I now know the plan!

S91 is about to be one for the ages. There’s going to be some major shakeup throughout the league, with a ton of new teams and player pushing for standings points and awards looks. Of course, we all know that Simon does whatever he wants to (Praise be to Simon), but I’m hoping to take a way too early look at the teams and try to pinpoint what I think will happen this season. Calgary moved a bunch of assets to skip the boring part of the rebuild, the rebuilding part. I project them to be a pretty low event team, being near the bottom of scoring amongst playoff teams, but also not allowing many goals. Could end up with a goal differential from like -10 to +10. They will need new addition Randy Bobandy to be a playmaking machine to take advantage of new wingers Oreo McFleury and Sadie St-Louis. Merome Dilson will also need to step into his own as an elite starter. Expected Finish: 4rd in NA The Stars stand head and shoulders above the rest of the NA Conference. I expect this to be a 100+ point team, really wreaking havoc on the rest of their local rivals. I expect Todd Cooke won’t take too much of a step back, and Larry Abass Jr will be a huge addition to their offense. The questions lie on defense, but while I imagine they won’t score a ton, Art Vandelay and co. should be well primed to take on any opponent. Expected Finish: 1st in NA Seattle has tapped out for the first time in a while, and while I don’t imagine this will last long, as they are probably closer to a wild card spot than some would expect, as is, they are probably out of the picture. Clueless Wallob will probably steal them more games than they’d like, and Svatopluk Puk may have a pretty incredible solo effort. This team is intentionally bad. Expected Finish: 6th in NA This team looks nothing like it did before. At one point their roster was 3 players. With the Brandt Fuhr era coming to a close, Frank wanted to find a replacement, and with teams like London and Los Angeles competing, and a lot of others indecisive on their position, Frank took the initiative to send the offseason into motion. Sending out as many players as possible and raking in a ton of draft capital, this team is begging to lose. Analfist will likely be a standout scorer, with some rookies putting up inflated numbers as well. Expected Finish: 7th in NA This team will probably be much farther up the standings than they would have hoped. Unfortunately for them, they’re just not that bad. I imagine this team will accidentally be around .500% on some nice performances from Scotty Sundin, and maybe a few glimpses of magic from Artyomov. Don’t expect a huge playoff push, but they may struggle to get a lottery pick with this lineup. Expected Finish: 5th in NA I suppose what we learned from last season was that we know absolutely nothing about anything. You don’t need SC or PA to get points, and sometimes, players just click with each other. This roster is mostly the same, minus a few depth options, replacing them with a few more. Newcomer The Frenchman is the major add here, and should make a deadly duo up the middle with Jason. Geoff Bezos gets the majority of the starts this season, and may struggle to put up numbers like the big guns. Nonetheless, this team should outscore any of its shortcomings. Expected Finish: 3nd in NA In case you hadn’t heard, New York is rebuilding. I know, you hadn’t heard anything else for the last… few… seasons. But this time, they’re doing it with intent. This is the only team I have ever seen without a goaltender on their roster. They even tried to lure one out of retirement. Any wins are going to be a surprise for this squad, even with Francesco Mancini and Jasper Davis trying to showcase their offensive prowess. Expected Finish: 8th in NA This is the team that probably has the most room to move around. I think if Jimi Jaks, Mac Atlas and Tomas Sogaard show up like we know they can, and Joel Castle is a top 8 goaltender, this team could be North America’s only hope against Los Angeles. Otherwise, they could be in the play-in round. I expect they will be better than that, and as such I place them in the only spot that makes sense to me. Expected Finish: 2nd in NA - In my mind, Davos is the team to beat this season. Alex once again threw us through a loop after appearing to be going into a rebuild, and coming out with a whole new look destruction machine. Yes, Jake Thunder will likely take a bit of a step back, but Jokinen should be primed to make up for it. Davos adds Leandro Goncalves