S60 SMJHL Power Rankings

Sup SHL community, since no one published any power rankings for the SMJHL this year I decided to go ahead and make some myself. Hope you enjoy!

1.

Newfoundland Berserkers

Forwards-
[S58] Right Wing - Nike Kickz Jr 775 (425)
[S58] Right Wing - Leon Athanasios 587 (425)
[S59] Center - Robert Black 584 (425)

[S58] Center - Ric Charlesworth 526 (425)
[S58] Left Wing - Travis Konecny 462 (425)
[S59] Right Wing - Erik Andrews 420 (425)
[S60] Right Wing - Evil AllBran 415 (350)

Team Rankings
Offense- A+
Defense- A
Goaltending- A-
Youth- C-
Depth- A
Team Outlook-
Given the top end talent from top to bottom the Berserkers should be the favorite to challenge for a championship this season. 11 players have over 500 TPE with the great drafting in S58 & S59 finally coming to fruition. With 15! players at the 425 cap equally distributed through the lineup (9 forwards, 5 defensemen, 1 goalie) it will tough to stop and score on Newfoundland this season.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Right Defense - Jannik Nordstern 233
A defensively sound prospect with a keen ability to read the defensive play (14), Nordstern uses his large frame 6'3 218 lbs well for a player of his young age. Expected to play right away behind the star studded blueline his minutes should be sheltered but can still be expected to make an impact.

2.

Anchorage Armada Armada

Forwards-
[S58] Left Wing - Paul Binder 643 (425)
[S59] Right Wing - Ville Kurri 567 (425)
[S57] Right Wing - Tokkulu Lakkamaa 494 (425)
[S58] Left Wing - Cole Carter 432 (425)
[S58] Left Wing - David S. Pumpkins 520 (425)
[S59] Left Wing - Janis Lux 459 (425)
[S59] Right Wing - Alimony Tony 409
[S60] Center - Mikhail Novikov 363 (350)
[S60] Right Wing - LaTrell Mcdonald 347
[S60] Left Wing - Alf Magnusson 302
[S60] Left Wing - Guy Fieri 279
[S60] Right Wing - Benjamin Jansson 250

[S59] Right Defense - Josh Jennings 341

Youth- C-
Depth- A-
Team Outlook-
The Armada are in a great position to compete for a championship this year. Top tier talent up and down the forward position, they might possess the top 9 in the entire SMJHL. They do without a doubt possess the top defense in the league, with 5! 425 capped defenders. The downfall of the Armada may be their goaltending but with elite talent throughout the lineup they might as well play with a cardboard cut out board of Carey Price in front of the net.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] W - Towelie 221
Not hard to select a top prospect to watch when there is only one. Drafted with their only pick in the SMJHL draft in the 2nd round at 23rd overall, not much will be expected from the rookie as the Armada run twelve deep already at the forward position. With 4 forwards S58 or earlier he can take his time adjusting to the speed of the SMJHL after cleaning peoples bodies for years.

3.

St Louis Scarecrows

Forwards
[S58] Right Wing - Friedensreich Hundertwasser 824 (425)
[S59] Center - Miguel Hefeweizen 619 (425)
[S58] Right Wing - Greg Davies 602 (425)

Offense- B+
Defense- A-
Goaltending- A-
Youth- B-
Depth- B+
Team Outlook-
With 8 players capped at 425 and 3 at 350 equally distributed throughout the lineup, the Scarecrows are determined to make some playoff noise this season. Offense should be easy to come by with a plethora of talent throughout the top 6 and if their rookies can find away to contribute they will be tough to stop. The defense can confidently run three defensive pairs regardless of matchup, and with only one S58 defensemen the blue line should only improve going forward. Returning in net is prolific goalie Iorek Byrinson who looks to follow up on similar success that he had last season.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Right Defense - Spicy MacHaggis 224
At 6'5 270 lbs MacHaggis is a towering physical presence on the blue line, and the Berserkers have to be excited that they picked him up in the 3rd round. With every physical attribute 12 or over (yes including fighting) he uses his size effectively on the defensive end. His offensive game is almost non existent, which could be why he fell to the 3rd round, but given the Scarecrows plethora of defensive talent he should fit right in on the 3rd pairing.

