#6 HOU_bar.png = 1223 TPE

 

Top Players

 

RW Dalton Wilcox - RW Koda Adok - LW Teemu Lehtinen Jr. - D Khalabib Stiopic - D Banko Mulleto 

 

Like most teams on our list Houston is offense first and probably the most offensive oriented team but they do have defense to back it up. What they need to improve on would be getting strong players to defend their scorers and somebody that can man the middle on the top line. The Bulls have an interesting roster and one you could gamble on, they are well ready to be a top team right now and with a few minor adjustments they could see themselves at the top of the standings, specially if their already talented player can get a little bit more TPE. Finally, expect to see some sweet plays and good chemistry from their top line, they have 220 scoring between the three of them.

 

#5 YUK_bar.png = 1419 TPE

 

Top Players

 

RW Erik Draven - C Frans Eller - LW Brendan Plunkett - D Lance Flowers - D Wolf Stansson Jr.

 

Yukon has a lot of talented players to fill the whole roster but are lacking a goaltender. If you look closer at the players you'll see very good scoring and defense with outstanding skating which are three vital skills you need. They have very low discipline and I can see that being a problem during the season. At the end of the day I'm sure we will see plenty of competitive games out of this roster.. if they can find a competitive goaltender to match because defender Flowers is going to be blocking a lot of pucks if they don't.

 

#4 HFX_bar.png = 1548 TPE

 

Top Players 

 

RW Anton Edvin - RW Emil Passerelli - RW Kenji Hachimura - D Pierre Persson - G Thorvald Gunnarsson

 

The 21st have a very strong offensive starting line up, the forwards have a pair of scary scorers in Edvin and Passerelli and Hachimura threads the needle. Their defense is offensive as well and Persson takes the shot most nights while two-way defender Gage works his tail off. Goal-tending isn't an issue for Halifax, Gunnarsson ranks 3rd among TPE earners on the team and will be the right man to hold the fort for them this season. If the team can acquire some shut down defensive players and possibly a center they can make a legitimate run at the cup.
 

#3 OTT_bar.png = 1553

 

Top Players

 

C - Zeno Miniti - LW Hunter Wagner - LW Anthony Hawk - C Thorny Underyew - D Cody Parkey

 

Right off the bat I notice the team has only a few lines of talent but can put the puck in the back of the net, the team is lacking defenders and defensive forwards which has been a trend so far but if they could get somebody to fill that gap the Lynx could be in the finals. Anthony Hawk is going to be a problem and his shot is scary, they have a little bit of everything they need in skill for offense and don't need to improve on that at all. The only area I see that needs an improvement is depth defenders and forwards that can grind it out, if they can find a few or train a prospect to develop a different skill set this roster could be very dangerous and nightmare shift after shift

 

#2 OSL_bar.png = 2064

 

Top Players

 

LW Berocka Sundqvist - D Andreas Sundell - D Hugh Chan - D Danny DeYeeto - G Justin Cole

 

The Storm have the best defense in the league and just enough offense to go along with it, making them a huge threat and the bottom teams should prepare themselves. They will hit and skate past you and goaltender Cole will most likely be making the VHLM highlights. The only thing Minnesota is lacking would be a top center and are going to need one if they want to get chances to capitalize on, they are far ahead of other teams and are going to have a great year.

 

#1 PHI_bar.png = 2493

 

Top Players

 

C Alex Pearson - LW Dylan Doyle - C Scotty BigShotty - D Brandon LeBlanc - D Conor Adrienne

 

The Reapers have by far the most players and best talent and has enough TPE to split the team in two, definite cup contenders and award winners all over their roster. If the team could acquire any type of player it would be somebody to fill their already great depth but other than that expect to see them dominate next season because their top line all has 1,275 TPE between them and they have depth players bottom teams would dream to have along with a back up goaltender. Is there anything this team cant do? Seriously.. They deserve to be in a different league!

Should look at TPA per slot in the lineup, not total TPA. Philadelphia can't even play all of their forwards so counting the total of the roster doesn't really give a great comparison point. (That's just an example, I'm sure 1+ are inactives)

 

Total TPA based on lineup slot for the team is capped at 4400 (or 4200 if you don't include the backup goalie) for reference.

 

Yukon would be: 1262 + 1002 + 94 = 2358

 

To go deeper you could do position caps too to get a efficiency in each:

F= 1262/2400 = mental math 53%~

D = 1002/1600 = 62.5%

G = 94/400 = shitty

 

Even more statistically, could weight it all by ice-time / 60 lol. But this is enough math for today.

I included that in the original post about why just counting everyone doesn't work. I even put it's probably an inactive ?

Review: Wow, this was a really well put together and informative article! I'd really like to see what it looks like now that the season has completed, if anyone has changed their position in the overall, or if the top 5 is the same for the teams. Great formatting as well. Good Media spot!