and Dogwood Maple, who both have 100+ point potential. Lachlan Summers is a perennial MVP candidate and only gets better when the going gets tough. Expected Finish: 1st in EU What can I say about this team? On paper they should be as good as anyone, but much like Toronto, this projection relies so much on players meeting unproven expectations, except now, there should be teams biting at their tails. Landon Wolanin and Daryl Dixon could be the best duo in the league. Fuukka Rask has as good of a chance as anyone to be the best goaltender in the league. Bouchard has been the best defenseman before and might be again. But who really knows considering the lackluster performances of recent seasons? Expected Finish: 4th in EU I know, I know, here I am talking about being unproven and then gassing up one of the most historically mid franchises in the history of the league. This team is taking an approach that isn’t often taken, and will either pay off really well, or pretty well. This team can take some risks knowing that they have Jesse Teno to protect them. Molly the Cat, Leonard Triller and new arrival Wann Kerr need to show up, and deal serious damage to other teams. They will be the driving force of this team’s goal differential, and will be responsible for this team’s finishing position. Rookie Sjin and veteran Ivan Retoslav will need to grow at a massive rate in order to keep their unit from being a net minus. Expected Finish: 3rd in EU To finish this division of death, is a team that I unfortunately think will be buried under the absolute monsters above them. They absolutely have the scoring talent to push for a wildcard spot, but it will be entirely on Ash Sparks to give them the chance to get there. New addition Bogatyrev should mesh well with Henry Eagles, but I worry about a potential step back from Skor McFleury. This team has a lot of young talent, which ideally means a lot of growth, but right here, right now, this team is barely out of the picture. Expected Finish: 6th in EU While we all know this team is primed to win a championship now, with Eric Queefson in their defensive rotation, I can’t imagine they will bring all that much to the table as a team in the regular season. Again, very much with intent, but there could be some outstanding opportunities for someone like Left Alone or Jeff Lewis to take a step forward. This team will try to do what it can to learn how their player mesh and mingle, and should soon be back to their winning ways. Expected Finish: 7th in EU So Prague is an interesting one. Unlike London and Helsinki, we know what this team can be. Not much has changed since they won, but something just feels wrong. Not majorly, but I think this team is just a half-step backwards from where they were a few weeks ago. Kauppi and Jameson should light the league up as usual, and Murdock will be pushing for some Top Goaltender recognition. But outside of that, I just can’t imagine anyone else stepping up. All this to say that I think Prague is a top team, but not the top team. Expected Finish: 2nd in EU Well first off, as I’m looking at this, Riga is over the cap, very close to the start of the season again. Not sure what the plan is there, but for now we look at what exists. They have 3 lines of forwards, mostly in the 2-3.5M range. They have their usual 2 rearguards in Marino and Kowalski, and Henry Tucker Jr, who is always underrated. AK92 Wit da Hoodie should have a major breakout season, and Sock Monkey could take a major step forward with more minutes. Riga, Malmo and Helsinki should be pretty close, but I think Riga fits somewhere in between them. Expected Finish: 5th in EU Is anyone there? Warsaw has been rebuilding for a few seasons now, and while teams like Moscow and New York have players to show for it, Warsaw does not. With nothing more than a few extra seconds to show for their efforts, there is still a long way to go before this franchise is back in contention. I don’t really see any players that I imagine will surpass point-per-game, but look for this team to get some great shot blocking stats. Expected Finish: 8th in EU All in all, here are my Projected League Standings DAV (~110 points) LAS (~110 points) PRG (~95-105 points) LDN(~95-105 points) TOR (~80-100 points)* HSK (~90-100 points) RIG (~80-100 points)* DCD (~85-90 points) CGY (~80-90 points) MAL (~70-90 points)* CHI (~60-70 points) VAN (~40-50 points) SEA (~40-60 points)* MOS (~40-50 points) NYA (~35-45 points) WAR (~35-45 points) * indicates major swing potential

