The thing I would definitely change is that Michael Haan would be a Hall of Famer in the SHL. I mean, why wouldn't someone who was the #1 pick in the SHL and SMJHL Draft automatically be in the Hall of Fame? Okay, maybe that is a little too much, so let's look into the impact that Michael Haan had on his team. He carried a team on their defensive core all the way to at least 2 championships. Just a reminder that I am leading all users with the amount of Championships that I have in this league. So, this would be huge change, but it would not even change the entire landscape of the league. It is just another banner on the site and up in the rafters. See, that is not even something that has to change everything, so what would the harm? This is important to me and the player, so why not just do it?

I think if they made a movie about me, it would definitely go more into before and after the games. I think it would be cool to see what it takes to get ready and what it looks like to eat and sleep and maybe even practice before the games. I think an off the ice thing would be so fun. You could see the amount of Taylor Swift stuff that I watch and what I do to get amped. I think that we would have to have Taylor Swift in the movie, right? I think it really makes only sense that she be there. Maybe we would go to a concert or show everything after the concert. I am not sure if the concert would be allowed, so I guess I cannot promise that, but it would be cool to have it. I think that it would be kind of fun to be a HULU or Netflix special movie where people can watch it. It would be like the Mafia hockey show that there is now but it would be more on my life. It'd be more fun and interesting.

The Winnipeg Aurora definitely are building something nice. It really took a lot to break down the team and really get to the core of the players that want to be here as well as the ones that fit the timeline a little better. Winnipeg really needed to rebuild and really find it's identity. I believe that this next draft which we basically have been building for is going to be the identity of the team moving forward. This is going to be such a huge draft that will impact so much. This is really going to show who the core of the team will be as well as who we will be building around. I think we have some really great leaders in place of people who want to play for the team, so it's about building around those folks and continuing to develop. It'll be more than next season to develop a team. I'd love for it to be quicker than that, but I realize that it will not be.

Gosh, this is such a difficult question since there are so many people that I enjoy being here and ones that I wish came back. So, I guess the user that I wish came back was.. Seth. I don't know why, I went through the username list until I found one that I had an encounter with that has not been around in a while. Seth was my first SHL GM in the league way back in 2012 or 2013 and really got me invested into the league. It would be cool to see him come back, so why not him? I guess if I had to pick one, it would be him.

6. a. This question is pretty straight forward. This whole season, and the whole playoffs Hamilton was going to be wining the cup regardless and were on a complete tear, completely different than last season. That being said I believe that Texas had the easier route to the finals because personally speaking I think Texas would likely struggle vs Baltimore. (58 words)
b.In my honest opinion both are impressive in their own right, however I believe building a team from the ground up is likely a bit more challenging and impressive because you really need to eliminate that loser culture that develops when you suck that bad, and have users really believe in the team while also expected to perform poorly for a few years.(63 words)
c.A renegade by definition is an individual who has deserted their cause or friend or religion. Effectively someone who goes against what they believe in, such as an outlaw I guess? And a Steelhawk who the hell knows , probably a hawk that fell into a steelmill and got smelted into a hot piece of steel in the shape of a hawk of course. And Helstrom who? (67 words)
d.Because I am way too lazy to even check who is on which team, and don’t really want to dig through history I will be choose Aaron Wilson for the Steelhawks because he had an over 100 pt season this past season, and for Texas I would choose Burloak Sulfurgold because of that name, I think he is on Texas. Also chose Sulfur because he put up some nice points and helped me not finish last in fantasy.(78 words)

12. Milestones + 3 tpe

13. To be completely honest with you, as of right now I do not think of it as an issue at all that there have been only 5 teams within the finals in the past 8 finals. Why you may ask? Well just like in any league there are some teams that tend to be on a high or rather in a position of strength with great talent and management however this does not mean they were always at the top. I do not believe that any one team has an unfair advantage over another, it is all about asset management and building a team that meshes well together and then pray like you have never prayed before that FHM decides to grant you that win because most of a the time, excuse my language FHM is a bitch. If these 5 teams are the same for the next 20 seasons then yea I would say it would be a problem, but I just see this as a few teams being on their high, except NOLA who died after reaching the top. (181 words) 3 tpe

