|
Jr |
Talk about top seeds! Crosby of course, no surprise there, but GM
Jr must have had some real crazy insight for he has Liles, Hejduk and
Vanek all on 1-2 seeds as Colorado and Buffalo continue to win.
Even when they start to continue to lose, Jr has points, scoring and
Sid. We love what can be done but will Jr love what he ends up
doing? We'll find out... |
2 |
1337 (L36 -
347) |
|
Henry |
WOW - Penner has 14 points in 9 games and Edmonton is top 4 seed.
Ottawa is in and Alfredsson and Spezza are over a PPG combined.
This Team is in first in the Pacific and about to get better when
Nylander is sent down for 5 points. This is one incredible jump
and although Canada hasn't won a Cup since 1993, GM Henry's team is
American! |
3 |
1241 (H2 - 1587) |
|
Tyson |
Six playoff
guys but players slowing and teams fading have dropped the CTR.
Kopitar has been great even with LA dropping seeds. GM Tyson is
still in first in the Gulf and outscoring 3 teams behind him. Does
not have a player on a top two seed East or West. |
4 |
1116 (L15 -
973) |
|
Andrew |
GM Andrew moves up in CTR points even with Gonchar now out a month.
In the Southeast he continues to score. The biggest surprise here
is two Phoenix players top two seeds! What the FUCK! |
5 |
1085 (H8 -
1258) |
|
Michael &
Ray |
Punks! Fucking damn Punks!!! Malkin, Staal and Sharp,
although nothing else the youngin's are real potential to make noise all
year. What will they do under pressure is what we look most
forward too? Do your homework kiddies and be prepared, you really
do have a shot at this thing and we aren't even out of October!
Great work! |
6 |
1073 (H9 - 1221) |
|
Ryan |
GM Ryan is
flying but although leading the Southwest, Thornton and Setoguchi are
non playoff guys. This is crazy stuff to imagine but we are 1/8th
through the season. This is the time someone makes the first move,
a Savard, Datsyuk or for Ryan a Heatley. Are they worth 20 points
right now? Don't complain when one of these guys are offered 20
tomorrow and it is excepted, for this was your heads up. It'll
happen, but will they except? |
7 |
1042 (L28 -554) |
|
Andrew |
Update #4) Nice move by GM Andrew here grabbing Pavelski.
Pavelski had a great season last year and 2 points in 2 games to start
this season, with 10 shots in just those two games. What kills
here will be staying in a playoff spot in the Atlantic after losing
Gagne for 6 weeks. This team is high on Philadelphia but will
likely have to change that in time to get into the playoffs.
GM Andrew got great news with Demitra going out for the season as he
will now be replaced November 1st by a playoff player with 5 points.
Not too far out - Andrew will start his climb in the Atlantic. This
team is living and dying on Philadelphia with 3 Flyers and they are
borderline in. Edmonton is looking sharp, but where this team goes
at the moment rests with the Flyers. |
8 |
1014 (L17 -
810) |
|
Jr |
Zetterberg and Marleau are both non playoff guys 10 games in.
Smyth is as crazy as many would think Colorado is to be sitting as the
top seed in the West. Great season so far for Pominville but as
great the position in the Atlantic being 17 up, this team is only
sitting with 2 playoff players. |
9 |
1013 (H13 -
1034) |
|
Charlie |
Still loving this team. Malkin is on fire and the Penguins look
strong, Cup winning strong. Campbell is scoring strong and Chicago
and Washington are looking like top 4 seeds. Battling in the Gulf
with the lowest scoring team in the division, but not anything to panic
about as this is a good team. |
10 |
996 (H10 -
1158) |
|
Michael & Ray |
What a hit Toews took! He was off to a slow start and now will this be
a nothing or a something moving forward? Being in last in
the Atlantic doesn't mean anything as the Rooks still have a solid
playoff team of 5 players with Roy leading the way. If Toews goes
long term this team will have to be broken up before it gets better. |
11 |
972 (H14 -
978) |
|
Henry |
GM Henry is 20 points up in the Northeast so will be able to improve as
the 4, 5 and 6th place teams suck. Heatley is killing the ranking
as he is a non playoff player. Doan is carrying this team as
Phoenix is a top 2 seed in the West. |
12 |
958 (L35 -
367) |
|
Matt |
A HUGE upswing in the CTR ratings. Ovechkin and Knuble have this
team moving way up despite still 3 non playoff guys. With room and
scoring in the Central GM Matt will improve. His first waiver of
the season awaits! Make it good, you don't have another. |
13 |
932 (H12 - 1043, L35 - 376) |
|
Henry |
Update #3) When Pavelski comes back it will be an improvement over
Modano who is beyond his best years. GM Henry has a lot of fringe
playoff players who are helping the rating, but for how long? The
team drops heavily when these teams drop out but for now Henry does have
good position which can only get better with more scoring from his new
addition.