This is an all-time great article.

Gonna do James Marino dirty like that? (by the portal this is the 4th player from North Korea, although only Marino became a VHLer)

With the game on the line, one shot, who would you rather have taking it, Iggy or Curry? This is a question I get a lot as the General Manager of the World. It has haunted me for many years, and has left me sleepless for many nights. I have waited all this time for my turn to make this selection, and now, as the aliens hurtle towards Earth, I, Jacob Carson am left to make the final decision. Of everyone on the entire Earth, open shot, the fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better hit it, I WANT: From the United States of America, Center, Napoleon Dynamite of the Los Angeles Stars! From the United States of America, Center, Mo Probert, most recently of the Malmo Nighthawks! From the United States Minor Outlying Islands, Winger, Landon Wolanin of the Helsinki Titans! From Canada, Winger, Larry Abass Jr, most recently of the Riga Reign! From Canada, Winger, Vincent Laroche-Gagnier of the D.C. Dragons! From Canada, Winger, Sadie St-Louis, most recently of the Riga Reign! From South Africa, Defender, Hammar Voss, most recently of the Helsinki Titans! From Australia, Defender, Callum Murray, most recently of the Los Angeles Stars! From Saint Kitts and Nevis, Defender, Deron Nesbitt of the London United! From Japan, Defender, Ryuji Sakamoto of the D.C. Dragons! From Australia, Goaltender, Lachlan Summers of HC Davos Dynamo! From Bhutan, Goaltender, Clueless Wallob, of the Seattle Bears! These players have ice water in their veins, these players are those types of players, high leverage moment, fate of the universe on the line, I want – open shot, not go get it, I want these players taking that shot for me. So you’re not the shooters those other teams are, but what I’m saying is, when it matters most, you’re the dudes I think doesn’t care about that moment. Same guys, like ice water in your veins, what is your response? Some would call me crazy. Some might even laugh. But if you were to put me on ESPN on a random Friday night, quite like this random Tuesday afternoon, this is the answer I would give you. We have top level talent at all positions, and with international cooperation, we have the team that is best suited to take on any alien threat, and as such is also conveniently the best suited to take on all of the individual regions of the world in a short but intense ice hockey tournament. So perhaps this announcement is better suited to announce that these are the members of the team that will be taking on Team Canada, Team USA, Team Eastern Europe, Team Western Europe, and Team Nordic in the upcoming S90 World Cup! Everyone from around the world will be tuning in for this amazing tournament… soon! We await the announcement of a few more teams, despite knowing that Team World has the ultimate advantage over all of them. Jacob Carson, General Manager of the World

That blue game me a headache after 3 seconds

Such a weird season, but hoping for some stability and action this time around!

Excellent coverage!

1. Hopefully you can keep Sam out of trouble! 2. I LOVE BOUCHARD 3. I do love that moon had pick transitions at least for the first while I stopped paying attention after the 2nd round. But honestly the whole thing loses momentum when people take too long to pick, so pick timer it is! 4. Well soon Bouchard, but I'd also love to play with Sogaard, and of course Jameson. 5. I'd help but I've been typing up too many Media Spots, so my hands hurt. 6. I'm going to say Smaug counts and run with that, I don't watch many horror/thriller movies.

I mean that's great but you still have a S90 Donation already

I believe the draft board is actually wrong, as the WAR pick came from LAS, who were the runner up, not the winner which was PRG whose pick eventually ended up in SEA. Which is the one that's actually wrong!