4.
Quebec City Citadelles

Forwards
[S58] Right Wing - Mew Two 780 (425)
[S58] Right Wing - Brian Davenport 589 (425)

Youth- B
Depth- B-
Team Outlook-
A devastating top 6 all capped at 425 the Citadelles should and expect to score a lot of goals this season. While the defense is very young they are by no means a cake walk to score on. Kappa Kappa returns with sophomores Alfred Yankovic & Ryan Gardner after impressive rookie seasons on the blue line. Blocking the cage everyone shoots rubber into returns sophomore Nor Dekes. According to an unconfirmed source, he yells at opposing players during shootouts "NO DEKES!". It's unofficial weather he's actually yelling out no dekes or his name.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Center - Konstantin Selich 227
The number 1 overall draft pick in the recent SMJHL draft Selich has extremely high expectations, as he should slot in as a top 9 center right away. Possessing great athletic balance strength & stamina (14) he should perform right out of the gate. With elite talent on either wing, he should be expected to put up high rookie scoring numbers and compete for the rookie of the year award.

5.
Kelowna Knights Knights

Forwards
[S58] Left Wing - Gerry Atrick 667 (425)
[S58] Center - Roboute Guilliman 626 (425)

Team Outlook-
The reigning Challenge Cup Champions look to repeat on their fantastic last season. MVP runner up Cian McFelter looks to win the award this time around, and with elite talent in the top 6 it would be hard to bet against him. Top sophomore Santoru Gojo brings a jolt of youth to this veteran laden squad, and several rookies round out the rest of the lineup. The defense relies on veterans Robert Feltersnatch & Michael Scotch who should expect to shoulder heavy minutes on the blue line. Benjamin Blue II returns in net and looks to repeat his championship winning form from last season. With seven players S58 or older, by far the most in the league, the future is now for the Knights.
Top Prospect to Watch-
[S61] Left Defense - Leons Briedis
With their top pick the Knights chose unheraled Leons Briedis from Riga, Latvia, and since showing up at training camp he has done nothing but impress. At 6'3 225 lbs he uses his strong frame well and with not a single defensive attribute below 13, he has exceptional defensive ability and knowledge for a player of his age.

Team Outlook-
With a great balance of veteran leadership and youthful exuberance the Raptors are poised to rebound from an emberasing sweep in the playoffs last year. Top tier offensive talent on the top two lines, the Raptors also have what few SMJHL teams do, a high quality 3rd checking line. Sophomores McDangle & Tokke have shown great improvement from their rookie seasons while rookie Donald Trump Jr lays the boom down on opponents. Newly anointed captain Angus McFife XVIII & Basil Sivart will be expected to shoulder a lot of the minutes on the blue line, while also mentoring rookies Hans Graf & Jamal Nightingdale on the 2nd pair. Probably the top goaltending duo in the league returns as Yanno Rosejac is in his last season in the SMJHL and reigning Raptors rookie of the Year Seteki looks to follow in his footsteps to lead the Raptors to cup glory.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Right Defense - Hans Graf 232
The Raptors will be expecting a ton from their two defensive rookies Graf & Nightingdale, as they will be paired up on the 2nd line. Drafted in the 2nd round Graf will be expected to play a ton of minutes at even strength PK and the power play. At 6'1 202 lbs he has solid size and with 6 attributes at 13 or higher he is a well rounded defensemen who will have high expectations going forward.

Team Outlook-
A great mix of veteran leadership & youthful talent, the Falcons look to fly high this season. Visually appealing they have 3 forwards from each season all having the correct positions, proving managments ability to replenish the pipeline year after year. Three defenders return including top sophomore Zak Wilson, so there will be alot of expectations on the incoming rookie defenders. Podanovic returns in front of net after a stellar season last year hoping to follow it up with even more exceptional play.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Left Defense - Clem Fandango 240
Drafted with the 10th overall selection in the recent SMJHL draft, Fandango will be expected to perform right away on the 2nd pairing with Sophomore Zak Wilson. A well rounded defensive prospect with great hitting & defensive read abilities (14) he should excel in their defensive system. Detroit management put in a clause in his contract that he must eat 4 steaks a day in order to fill in his 6'4 frame as he is a scrawny 158 lbs.

