Notes |
1 |
1801 (L20 - 804) |
|
Matt
(West - Northwest) |
The position is here to make this team stay number one if done right.
Thornton is NHLP MVP right now. Smoking hot! |
2 |
1784 (H1 -
1861, L21 - 713) |
|
Ryan
(East - Northeast) |
Just an awesome
team. Only 4 points clear of 5th so there is plenty of pressure
from behind but this team is just too good not to pull away. Great
job GM Ryan! |
3 |
1722 (H3 - 1930, L4 -
1385) |
|
Jr
(West - Central) |
Great team lead by Crosby. All kinds of position and 6 playoff
players. This team can flat out score. |
4 |
1651 (H4 - 1754, L11 - 972) |
|
Henry
(East - Northeast) |
A nice 6 playoff players and all kinds of position have GM Henry rocking
in the Northeast. Colorado has stayed strong and Stastny and
Wolski have been fantastic. Heatley and Kopitar are great 1-2's.
Will be interesting to see this one unfold. |
5 |
1600 (H2 -
1966, L6 -
1073) |
|
Ryan
(West - Southwest) |
Three Sharks.
We do love this team and they have moved back up the CTR. Position
and Vermette means they can improve further still. |
6 |
1559 (L22 -
702) |
|
Joel
(West - Southwest) |
Flying high in the Southwest is nothing new here for GM Joel.
First place and Crosby with some good support. Great position to
make some offers. |
7 |
1517 (H2 - 1854, L33 -
390) |
|
Scott
(East - Southeast) |
Good position to work with and 6 playoff guys. Boston has fallen
but remain in the playoffs. |
8 |
1486 (H6 - 1528, L5 - 1085) |
|
Michael &
Ray
(West - Northwest) |
About to take over first in the Northwest. NHLP GM's have to love
the fact Thornton and Malkin are on 1-2 teams here in the Northwest, as
only one will eventually get through come playoff time. This is a
spectacular team and still has 3 players not even rated. |
9 |
1465 (H4 - 1664, L17 -
810) |
|
Jr
(East - Atlantic) |
Although 48 points up in the Atlantic, well in control, GM Jr just can't
get healthy now. Smyth is back right after Christmas, but now
Zetterberg is out a couple weeks. Adding to this is Detroit is
playing well, but still out of the playoffs. A crazy deal is all
set here and it is likely to happen sooner than later. |
10 |
1433 (H6 - 1586, L35 - 582) |
|
Scott
(East - Gulf) |
Still the best team in the Gulf with 6 playoff guys all on top seeds.
Will have to make future moves after Miami trades Malkin. May be
able to get 4th place as it is a battle. Top teams in the Gulf
have all kinds of points but not the solid playoff teams just yet. |
11 |
1400 (H1 - 2117, L35 -
367) |
|
Matt
(West - Central) |
With Knuble back the climb has started again in the Central. Only
9 back. Washington players have dipped in the CTR rankings, as New
Jersey and Pittsburgh are the top two teams from the east. |
12 |
1282 (L34 - 629) |
|
Andrew
(East - Southeast) |
Creeping up the CTR with 5 solid playoff guys. Has the Southeast's
highest scoring team so should be in first not to far out. Both
Richards are wild cards as both can be in or out, but both can score. |
13 |
1269 (H3 -
1478, L14 - 913) |
|
Ryan
(West - Central) |
Scoring at a great clip and 5 playoff guys. Has 38 points to work
with so Green Bay should be strong all year. |
14 |
1234 (H8 -
1522, L34 - 437) |
|
Chad
(West - Southwest) |
The three top
teams in the Southwest are going to have some great battles before all
is said and done. GM Chad is in that group here as they team is
solid. Has the position to improve with 2 non playoff guys. |
15 |
1227 (L33 - 440) |
|
Andrew
(West - Pacific) |
A new season high again as the Kings climb here and in the NHL.
Daniel Sedin isn't rated so there is room to move up if Vancouver can
get in. Great position here and heading in the right direction as
the bottom two teams here suck badly in the scoring department.