1 New York Americans Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser D TPE: 378 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 11 37 48 27 113 96 260 92 S90 Playoffs 9 0 4 4 0 20 8 21 8 The Americans are in full rebuild. They have some good forward pieces and a young goalie developing, but what they don't have are defenders. In fact, they only have one VHL caliber defenseman throughout their player list. They need a defender to herald the future core of New York. Without hesitation, Callum Gary Yannick Janser should be the selection here. They've shown how effective they are defensively with a strong 27 +/- along with 260 hits and 92 shots blocked with Saskatoon this past season. New York should be thrilled to grab this franchise defender with the number 1 overall pick in the S91 VHL draft and should build their defense around this selection. 2 Moscow Menace Thor Reingaard @N0HBDY RW TPE: 395 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 3 1 4 -7 43 34 52 4 S90 Playoffs 5 1 0 1 -5 3 4 2 0 Moscow has made a number of moves to command a stranglehold of the top 5 selections in this draft, walking into the event with 3 picks in the top 5. They have a few young players to build around, like Axle Gunner, Obuz Schneider Canet du Bocage, and Jarno Ruutu. To continue build up a competitive team for the future, they'll look to add strong players to build around their current core. Enter Thor Reingaard, the first of Greenland's Greatest Generation to go off the board. While they posted a low point total in their VHLE season, the sky is the limit for Thor who will absolutely thrive in Moscow's system. It is a very strong selection, and gives Moscow a key piece towards building that future 1st line to compete with. 3 Moscow Menace Spanish Moon Moth @Renomitsu C TPE: 347 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 13 14 27 4 210 50 132 20 S90 Playoffs 7 4 5 9 -1 25 2 7 1 Moscow continues with another first round pick, adding another key piece to their future forward core. While one could argue that they need some defensive help or possible look to grab a future franchise goalie here, the talent present on the draft board is to large to ignore. With the 3rd overall pick, Moscow selects the first of the Moths, Spanish Moon Moth. They'll form a deadly combo with Reingaard in this draft for the Menace, adding a more physical game to complement the scoring prowness of Axle Gunner. With this selection, Moscow looks primed for the future and will only look better as they still have another high end first round selection in this draft. 4 Seattle Bears Leif Reingaard @Zetterberg D TPE: 349 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 12 65 77 56 167 72 135 105 S90 Playoffs 11 2 6 8 4 19 8 19 17 Seattle made some last minute moves to move up to the 4th overall pick. They have a few pieces on the team for the future like Severus Targaryen and Simons Worst Nightmare but not a whole lot else. From trades and the team's direction into the offseason, it looks like the rebuild in Seattle is in full swing. While needs for the team can be highlighted across all positions it's hard to argue with the selection made here. Leif Reingaard could be considered the top defenseman in this draft, and with some patient planning Seattle moves up here to grab the Greenland native. Reingaard showcased their offensive and defensive prowness in the VHLM and will look to transition quickly up to the VHL. Seattle will begin to form a new core around Leif Reingaard and should be incredibly pleased to grab him here. 5 Moscow Menace Olober Syko @Spartan G TPE: 299 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA S90 Regular Season 72 57 13 2 0.92 1.67 11 121 1513 S90 Playoffs 11 7 4 0 0.905 2.36 1 26 273 With their third pick in the top five, Moscow decides to address the glaring area of need on their roster: goaltender. Sam Tombstone is in his final season and Joseph Reed isn't ready to be a VHL goaltender, but the perfect solution in Olober Syko is right here on the board for the Menace. He had a dominant showing in the VHLM with San Diego in Season 90, winning 57 games with a .920 save percentage and a goals allowed average of just 1.67, shutting out his opponents 11 times in the process. Syko is the top goalie in the Season 91 class in terms of TPE as well, and he just so happens to be Spartan's own player, who also just set the all-time TPE record in a career with his previous player. With Moscow expected to not compete again in Season 91, Syko will likely get to develop further in the VHLE as well. This is a slam dunk of a selection for Moscow here. 6 Chicago Phoenix Grimgore Ironhide @FrostBeard LW TPE: 340 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 55 70 125 65 522 62 203 47 S90 Playoffs 17 12 12 24 11 86 22 62 13 With goaltender Ryan Artyomov the only truly solidified piece of Chicago's future at this point, best player available is the way to go for their continued rebuild, and fortunately for them, they get an excellent piece here at sixth overall with Grimgore Ironhide. The key piece of the Mississauga Hounds' championship run, Ironhide led the entire VHLM in goals, assists, points, and +/-, and he continued to dominate in the playoffs as well. He possesses an