Danny Mete’s arrival into the SMJHL was, to say the least, a controversial one. For one, his registration was submitted only minutes before the draft began and, therefore, meant he most likely would have slipped under the radar of most teams. The problems didn’t end there for the young Madagascan as there were inconsistencies in his paperwork. This mistake ultimately meant the Defenceman went undrafted and the rumour mills soon started to turn – had this been a ploy by the rookie to insure he could sign for the team he wanted? Regardless of opinion and debate, Mete was allowed to enter free agency and was promptly picked up by the Vancouver Whalers.

Despite the conspicuous beginning to his SMJHL career, it’s clear to see why the Whalers would take a chance on the two-way defenceman. His willingness to shoot (70) and ability to defend (70) will serve him extremely well, and the Whalers front office will no doubt hope that he adapts to life in the league quickly with his capabilities at both ends of the ice. If Danny is to be a success in the SHL later on in his career, however, then he must become physically stronger than his current 41. Standing at 5’9 already makes him slightly shorter than the average player, never mind defencemen, and therefore he has to make up for this with improved strength.

Connor Blackwell was drafted 2nd overall in the recent SMJHL Draft by the Detroit Falcons who held the 1st overall pick as well. He was a highly touted prospect even well before the draft and it isn't hard to see why. The kid comes in 6'1 and 209 pounds and shows that he has the talent to potentially become a superstar forward in the SHL.

Strengths:
Defense: Blackwell prides himself in both ends of the ice. He works hard in his own end, along the boards. It's currently his highest rated stat at 70 and is looking to be his strong suit for the majority of his career.

Puck Handling: Blackwell had some terrific puck handling ability during the SMJHL combine and was truly something else to behold. Recently though he's been training some other stats and thus his Puck Handling stat is currently behind his skating and strength at only 62.

Passing: As a center, Blackwell is a fine playmaker on the ice for his teammates with a rating of 68. His scoring isn't the strongest so it's important he's still able to contribute offensively.

Weakness
Scoring: Rated as his main weakness heading into the draft, it seems to have remained as his weakness several games into the SMJHL Season now. He'll need to rely on his wingers to score some goals rather than himself scoring.

TATU MÄKELÄ, was borin in Finland, has a very strange name, is a 2 way defenseman who's good at handling the puck (75), he's not very strong (41) and he's got really a checker (42) but he plays positionally sound defense (77). In the offensive zone he's more of a playmaker (62) than a shooter (54). The man’s nickname is Dickus, and I don’t know how they get that name from his real name. He has very good strengths in Passing, Defense, and Puck Handling. Some people would call him a master dangler, but everyone knows he is only ok at that. He currently has a -2 in 16 games, with only 14 shots (come on man pick it up) As he picks up the effort throughout the season he will only (hopefully) improve. This legend though was drafted 1st overall in the SMJHL Entry Draft to the Detroit Falcons, and it was great to see that they traded up to get him. He will be a valuable asset to that team, and he will only help improve them each and every game (again we hope). If he continues to work on his strength it will only go to show that he will be a great player.

p.s. love ya Dickus <3

The Two Way Defenseman Lukas Müller has been tearing it up quite consistently in his 3rd season down here in the SMJHL. Which is to be expected from someone with his skill set. He's got a solid rating of 70 at defense and scoring, But, where he really excels is puck handling and passing with the former at 77 and the later at 76. What really has him standing out to me is the fact that he can perform at a competitive level consistently for a very long period of time, and for that we can give credit to his attention to cardio as his endurance is listed at 74. Early on in the season he seems to be performing quite well boasting a respectable 2-8-10 stat line, but whats really notable thus far is his +/- of 13. Good enough for fourth highest in the league. Along with that he has been on this ice for a total of 387 minutes this season and that's the third highest in the league.

If he can really put his nose down and get some work in, he can have a heck of a season without a doubt! He may be even making his way up to the SHL sooner rather than later if that's the case.

When I think of competition, no one else comes to mind other then Cody Fletcher, LW for the Halifax Raiders. There are many reasons as to why I have these feelings. For one it helps that <a href='index.php?showuser=2699' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>Evok</a> is an experienced user, she definitely knows what she is doing when creating. Fletcher has proven that keeping at the grind of becoming a scorer can pay off. Fletcher's scoring is currently an 80, although he hasn't scored a ton of goals in his career he's almost a PPG. Something many players can't say in their 1st and 2nd season in the league. Fletcher must be doing something right off the ice as well, getting the nod in his rookie season as one of the 2 "A's" for the Raiders. Only a season after Fletcher was named as the "C". Throughout these 2 seasons Fletcher has gotten some nice hardware to take home. Not to mention in S36 Fletcher was drafted in the SHL draft 3rd overall, by the New England Wolfpack. Although he's yet to see ice time in the biggies do not count this kid out in the future. Over these 2 seasons Fletcher has also acquired some nice hardware such as the Ron Bolt Trophy and the Elias Armia trophy.

Don't sleep on this kid when it comes to skating (70) and the two-way game with 75 defense!


To say the least, Fletcher knows what the fuck he is doing. I guess Evok is a rl nice person as well, like wow.

When it comes to looking at the competition, a good place to start is my old team, the Montreal Militia.

They are known for having the Tanner brothers do a lot of damage for this team. Jack, Connor and Barbie are all threats, and the newly acquired Eric Tanner will look to be the same.

He is a left winger, but he has shockingly high capabilities to play the other side of the puck. His defense was rated by scouts as a 77/100, which is objectively high, let alone for a rookie.

Passing is something else Tanner does relatively well, as he was rated 68/100. There is room for improvement, but that can be said about all areas of a recently signed rookie.

His checking is the weak spot in his game, as he was rated a 40/100, and it was pinpointed down as the area least likely to improve. That's a very interesting quality to go with such high defense, and it will be anybody's guess how it turns out on the ice.

Will Eric Tanner continue the family legacy, or will his lack of training do him in? Only time will tell.

Howie Dewitt is the spotlight in this latest edition of PTs by me, Hoovuh. This Irish Sniper is the future of the Simulation Junior Hockeh League. At 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing in at 207 pounds, he is no small body on the ice and is apart of the new age of snipers coming into the league. As with all young players in the league, he has the things that he excels at, and those things that he could for sure work on if he hopes to break into the majors, the Simulation Hockey League.

As with most players that call themselves snipers, his best stat is in his shot. With a rating of 75 in that stat, he is amongst the best in his draft class. With almost robotic percusion, he can find the open net more times than not.

Along with his great shot, he is great with the puck. We give him a 67 in the puck handling department. Able to dance around defensemen and then just release the puck into the net.

The one real big knock on this player is that he seems to lack the endurance one needs to be successful in the league. At just 55 endurance he makes up for that by doing extremely short shifts, but sometimes looks beat at the end of games.