14. So with regards to a team on the outside looking into the playoffs I really do not have a comment, I would like to say however that my team the New England Wolfpack are on the upswing, having come off a great season and a tough but expected loss to the Buffalo Stampede. However, if we are looking at teams that are looking to push towards the finals I can’t believe I am saying this but I really feel that Tampa has a real good shot at pushing for that in the near future. Additionally, Baltimore Platoon is a team that I feel will likely go on to win the cup in the next 1-3 seasons, or get very very close to doing so. I really think that Baltimore is about to become the team to beat, which makes me a bit disappointed because I wanted New England to exceed Baltimore however what Baltimore had just done last season is nothing shy of impressive, so all the power to them at potentially becoming a powerhouse.

3. I am obviously going to be biased when I say that the Season fifty-nine class will have one of the biggest impacts on the SHL. I think it might just be due to the fact that it was my first ever live draft, but I feel like there are some incredible figures there. And of course, I am very much biased towards myself. Being an early round pick, going to a relatively new team that is still finding its footing, I feel like I can be a huge factor for Seattle's history and make this class huge for establishing the changing of the elite guard and bringing the Argonauts to the top of the league. I think this draft also impacted the league well with the flamed out picks. It provided a few high picks who have since left. This might not be as seismic as a group as season fifty-three, but mark my words, there are gonna be some huge figures and leaders from season fifty-nine. (167 Words, 3 TPE)

4. For my young career, I think that a Biopic will focus on my draft story. I think that the waiver opportunity should be a big moment, you have to have the draft as an early success, and then focus on my career with the Carolina Kraken and my emergence as a top prospect. I think the playoff heartbreak needs to be shined on because we need to show my resolve and character as I endure. Of course, the expansion draft should be a shock twist for people unaware of my history, and seeing those behind the scenes conversations, and the milestones of me being named as the team's first captain, and becoming the team's first all star whilst also earning my first all star will be big. And then the film can end with me getting the call and taking a plane to Seattle to begin my career in the pros. (151 Words, 3 TPE)

18. There is only one user the SHL needs back more than ever in today's soft game. The young'uns have no idea how good they have it. And all the oldheads know exactly who I'm talking about. We need Rush! A rush of adrenaline and anger that only comes with a player who gets slighted by being picked in the early second round instead of the late first! We need someone who will go up to all of these stupid, bullheaded GMs and put them in their places! We need a man who thinks he understands Irish culture from watching Conor McGregor highlight videos. God damn it we need Rush! (109 Words, 2 TPE)

21. I think that as far as the stuff going right, it is that you have made these PT's far more memorable. I read the pill prompt for here and that was so much fun and it has stuck in my head since. Conversely, I think that sometimes you could add more detail. For instance, I quite liked the idea of the ring design prompt, and the site you mentioned definitely piqued my interest, but I would have loved to have had the link posted so I could try and find it. Actually, Slash if you read this, can you please shoot me a message with the site? All in all, I think you're doing a great job, and I really appreciate you doing two versions. I bet that has to take a lot of work and I just want you to know that I really appreciate it. (147 Words, 2 TPE)

18. I’m bringing back the worlds best romantic partner and one of the nicest gooses I’ve ever met, Tez. Tez is too busy being a Canadian goose lawyer or something to have time for our silly little hockey league, and while I still talk to him semi-frequently in the Newfoundland locker room I want to have him return and become a player again. I understand real life comes first over fake hockey, but man I’d do anything to get Tez back into this league again. I believe that one day our favorite goose lawyer will return once he’s settled down with life and stuff, but until then I’m sitting here pondering about when that day will be. (2 TPE - 116 Words)