extremely high hockey IQ, and is always in the right position to make the play, both on offense and defense. He also does not need to be on the man advantage to do damage, as 52 of his 55 goals were scored at even strength, with all 12 of his playoff goals being even strength as well. Whether he becomes a franchise player for Chicago or a trade chip, Ironside easily provides the most value for Chicago here. 7 Helsinki Titans Mina @Baozi D TPE: 296 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 10 53 63 -25 206 81 136 118 S90 Playoffs 5 1 7 8 0 13 2 4 6 A season after adding two defensemen in YaBoi Oven and Tommy Sleeves that tower above the VHL at 6'8 and 250 pounds, the Helsinki Titans at seventh overall select Mina, who is at the opposite end of the size spectrum: 5'5, 140 pounds. However, what Mina lacks in size is made up for in offensive prowess. With ten goals, five on the power play, and 53 assists with Mexico City in Season 90, Mina has demonstrated a flair for generating offense thus far, and will be able to develop further in the VHLE in Season 91. The Titans do possess a relatively young defensive core, including the aforementioned Season 90 draft picks, along with Season 87 first round pick Kronchy Kardashian, but with no defensive prospects in Helsinki's timeline, Mina fits into the team's plans, with this mod team reunion complimenting the existing core ideally. 8 Riga Reign Joshua Schwarzer @Velevra LW TPE: 303 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 29 44 73 23 378 40 111 40 S90 Playoffs 9 5 3 8 3 38 4 9 4 The Riga Reign are in a pretty interesting position heading into Season 91. They have a pretty equal blend of youth and experience, and their prospect pool is loaded with prospects on the verge of jumping to the VHL. This is a team ready to compete now and in the future, and Joshua Schwarzer is a player who adds to their future potential. Coming off a season in which Schwarzer demonstrated immense potential as a two-way forward on Houston and Saskatoon, where he demonstrated responsibility in both ends of the ice and scored 29 goals to boot. Additionally, he will get to develop even further in the VHLE and be in great shape to be a difference maker for Riga in Season 92. 9 Vancouver Wolves Sunset Moth @McWolf D TPE: 284 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 16 28 44 9 149 62 143 167 S90 Playoffs 7 1 4 5 -7 10 4 12 16 Sunset Moth is a very interesting pick that could pay huge dividends for Vancouver as he'll make it to the roster in short order. Moth is a pick that has an extremely high ceiling, but also a middling floor as they project anythere between a 1st and 3rd defensemen. This past season they played a crucial role in the VHLE with Bratislava. One of a few players to make the jump straigh to the VHLE last season, Moth put up decent statistics in their rookie season in the E with a very respectable 44 points in 72 games played. We could expect them to make the roster after 1 more season in the VHLE. 10 D.C. Dragons Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty G TPE: 283 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA S90 Regular Season 69 44 19 6 0.907 2.33 5 163 1745 S90 Playoffs 6 2 4 0 0.897 2.71 0 19 184 With the retirment of Bubbles Utonium, the D.C. Dragons are without a elite goaltender, with this pick they should easily be able to get their goaltender of the future with Dalkr Vidarsson. Last season Vidarsson put up very good numbers in the VHLM with a 0.907 SV% and a 2.33 GAA, both of which were near the top of the league. Vidarsson will be looking to make their debut in S92 and could just about step straight into the starter role that very season! This would be a huge pick for D.C. and their future! 11 Chicago Phoenix Lionel Collberg @Masu Chan D TPE: 280 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 25 67 92 17 239 68 160 194 S90 Playoffs 20 7 17 24 -1 59 18 43 45 With Chicago in full rebuild mode still, getting a franchise defensmen is something that is needed to assist Artyomov on the defensive end. With Colberg they get just that, last season Colberg was unstopable with 92 points, 25 of which were goals! in the playoffs their play continued with a solid 24 points in 20 games played. Colberg will be another piece in the right direction for Chicago and honestly a no-brainer of a pick at this point. 12 Riga Reign Theo Allard @InstantRockstar C TPE: 272 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 41 62 103 -8 420 38 132 96 S90 Playoffs 4 0 3 3 -2 12 6 6 2 Riga made some moves this offseason in an effort to turn their attention to the future with The Frenchman's departure. Now that the focus shifts to their new roster a new franchise center is needed, and Theo Allard fits that slot perfectly as they have all the potential in the world and that showed while they were in the VHLM. Last season Allard had more than 100 points and was the backbone of their team's offence. For Riga this will be a move towards the future, but Allard will be the perfect building block in a new era. 13 Warsaw Predators Red Panda @Lemorse7 G TPE: 288 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA S90 Regular Season 72 54 16 2 0.913 2.02 8 146 1680 S90 Playoffs 17 12 5 0 0.91% 2.25 0 40 457 With a rebuild that has yet to take that step forward towards competitiveness, the Predators need to secure a position fo rthe foreseeable future. The best way to do that is to follow up the long reign of Wumbo with another goaltender who could push them towards another championship one day. Red Panda plays with a unique style and is primed to revolutionize the art of goatending one game at a time. Whether or not Warsaw can take that step forward, look for Red Panda to get a lot of shots, and a lot of opportunities to grow and get better. They should also have the opportunity to tear up the VHLE next season. 