have the second best goalie prospect in the league on their roster next season so that should help them reduce their GA for next season. This team needs to draft a defensemen with the second overall pick to help stop the GA to bleed in. They have two star forwards a already and veteran forward that is retiring but is a proven goal scorer and has been always good for 30-40 points in the league. They need to add some physicality to their roster as they are quite soft and they are going to be a team that improves from what they got within their roster. if they add someone else via free agency this team is definitely going to make the post-season. They are one star player from being ahead of everyone else in the bottom three teams in the East. I don’t think that is was an accident that this team drafted, two defensemen in their first five picks. One expected to be a franchise defender. This team has two young great forward and they are building around these two young forwards the best to their abilities in a couple of seasons. The top teams in the east will be the Platoon, Wolfpack and the North Stars awhile the future in Hamilton is uncertain and Manhattan is rebuilding and Chiefs really haven’t got out of their rebuild but they might if they can get lucky. Western Conference: Calgary Dragons: ![]() Trades: Players added: Sachimo Zoidberg Gil Lemar Players lost: No one Have they improved? I think they have gotten younger, which is something that the Dragons have doen for the past couple of seasons. They are a very compeeive team in a very tight western conference where all six teams in the conference could make the play-offs. They are a hard working team and build with some stars in every position almost like Barkov,Valentine and Verminski who are the leaders of this team right now. I don’t think they are a power house team but every game is going to be close against these guys and it is going to very interesting if this team makes it in the play-offs, right now I wouldn’t bet on them making the post-season. Edmonton Blizzard: ![]() Trades: To ![]() S20 2nd ![]() S20 2nd ![]() Nathan Wong To ![]() S20 1st ![]() S20 5th ![]() Kein Monesti To ![]() Rights to Alexandre Daigle To ![]() S22 EDM 4th Round Pick S21 EDM 5th Round Pick* To ![]() FA rights to Yousuf Scherbluk To ![]() Edm s20 7th Edm s22 5th To ![]() S20 6th To ![]() Rights to Darian Scherbluk 500k s20 budget Players added: Rights to Darian Scherbluk FA rights to Yousuf Scherbluk Rights to Alexandre Daigle Players lost: S20 6th Edm s20 7th Edm s22 5th S22 EDM 4th Round Pick S21 EDM 5th Round Pick* Have they improved? Its hard to say if they improve or not, Do they re-sign Weber? Or re-sign Beliail. Daigle is gone to Texas so they lost that trade but I guess trading away a late pick isn’t all that bad for the franchise. I think theses trading for the rights moves was desperate and shows how much this team is on a leash on a rebuild, that could be coming as there could be a couple of their star players demanding out this season if they don’t make the play-offs. Or they are just pissed that they missed the playoffs and trying to make the most cost effiective way on building a team to greatest as getting these star player could change their team around in a heartbeat for sure if they click with Blizzard’s talent. They need to resign Weber, Belail and the Scherbulks bro’s to say that they have improved. Losing Weber is huge to the teams defence and really scherbulk is a very good replacement but it isn’t a major improvement on their roster same goes with Belail and Yousuf. Los Angles Panthers: ![]() Trades: To ![]() S20 4th round pick ![]() To ![]() Rights to Armin Brovalchuk Players added: Players lost: Armin Brovalchuk Have they improved? This team is in danger of missing the playoffs next season due to the fact on how much the other teams have improved, Brovalchuk is a huge piece in their offence and is going to be definitely missed for any hockey team in the league he is a great offensive secondary option, if the top guys get shut down , he still has the game to break open a game or take over a game. This is going to lose some depth off a deep hockey team. Goalies are still a problem. With a three-way battle in net it is going to be interesting who is going to come out as the best goalie out of the three. We should see what happens at training camp as this goalie battle, could be the most interesting development come pre-season on who wins the Panthers starting job. Right now they are a slightly weaker team To ![]() S20 4th round pick ![]() To ![]() Rights to Armin Brovalchuk Players added: Armin Brovalchuk Ammon Tutakhum or whatever the fuck his name is Players lost: No one. Have they improved? Yes, adding brovalchuk and Tut are improvements to the team offence, but defensively have they improved, no not really. Their problem last season was they were letting too many shots on net and too many goals in the back of the net. There is no questioning that Rose is a elite number one goalie and he could steal games, but he needs a defensive crop that could help him out once in a while. This team focused to improve Seattle Riot: ![]() Trades: To ![]() S20 4th round pick ![]() To ![]() Rights to Armin Brovalchuk Players added: Armin Brovalchuk Ammon Tutakhum or whatever the fuck his name is Players lost: No one. Have they improved? Yes, adding brovalchuk and Tut are improvements to the team offence, but defensively have they improved, no not really. Their problem last season was they were letting too many