19. That pill pt was something else for sure. So many people deciding to take all the pills and simultaneously becoming super famous people who are pooping their pants uncontrollably, a truly winning combination. Now if this weird mystery pill guy approached me to make my own pills, oh man I have a lovely bunch of ideas. First of all, the issue is all the pills will be improperly labeled because I’m colorblind and I’m not entirely sure what colors are. So it’s a purple pill that’s labeled “blue?” and as a result the side effect isn’t accurate either. So while the purple pill is supposed to give you some serious skillz and the ability to juke out anyone, the blue? Pill on the other hand will make you juke out your own bowels. Yes it’s just another pill that makes you poop yourself. It’s funny, leave it alone. The other pill I’m making is a cool black and white pill designed by the grim reaper himself, and taking it turns you into a mother fucking skeleton. (3 TPE - 176 Words)

20. I’d like to take a minute to describe the absolutely hilarious affair that would be Evgeni Petrov trying to swap places with Bridget Westfall in PBE. Now while I think he could eventually adapt to the defensive side, it wouldn’t be easy. Evgeni’s entire game is sliding side to side to stop pucks, not chasing down fly balls. The first time a ball is hit over him and he’s in a panic trying to run sideways to catch it would make people burst out laughing. The downside is when people laugh at Evgeni he attacks them. So after the lawsuit he’d then attempt to hit the baseball. Not a noted stickhandler, Evgeni would be absolutely horrendous at attempting to swing. He’d seldom come close to making combat, complaining about the awful puck and how it seems to change direction every time its thrown without being tipped. This would lead to laughter and more assaults. Shortly after Evgeni gets released from Boise and Westfall is brought back, he’d get signed by the Sarasota Supernovas for the sheer entertainment value and because there’s not much else going on at that spot anyway. (3 TPE - 190 words)

21. I gotta say I’m really loving the PT prompts here so far. There’s a nice level of complete absurdity to them that differentiates them from the standard stuff. You can only write so much about breakout candidates and teams that won the offseason. You need more stuff about players popping random pills or getting arrested for robbing banks. It makes doing point tasks actually more enjoyable. The best advice I’d offer is continue down this path and continue to give us increasingly random ideas that make you go “what the heck is this guy smoking?” Those always yield discussion which in turn yields to greater league health.

There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.
It is absolutely an issue. We have twenty teams in the league and only a few of them are getting a sniff at getting a Cup, season after season. One might make the argument that that there is parity in the league, and this isn't bad if the final teams were having some sort of struggle, but they don't. Season after season we see the same few teams dominating the league, while the rest of the teams get to wallow with no real chance to actually get a Cup. I've been in this league for most of it's existance and this has never been worse. As shitty as it could have been in the past, at least you'd have surprises. At least it didn't feel like the league was always being dominated by the same few privileged teams. I'm sure the players on those teams don't see a problem for some of us down in the muck, we'd like to see some hope of getting a Cup sometime in the next year or two.

We don't need transfers like those other countries, we'll do it the honest way, the Russian way and end up with a gold in the end on the back of good old-fashioned Russian hard work.
For countries other than glorious Russia. I bet Japan sucks and the USA roster is very suspect. Canada will continue to dominate, and I'm sure one of the 'other' European countries will put on a good showing.

It's been 2 seasons now and I can always use constructive criticism. What have I done right regarding PTs? What have I done wrong? Was I doing something the wrong way and fixed it? Was I doing something the right way and fuck it up? Do I even deserve 8 mil a season? Any and all thoughts are welcome EXCEPT malicious posts. Do not attack me, or my work. If you have a problem with it, explain why. Don't just say it sucks and its stupid.

I've found the PTs for the last two seasons to be pretty good and pretty good is awesome. It's hard to get PTs right. If you make them too simple then you get cookie-cutter answers with no real fun involved. Make them too hard and you get people whining more then usual. The last two seasons have been just right. Some silly ones to blow off some steam being random and silly, some easy ones to grind out the TP and some more thought provoking ones and I really love all of the extra options given for the CW this season. Keep it up, you've been doing great!