14 Seattle Bears Gustav Mattias @Berocka TPE: 229 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 10 9 19 36 121 50 136 7 S90 Playoffs 11 5 5 10 4 31 0 14 1 Berocka is back! As Seattle begins work on its rebuild, a pipeline of reliable assets will be important to support the next era of Bears dominance. Mattias projects to be a glass cannon scorer, with a shot that always has to be respected. There is a lot to be developed here, particularly the defensive work ethic and fluid skating, but there is lots of time to work on those before the big show. Look for Gustav to continue to make progress in the VHLE next season, and get accustomed to the kind of play style that will be needed to succeed in the VHL. 15 Vancouver Wolves Rin Kagamine @Rin TPE: 255 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 13 36 49 28 134 26 62 104 S90 Playoffs 9 4 3 7 0 31 6 10 15 After disappointing down the stretch, Vancouver has torn down to the studs, and is looking to build themselves up from the bottom again. A popular design philosophy is to build from the back forward, and grabbing a promising young defender is how you fulfill that. Kagamine has proven their ability to score, and played very well alongside C.G.Y Janser, leading the Wild to a top-3 finish. There is always a question as to whether the other half of an iconic pair can continue to have that sort of success without their more esteemed partner, but look for Kagamine to show how strong they are as an individual as they battle for playing time and scoring share in the VHLE. Look for them to continue to grow their offensive game to keep up with the stronger defensive opposition in the VHLE. 16 New York Americans Toby Kadachi @ROOKIE745 TPE: 301 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 31 31 62 13 258 39 150 22 S90 Playoffs 17 2 6 8 2 56 12 31 8 Toby Kadachi comes from an agency with a rich connection with the history of this league. While it has been a few seasons since they produced a VHL star, they have been able to in the past, and New York desperately needs to find some starpower throughout this draft. They follow up what should be a franchise cornerstone pick at #1 with what should be an excellent, long-term addition to their forward group. The goal now is to work towards maintaining this talent, and continuing to grow the team organically. Kadachi is well rounded and should end up being a solid two-way scorer. While he is eligible to play in the VHL in S91, look for him to likely take the opportunity to grow his game and score lots of points in the VHL while he waits for the New York rebuild to continue. 2ND ROUND 17 Malmo Nighthawks Phillip Rave @tcookie C TPE: 236 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 33 41 74 40 344 44 145 7 S90 Playoffs 11 6 9 15 9 50 12 24 2 18 Warsaw Predators Bryce Woodworth @SirRupertBarnes RW TPE: 204 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 19 17 36 -44 237 48 188 21 S90 Playoffs 5 4 2 6 0 20 6 7 2 19 Helsinki Titans Behrens Minion @UnknownMinion LW TPE: 214 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 49 54 103 19 435 46 186 72 S90 Playoffs 4 1 0 1 -6 19 4 12 6 20 Prague Phantoms Isaac McFlopper @sportexperts show LW TPE: 193 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 27 40 67 -44 271 51 175 147 S90 Playoffs 21 London United Arne Holmquist @axtron D TPE: 157 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 18 31 49 -37 154 64 124 122 S90 Playoffs 5 4 3 7 -1 17 2 7 7 22 Chicago Phoenix Nico Belique @Syzygy RW TPE: 156 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 21 42 63 3 292 6 73 41 S90 Playoffs 20 6 8 14 -1 64 14 29 7 23 Moscow Menace Dan jr @Danzo C TPE: 146 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 32 46 78 -22 320 43 141 47 S90 Playoffs - - - - - - - - - 24 Vancouver Wolves David Slezak @ShawnGlade G TPE: 203 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA S90 Regular Season 69 37 26 5 0.906 2.52 5 166 1758 S90 Playoffs 20 11 7 1 0.908 2.56 2 49 535 25 London United Scrungle Bungle @Novanod D TPE: 139 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 10 42 52 -28 130 88 175 161 26 Riga Reign Jacob Smith Jr. @jacobaa19 C TPE: 155 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 19 37 56 19 209 52 102 1 S90 Playoffs 9 3 3 6 3 30 4 7 3 27 Warsaw Predators Dietrich Reingaard @JigglyGumballs RW TPE: 125 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 72 9 19 28 50 80 38 132 7 S90 Playoffs 11 0 1 1 5 17 4 16 1 28 Warsaw Predators Olumide Anderson @Theory LW TPE: 139 Season GP G A P (+/-) SHT PIM HITS SB S90 Regular Season 63 28 44 72 -17 296 24 109 66 S90 Playoffs 4 2 4 6 1 15 2 6 5 29 D.C.