shots on net and too many goals in the back of the net. There is no questioning that Rose is a elite number one goalie and he could steal games, but he needs a defensive crop that could help him out once in a while. This team need to be focused to improve their defensive side of their game. Tut and Brovlachuk might help dominate possession in the offensive zone but really they aren’t superstars defensively and won’t be a massive help defensively which is something that they need to compete in a much stronger western conference. I think Seattle needs to be on their games to make the playoffs or they will miss it. Which really isn’t surprising at all due to the strength of the western conference. Texas Renegades: ![]() Trades: To ![]() S20 3rd (HAM) S21 3rd (TEX) S22 2nd (TEX) $1,500,000 To ![]() Jordan Hall's UFA Rights S22 3rd (HAM) Players added: Jordan Hall Alex Daigle Liam Kinsler Players lost: Have they improved? Yes, Jordan Hall will add two way shut ability and face-off wining ability two things that the renegades lack last season. He is a legit number one center in the league and he and creates something out of nothing. Shut down opposing top lines all by him. Plus with Bryde on his line a sniping, two-way player. He is going to find a lot of success with him. This was a very smart add for the renegades. Daigle is a skilled sniper that is going to score a lot of goals this season playing on Salmon’s wing. Salmon is a elite passer in the league and he is going to enjoy feeding the puck to Daigle. Kinsler is a guy that will provide scoring depth on the third line. He will pot the odd goal or two every 5 or 10 games, which is something that they need from a player on the 3rd line just a good timely goal to start a comeback to take the lead in a hockey game. He will be a character guy on the ice. Every team needs an effective offensive 3rd line that will produce offense when it is lacked on the 1st, or the 2nd line as they could get shut down everyone once in awhile by the leagues best defensemen. But having a third line to score makes it a match-up hell and Kinsler adds the depth that will give Texas a very hard team to match-up against on a nightly basis. Forward depth is looking strong and Texas now can move Gauither back to defense a more natural position for the puck moving defensemen. This is going to give fourfour better save percentage numbers and GAA will be much lower this season. I think they will have better puck possession numbers this season as winning more face-offs will be a key for that plus Hall has a player has been one of the best team players in the league and has always been a playoff team and is averaging 30 wins a season as a professional, this is a weird stat to look at but it is true. Hall is going to be one of the best free agent signings/acquiring this off-season as he gives Texas strength, which is down the middle. Which is something that is very important on a potential challenge cup winning team. Winnipeg Jets: ![]() Trades: TOR Receives: 37th oa 61st oa WPG Receives: 47th oa 51st oa Players added: Players lost: Dean Clarke Have they improved? no, Clarke is a great top four defensemen are they still a play-off team, maybe. The west has gotten a lot stronger and all six teams are playing for 4 spots. If you lose a player of significance without adding a player that replaces that production, you are going to be in trouble for sure. You got the Renegades adding Jordan Hall one of the leagues best centers. The Blizzard has a lot of potential to be successful if they sign the Scherbulk bros and keep Weber and Belail on their team somehow. If they do Winnipeg could be in trouble of missing the playoff next season. They were the challenge cup champions in S19 and if they miss the playoffs it is going to be a big shock. In a conference where every team in the conference has a great goalie its going to be tough for the Jets to rely on Prikilus to win hockey games next season. [u][b]Most Improved teams: 1. New England Wolfpack 2.Seattle Riot 3. Texas Renegades 4.Toronto North Stars 5.Los Angles Panthers 6. Winnipeg jets 7. Calgary Dragons 8. West Kendall Platoon 9. Hamilton Steelhawks 10. Minnesota Chiefs 11. Edmonton Blizzards 12. Manhattan Rage No question to doubt that the New England Wolfpack is the most improved team in the league adding schenn, wong and weber + a shit ton of prospects will make any team a top of this list. Riot added two players that will add depth up front so they don’t have to rely on Merica and Mczherl for offence. Texas added Jordan Hall, Alex Daigle. Two guys that make a locker room great and active. Gives them depth up front and star power. Toronto added Manhattan’s Top pair and it will give the youth of the team some support. L.A got a tad worse but I think it will allow them to get better. Jets lost only one player but found a replacement for him which isn’t as bad as some people. Dragons didn’t get worse or better from outside their roster. Platoon is the Platoon and will remain one of the biggest jokes in the league. Steelhawks might have had the worse off-season in quite some time by losing Hall and Tut and plus the retirements of Schultz and Sto heilt this could be the teams last season at a cup before a rebuild. Chiefs same reason as the platoon but 3 of their top selections didn’t even want to play for them so good job scouting, gm’s. Blizzards losted two top pair defensemen. Rage lost a entire top line for fuck sakes a number 1 goals Kickz and JNH. They just became the worse team in the league