2. Written, 3 TPE, What if...? (150 words min.)
Pick a moment in SHL history to change. It could be something large, an expansion draft, sim engine change, or something smaller, like a trade or team punishment. Change something about this moment in the SHL and explain the impact the difference would make in how the league developed since that moment. (think Butterfly Effect)

If I had to change one thing ever in the history of the SHL it would likely be me losing the Razov. I truly believe that despite my best intentions and efforts, I will not make the SHL Hall of Fame, unfortunately. Had I one one Razov instead of being nominated, that one individual award may be enough to push me over the edge. Probably a better moment to change would be me declining to re-sign with Hamilton? If I stayed with Hamilton and they continued to enjoy the amount of success that they have, I would have had at least 3, maybe 4 cups. Potentially some more Razov nom's as well depending on the deployment of myself. Anyway, what's done is done and I'm not upset about it, it's just easy to talk about for a prompt like this.

I believe the draft class that had the largest impact on the SHL (no bias) is S46. Honestly it's just the one I have the most experience with, the most exposure to and just the one I like the most? Large class of people, a lot of power first gens, both in terms of players and in terms of site users. Kalakar for example was the only simmer for so long and repeatedly picked up the slack of others especially J simmers that were busy. Dude also streamed on Youtube for free instead of taking the profits from twitch subs.

Dancers, Singers, Music. All party, all the time. Just like my adoptive home. Las Vegas. The production would be about a small town kid, raised by sheep in the middle of Wales who had to work as a garbage man to get by. He gets spotted by a scout playing field hockey against sheep and gets sent out to Vegas where he wins (to be continued) the Four Star Cup for a struggling Vegas team. Of course taking a small time Welsh country boy and throwing him into a giant mega party city like Vegas will come with all the emotions. And this show will too. Heartbreak. Depression. Joy. Humility. and humor are all in store. Musical soundtrack provided by White Snake.

Parity is tough. Teams should be good for a few years. They should rise and fall. It creates good story lines. Look at the New England Patriots, the New York Yankees (or recently the Dodgers), or the Las Vegas Golden Knights. These teams are hated because they're always running deep into the playoffs and it has been sustained. And every league needs a villain. Historic teams are usually just always good. The Original Six in hockey, the Packers in the NFL. Certain organizations have a certain level of success expected by fans. Now one thing that's interesting with sim leagues, is there are no fans, no expectations, no budgets or money. It really comes down to luck. Did you get a good new/active user in your draft? Do you have a new GM who doesn't know the in's and out's of FHM yet? There are definitely factors that go into parity that are more human and hard to control. Really the best that can be done is a salary cap system. Making sure teams can't stack 2k TPE players, or if they do then they lack depth. It also gives the GMs the freedom to build their team and the challenge of fitting it to specific constraints.

Quote:15. Written, 2 TPE, The yearly IIHF task (100 words min.)
Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC if you care about that more. Will there be surprises? Will any players make their country proud? Who's gonna suck? Be bold

I think Sweden will win Gold this year. It's Gunny's first year only GM, so there won't be any distractions from his team management. They'll also be reinforced by 3 new rookies Juni Panda, Jonathan Granstrom, and Dogwood Maple. Of course, the path won't be easy. Japan and Great Britain are still strong, and Great Britain will be coming in with a fire after losing in the gold medal game in OT to Japan. Silver I will go with Norway. Quietly the best roster in the IIHF. But I think Sweden will have that special something to overcome Norway in this years Gold Medal Game.

Quote:21. Written, 2 TPE, Feed my back (its hungry) 100 words min
It's been 2 seasons now and I can always use constructive criticism. What have I done right regarding PTs? What have I done wrong? Was I doing something the wrong way and fixed it? Was I doing something the right way and fuck it up? Do I even deserve 8 mil a season? Any and all thoughts are welcome EXCEPT malicious posts. Do not attack me, or my work. If you have a problem with it, explain why. Don't just say it sucks and its stupid.
I think you've been doing fantastic. Definitely deserve the 8 mil (if not more). I appreciate the storylines and prompts, allowing me to think about how my player would react to certain (and sometime absurd) situations. I like how the prompts are different but weave into another creating a narrative throughout the season. I also enjoy, that options have been given to those who want a little more realism. Choices are good. I will say. This CW as a send down (and first time player) was hard. There were a lot of history based questions that are difficult for me to answer as a new user. But one or two of those questions are great, it may get people to look it up, or allows users that have used the site for a while to relive those glory days (before Discord lel). But I really do look forward to PTs every week!

