(Graded) Deep Dive #1 - Kelowna Knights (Trashae)

I may have not been drafted to Kelowna, but that doesn't mean the team isn't near and dear to my heart so let's take a look at the current roster of 425- eligible players.  As a small note about the order I am simply listing them in reverse order as seen on the Kelowna roster page.

The Old Guys (S69)
Kelowna only has 1 remaining active user from this class and they are unsurprisingly the only capped player from the class.  Having 1 user out of 5 hit the 425 cap has this class as a miss.  But, let's still go into each other players and see where they stand today.

Cole Dasice - LD 299 TPE - Icebear32

After a promising first two seasons Cole has been sitting at 299 TPE ever since and appears to have given up on the league as a whole having left the Kelowna discord earlier this month.

Wonda Jagrs - RW 386 TPE - overdoo

Wonda at least managed to hit the initial 350 TPE cap and then some, but never updated or unbanked after getting their cap raised to 425.  Overdoo has recently done a PT and resigned with Kelowna ahead of their last season of J eligibility.  It may be too late to salvage their J career, but here's hoping that a return to the site means that Wonda can one day become a useful player at the SHL level.

Rikaad Metzller - RD 567 TPE - Lazyeye

We have a player that is actively earning! Rikaad is the cream of the S69 crop for Kelowna and is still developing as a player.  They may no longer project to be a top of the league type defenseman at the SHL level, but all signs point to a productive and long career in the big leagues for Metzller.

Marc Gorman - RW 228 TPE - Dreamdeath

Not a whole ton to say about Marc here.  They've already been surpassed by several rookies in the S71 class and haven't been seen or heard from since January.  Just an IA to fill out the roster.

Trevor Cox - RD 162 TPE - DaRubberBox

See above.

S70 Signs of Life!
The S70 class is evenly split between active and inactive players, but we have twice as many capped players as S69!

Isak Sogard - LD 393 TPE - dankoa

Last updated in March of this year, but still posting threads as the Texas Renegades GM Sogard appears to have transitioned into a front office role after failing to develop as a prospect.

Wilhelm von Hindenberg II - C 268 TPE - TheFlash

Wilhelm seems to have followed the model S69 set forth and hasn't shown any signs of growth for months now.  They seem to simply be a flash in the pan jumping out quickly to 268 TPE before disappearing into the night.

Mu Wisconsin - LW 456 TPE - Jiggly_333

We have another player sitting at 425 TPE! Mu continues to be an active and growing player with an update posted this past weekend.  Sitting at the 425 cap for the J now will be a true test for their resolve to grow as any TPE earned from this point on is done with an eye on the SHL.

Tibuk Soonika - G 607 TPE - chetib

Last, but certainly not least we have Tibuk Soonika who I can confidently declare the best SHL prospect on Kelowna's roster.  They just unfortunately happen to be at the least valuable position in FHM where all of that wonderful TPE is undervalued.  Tibuk is 150 TPE ahead of any other S70 draftee on the Knights' roster and is still earning at a torrid pace.  They project to have a long and successful SHL career.

Well there you have it.  Kelowna is a young team with hope for the future, but of their 425 eligible players just a third of them actually reached that important milestone for the J.  This has been a fun deep dive into the past and present of the Kelowna roster, but now I have a new home and in our next article we'll take a look at the 350 eligible players over in Detroit.