Waivers can really change a season around when done right as is proven
here. |
16 |
1166 (H1 -
1675, L36 - 410) |
|
Joel
(West - Northwest) |
This team isn't that bad. Has all kinds of
room to play with still and 4 playoff guys. Toews and Versteeg
assure this team to be high all season. |
17 |
1122 (H12 - 1264, L32 - 650) |
|
Charlie
(West - Pacific) |
Top four scorers are in and Parise is just very solid. Should
continue to pull away until Portland (Chad) and San Diego (Mike and Ray)
do something to help their poor scoring. |
18 |
1112 (H2 - 1587) |
|
Tyson
(East - Gulf) |
Sitting with 6
playoff players but is being chased for 4th spot. Kopitar is the
team leader as LA stays solid. Iginla is doing what he does and
Zajac's Devils are tops in the East. Other than maybe
falling into 5th, nothing here to panic about at all. |
19 |
1068 (L43 - 187) |
|
Henry
(East - Gulf) |
GM Henry has moved into his season high CTR here in New Orleans.
Still good position and the second highest scoring team in the division,
so there is room to get better. Kovalchuk and Atlanta remain
strong and his 3 Sens are looking good. Havlat is starting to
score. |
20 |
1064 (L34 -
370) |
|
Scott
(West - Pacific) |
Sullivan is now an asset with Nashville's strong play. Semin and
Semin is the team here. Good position to improve so you know the
deals are being tossed around. |
21 |
973 (L37 - 404) |
|
Charlie
(West - Southwest) |
No team has benefited more than the Coyotes with the great play of
Nashville, sitting here with Dumont and Arnott. Backstrom is still
the man as GM Charlie has a new CTR season high. |
22 |
942 (L42 -
281) |
|
Marcel
(East - Gulf) |
First place in the Gulf and up 48 points is all great stuff, but the
leading scorer is a non playoff player and only 3 playoff guys exist.
Marcel has 82 non playoff points here and he got caught last season when
he could do anything come the end of the season with the points and non
playoff guys. He has to watch it and not get caught again. |
23 |
935 (H10 -
1106, L26 - 588) |
|
Jr
(East - Gulf) |
Everything is
good, but not great here. Lots of position but the big gun, Henrik
Sedin is still out and not being rated. Many GM's are certain that
will change, but we are 35 games in, almost half way. |
24 |
930 (H14 -
1254, L39, 372) |
|
Michael & Ray
(East - Northeast) |
Still 17 back
and not scoring with a whopping amount of talent. Kane, Elias and
Langenbrunner will get numerous offers. Only 21 out of 2nd, so can
move up in a hurry. |
25 |
799 (H13 -
1034, L34 - 569) |
|
Charlie
(East - Gulf) |
The lack of scoring has finally caught up with GM Charlie and
Miami is now 13 back of 5th and now 25 back of 3rd, where just last
rating he was only 10 back of 3rd. Malkin is the asset to change
things on a dime, but what will he get in return is the question? |
26 |
791 (L43 - 106) |
|
Tyson
(West - Central) |
Hamilton continues to creep higher. GM Tyson has 153 points and is
only 3rd in the Central. Not set for the playoffs by any means,
but still with room to work with. Gaborik is finally rated again. |
27 |
750 (H13 -
1188, L38 - 333) |
|
Tyson
(East - Southeast) |
Still only 9
out with Ovechkin. Sharp doesn't appear to be leaving Chicago
until after the season, which is great news. Bottom half of this
team will have to improve. |
28 |
746 (H16 - 962, L33 - 611) |
|
Joel
(East - Atlantic) |
A bit of an upward swing and this is without his two Vancouver players
helping in the CTR as they are out of the playoffs. Kovalchuk is a
great asset as long as Atlanta stays in. Over 20 points to work
with doesn't hurt here at all. |
29 |
720 (H10 -
1158, L35 - 512) |
|
Michael & Ray
(East - Atlantic) |
The scoring woes continue here. Toews remains the big asset with
Roy attractive. After that it is bleak big time. |
30 |
700 (H2 - 1337, L36 - 347) |
|
Henry
(West - Pacific) |
Only the 3 Sens are playoff players. Good thing for the 27 points
to work with to improve. The Spezza injury really hurts. |
31 |
667 (H16 - 1055, L46 - 124) |
|
Chad
(West - Pacific) |
Chad isn't the 20+ back that the CTR predicted, but he is 6 back and
fading. The team does have 3 playoff players, so improvements
through trading can occur but Philly, Briere and
Giroux aren't desirable right now as the Flyers struggle. |
32 |
656 (H22 - 853, L36 - 258) |
|
Chad
(East - Northeast) |
Going through some injury problems as half the team is currently on the
shelf, but is still tied for 4th. Arnott has moved up nicely as
Nashville is flying in the West. Picked up hot scoring Dan Sexton
of the Ducks who is filling in while Selanne and Lupul are out and he
has 7 points in 8 games. |
33 |
627 (H11 - 1084, L35 - 376) |
|
Henry
(West - Central) |
Dumont is a pleasant surprise as Nashville climbs the standings.