It seems we have just been doing this too long. We doubted GM
Henry could keep this team so high for very long. One thing we
would not have done was bet they'd crash so quickly. Top scorers
St Louis and Dumont (who is on fire) are both not playoff players.
Top seeded player is Cogliano. Need we say more? The lone
bright spot...this team is outscoring the entire Central! |
14 |
913 (H3 -
1478) |
|
Ryan |
Everyone is dropping with the NHL standings seemingly upside down.
Bourque and Neal continue to carry the team and GM Ryan has stretched
out a nice 18 point lead in the Central. The CTR loves the scoring
but Vancouver and Boston have the team going in the wrong direction. |
15 |
877 (H7 -
1262) |
|
Matt |
Gaborik, Carter and Tkachuck continue to score as Quebec rolls in the
Northeast. Philly is borderline playoffs and Phoenix is surprising
people so it is still up in the air as to where this team fits.
What is for sure is the Northeast teams below are bad so Matt will
continue to gain. |
16 |
869 (H16 -962) |
|
Joel |
Kovo and Gabby are a great start and GM Joel is off to a great start, 16
up on 4th in the Atlantic. Boston boys holding this team back. |
17 |
867 (L20 -
760) |
|
Charlie |
Chuck has 6 playoff guys and is moving up without his 2nd round pick
playing yet this season. GM Charlie drafted Hossa in the 2nd round
and although a few GM's thought that as a quick pick for a player out
the first 25 games of the season, Charlie is doing just fine.
Chuck is in second in the Pacific without Hossa so the potential is
there for making a great team even though great teams are not something
Chuck is known for. |
18 |
828 (22 -
702) |
|
Joel |
Crosby. GM Joel is in second in the Southwest, meaning we'll see
who he builds around Crosby. |
19 |
807 (H5 -
1308) |
|
Scott |
Ottt? Nothing we can do about that but although Ott is back Minny
has taken a nose dive. Leading scorer Stamkos has fallen out of
the playoffs and although still sitting with 5 playoff guys no top
seeded players. Only New Orleans is scoring better in the Gulf so
position should improve for GM Scott here. |
20 |
804 (H11 -
1056) |
|
Matt |
Big Joe and Boyle mean nothing here as San Jose is out of the playoffs.
So many NHLP GM's have low ratings for they are banking on teams out of
the playoffs through 10 NHL games. This is hardly a season but are
any of these current, or non current playoff teams for real? Will
a surprise team stay good, or a expected good team continue to fade? It is
always nice to be in first while the league sorts itself out. |
21 |
794 (L21 - 713) |
|
Ryan |
A great
position in the Northeast but horrible news with the Gonchar injury.
GM Ryan has all top scoring teams and will easily weather the storm here
with high scorer Thornton. Big Joe is sitting out of a playoff
spot and has GM Ryan here way down instead of way up. |
22 |
760 (L34 -
370) |
|
Scott |
SeminnimeS |
23 |
730 (L38 - 333) |
|
Tyson |
Although one
hell of a jump from 333 to 730 CTR points, Ovehckin is just everything
for GM Tyson in Cleveland. Detroit, Boston, Vancouver and St Louis
are non playoffs (hard to believe) and Tyson has only two playoff
players even though well in first in the Southeast. Washington has
moved up so with a great like Ovechkin, so of course has Tyson, but this team cannot
win with just one player! |
24 |
694 (L33 -
390) |
|
Scott |
Ebbett deal will keep the Flyer pulling away from teams behind.