by a good margin this off-season. Standings: West: 1.Seattle Riot 2. Texas Renegades 3.Winnipeg Jets 4.Los Angles Panthers 5.Edmonton Blizzard 6. Calgary Dragons Seattle, gaining two star forwards in Brovalchuk and Tutamhukan, will give them a huge boost offensively and maybe give them one of the strongest top sixes in the league with Brovalchuk,Tut,Mczherl,Merica,King and Manning. This will give the edge on many teams in the league. Texas added one of the bets centers in the league., this off-season. Plus another rumored signing(Daigle)coming up will give them a strong top nine, one that shouldn’t be messed with. Their forwards are deep, they have 4 solid defensemen that can shut down and create offence. Fourfour has the ability to steal hockey games. I think this team chance sin the tight west where defense is going to be huge. Their defense is strong and will be tough to score against. Fourfour will have a huge season. The Blizzard, SZtanding is all based on the fact that they resign Weber and the sign the Scherbulk bros’ this will give them a deadly offence and they are going to make the playoffs. Edmonton didn’t re-sign weber and really they will not be the same team as last season. The Los Angles Panthers lost a very good forward this season, with no one really replacing him. This might cause them to struggle this season but I think Brovalchuk could be replacement with the amount of depth that the Panthers have up front. The Winnipeg Jets will have a slow start to the season due to the Challenge cup hangover that I predict they will have. They will however they make the post-season as they have a lot of chemistry as a unit and they are the challenge cup championships and really are returning with the same roster. The Dragons are a playoff team if they play in the eastern conference. I think this will be because of Calgary of not being bad, but not nearly good enough to beat some of the elite teams in the league ahead of the=m. All six teams will be above .500 next seasons. They will beat up on the Eastern Conference teams, No east team will be .500 against the West. East: 1. New England Wolfpack 2.Hamilton Steelhawks 3.Toronto North Stars 4. West Kendall Platoon 5. Manhattan Rage 6. Minnesota Chiefs Hamilton, really are still a very talented hockey club despite their loses of Jordan Hall and Ammon Tutakaum. Manhattan, who were the second best team last season in the East, got a lot weaker and I see them not even being playoff team next season. The Toronto North Stars add a top pairing defensemen/#1 defensemen. New England is a wildcard, as they have added a lot of player to their hockey club. Last season they overachieved as everyone was clicking, does adding two players distract the locker room and they become a much weaker team? Talent wise the top three teams are at the same level. Platoon/Rage/Chiefs are going to battle it out next season for the number 4 spots. Rage still have some talent left on their roster as they have some guys that could be help them make the playoffs but they need to have a Wolf pack like season to even have a chance at the post-season. Platoon’s defense is a huge question mark at the time. They have a future #1 goalie and two guys that really seem to click together it would be interesting who they draft with the 2nd overall pick. The Chiefs are going to lack goals in my mind. They have Styrker carrying the offence up front and really aren’t proven. Kladno is a great center but not yet a top line center in the league. Sullivan and White on the back end show that defense is their strength. Chamas is a strong goalie prospect but still isn’t ready to handle being the number one center of a playoff team. A lot of questions surround the bottom three teams so whoever makes the playoffs out of these three teams will need to work on chemistry as whoever has the best chemistry out of the three teams will make the playoffs in my mind. They are just so tight and no one has become the leader. This could change as the off-season comes to an end and we get a better idea on who is the weaker team and who improves the most. NEW: New England will win the east this season, adding Weber will be a huge help to their team. He is a physical force that can’t be messed with on the ice, and he can add offence from the backend. This might have been one of the best off-season in the leagues history for the wolf pack as they had 3 stars in the league that are in my top forty players in the league list and add some of the best prospects in the league. They are going to be one of the deepest teams in the league; maybe having too much talent will make them choke harder. In a season or two they will be the most talented rosters in the league but again. In a year or two anything can change in the league, two seasons ago did you think that the Winnipeg jets are going to win the Challenge cup? Hell no, I doubt even Leafs4ever thought that they were going to have a chance of winning it in 2 seasons. Top forty Players for the upcoming season: 1.Carter O’Callahan Forward Carter O’Callahan was the best player in the league last season with the youth of his team getting better, the adding of Wong and Schenn it will give him a better supporting cast than what he had in New England last season. I think he will show another level of dominance and lead this team to a challenge cup finals appearance next season; he has the talent and the desire to do so. I expect big things out of him and his team, for next season they are easily the most improved team so