Still only 2 playoff players and position isn't there anymore with Indy
coming on strong. Things will likely get worse here before they
get better. |
34 |
606 (H30 - 763, L41 -
290) |
|
Joel
(East - Southeast) |
Lead by two non playoff players and only 9 points up on 5th.
Getting good mileage from Weber as Nashville is
hot. |
35 |
594 (H19 - 952, L45 - 156) |
|
Chad
(East - Southeast) |
Things continue to get worst. Not a lot of position to work with.
Iginla and Hejduk are no longer top 4 teams. |
36 |
553 (L47 - -4 |
|
Jr
(West - Northwest) |
Jr is creeping
closer and is only 23 back of 4th. Elias is a huge asset and Erat
may never have more value as Nashville is totally dominating right now.
We still expect a big deal here and Jr can take on some deadbeats as he
has good low numbers for the minors. |
37 |
546 (H37 - 621, L47 -
130) |
|
Tyson
(West - Southwest) |
Battling with GM Charlie for 4th. Not much
of a playoff team after Parise but that is nothing that an aggressive
waiver can't cure. |
38 |
506 (H15 - 1136) |
|
Andrew
(East - Atlantic) |
Has hit a season low CTR. Only 2 playoff players with Philly out.
Not a lot of points to work with. Gagne back
will help the scoring but an overhaul will be needed if Philly continues
to remain out. |
39 |
426 (H6 -1272, L41 - 367) |
|
Ryan
(East - Atlantic) |
This team doesn't have much after the position. Best player is
currently on a team that is an 8th seed. Has position to work with
but not many assets as the standings go. |
40 |
404 (H25 - 799, L40 - 248) |
|
Michael &
Ray
(West - Pacific) |
The Griffins have now became the NHLP's lowest scoring team. To
make matters worse they are 17 out and now without Zetterberg for a
couple weeks so things are to get worse without change. The assets
are the only thing keeping this team afloat. |
41 |
396 (H39 - 423, L47 - 55) |
|
Marcel
(West - Southwest) |
Still with the lowest scoring team in the Southwest, but only 4
back of 4th. Having no position to work with and 3 non playoff
guys isn't helping. |
42 |
391 (H19 - 882, L42 - 238) |
|
Marcel
(West - Northwest) |
GM Marcel has
ONLY 23 points to work with now and this team sucks! It needs a
lot of work to say the least. 85% of this teams scoring is non
playoff players. Hard to believe this team is even in 4th! |
43 |
260 (H31 -
430, L45 - 51) |
|
Charlie
(East - Atlantic) |
Things continue to suck in new York for Chuck. Hossa has been ok,
but not great as he has fallen off the point per game mark. This
isn't the worst scoring team in the Atlantic, but it is 19 back and full
of injuries. All indications are Hossa will likely have to be
packaged at some point. Let the auction begin! |
44 |
172 (H7 -
1262, L46 - 90) |
|
Matt
(East - Northeast) |
Gaborik is in, battling for 8th but GM Matt has his hands full of
resistance in the very, very tight Northeast. With only 2 playoff
guys this team needs a lot of work, but has nothing as far as points to
work with. |
45 |
80 (H34 - 575) |
|
Marcel
(East - Northeast) |
A season low
for GM Marcel. No position and one playoff player that likely no
one wants. Datsyuk is here, but where are the Red Wings?
Where is the team that won the cup then went to the finals last year?
This team is going to continue to fall as it can't score with the rest
here. Well that is if Toronto (Chad) was healthy - which he is
not! |
46 |
55 (H44 - 362) |
|
Andrew
(West - Central) |
A CTR low now as things are not pretty.
Detroit remains unrated leaving only 1 playoff guy, Williams. GM
Andrew is 17 back with the lowest scoring team in the Central.
Good luck with this one! |
47 |
-36 (H37 -
343, L48 - - -80) |
|
Matt
(East - Southeast) |
What a mess! |
48 |
-63 (H46 - 110, L48 - -150) |
|
Scott
(West - Northwest) |
The Krejci deal and the waiver were a step back
for the Oil, but the new found scoring may change the teams fortunes
around, "It is do or die with Markov's health and his scoring" says
Muddy Capone. |
