2. Looking Towards the Future 2 TPE
It was a rebuilding year for the Regina Elk. With all 6 rookies staying active and only losing 2 players aging out, the team is expected to do much better in s75. Those 2 open spots were filled in the most recent draft with Stavros Kondos and Simon Wymann . With 5 defensemen at 425 TPE, it has to be on paper the best defensive squad in the league. It's also no longer two low TPE goalies between the pipes which was the main weakness the previous season.  Colorado and Quebec are the preseason favorites but don't sleep on Regina, they have enough talent to make it all the way.

7. Winner Winner Chicken 3 TPE
I had Quebec winning it all when submitting my playoffs predictions but I kind of regretted right away. As a DFA the season before I also was able to participate and once again picked the number one regular season team which was Vancouver. They barely made it out against the worst team and didn't make the finals. I'm kind of afraid history repeat itself mainly because of Maine. That team is a different beast in the playoffs, seeding doesn't matter they get the job done. Junior teams usually go through cycles but it doesn't apply to them somehow. Detroit is an another team I'd see win it all. They have Quebec's number, they are an older team, they have a real shot. One last team I'd add to the list would be Newfoundland. I think it has more to do with my previous player but they would also always perform well in the playoffs.

11. A 6 Star Show 6 TPE
In hockey you need more than one line to be able to win a cup. But I'd like to think with these 6 core players your chance of winning improves a lot. Just Perfection was by far the best goalie in the league and a MVP candidate. It's not often average goaltending is good enough to get the job done, that's why I want the best to give me the best odds.

Give me that Colorado d-pair as my first pairing. They have chemistry together and they both compliment really well. They can be on the ice for nearly half the game and I just need the other four defensemen to be average. Roze is my go to guy for defensive duties, he'll be on my PK1 and the guy to send in late game to preserve a lead. Konhe is my PP quarterback, the guy that will feed my 1st line of superstars, a fourth forward out there when it is needed.

I don't think that forward line can be shutdown. In playoffs, the intensity reach an another level and more often than not guys struggle to generate as much offense in comparison to the regular season. But there's simply too much talent here, if needed they could also be split on 3 different lines. Beausoleil would be the typical power forward for that unit, winning board battles, playing physical and opening the ice to his 2 superstar line mates. Most people prefer to have their center be a playmaker but I still chose Hunziker here. The rest of my line up can be filled with two-way or defensive players, I want goal scorers on my top line. Nobody else came close to these 2 in that category. Defense can be learn, offense you either have it or not.

17. Feedback 3 TPE
The new version of CW is much better this way in my opinion. My last CW for the SHL was more than a year ago but if things haven't changed, I hope they will copy this format. The game changer here being the user is the one who can decide which topics he wants to write more about. I'd say though PT wise I prefered the 2 options given in the SHL. Some topics were harder for me to write about so that's why an another option wouldn't hurt. For new users, you need to figure out a way to make things clearer. I know it's said on the op, but I've seen too many s76 new members doing PTs not for them. That transition period could use some work. On a different topic, not too sure why there wasn't any tasks surrounding the WJC. It would be beneficial to get more eyes on it as it's already seen as not important by long time users.
