VHLM Power Rankings – Slightly Past the first Quarter 1. Las Vegas Aces (-) Vegas hasn’t gotten any worse, and no one can say they’re at the Aces level yet. If they can grab a 4th D, I’m not sure who could catch them. I figure if I keep writing amazing things about the Aces, the Shindigs jinx will take place. Although as a 2-time Aces Alumni I guess I don’t mind seeing them continue to do well. 2. Mexico City Kings (+2) Mexico has held onto their depth players so far, and as they continue to get better over time, they look like the best option to compete with the Aces. They are getting extraordinary goaltending and great scoring from their top unit. They are currently the top scoring 3rd period team, and it has led to a great campaign so far. 3. Mississauga Hounds (+2) So I really didn’t expect this one. One might notice the work that the MIS bots have put in so far this season, but the team looks significantly better than it did at the start of the season. The (re)-addition of Quinn Clark solidifies the top pairing, and Felix St-Laurent looks like an incredible earner. A couple more players and this team could be a championship contender. 4. Houston Bulls (-1) It isn’t that Houston has gotten any worse, its just that they haven’t gotten better at the same pace as the teams above. I think with another top forward and another D, this team is a lock for the final 4. Their bottom forwards could certainly be worse, but look for them to earn a bit more to keep up with the other top teams. 5. Philadelphia Reapers (-3) I don’t truly believe this team is the 5th best team, but they’re certainly playing like it. They have great skaters, although they could use a few waivers for depth, but their woes seem to be entirely in net. Their goaltender has been earning welfare inconsistently and their build doesn’t seem to have been getting the results the Reapers will need to succeed. They should either be in the market for a top goaltender or pushing for better earning. As I said last time around, they will only go as far as Evan Bihler will take them. 6. Ottawa Lynx (+4) Much better ranking than the last time around. They have recently picked up 2 waiver goaltenders, and that should be able to keep them in the playoff mix. They’ve got a really nice top unit, and hopefully they can get at least one top goaltender from their options and gather some more back-end depth for a push this season. 7. San Diego Marlins (+1) Although the standings strongly disagree with this placement, the Marlins schedule has been incredibly tough to start the season. Since the second week has gone on, San Diego has been splitting and winning sims regularly. Still quality over quantity, and finishing a second unit would make this team a sneaky playoff team. 8. Halifax 21st (+1) The standings have loved Halifax so far. Maybe it knows something that I don’t but I can’t see this team getting anywhere at this point. They have been getting exceptional goaltending, which has kept them close to even in goal differential. Their top unit has been playing well so far, but will need to keep earning to keep up with the other teams. Hopefully they can have some nice pieces for either a firesale or a little playoff bout. 9. Saskatoon Wild (-3) This team once was the epitome of defensive depth, but after some inactivity, the team has shown what it really is. Jesse Teno and Astro Singh have been especially exciting so far, and I hope to see them on a playoff team at some point. A couple waivers and they could have some fun, but don’t expect too much from the Wild this season. 10. Miami Marauders (-3) The longer the Marauders go without picking up a goaltender, the more they fall down my list. I like their top players, but they stand no chance without a goaltender. I actually think this team could compete in the playoffs with even a ~150TPE goaltender. The sooner they get on that, the more likely it is they can save their season. 719 words idk if I'll claim or not

The Marlins haven’t exactly gotten off to a great start, and much worse than I expected. After striking out on almost every late round pick in the draft, the team was looking shallow going into the first few sims. Now at least, we have a full unit (3F, 2D, 1G and oh look a new waiver D!) to mitigate the amount of bot play. We’ve won a couple games in the last couple sims, so some more should be on the horizon. Could simply be a tough schedule, or maybe the hard work everyone has been putting in has begun to pay off. When it comes to Landon Wolanin, he’s been off to a pretty alright start. Not looking like ROTY at the moment, but with 4 goals and 2 assists, he is still having a pretty productive start. Seems like it will be easy to tap the puck in playing with Kotkakoivu and Janser. The Wranglers are winning nicely so far and once Saku gets back on that MVP pace, it’ll be game over for other teams.

VHLM Power Rankings – Season Start 1. Las Vegas Aces Last years champs brought back 3 (now) capped Forwards, 2 veteran Defensemen and a capped Goalie. These players alone would probably put Vegas at the top of the power rankings, but adding in key new pieces like Larry Abass Jr and Reid Johnson help to solidify the depth that was needed to help this team maintain its championship contender status. 2. Philadelphia Reapers The Reapers bounce back from a down season last time around and put together a very solid roster to open S84. A really strong D pair, several strong forwards, and probably most importantly, a goaltender. Several really solid users on the team, lots of experience and the perennial Reapers flair. If the team stays active and earning, they should have no problem contending. But, they will only go as far as Evan Bihler will take them. 3. Houston Bulls AJ returns to the GM position and put together a great foundation for a contender right away. 2 capped Forwards, 2 strong Defensemen and most recently, a promising waiver goaltender. If I had written this a few days ago, they would have been much lower. Similar to the Reapers, look in net to see how far the team goes. 4. Mexico City Kings This team has the potential to be the best team in the league come the end of the season. New GM on the block, and lots of strong picks at the draft. Strong earning Forwards, a really exciting D core and not 1 but 2 exciting goaltenders. So long as the team hype doesn’t die down, they should be rocketing up the power rankings soon. Their development strategy had them picking lower TPE players who would earn well, so we shall see if that will pay off in the future. 5. Mississauga Hounds I think there are certainly some exciting pieces on this team, but the lack of depth outside of the top players concerns me long-term. The Hounds have been doing well on waivers, so look for them to grow the team that way and compensate for the lack of apparent depth. If the team stays active and earning, they should be a playoff team, otherwise look for them to tear down at the deadline and wait for a stronger draft class. 6. Saskatoon Wild An interesting approach for this season has the team loaded up on the back end but very shallow up front. They are hoping that their strong team defense can help them win tight games. The forwards they do have look to earn well, and should provide decent output. They also have a goaltender which is a huge plus this season. Maybe not a contender in my eyes, but could be an exciting seller by the deadline. 7. Miami Marauders This team would be much higher, but they have no goaltender. If they can land a goalie on waivers, and soon if possible, they have plenty of time to compete this season. Strong forwards and a serviceable D pairing could make this team a winner. At the very least they should have some awards candidates and some strange scoring games. 8. San Diego Marlins Maybe this is my bias showing, but I think what this team lacks in quantity, they more than make up in quality. If they can land some waiver help they could find themselves in a playoff position. Unfortunately, due to the lack of double shifting in the playoffs, there is no chance this team could contend. Lots of exciting pieces though, so keep an eye on them for awards nominations and potentially selling to contenders. 9. Halifax 21st In a very similar position to the Marlins, this team has some exciting pieces, but lacks any depth to compete later on. Also I question the morals of the team given the amount of Bezos content. This team could play upsetter a bit this season, but expect them to try to maximize their return for future seasons. 10. Ottawa Lynx I know as I write this that this placement is wrong. But I can’t really figure out who they are, and how they are better than the other teams on this list. I like their forward group, but that is literally all they are. Even if they keep all their players active and earning, I’m not sure how this team competes game to game. If they manage to pull in some exciting waivers they should be able to boost themselves up the rankings but for now they are too incomplete for me to really understand how successful they’ll be.
