Eastern Conference Breakdown.

SPNHL East write up
What’s up everyone, ttommyboiii here and I’m going to give you a pre-season Eastern Conference overview and projected standings. For those who don’t know me, this will be my 4th season in sp, for the past 2 season I ran teams in Los Angeles and Toronto. We finished in the cup final when I was in my rookie campaign as an owner with the Kings and a nice 2nd last finish last season with the Leafs. This will be my first write up for SP and would love some feedback on how I did, both positive and negative. So here goes nothing…….
Toronto Maple Leafs 4rd in the Adams (6th in the east)
Notable draft picks: jaime14benn14 4th overall, Benner77 2nd round 10th pick
Best 6:
LW Tyler91seguin91
C Benner77
RW jaime14benn14
LD SliyumShady/Booseybad
RD SullivanI93I
G lxl-C-lxl/Troublekid1999
Lxl aka Mansel moves from Buffalo to the 6ix and right away made a big move and acquired elite winger Tyler91seguin91. Seguin looks set to lead this Leafs forward core and put up another stellar season. With the 4th pick in the draft Mansel takes jaime14benn14 who has a lot of chemistry with Tyler and also a very good winger. Playing centre in-between them will likely be Benner77 who he took in the 2nd round of the draft. On the back end, they look a tad thin with only 3 listed defencemen on the roster but, they do have Sullivan who is known as a good defenceman. Playing next to him will be Shady or Boosey, I don’t know much on Boosey but, after playing several games with Shady, he proved that he is a more than capable defenceman, question is will his skills transfer to league play. In net, they have plenty of depth and have many options with Mansel, Trouble and joeja. Mansel also made a move before the start of the season in trading Tanger for former SPNHL GM Appler.
Pittsburgh Penguins: 3rd in the Adams (4th in the east)
Notable draft picks: SmashNgrab21 2nd overall LD, BiPolarBear1387 13th overall G,
Best 6:
LW Cookie_man_412
C H-_A-_L-_A-_K
RW kinglyme89
LD smashNgrab21
RD captain21canada
G BiPolorBear1387
BrownsvilleSolja leads this interesting looking Pittsburgh Penguins team into season 26 looking for back to back Stanley cups. HAHA jokes, but yet again this season, without the puck even dropping for opening night he has guaranteed his team a Stanley cup. Offensively they have a weapon in Kinglyme89, with Cookie man and Halak who look to round off their top line. Defensively they’re looking solid with 2nd overall pick Smash leading the way with Cap Canada most likely being on that top pair. The man the myth the legend himself Soni and Bipolar will be sharing the net, not entirely sure whether who will be the starter but only time will tell.
 