far. Stat line: 30 goals 40 assissts 70 points 240 hits 30 blocked shots + 15 <u><b>2.Larius Prikluis Goalie Larius lead his team to the challenge cup, last season and he looks to be posied to do it again, next season. He has all the talents to keep his high SV% going and be the MVP of one of the strongest teams in the league. They might not have a superstar individual player but the 18 guys in front of him, step it up every night and they win hockey games. He is a huge boost to the team’s confidence as it gives them the ability to pinch or be more on the offensive. Stat line: 22 wins 18 loses 4 OTL 7 SO 2.30GAA .916%SV [u][b]3. Chris Mczherl forward Mczherl has been one of the best players in the league in the past couple of seasons. He has been an offensive threat for the Jets. Adding Brovalchuk will give Mczherl some more skill to play with other than Merica and King. Brovalchuk will give Mczherl a higher goal total than normal, as he will score more goals as a player. This is going also put the focus less on him giving some space to dangle. Stat line: 28 goals 35 assists 63 points +10 80 hits 15 blocked shots [u][b]4. Ben Wong forward Wong is playing with one of the best players in the league and he is on his last season to win a cup/ give a huge performance to end his career. He has never won a cup and playing his last season, will give him extra movtion to win it. He will be on his A+ game every game and give it a 150%, he will do anything in his power to win hockey games and one is using his skill Stat line: 30 goals 29 assists 59 points +15 70 hits 10 blocked shots [u][b]5. Alex Partlow defensemen Partlow is going to have a better season than what he had last season. He will have Hall up front helping the teams power-play. Winning face-offs. It is going to be a better season for Texas and their Roster. Partlow will be one of the best power-play quaterbacks in the league, playing a shit ton of minutes during the most important times in the hockey game. I would expect him to be close to point per game this season. Stat line: 15 goals 30 assists 45 points 100 hits 80 blocked shots +15 [u][b]6. Darian Scherbulk defensemen Scherbulk is going to have a decent year for him. He wont be the best defensemen in the league however he will be a guy that is going to rack up the points and play in important situations on whatever team he will be signing with. If he signs in Edmonton I suspect his numbers to be lower due to the fact Edmonton never been considered a individual team. They play as a team and make sure they get the W after every game. Plus if weber resigns, they will have two of the top defensemen in the league to make a difference, giving Scherbulk less of a role than he is use to. He is going to get the same numbers on the North Stars as he would on the Blizzards Stat line: 10 goals 32 assists 42 points 100 hits 75 blocked shots +15 [u][b]7. Youseuf Scherbulk forward Him, Keenan and Smith will make one of the best top lines in the league. They can make a difference offensively and defensively. They are going to be a huge part on this teams success but again, Scherbulk will need to sign in Edmonton and if he does. Prepare for Edmonton to be one of the best teams in the league by a large margin. The stats is only if he plays in Edmonton. Stat line: 25 goals 30 assists 55 points 100 hits 20 blocked shots +30 [u][b]8. Joe Mckeil forward Losing Hall and Tut will give him a weaker supporting cast but I think he can put this team on his back next season as he is use to it by now. He also has talented hockey players like Jakobsen,Blaine and Winter who have had down seasons lately and given with a bigger role with Mckeil there would be more points for Mckeil and Mckeil still has a great supporting cast. I think this will give Mckeil a pretty good year. Stat line: 25 goals 27 assists 52 points 200 hits 15 blocked shots +10 [u][b]9. Jordin Fourfour goalie Fourfour is one of the most talented goalies in the league, Texas has added one of the best Two way centers/players in the league in Hall and it will help reduce the GAA. His Face-off percentage will increase a team who’s face-off percentage that was at 47% which will increase puck possession for the hockey club. Hall’s career average on the Dot is 56%. Stat line: 27 wins 13 loses 4 otl .915sv% 2.50GAA 7shutouts [u][b]10.Brandon Donini forward Donini, last season had a very slow start to the season, he then put the Pantehrs on his back and helped them get into the playoffs, His scoring ability combined with his ability to hit everything in his way is going to improve his chances on becoming on o the best power forwards/two way forwards in the league next season. Plus with the loss of Brovalchuk, he will be expected to be a bigger player for L.A Stat line: 27 goals 23 assists 50 points +4 200 hits 10 blocked shots [u][b]11. David Winter forward David Winter was one of the best two way players in the league that was always expected to be near point per game almost every season. He was also expected to be a high scoring season. He will have more ice time and be expected more to score next season as the loses of Hall and Tut will weaken their offence. He will regain form and becoming a near point per game season next year. Stat line: 20 goals 28 assists 48 points 120 hits 10 blocked shots [u][b]12. Brian Morley forward Morley and Donini had chemistry last season together playing the wing. Morley will play like he did in the last 30 games and be a huge part on the Panthers making the post-season if they do in a