I'm still relatively new here.  It's my fourth season on the site, first season called up to the big show, but I've got some extra exposure through media grading and being an IIHF co-head.  This is my modern take on the Big 4 from my 6 months experience, if they aren't already in the Big 4 picture, they are on the path to be in that conversation.

First up, Joe K.  Between his legacy in STL and his fresh run on NOLA, I think that one is an easy choice, but I am pretty biased as a hardcore crow.

Second, Luke.  He's that data god, putting out his own data and analysis, but also fueling the work of many others.  Huge impact on the SHL stats community.  From a newcomer perspective, he was very supportive when I first joined, and he's encouraging to people doing their own projects.  Also pingy bot.

Third, gordieboom.  This one is more of a prediction than the others so far.  Gordie came onto the site a season after me but has definitely added a lot more to the community than myself through various media series, like the Llama Trophy, Gordie's Quest, and the various season reports.  I'm lucky enough to have the extra exposure to gordie through our time on STL.

Fourth, me.  You'll know my name sooner or later, the big scruffy trainwreck.