Connolly continues to carry this team as Buffalo is the Phoenix of the
East. Will either Buffalo or Phoenix finish as playoff teams?
So far both are top 2 seeds. |
25 |
693 (L46 - 124) |
|
Chad |
Updated #2) A remarkable climb with two injury transactions has GM
Chad nearing the top 20 spot. Dropping Bouchard and adding a hot
Buffalo Sabre is a great move. How serious though is Briere's
groin injury? Missing over 50 games last year Briere is back out
of the lineup and some fears are starting to creep in that maybe this
groin is going to follow his career. Still well back in the
Pacific but finally going in the right direction.
Updated #1) Dropping Pavelski for Pominville caused a jump from #46 to
#33, a subtle move but the rankings liked it. Buffalo is playing
well, but how well will they be as the season goes will determine if
this was a good or bad move for GM Chad.
The lowest scoring NHLP team isn't that much better in the CTR ratings.
With Duncan Keith as the only playoff player GM Chad doesn't have much
being in last in the Pacific, a division that already sucks.
"Henry out-scored him in a day" said Muddy Capone, "I'd hate to see this
team if Danny Briere goes down next." |
26 |
684 (H6 -1272) |
|
Ryan |
A huge drop for GM Ryan. Every team dropped in the seeding.
Prospal and Mike Richards still are on fire but two Detroit players is
hurting the ranking as they struggle early. |
27 |
654 (L30 - 458) |
|
Charlie |
Update #7) GM Charlie made two injury picks, but he picked up two
non playoff guys in the process. This team is nothing right now
without Backstrom and only has two playoff guys and tied for 4th in the
Southwest.
Talbot should turn this team around soon when he becomes a 5 point
playoff guy, but in the mean time Backstrom leads the way for Chuck's Yotes. |
28 |
632 (H1 -
1675) |
|
Joel |
Ok - We stand corrected. This team was not number one. Will
they ever get back? This is a massive drop. Tampa Bay went
from a 3rd seed to a non playoff team, so Martin St Louis goes from hot to
nothing. Chicago, Columbus and Anaheim also all drop seeds. Toews
is seeing double, but you are not, Joel's Vancouver is no where near the number
one on the NHLP CTR Ranking anymore and likely never again. |
29 |
622 (L26 - 588) |
|
Jr |
Horcoff has
been a real disappointment with such a great Edmonton start. Top
scorer Henrik Sedin is screwing everything up with Vancouver's terrible
start. |
30 |
530 (H23 -
690) |
|
Henry |
Derek Roy here remains mint as Buffalo continues to shock many with
their great play after 10 NHL games. Half this team is non playoff
and no position to work with. Kovalchuk (injured or not?) must continue to score and
remain a playoff player or this team dives. |
31 |
442 (l42 -
281) |
|
Marcel |
GM Marcel has already started his climb but remains with only 2 playoff
guys and sits in last play in the Gulf. Getzlaf has started very
slow for a 1st round pick. |
32 |
442 (L41 -
290) |
|
Joel |
What a wonderful feeling this must be for GM Joel. Oh sure he
still has the lowest scoring team, sitting in last place in the
Southeast Division, but he actually moved up the CTR.
Yaaaaaa (clapping hands too). Make no
mistake, this team still sucks, no one worth anything...but they moved
up. Good Going Joey!!! |
33 |
440 (H30 -
450) |
|
Andrew |
GM Andrew is just trying to stay close until Daniel Sedin gets back and
so far, so good. Not much is pretty here and this
isn't a team that will ever win it all without GM Andrew working his
magic. |
34 |
437 (19 - 789) |
|
Chad |
Lecavalier has
fallen out of the playoffs. Surprise, surprise! The bright spot for other GM's in this
league is Chad loves to stick around after the meetings and play cards.