New York Islanders: 2nd in the Adams (2nd in the east)
Notable draft picks: Ev0xgsr327 15TH overall, Bruiser4life2, 3rd round 15th pick
Best 6:
LW seedoftavares
C CantTreadOnMe_
RW Ev0xgsr327
LD Ajax32123
RD Breezy5457
G Bruiser4life2
After losing in the final 4 last season, Seed decided to move his team to Brooklyn and take over the Islanders. Pre-draft, Seed made a trade in acquiring CantTread from Anaheim who looks poised to be the teams #1 centre after having a fantastic rookie season. On his wings, will likely be Seed or Voltage on his left and on the right his 1st round pick Ev0 or Crevette. Offensively, they look very good but defensively they look absolutely stacked. Last season, Seed moved his buddy Fish for arguably the best defenceman in the league in Breezy and partnered him up with Ajax who is also very solid. This D pair is going to frustrate a lot of teams this season and don’t be surprised if one of these guys walk away with Norris. In net, they have Bruiser who looks to be the starter, who should have a great season, especially with this D pair in front of him.
New Jersey Devils: 1st in the Adams (1st in the east)
Notable draft picks: Rancher12345 3rd round 6th pick, Chieftrout 4th round pick 10
Best 6:
LW cornect57
C Burst-NightOwl
RW Linde94
LD Cuban1616
RD Iachoku
G Rancher12345
Cuban1616 returns as a gm and immediately they make the biggest move I think of the pre-season in acquiring former SPNHL Gm Burst. He did cost them a 1st and 2nd rounder but, it is 2 picks well spent because this guy is probably one of the most talented forwards in the league. On his wings will probably be Linde and cornect, who having seen both of them play look to form one of the best forward lines in the league. On D, majority of the games will consist of the duo of Cuban and Iachoku (what a surprise), these 2 also make one of the best d pairs in the league. In between the pipes, it will be their 3rd round pick Rancher who has a career 21-6 record in Sp and can most likely keep at this pace with the team in front of him. Depth wise, they have CheifTrout, who is very capable of playing both RW and RD who can certainly and can help out with this talented squad.
Boston Bruins: 4th in the Patrick (8th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Nowelbaby 9th overall, Grippinq 2nd round 8th pick
Best 6:
LW PistolPete7788
C steelersfan26
RW Grippinq/Quinzee
LD Nowelbaby
RD turdburgler169
G JMLPatriots
Pistol Pete returns as a GM from last season after he took control of Pittsburgh after the first week. This time around he got the privilege to pick his own team and did well selecting forwards like Grippinq and Quinzee who are coming off amazing rookie seasons. On the backend, Nowel looks set to lead this group with either Tar-pit or turdburgler on his right, in net, Pete resigned JMLPatriots who I’ve heard is a pretty decent goalie. Although Pete does have some nice talent to play with him, I think this team has a few holes such as Centre depth and on Right defence. Steelers is the only C on the roster BUT, he is only 3 a week, the question is who will he play there, the other 4-6 games, Grippinq? Quinzee? Also after Tar pit was placed on IR his only option at RD is turdburgler who has a grand total of 0 games played as a D in SP. Will Pete end up making a move to help out these holes during the first week, possibly.
Montreal Canadiens: 3rd in the Patrick (7th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Xtailsy 11th overall, Dafoumanchew 2nd round 15th overall
Best 6:
LW Xtailsy
C Killerpatou007
RW Clutchability
LD Irish_Pittbull69
RD jielking
G Dafoumanchew
Irish and the Montreal Canadiens also made a huge move and acquired a star in Clutchability, it did unfortunately cost him a 1st and 3rd rounder but this gives Irish another superstar to play with. Playing with Clutch looks to be Xtailsy on the left, who had a great rookie season and Killerpatou007 in the middle who is the only listed C but, both Irish and jielking can play C if needed. On the backend, it looks to be Irish and jielking but, Clutch and deadrising can play RD so Irish has some options on who is playing where. Surprisingly Irish doesn’t have a goalie on the roster but he does have Dafoumanchew (qc poutine) who is coming off a Stanley cup winning season and is a solid goaltender.
Ottawa Senators: 2nd in the Patrick (5th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Dynasty1989 7th overall, That-One_Shot-22- 5th round 4th pick
Best 6:
LW RandyMarsh2012
C Diirty_Triix_13
RW That-One_Shot-22-
LD Dynasty1989
RD Freefaii
G SgtVandoos
Long time SPNHL veteran Diirty Triix returns as an owner and moves his team to the nation’s Capital Ottawa. Playing on the wings with Triix will most likely be RandyMarsh and possibly the steal of the draft in One shot. This combo definitely has the capacity to put up lots of goals and will be a force to be reckon with. On defence it will likely be Dynasty, who is a good offensive defenceman and Freefaii who is also a very good defenceman. SgtVandoos will be the starter who can be an outstanding goalie but, does have some ugly moments. Triix is in a tough spot with 2 guys quitting on him before the start of the season but, he is a veteran and I’m sure he will find a way to make it work.
New York Rangers: 1st in the Patrick (3rd in the east)
Notable draft picks: Stiivii-66 3rd overall, mjvoell44 2nd round 4th pick
Best 6:
LW mjvoell44
C Ransom613
RW Mg2452
LD Mxster-77
RD Stiivii-66
G Mooner2014
The former Jack Adams winner Kozmo relocates north to New York and looks to go on a deeper playoff run this season. On the front, mjvoell rejoins former Calder winner Ransom, both these guys had outstanding rookie seasons and will likely have great sophomore seasons. Joining these 2 will be MG who is also a talented winger, these 3 look to be one of the best forward lines in the entire league and will be a nightmare for teams to try and stop. On the back end they have 2nd year rookie, Mxster on the left and Stiivii on the right side. Never played or seen these guys play but I’ve heard nothing but good things about Mxster and I’m going to assume Stiivii is very talented after being picked 3rd overall. Last season Kozmo picked Ransom 3rd overall and he ended up winning the Calder, I say there’s a good chance Stiivii is up there for the Calder vote. In net they have the duo of Mooner and Sazer who are both good goalies and can split time without any worries.

League wide Caution!!!!

Season starts monday and with it a strong word of caution to everyone.  Glitches and bugs are a plague in NHL 18.  Among them is the goal stealing bug.  What this is, is a glitch that will remove goals from a random team at a random point in the game.  This can and will likely lead to a conflict between teams who will probably have different recollections of the games score.    I will not make a decision to reverse or correct a games score without video evidence of the lost goal.  Please record or have one person record for each game.  protect yourself.