very strong west, which just gets stronger and stronger every season. Stat line: 17 goals 30 assists 47 points 70 hits 10 blocked shots +10 [u][b]13. Jakub Aittokallio goalie Aittokallio is going to be considered one of the best goalies ever. He has won a shit ton of challenge cups, been great in big game situations and is a hard worker. His regular seasons performances hasn’t been great though as he has never really put Edmonton on his back and made them into one of the best teams single handily like the great goalies before him. This is an era for goalies and he is one of the best. Stat line: 29 wins 11 loses 6 OTL 6 shutouts 0.909sv% 2.50GAA [u][b]14. Jareth Sto heilt defencemen With, Hall leaving Hamilton. Sto Heilt will be expected to be a force on the back-end, She has the talents to become one of the best defenders in the league. She is a great puck moving defensemen and can shut down any top line in the league single handily. She also could be paired with Schultz or Cant, who are also some of the leagues best defensemen Stat line: 8 goals 37 assists 45 points 120 hits 60 blocked shots +15 [u][b]15. Willie Weber defencemen Weber is one of the most punishing defensemen in the league. He is a big defender with a huge mean streak. Playing against him is very tough and it is also impossible to score against. He has a big point shot and he can quarterback any power play that he wishes to do so. I don’t think it is going o matter on what team Weber signs to play for as he could be a great defensemen even if he played for the Chiefs. Weber is going to have the same season playing on the blue line on the stacked wolf pack roster. Stat line: 12 goals 28 assists 40 points 180 hits 80 blocked shots +10 [u][b]16.Jordan Hall forward Jordan Hall will be playing forward for the first time in almost 2 seasons. He is going to be a big part of a very strong offence for the Renegades. He is going to be a big help in the face-off circle, on the penalty Kill, power play and physicality play. I think he will have a break out season, next year as this is going to be the first time that he is expected to be the number one center in the league and he definitely has the talent to become one but he needs to put it together. Despite being in regression, he is one of the most talented hockey players in the league. Stat line: 20 goals 30 assists 50 points 200 hits 17 blocked shots +10 [u][b]17.Dustin Rose goalie Rose has been proven to be one of the best goalies when it comes to the post-season, He has won the Anton Razov for Play-off MVP for the seattle riot. He has had a couple of good seasons together lately. I think he comes out this season and challenges to become one of the best goalies in the league. He has a better team up front, with the additions of Brovalchuk and Tut. Who are both good defensive forwards with a ton of offensive skill. I think this is going to Rose’s breakout year and he shows why he is going to be considering one of the best goalies during his time. Stat line: 32 wins 12 loses 0 OTL 2.00GAA 0.90%SV 4 shutouts [u][b]18.Daniel Merica forward Last season, merica showed to become one of the best offensive skilled players in the league last season. He isn’t a physical player or a player that can shut down opposing lines. He can score big goals and create something out of nothing. He is one of the most exciting players in the league. He is also one of the most talked about players in the league. There is no such thing as bad publicity and this is something that this young forward thrives in. he is the center of trouble in the league and because of this people around the league will want to stop him from dominating the league. Stat line: 27 goals 20 assist 47 points 60 hits 7 blocked shot -8 [u][b]19.Mike Verminski goalie Verminski is what Prikilus is to the Jets to the Dragons, He is their best player by a large margin. He can win games all by himself and is one of the most talented goalies in the league right now. He is a calm goalie that loves to win and doesn’t get out of position at all. He is a player that is considered one of the most valuable players in the league to his team. He is a workhorse and he never gives up. He is the heart and soul of the Dragons. It isn’t surprising that the top five goalies in the league come from the western conference. Stat line: 20 wins 18 loses 6OTL 5 shutouts 2.70GAA .907sv% [u][b]20.Jermaine Tennyson goalie Finally a goalie from the eastern conference. Tennyson was one of the most important players to his team last season, It was him and CoC against the rest of the league and well, the Wolfpack won a lot of games last season to make the post-season. The Wolfpack still lack a true elite number one center and needs one to compete against the western conference teams. They have some of the best prospects in the league. With the additions from Ben Wong and Phil Schenn. Tennyson numbers will improve as they won’t be getting dominated on a nightly basis. Stat line: 27 wins 17 loses 3OTL 4 shutouts 2.65GAA .909sv% 21. Phil Schenn forward Skill wise, Phil Schenn has it all. He can dominate against any defensive pairing and score goals and help his line mate’s score. He is a good defensive forward also but he isn’t a mean son of a bitch and won’t beat you up with his body of fists. He uses his hands to score goals and with CoC being one of the best players in the league+ Wong being one of the best snipers. Schenn will get a lot of points, next season. He isn’t a physical player though. Stat line: 20 goals 27 assists 47 