How truly sweet is that? |
35 |
393 (H28 - 508) |
|
Michael &
Ray |
Elias will
change everything when he returns but at the moment Kane or Bust here in
Ottawa. Vancouver is hurting the rankings here and everywhere else. |
36 |
320 (H31 -
430) |
|
Charlie |
Still in 4th in the Atlantic but CTR rating is dropping. Only
sitting with 2 playoff players and Hossa has yet to play a game this
season. Eric Staal has stalled and only bright spot is Kotalik.
Not a pretty team and likely to be out of fourth by next CTR ranking. |
37 |
317 (H37 -
343) |
|
Matt |
GM Matt cannot be happy with this team. Vancouver is out and when
your top scorer is worthless in a deal you can't be happy. |
38 |
258 (H24 -
632) |
|
Chad |
This is getting really ugly. Last in the Northeast and being
carried by Stastny in Colorado. So far so good, but many
predicted the Aves to be on the other end of the standings. Souray
is the only other playoff player and he has 0 points in 3 games and one
fucking hell of a headache! |
39 |
255 (L43 -
253) |
|
Andrew |
Five non playoff players. Least he climb in the CTR Ranking. |
40 |
248 (H40 - 310) |
|
Michael &
Ray |
On paper this is one of the very best teams. Zetterberg, Setoguchi,
Wheeler, Recchi, Langkow, Zubrus. This is good drafting.
Sure right now this team sucks ass, but it is truly good drafting.
Detroit, San Jose and Boston are out of the playoffs right now.
That is the Eastern and Western number one teams from last year and the
Wings, cup finalists. We don't know what to say! |
41 |
246 (L45 - 215) |
|
Jr |
It is actually
still pretty ugly but it is still pretty much better than Edmonton. |
42 |
238 (H18 - 796) |
|
Marcel |
Higgins has 2
points in 10 games. He is your top seeded playoff player. This
team wanted to move to Hamilton - but is best suited for Siberia! |
43 |
222 (H39 -
323) |
|
Tyson |
It hurts when your number one pick (Daniel Sedin) is out. Oh sure
we laugh when it is the other guy...but it kills you when it is you.
How close can he stay over the next month remains to be seen but for a
Rookie in a spot that no GM has
answers for, we feel for Tyson in Hamilton! |
44 |
184 (H44 - 229) |
|
Marcel |
When your 1st,
2nd and 3rd round picks are all non playoffs - oh boy! Detroit,
Montreal and Detroit again were GM Marcel's picks and although Datsyuk,
Cammalleri and Rafalski are stars, this team is horrible without them in
the playoffs. |
45 |
156 (H32 -
421) |
|
Chad |
OK, Iggy was off to a slow start. He has since picked it up. GM Chad
Drops!!! Why? Well, honestly it is because this teams is brutal! Montreal is out and not looking great,
Tampa Bay, St Louis and Vancouver suck. So it really doesn't
matter how good Iggy is, and we do love Iggy, 5 floaters behind him
won't get Chad's Pittsburgh anywhere! |
46 |
144 (H38 - 290, L47 -
130) |
|
Tyson |
Update #5) Well not much has gone right here so far for GM Tyson.
Losing a Frazen is very costly even though Detroit still hasn't looked
great. Adding Kessel may help the position as he has fallen into
last place here in the Southwest. Parise is the only playoff guy.
When Parise is your only playoff guy, how high do you expect to be
ranked? We love Zach but with Cole and Franzen both long team
injuries, although they will be replaced, what will GM Tyson's Blues
look like by season's end? |
47 |
55 (H46 -
183) |
|
Marcel |
Well it isn't Marc Savard carrying this team. So who is it?
Antropov? Yikes! |
48 |
35 (L48-
-20) |
|
Scott |
Savard (Broken Foot)
Lucic (Broken Finger)
Booth (Broken Everything)
Each and everyone one of you can go straight to hell! |