Mock Draft

SPNHL Season 26 Mock draft
Please remember while you are reading this it’s just a mock up and none of this is what has to happen. If I did another all of the picks would probably be different. This is also has of 11:30 PM on October 1st, so any trades after this may have changed some thing around. This is personal opinion, don’t take anything the wrong way. If you disagree, make your own article.
1st Overall Pick: St Louis Blues(El Rookie)
Prediction: Sedinpower RD $9.00
Description: If you look at the blues roster, el already has 6 guys on there, himself and 5 resigns, however there are 5 forwards and only 1 defenseman. El has the cap space, as he only needs to draft 4 guys to reach the 10 player minimum and has $24.50 to work with. In my opinion this pick is a no brainer. Sedin is solid and can stop the rush and put up points as well.
2nd Overall Pick: Pittsburgh Penguins(Brownsvillesoja)
Prediction: Smashngrab LD $7.00
Description: Browns has himself, cookieman, and kinglyme already, so his team needs defense. Smash is the next best defenseman available after sedin, so this pick should be a no brainer as well. We always have to put into consideration that this is browns and he has turned some heads with his decisions in the past, and could pull some random name that nobody knows.
3rd Overall Pick: New York Rangers(Kozmo)
Prediction: vxWoytkiw8xv LW $7.50
Description: Woy is very easily a top 3 forward available in the draft, and don’t forget he also excels in the defensive aspects of the game. Koz already has mxster who I believe will be a candidate for ROY, so woy can get more reps at forward where we all saw him play phenomenally in lg last season.
4th Overall Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs(Mansel)
Prediction: Bipolorbear $7.00
Description. Mansel already has some good forwards on his team due to resigns and early trades, so getting a goalie than can play 9 a week is key. Seems like every season mansel registers as forward but always gets stuck in net too often, and he is a good enough forward that when he plays, his team should be winning. Bipolor is also a good enough goalie that mansel shouldn’t have to worry about ever benching him
5th Overall Pick: Chicago Blackhawks(Fivepointohhh)
Prediction: OG_KJ-_- LD $6.50
Description: Look at his resigns, he already has hartysauce and stonerboy, 2 guys that always put up points and are top forwards in the league. Fivestar is probably better at defense or goalie, and getting OG shores up that defense even more. With those 2 up from you needs guys to get them the puck, and OG shouldn’t have an issue with that.
6th Overall Pick: Las Vegas Golden Knights(Sergein/Pliskin)
Prediction: Bstieboydp C $7.00
Description: They already have their starting goalie, and boutch or serge could easily hop down there and play defense with way2goal, so picking bstie makes the most sense. He can score and is a top center in the league. Look for him to be near the top of scoring at the end of the season.
7th Overall Pick:Ottawa Senators(Dirty Trix)
Prediction: Dynasty1989 LD $6.00
Description: Trix is starting the draft all by himself, there’s literally nobody else on the roster. He’s a good enough forward that he shouldn’t have to worry about getting immediate scoring help, so getting some solid defenders would be a smart place to start. Dynasty plays smart defense, and also chips in well on the offensive side. He could very easily be in Norris conversations if he gets the right amount of playing time.
8th Overall Pick:Dallas Stars(Avng)
Prediction: Redconcept G $6.50
Description: Avng already has 6 guys on his roster with $24.00 cap still left to work with. If you look, he has 3 dmen and 3 forwards, all he needs is a goalie. Red has good availability and is capable of making the saves when his defense in front of him makes mistakes
9th Overall Pick: Boston Bruins(pistolpete)
Prediction: monokuuu RD $5.00
Description: Pete is a great forward, and he already has his starting goalie in JMLpatriots, so getting a dman to anchor the back end is key. Insert monokuuu. He has great availability and can keep up with everyone else in the league. Did I mention he only has a $5.00 cap his as well?
10th Overall Pick: Ottawa Senators
Prediction: Thatoneshot22 RW $5.50
Description: With dynasty at ld, trix needs another forward that can get him the puck. This pick is more contingent of what trix values more, scoring or goaltending? There’s enough goalies in the draft that he should value scoring, oneshot is a good, playmaking forward that can get trix the puck and they could very easily be a 1-2 punch that most teams won’t be able to stop
11th Overall Pick: Montreal Canadiéns(Irishpitbull)
Prediction: Fishhure LW $5.50
Description: Irish is on defense this season, and he already has clutch upfront so why not add more scoring punch to the offense? Fish is capable of putting up big numbers and in his 10th season of sp is still searching for that first cup win. He has received scrutiny in the past for his “selfish” style of play, but when a guy puts up 3-4ppg, turnovers shouldn’t be an issue.
12th Overall Pick: Los Angeles Kings(mrlolchico)
Prediction: Dafoumanchew RW $7.50
Description: Dafoumanchew aka qcpoutine is more known as a goaltender, but he is also a dominant forward. Chico will be the #dman on this team, and with u12bme at lw and yourmudder in net he’ll most likely look to add some forwards to his team. Don’t forget, they are both French so they probably already know each other.
13th overall pick: Pittsburgh penguins
Prediction: Rickrage C $5.00
Description: Browns already has a top dman with smash, so its time he gets a center to finish off that 1st line. Rick isn’t the #1 center in the league, but he’s more than capable of playing a good, 2 way game while helping put up points as well
14th Overall Pick: Colorado Avalanche(Eggman)
Prediction: jhonny_phonny G $6.50
Description: Egg already has his top forward line set with resigns, and watchurstep_uga only played a handful of games last season so getting Jhonny to play goalie as well is the right move. He’s a top goalie capable of carrying teams at times.
15th Overall Pick: New York Islanders(seedoftavares)
Prediction: N/A
Description: not including myself so people don’t think this is biased or something. I also don’t want anyone knowing my plans
16th Overall Pick:Calgary Flames(sportsgeek)
Prediction: Nowelbaby LD $5.00
Description: With true and redflag upfront, sports doesn’t need another forward just yet, and sports is also in net so this team really needs a defenseman. Nowel can do a really good job at ld and is a #1 dman on most teams
