The 2nd last edition will cover the Renegades and Panthers keep in mind these are the best prospects from before this draft as we felt it was unfair if we added there new guys this year to other teams. Without further ado here is the last top 5 the last edition will rank each team that we reviewed and give them ratings.

Texas Rengades

1st Ondrej Rachvitikov D
Drafted 12th OV S14

First up is offensive defender who really hurt his stock stating he'd only play past his ELC with the Chiefs since then Rachvitkov has gone onto win a challenge cup in his first year with the Renegades which lead to him resigning. Rachvitkov has all the tools to become a number 1 defender in the SHL as long as he can stay dedicated to himself as he seems semi active as of late though has resurged and back on course.

2nd Rufus Reinhart C
Drafted 4th OV S13

Question marks at his work ethic are the only things holding him back from becoming a legit top line player. Right now of he stay his course he will have a solid but unspectacular top 6 career ahead of him. Reinhart like Rachvitikov is in his first SHL season and captured a challenge cup ring but may be bumped down the line up given the depth bolstered this offseason in Texas.

3rd Eustace Eustsian D
Drafted 6th OV S13

Another guy who seems quiet and questions of his work ethic are now being questioned. Many saw him as one of the top new comers without a big name agent beside him last year since his dedication has plummeted abit. If he can get back his motivation he can become a solid top 4 defender for years to come as of right now like Reinhart the question is will he be bumped down on a deeper squad?

4th Armadillis Abernathy RW
Drafted 19th OV S13

A bust a quiet depth career is all that is projected to be for this young gun. But he may carve out a career as a 4th liner with a few cup rings or two if there challenge cup or 4 star cup it has yet to be seen however.

5th Beast RW
Drafted 36th OV S13

Much like Abernathy will be a depth option for teams who may need it the rest of his career unless he finds dedication again to the game he won't amount to much.

LA Panthers

1st Marian Potcnzy C
Drafted 2nd OV s14

Franchise player plain and simple Marian has all the tools of a number 1 center in the SHL and helped speed up the Panthers rebuild this year. Unless his dedication slips we project Marian to become one of the SHL top centers and a potential HOF. We expect Marian much like his agent will become a top player and probably retire playing his whole career in 1 uniform. His loyalty and dedication are why we think he's the 2nd best prospect out there right now.

2nd OJ Simpson D
Drafted 21st OV S13

Simpson has become one of the top SHL agents for young guys out there and his hockey play is just as good. Simpson has shown hard work and dedication so far and as long and he keeps it up he will be a great top 4 defender for a long time to come. OJ has proven to be a steal at 21st and no doubt could continue to look better and better if he progresses like he has now

3rd Sergei Zherdev D
Undrafted

Zherdev has more potential than Simpson we feel he could become a top line defender. Which begs the question why put him lower on the list? The reason for this is we feel his game is still very raw and needs alot of fine tuning before he can become what we think he can be. Overall we expect Zherdev will be a bigger piece than Simspon but for now we give the slight edge to Simpson.

4th Brian Morley C
Drafted 19th OV S14

Panthers with another potential steal here Morley has shown some life recently and more dedication to the game well we still feel he's a project if he maintains his course he could become the 2nd line center behind franchise centerpiece Potcnzy. And form a deadly 1-2 punch up the middle for the Panthers. If he slows down in any way we still see a long solid role player for teams looking for that extra piece to push them over the top.

5th Lars Anderson C
Drafted 34th OV S14

Depth no real things to talk about here Anderson will move 4th line to minors and even unsigned potentially thought his career. Not alot expected however out of this pick