13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.)
There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.

The fact that the same few teams appear in the finals is absolutely an issue. I joined the league almost a year ago now, and I’ve seen four teams compete to win the finals. I think people who joined up to two seasons before me have also only seen the same four teams. That’s insane. It’s an issue because SHL is a huge time commitment, even compared to its other sister sim leagues. This encourages the feeling that unless you play for one of those four teams, you will not win a championship, and regardless of whether people follow through on it, it encourages the feeling that they should be looking to join one of those teams.

Apathy and boredom are the greatest threats to someone’s sim league participation, and watching the same outcomes repeat themselves absolutely leads to apathy. The only potential fix I can think of is to increase contract values, giving the effect of reducing the salary cap. This will make rostering higher TPE players more difficult, and lead to the best teams having to shave some TPE off their roster. (184 words)

If you had the power to bring back one user to the SHL, who would it be? We're talking full activity, balls to the wall. They could be a banned user, user gone inactive, or someone who's around but doesn't really fuck with SHL anymore. Pick your user and why you want them back that badly? Did you love them, or do you just want to watch the league burn?

As someone who discovered sim leagues through the ISFL and spent some time reading all the history and punishment threads, the user I would like to bring back to the SHL is Noble. Maybe it would be a really wholesome exercise in which we'd see that the kid had grown up and matured and no longer wanted to do shady things to try and gain an advantage, or maybe the fact that he's become even more popular in Saskatoon since his absence would bring out his dark side. If the community can forgive his past misdeeds, it could be a wholesome redemption story. If not, at least we'd have fun with lots of copypastas, memes, and likely some more punishment threads. This is not a very unproductive answer, but it'd be fun. (132 words)

My ISFL player peaked at over 1500 TPE and is still one of the better players in the league, so I thought it'd be much more fun to use my newly created WSBL player. The inaugural draft is currently in process, so my WSBL player has 50 TPE. WSBL operates on a 1-100 scale rather than a 1-20 scale, however because the sim is weird shooting attributes operate on a 1-140 scale. I divided my shooting attributes by 7 and my non-shooting attributes by 5 to convert them, and assigned them to what seemed like the most similar attribute(s). We don't have any directly physical attributes besides endurance, which cannot be edited. As a result, I made those an average of my other attributes. I wasn't sure how to handle screening or faceoffs, so they got the same treatment. As you can see, my player would be the worst player in SHL history. As a wing player in WSBL, I made my converted player a winger and I would be surprised to see them score a single point in an SHL season. If I were lucky, perhaps the puck would rebound off me when I wasn't looking and I'd accidentally score a goal that way. (205 words plus the player page template above)

As someone who doesn't know anything about hockey, I really enjoyed all the silly prompts that weren't very hockey-related. I think they catered really well to people like me who joined SHL for the community rather than for the hockey sim. However, I understand certain people not being thrilled, and wanting something more directly related to the sim. Coming up with two prompts for PTs, one fun and one hockey-related, is extra work that means that both those groups of people are happiest, and those without a preference can do whichever they prefer that particular week. No real criticism, I just wanted to thank you for all your work and say I appreciate it. You've been great. (117 words)

