3. Written, 3 TPE, Draft Kings (150 words min.)

Pick a draft class in the SHL that you believe had the most impact on the SHL. It can be a consensus pick, like S36, 31, or 53, or an off-the-board one (S41?). Explain your reasoning to why this draft class impacted the league; Could be in a good way, or a bad way.

Jonny Tsunami does not know the SHL that well. He will concede that. Due to this, Jonny Tsunami looked at this in a different way. Jonny Tsunami believes that the S56 class can be one of the best classes of all time. There are a whopping 17 players that could potentially reach 2000 TPE by the end of their career before regression, so I would have to assume that a few of these players will pan out and be really good players. Jonny Tsunami does not know how players in their respective draft classes are doing, but I feel like the sheer number of players that could reach 2000 TPE is a milestone in itself and should be appreciated and I believe we could see multiple players having great careers coming from this draft class. S58 is another draft class that has 15 potential 2000 TPE players, including myself so I would like to see if we could attain that as a draft class.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Biopic (150 words min.)

You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

Jonny Tsunami is a made to movie character. He was literally already in a movie, but for this movie it will be even better. Jonny Tsunami went from a basketball star who won Defensive Player of the Year, but spiraled out of the league due to boredom, to a middling baseball player who currently players center field for the best team in the league, to one of the greatest fighters in MMA history, all while playing hockey in New England for a team that made the playoffs. Jonny Tsunami is a multi sport star and Jonny Tsunami didn't even mention that he was a world class surfer before all of this. Jonny Tsunami is a known sim league commodity now, and it is all because of his humble beginnings in basketball, where he eventually went on to a brash killer mentality as a submission artist in the MMA, a speed demon in baseball, and now a garbage collecting scorer in the hockey. Jonny Tsunami's key moments would include making the all-star team in baseball and not playing a single inning, losing in game 7 of the world series, winning and defending his multiple titles in MMA and scoring some goals in hockey.

11a. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

Jonny Tsunami does not even know who is in the Stanley Cup Finals in the SHL. Is it even called the Stanley Cup Finals? I don't even know. Jonny Tsunami reflects back on the series he was in, in the first round and thinks he did pretty good in his first year as a New England Wolf Pack. Jonny Tsunami believes he and his team could do much better next season, but for the time being Jonny Tsunami likes how he played this season and believes that next season will be even better. As for MVP, I'm sure one of the goalies did really well and probably stood on their head a couple games to ensure a sweep or win in game 7, whatever actually happened. Jonny Tsunami only follows his New England Wolf Pack, so when they got eliminated he went straight to the beach to catch some waves.

13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.)

There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.

Yes this is an issue. Jonny Tsunami is on the New England Wolf Pack and wants to be in the finals. He wonders if he has to join one of those 4 teams in order to make it to the finals or if he can stay with his team for life and make it there with the team that drafted him. Jonny Tsunami does not know if this can be fixed, because maybe some GMs are just way better than others? That could easily be the case. Some GMs may just know how to work the system to keep the best players on their team and when they regress be able to trade them off for the best players coming up without ever having to rebuild, but rather than just reload. Jonny Tsunami has no idea. Jonny Tsunami plays for the love of the game, but he would also like to make it to the finals, so if there is no parody, Jonny Tsunami would really have to re-evaluate his long term plans as a New England Wolf Pack, and see if he can make the finals with one of those four teams, if they are even interested in Jonny Tsunami.

15. Written, 2 TPE, The yearly IIHF task (100 words min.)

Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC if you care about that more. Will there be surprises? Will any players make their country proud? Who's gonna suck? Be bold!

Jonny Tsunami believes that Mother Russia will be a surprise in the IIHF tournament this season. Jonny Tsunami and the Russia team did not make the playoff rounds last season, but they did the two seasons before that. Jonny Tsunami believes that Mother Russia has a top tier GM, and believes that all of the core players are now out of the minors and have been uncapped, so they should be gunning for a Bronze medal, which would be so great for Mother Russia. This will be Jonny Tsunami's first season as an uncapped player and he hopes to support his team to victory. Jonny Tsunami is very excited for this IIHF tournament.
