Ranking the WJC Teams by TPE:
*disclaimer* all TPE totals were calculated on 7/3/20. This took me wayyy longer than I thought it would. 2x for WJC media

I thought it'd be interesting to rank this year's WJC teams by their average TPE per person. To accomplish all of this I transcribed each team's roster, and then using Player Analyze and the forum's player searches I compiled the players TPE. In addition, and for fun I included the breakdown of SMJHL teams as well. I decided to leave in player's full TPE, instead of the max 425, to give a better overall representation of the teams. I've ranked the teams by the average TPE per team, instead of the total TPE. I feel this gave a better read to the entire team and treated it more like NHL20. The spreadsheet I created that lists the teams and their TPE can be found here. For the team representation, I counted IA, and FA under the "SHL" category.

1. TEAM DACH Austria

Team DACH has the highest average TPE and the 3rd highest total TPE out of the 8 teams in this season's WJC. This is an extremely strong roster that the GM's have put together, if they're not in contention for the Gold this year, it'll shock everybody.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Cal Labovitch 850 TPE Falcons

Jack Kanoff 680 TPE Falcons

Steve Harrington 680 TPE Knights

Jimmy Wagner 664 TPE Kraken

2. TEAM WORLD [Image: world.png]

While Team World may boast the most international squad at this year's WJC, they're also 2nd in average TPE and 4th in total TPE. They've put themselves in a good spot to contend in the medal rounds. They're also one of the only teams that has a player from each SMJHL team and no IA/FA players this year.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Adam Scianna 844 TPE Knights

Cillian Kavangh 761 TPE Knights

Ryuuji Minamino 664 TPE Berserkers

Axel Meszaros 632 TPE Scarecrows

3. TEAM USA Usa

Team USA is another team that will be a force to reckon with during the medal rounds as their looking to put America first this year. They lead the WJC teams in total TPE, and are only 30 TPE behind the top two in average TPE. The Americans positioned themselves to be a top contender by relying on a solidly built roster this year. No players have below 235 TPE, and only 5 players breaking the 600 mark. Team USA has put themselves in a position to contend for some years to come. They relied heavily on Anaheim's and St. Louis's rosters, taking 5 players from each team.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Strom Chamber 811 TPE Outlaws

Danny Marston 752 Scarecrows

Ethan Duncan 649 TPE Knights

Eric Hudson 641 TPE Scarecrows

4. TEAM SWEDEN :Sweden:

Sweden comes into the tournament with the 2nd highest Total TPE and 4th highest average TPE. The Swedish GM's had a bit of a tough time trying to fill out this year's roster. They have 4 players who are IA/FA and 2 players on loan for the tournament. So they'll be relying heavy on their top players to carry the team for them. Luckily the team they've built is a strong one and still in the top 4.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Sven Yxskaft 864 TPE Kraken

Reid Sutherland 670 TPE Falcons

Magnus Liljestrom 665 TPE Falcons

Sven Svenson 629 TPE Raptors

5. TEAM FINLAND Finland

The Finns are coming in this year in the bottom half rankings in both total TPE and average TPE. A few selections from IA/FA lists, including JURT's brother RART, and only borrowing Scoochie Stratton this year. They've got one player, Igor Victory, playing as a RW this year, while his normal position is D. They're expecting next year to fill in some of those forward positions with a strong draft class coming in this year.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Slatt Potts 738 TPE Berserkers

Jukka Timonen 662 TPE Berserkers

Jaska Seppala 657 TPE Knights

Bradley Barkov 615 TPE Raptors

6. TEAM BRITISH ISLES :Uk: Ireland

The Isle's are the most consistent team ranking 6th in both total TPE and average TPE. They made some considerable changes from last year's roster, where they finished 1st in the season and could not progress in the playoffs. They have a handful of seasoned vets who are looking to win the gold this year before making the jump.

Highest TPE on the roster:
Rhys Pritchard 840 TPE Outlaws

Keith Lee 830 TPE Kraken

Guy O'Shea 662 TPE Falcons

Edward Williams 655 TPE Falcons

7. TEAM UCORCAL :RUSSIA: :CZECHIA: :LATVIA:
[Image: CSgUVzk.jpg]

With players from 9/10 SMJHL teams, UCORCAL has the 5th highest total TPE and 7th highest TPE Average. UCORCAL has set themselves up for a run in the future, they may be this year's underdog. They only have a few players above the 600 TPE mark, and a vast majority are in their 1-3 years playing. Who doesn't love a good underdog story? Maybe they'll pull through in the playoffs and make a strong run. You never know in the WJC.

Highest TPE on the team:
Ambacas Cuddles 655 TPE Kraken

Samat Beibtzhanov 614 TPE Raptors

Velntin Kalashnikov 611 TPE Timber

Simothy Drunkebird 536 TPE Raptors

8. TEAM CANADA :CANADA:

Team Canada is coming in at the very bottom of both total TPE and average TPE. They built their roster from 9/10 teams in the 'J and the overwhelming majority are players that are young in the careers and will be staples on team Canada in the long run. This year's roster has an astounding 10 rookie's on it. While they were able to harness that underdog spirit last year, it's unlikely that they'll be able to compete with the likes of Team USA, Sweden, DACH, or World.

Highest TPE on the team:
Frans Eller 661 TPE Kraken

Carlos Brown 472 TPE Raptors

Daniel LaForest 468 TPE Knights

Rotticus Scott 459 TPE Knights

That's a breakdown of this year's WJC teams. The WJC are a tournament that is full of surprises, so we could see Canada or UCORCAL make a run this year. Nobody really knows until the medal rounds come around the goal horns start going off.

Great article, though it would be cool to see team's averages of what TPE is actually spent
The top 3 teams all average more that 425, which is above the TPE cap

I thought about doing that, but tbh, this was already a lot of work and going through how much tpe each player has spent was going to be way too much for me. Especially after I fucked up the excel formatting like 3 times.

STL and ANA, America's team Usa

I think you should re-run this with the 425 cap - and you'll see this shaking out differently as there are some very high TPE players skewing the results.

Not too far off from the original in terms of ranking