Team Outlook-
Without a single S58 player the future for the Outlaws looks extremely bright. With 6 Forwards & 2 defensemen at the 425 cap and 5 S60 players at the 350 cap Anaheim management have done an exceptional job in the past two drafts. Even with a youth movement throughout the organization they should potentially compete for a division title and make a playoff run.
Top Prospect to Watch-
[S61] Left Defense - Adelie de Pengu 242
With a plethora of good prospects to choose from, it sure is easy to stand out when your a penguin standing among a bunch of humans. Doing a crap load of media and being the 3rd overall draft pick certainly helps the cause. A well rounded prospect across the board with no important stat below 13, Pengu will be expected to slot in on the 3rd pairing for the Outlaws right away. Blocking shots is his specialty (14) as its much easier to glide on your belly to block shots as a penguin as opposed to you know, a human.

Team Outlook-
The Whalers have to be optimistic about their future with 7 players capped all throughout the lineup from forwards to their standout sophomore goalie Olof Karsikko. Ako Zille is the veteran leadership for the forwards while Narboza Manyhands mentors the talented young blue line. While they dont possess the top end talent throughout the lineup like some teams do, they are balanced and have a bunch of rookies who are looking to contribute.
Top Prospect to Watch-
[S61] Left Defense - Conner Tanner 232
Taken with their top pick in the 2nd round of the recent SMJHL draft at 15th overall Conner Tanner has all the tools to excel on the 3rd pairing for Vancoiver with fellow rookie Landon Fischermann. Standing at an imposing 6'6 240 lbs (sumo wrestler turned hockey player?) hailing from Osaka Japan with no defensive attributes below 12 he checks all the boxes on the defensive end for a player his age. He also has impressive passing and offensive read (13) abilities for a defender with such a huge stature.

Team Outlook-
The Kraken hope to outscore their opponents this season. With a great mix of youth and veterans throughout the top 9, especially at the winger position, the depth of running three great lines should lead to success for Carolina. The Kraken will be expecting a ton of minutes from their top pair of defensemen, Lombardo & PanPan as they shoulder the youth movement on the blue line starting three rookies. Last years first round pick Osada Tamura has been called "lackadasical" by some local media pundits, leading some to believe rookie Meeka Keprosoft will take over the starting job by season end.
Top Prospect to watch-
[S61] Right Defense - Eddie Kastrba 239
After an exceptional training camp where Kastraba turned heads left and right with his sound fundamentals, the 3rd round pick at 30th overall is challenging 4th overall pick Tanner Fox as top defensive rookie. While Fox has more raw athletic ability and sheer size at a menacing 6'6 229 lbs, Kastraba has shown elite positioning and defensive reading ability (15), proving he might be more ready to play now.

Youth- B+
Depth- C
Team Outlook-
The Timber have embraced the youth movement playing six rookies this upcoming season. Top veteran Jonny Tsunami leads the forwards & hopes to mentor his younger teammates and build towards the future. The blue line brings back veteran Janne Virtanen (as a Canucks fan this name just grinds my gears smh) and looks to improve and be as strong as the roots of a 100 year old oak tree. Backed by a humongous walrus the Timber look to win many low scoring games this season, with veteran Bloody Oath returning in front of net.
Top Prospect to Watch-
[S61] Left Wing - Archangelo Scaradog Jr. 230
Drafted by the Newfoundland Bersekers at 16th overall, the Timber obviously felt Scaradog fell farther than he should have, and jumped at the opportunity to trade for him for a S62 1st round pick & S61 4th round pick. Despite his diminutive size at 5'8 185 lbs, he reminds some scouts of Cole Caufield who is doing alright in the little league called the NHL. With elite acceleration speed and agility (14) he flies by and around opponents focused on the offensive end of the ice.

Jimmy Larkin-Conway & Anton Harrier return as sophomores as the top two forwards hoping to build on a tough last season. The defense looks to be more than respectable with Rude Sniff & Euro Makela leading the way. It also is in great shape for the future after drafting Melvin Majestik-Moose with the 2nd overall pick & Doug Glatt at the top of the 2nd round. 6th overall pick Willie Miller will be the future for years to come in net for the Battleborn. Things may not go to well for Nevada this season but by replenishing the team with a wealth of new prospects the future looks optimistic.
Top Prospect to Watch
[S61] Goalie - Willie Miller 250
While their are many rookies up and down the lineup receiving a bundle of playing time, none will get more than 6th overall pick Willie Miller. Elite positioning & reflexes (15) were what got Miller drafted so high, and he will be expected to use every ounce of them to help keep the Battleborn out of the basement. His goalie stamina (10) will be tested being peppered with shots throughout the season.