The game has been raging but no one wants to score so the game has gone to triple overtime. Both teams are spent and The coach decides to  draw  up a play before the face off in the third overtime. I don't really remember exactly how he drew it up all I know is that it ended up working in our favor. We take the face off and when the puck back to the blue line one of the Defenders blasted in off the goaltender it bounces off his pads and I'm there the clean up the garbage in front and tickle the twine ending the game in the third overtime on what will be probably the biggest goal of my career.  These kinds of moments are the ones that make movies

ok so MVP huh? i don't know if this only me or the other think the same too, but yeah for season 61 MVP gotta go to Aaron Wilson from Hamilton Steelhawks, i really don't know how other pick MVP, all i know from NHL 2021 season Connor McDavid won it with an unanimous vote after leading the NHL with 105 points (33 goals, 72 assists), just like McDavid, Aaron Wilson lead the SHL season 61 with 104 points (34 goals, 70 assists) well well, didn't see that Aaron Wilson almost have the same number like Connor McDavid, so i think just like Connor McDavid won the Hart Memorial Trophy, i think Aaron Wilson also will win Ron Mexico Trophy

a. Hamilton was not taken to 7 games, Texas enjoyed two series sweeps,
which team had the harder path to the final in your opinion?

b. Almost ten seasons ago, in S53, Hamilton enjoyed a 40 win season
while Texas mustered a measly 9 wins. Now these two teams sit atop the
season standings, and the playoff standings. Which is more impressive,
to stay good for a decade, or to complete the rebuild and finally
achieve greatness?

c. What is a renegade? What is a steelhawk? Who is Victor Helstrom from the CW trivia?

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.


a. While it's always difficult to say that, I think that Hamilton got the harder path to the final with facing BUF and BAP who are both strong teams. Texas only faced one really strong team in Chicago, in general Chicagos side of the bracket looked more competitive this season in my opinion including TBB as other strong team there.



b. Both those things are pretty impressive and tell a lot about the great management of both those teams. In the end, it's probably a bit easier to stay on top and maintain success, because free agents are more likely to join you as a top team and it's harder to get good players and keep them invested in a rebuilding team.



c. A renegade is a great player playing for the Texas Renegades organization who will win the cup next season. A Steelhawks is a player playing for the Hamilton Steelhawks who will fall short next year and can't repeat the success from this season. And no idea who that Victor Helstrom guy is, probably just another person not winning the cup next season.



d. The best player for the Texas Renegades and the whole league got to be High Haschdi. While he didn't have the best stats in the team this season, he did a lot of things that can't be measured in this stat. There were always multiple opponents caring about him which got the other Texas players more chances to score points.

Congrats to the Hamilton Steelhawks for winning the cup. The result of the series doesn't really reflect how close the series was at times. In the end, it's difficult to vote for one MVP, but if I have to go with one, it's Rotticus Scott for me. He earned 3 stars in two of the four games. In game 1 and 3, he contributed two assists in each one and he was all over the place blocking shots and making hits as well. I also need to give a shout out to Hamilton Goalie Jobin, who had a great save percentage and especially in game 1, he only conceded 1 goal from 46 shots which helped Hamilton to get a great start into the series.

I think that he IIHF is super close this year, there are several teams on a similar level and it will be very interesting to see who can win medale. For me, Great Britain is one of the favourites, they have a strong roster. On the other hand, I think the IIHF will be a bit disappointing for Germany and it will be hard for them to get into the knockout stage. The good thing is that they have some young talent that should help them in future seasons, but they are not quite ready this year yet unfortunately, especially in the tough group with Canada, Norway, Japan and Switzerland.

Overall, I think you have done a good job. I wasn't the biggest fan of those PTs at the beginning that were not really related that much to the SHL, but I can understand that some people really like that and it can mix things up a bit. That's why I'm glad having two options to write about each week, it definitely made it easier for me.
On the mPT side, in my opinion some of them were a bit too difficult and needed more time (and words) than what's expected from such a small task, but that also got better at the end of the season. So for me, it looks pretty good what you're doing now at the moment and I hope that you can keep it up!

I would really like to bring back JJ James Jamerson Angler or whatever his correct player name is. Unfortunately, he went inactive because he doesn't have the time for the league anymore. As a real life friend, it would be great to talk to him about the league and watch the games together, I really enjoyed outearning him at the beginning of our careers here. Unfortunately, I don't think he will come back in the next time, but it would be really great for me personally, but also for the league, because he got a great LR presence. Last but not least, I would also love to get all those juicy TPE for referring him

Pick a draft class in the SHL that you believe had the most impact on the SHL. It can be a consensus pick, like S36, 31, or 53, or an off-the-board one (S41?). Explain your reasoning to why this draft class impacted the league; Could be in a good way, or a bad way.