points 20 hits 8 blocked shots +9 22. Armin Brovalchuk forward Brovalchuk goes to Seattle, to play with Mczherl, King ,manning ,Tut and Merica. He is going to be another secondary offensive threat on whatever line that he will be one. He is on a team that has a super stacked top nine and is going to dominate the possession of every game. He is a slick passer that is very hard to hit due to his speed. He thinks the game very quickly and has a good defensive game. Stat line: 12 goals 29 assists 41 points +15 30 hits 15 blocked shots 23. Marian Potoczny forward Potoczny is a player that plays the game a lot like Brovalchuk, he is a slick passer that is very hard to hit, He is a soft forward and doesn’t like to get into the ditry areas of the game and he is a beast on the face-off circle, likes to set-up people to score and really isn’t a huge goal scorer. He is one of the best passers in the game. He is going to need to be a bigger part of the ![]() Stat line: 12 goals 40 assists 52 points -2 10 hits 8 blocked shots 24. Dave Smith defencemen Dave Smith is a good all round defencemen, he is physical when he has to be, he will be willing to go down and block shots if he has to. He is a very good skater, can pass very good and has very good offensive instincts. He can control the pace of any game and is a huge part of the Panthers team offensively and defensively. He is a great #1 defensemen on a very strong Panthers team. He needs to be having a good season, next year. He also has a very heavy point shot that can be used on the power play. Stat line: 10 goals 27 assists 37 points +12 100 hits 60 blocked shots 25.Drizzy Drake defensemen Draje offensive production, will improve this season as he has more options up front, Now having a physical force that can sit in front of the net will help him get more power-play assists. Brovalchuk will help him get set up and score more goals. Drake is one of the best offensive defensemen in the league and he will have a big season, next season for the Seattle Riot. Drake isn’t a physical force, he loves to block shots, which is a good characteristic to have for any defensemen in the league. Stat line: 15 goals 30 assists 45 points -2 40 hits 80 blocked shots 26. Azriel Strfye defensemen Strfye was the Rage’s number two defensemen, with Manhattan looking to be rebuilding for the billionth time. He is taking a larger role in Toronto, where he is expected to be the number one defensemen. He is one of the best defensive defensemen in the league, he is pretty good at moving the puck and skating for him isn’t a problem. This is a defensemen that you will championships with as he isn’t risky but a safe player that always tries to make the same play. Stat line: 5 goals 30 assists +15 140 hits 90 blocked shots 27.Kari Barkov forward Barkov is one of the best power forwards in the league; he uses his size to out muscle his opponents to get the puck. He drives hard to the net and more importantly; he never takes a shift off. He is one of the hardest working forwards in the league and he never gives up the play, or never gives up if his team is down 5 goals. He is the guy that you want to have on your team for a playoff run. He will never give up and that is the best thing about him. He knows that if he gives up, the game is lost or the series is lost. He also always makes the smart plays and isn’t a risky player like some people are. Stat line: 20 goals 20 assists 40 points +10 100 hits 15 blocked shots 28. Lucas Smith forward There isn’t a no proven winner in the Simulation Hockey league more than Lucas Smith, he has won 3 challenge cups in his career and he was the leader for all three teams offensively. He is a great two-way wing, who uses his size to outmuscle his opponents, loves to drive to the ne and is a elite power forward in the league. He may not hit everything in sight like Donini or Callahan but he isn’t a softy like Brovalchuk or Potozncy. He is the heart and soul of the Blizzards and there is a very good reason why he is the captain of the team. He is a sniper, and he doesn’t kike to use his line mates often, which is the only knock on his play. Stat Line: 25 goals 18 assists 43 points +7 80 hits 10 blocked shots 29.Logan valentine defensemen Valentine is one of the league best defensemen n the league there was a reason why that dpark nominated her to be the dragon’s candidate for the MVP award voted by the players. She is a talented puck moving defensemen. She can score, shut down and play great defensive hockey if she wanted to. This is why she is one of the best players in the league right now and is ranked 29th on my list. Next season she is going to need a big season to put the Dragons in the post-season in the very tight western conference. stat line: 13 goals 27 assists 40 points + 10 100 hits 70 blocked shots. 30.Lance Uppercutt defensemen Uppercutt is one of the best puck mo0ving defensemen in the league, he might not be one of the best shut down defenders in the league as his defensive side of the game isn’t elite or his ability to out muscle and beat up on top lines isn’t elite either but his passing, shooting, offensive awareness, ability to create something out of nothing is huge for the Winnipeg jets and their offence. He is a type of defensemen that makes the smart plays and must have an IQ over 130 at least. He never gives up on a play or in a game and he is a leader on and off the ice for the Winnipeg jets, he ahs played a ton of games and have won a ton of important games. He is a type of defensemen that thinks, the best offence is the best defense. You can’t get scored on in the offensive zone. In my opinion this is what makes me one of the greatest defensemen to ever play the game. He is getting old however and I think he will regress this season a bit. stat line: 13 goals 30 assists 43 points + 5 60 hits 70 blocked shots. 