I'm going to go with my own draft class of S50 for this question. I believe this was a strong turning point in how teams approached the draft. There were a lot of very high calibre players who ended up being taken after the first round, and I think it changed how teams approached the SHL draft to be more scout intensive. Longer conversations were had to try and know the person behind the player and assess how they will fit in with your team, and how likely they were to stick around long term.
I believe before this change a lot of drafting was done basically based on TPE numbers. This lead to players who were Inactive for a few weeks before the draft to be late first or early second round picks just because they had max earned until they stopped so their numbers were still very high. By the time these S50 players hit the SHL we were also into the transition to FHM which put more emphasis in having higher tpe players throughout the lineup.
TLDR: I think teams started to approach mid-late first round and second round picks a lot more in depth than they had previously.

All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

Starting off a few days before the SMJHL draft, introduce the audience to young Karl. Known for his strong work ethic, but not so much raw talent, he starts to win over audience members with his loyalty, dedication and protectionist attitude towards his team. He's the grinder. Show his inner conflict trying to decide about declaring for the SMHJL draft. On one hand it could be a huge break for his career, this is the first step of turning pro. On another hand he would be across the ocean from home. he would leave everything he knew behind as a teenager, his home, his friends, his team. It wasn't an easy decision to make, and showcase that. Show some of the calls with scouts and Managers that came through once he signed up.
Cut to the draft. Show him waiting, but not disappointed by his tv / phone at home. From here we can show the phone call as Halifax was getting ready to make their 6th round pick.
Training camp was a blur. The rookies bonded, Adam Barron was a top prospect who Karl learned to lean on. If he was confused he could think what Barron would do in this situation.
The first season was tough. It took over 1/2 the season for his first goal. It was magnificent. Sure, it was a deflection off his butt, but that is how Karl does it, greasy and grindy. The ultimate display of his style of play, including the fact that it took so long to get, it took a lot of grinding through the season to get that milestone.
The first WJC. Gold Medal with DACH baby!
The SHL Draft! Going much higher than he was expecting. Heading in he was wanting to be a 3rd round pick. His TPE numbers weren't great, but he believed he showed his work ethic, and he had some good scouting conversations. He only hoped one of those GMs would show him some faith.
Mid second round, 23 overall his name was called! He was to join one of the original franchises in the West Kendall Platoon. He was really excited to be playing out of Miami, he had never been but seeing it in movies it looked fantastic.
The next season he improved, the 3rd season he reached a point per game! He was better than some players on the Platoon, and knew this was the time for a hard talk, was now the time to move up? After much deliberation they came to the consensus of yes - the SMJHL is a developmental league, and he had been prepared to make the leap. The purpose of staying down would be entirely self serving and he was ready to help his team.
A smaller than expected regression in points between the leagues in his rookie season, he powered through. Making the leap to the SHL at the same time as his draft friend Barron was a big deal for him. He felt it showed he wasn't that far behind his class, and he was steadily climbing the overall rankings from his class.
Seasons of toil among the bottom of the league, now Baltimore didn't have too much in the way of draft capital and they were in the middle of a long rebuild.
S58 was one for the books. Baltimore made the playoffs on the second last game of the season, Karl managed to take over the league lead in goals scored in the very last game of the season, and take home the League MVP trophy. IT was a season to be remembered - it seemed like he scored a goal every game.
From here the team only gets better every season. Making it further in the playoffs, gelling, becoming one cohesive unit.

This is tough. I started by wanting to say Hamilton because it means they were able to retain talent and build through the draft, but when I looked at their players and how they got there, it seems like they were able to build a strong core, and then branch out, draft well, but flip some prospects for picks, encourage talent to come from FA with the chance to play on a dominant team, or be big players every season in the trade deadline. I feel this is an achievement, but Texas also had to do all of those things, as well as retain players through bad seasons.