31.Mr.Feeny forward Feeny is a surprise pick for the top forty but you can’t ignore his performance in the playoffs, last season he only got 30 points which is good for a 2nd year player but it isn’t the 31st best player in the league good. He scored a shit ton of goals for the Jets during the playoffs and I think his performance will translate to great success in the regular season. I think he might be one of the best goal scorers in the league next season and he will find a lot of success on the Winnipeg Team, being a young player however, he may be partying too much as he just won a challenge cup. He might start the season slow but he will finish the season with a plan to win another challenge cup for the Winnipeg Jets. He may have one of the best second half numbers in the league but one of the worse 1st half numbers. He will score 15 out of his 24 goals in the second half; he will get 15 assists in the second half. 30 points in the 25 games to finish a season would be great. Stat line: 24 goals 19 assists 43 points 80 hits 10 blocked shots +15 32.Vidirk Onoprienko forward Ono is the simmer’s player so it is pretty obvious that he will have a beast season this season as usually the simmer’s player is one of the best players in the league for some reason. He will play on a line with Feeny and just like feeny and that second line so his numbers may be slow at the start of the season, but again his finish will be mind blowing for a lot of hockey fans and will be a big reason why the Winnipeg Jets finish the season 17-4-4 in the last 25 games. He will also be a big reason why the jets start the season going 9-15-1 which will give the team a lot of scares to start the season where they just won the challenge cup. Leafs will figure out a way to get this players going again and Ono who started the season with 5 goals 5 assists in the first 25 games, will finish the season with 15 goals and 15 assists for a 30 point last 25 games season. stat line: 20 goals 20 assists 40 points +3 50 hits 10 blocked shots 33.James Blaine forward Blaine, is one of the most talented players in the league, People say that he has all the tools to be an superstar in the league, the size, the physicality, the skating ability, hands, shoot, vision, hockey IQ but every season,. He manages to disappoint his team and his fans. He is a hard worker and never gives up on the play people talk and talk about blaine and wonder why isn’t he a successful hockey player does playing for a team that has a lot of talent weakening his stats, well that makes absolute no sense to me as really a better team should help you produce more offence. I think he will show his two way side of the game and his talents as he moves into the spotlight and into the future for the Hamilton Steel hawks. He is one of the leagues best scorers during the playoffs and he should build on the season that he just had. He is a leader for Hamilton and I think him taking a bigger role will help this franchise in the next couple of seasons to win the Challenge cup something that they try to do every season since they won it back in s11. stat line: 18 goals 18 assissts 120 hits 12 blocked shots 34. Adam Kylrad forward Kylrad seems to be a player that either is going to have a great season or a mediocre one for him. He is very talented offensively and can take over a game all by himself and we have seen that a lot happen this season with Toronto as he became one of the few players to get 60 points this season. He definitely has the skills to do that but again. I just have a feeling that this will be a down year even though that the North Stars are looking like a elite team next season. He is usually a player that can step it up and be a star without having any star players around him. With star players, the spotlight isn’t there for me and he chokes or he doesn’t give it all every night as he sees that other players are taking his spotlight away and he gets disgruntled and demands a trade or enters free agency and picks a new team where he can lead and score a shit ton of points for. stat line: 20 goals 20 assists 40 points +10 80 hits 10 blocked shots 35.Alexey Kovalenko forward Kovalenko is one of the leagues best power forwards, get isn’t going to dominate the game with his offensive talents but his ability to hit everything that moves and shut down teams top line, puts him 35th in the top forty SHL players for next season list. His play away from the puck is a huge reason why that the Jets are the Challeneg cup defending championships. He knows how to score the big goal to win hockey games and it isn’t like he is a Matt Martin + a Kris Draper combined into one hockey player. He is a near point per game player, which puts him ahead of the pure defensive forwards in the league for two way player of the year. He works hard and he never gives a shift off even if he is healing a injury like a pulled groin, a muscle strain, etc. He is a beast and is one of the biggest reasons the Jets are one of the best teams in the league. He is a huge player for getting the team to be the best team instead of creating a bunch of individual players that only care for him on and off the ice. Stat line: 20 goals 15 assist’s 35 points 230 hits 15 blocked shots +15 36.Ammon Tutakum forward Tut had a very poor season last season with the Hamilton Steelhawks and has decided to move on and go elsewhere to play hockey. He will be suiting up for the Seattle Riot and will be a big time player adding size and physicality to a team that is considered soft as shit to some teams in the league. He adds versiality to their offence and will increase their production offensively next season. Him and Brovalchuk have shown chemistry together and I think. He is a big physical hockey player that loves to be in the dirty are on the ice. There is no questioning his work ethnic on the ice or his personality off the ice. I think he would find success here in Seattle as he has no layer that plays the same way as he does and it give help him find a player that helps chemistry wise. He also loves to be in front of th net and has a cannon of a shot. Stat line: 20 goals 15 assists 35 points + 10 180 hits 10 blocked shots 37. Magnus Jakobsen forward If the loses of Tut and Hall, I think Jakobsen will finally have a breakout season that is giving him the award of the work that he has been p ![]() ![]() ACP Access S20, S21, S25,S51 Smelly Fart Champion 2.0
put in the last couple seasons as a professional player. His career season is what 15 points? He had a great post-season and was a key member on his team that went to the challenge cup finals. I think his talents with more ice time, more power-play time and better line mates will give him the chance to be an all-star next season. I think Jakobsen will win comeback player of the year next season. He has the talent to do so that’s for sure and if he does, he show the world that without hall or Tut, that this team is a still a contender. Sometimes it takes awhile for a player to get the groove into a league and I think Jakobsen is one of those players. He is going to be a special player for the steel hawks and is going o be one of the leagues elite wingers one day.
Stat line: 20 goals 20 assists 40 points +10 50 hits 7 blocked shots 38. Kyle Kennan forward Kennan as a player should be higher on this list. He is one of the most talented players in the league but with the retirement of Nurmi and Weber leaving, He isn’t going to have the defensemen that can help him get the puck to have breakaways or defensemen on the point to help the power play click. These two loses is going to be huge for Edmonton offensively and defensively. They need some of their other guys to step up their game to win hockey games next season. Keenan would need to do it all by himself as really Edmonton’s offensive threats are disappearing every season for the last couple of seasons and soon Edmonton will need to enter a rebuild again to build their team back up to a championship level team. Without Nurmi and Weber their team defensively will suck and they got worse instead of better this season and will again miss the playoffs for the second season in a row something for the last 8 seasons I super shocking for the Blizzards fan to hear as they have been treated quite well with championships in recent years. Stat Line: 20 goals 15 assists 35 points -10 100 hits 15 blocked shots 39. Lionel Bryde forward: Bryde was a near point per game player last season, with a off-season to work on himself + Hall>Salmon when it comes to a better Number one center. Bryde will score a lot of points this season and will be one of the most important players on a team that is looking to win the challenge cup. He has a great two way game and is a shoot first guy which is going to be important as he is playing with one of the best playmakers in the league next season. Stat Line: 23 goals 17 assists 40 points +10 100 hit 10 blocked shots 40. Chico Salmon forward: Salmon might get demoted in the line-up as he is getting second line ice but I think he will succeed next season playing on the second line. He is going to get the second best defensive forwards on him and he is going to dangle through them as they are no where as good as Salmon offensively and he is still has some great players to play with like Krivo,Daigle,Wingels,Velvlra who are all going to challenge for a spot on Hall, and Bryde line and to play on Salmon’s wing. I think he is a great two-way player and is going to produce a lot offence for his team and be an important player on the penalty Kill Stat Line: 15 goals 25 assists 40 points + 7 120 hits 10 blocked shots S20 Awards Predictions: President trophy winner: New England wolfpack Playing in the weaker conference will help their causes of being one of the best teams in the league next season. They get to get points on the weaker teams in the league more than the western conference teams and will be a dangerous team an against the west and they have a lot of talent on their roster. Eastern Coneference finals winner: New England Wolfpack They will be making an appearance in the challenge cup finals, next season. Western Conference Finals winner: Texas Renegades Hall will put this team on his back and win the conference finals against the Winnipeg Jets Scoring title Carter O’Callahan Goals: Carter O’Callahan Dar: Jordan Hall Me cause YOLO, and I can say whatever the fuck I want in my article so suck my biased dick bitches :D Razov trophy: Hall will win his second trophy of the season as he scores 12 goals and 15 assists for 27 points to lead the renegods to a championship :ph34r: Challenge cup: Texas Renegades Give me my cup now or else, I will shut down the league/site by using magic.
