Well unfortunately I am a busy man in January. But here it is 3.5 weeks late. The saying is better late than never right? 

Leon Yu (EDM): Leon! Top of the Pacific! Great job, any team with Matthews, Mcdavid, and Marchand on it has a chance to go far, but can you separate the BRHL top heavy Oilers with the real life Oilers? I say yes, because you have some depth and a goaltender. I would be adding what you can at the deadline and taking a real good shot at what could be a championship year for the oilers. 

Sumit Purba (SJ): Well what a suprise this is, for those who claim defense don't hold value in the sim, you might need to question your methods here. Sumit has truly built his team around a very very strong blueline and has been getting some serious results. If I am Sumit I am adding some serious forward help with the futures he has to maybe turn himself into a legit contender, but I just can't see a championship in the future of Sumit without some help up front. 

Kevin Switzer (CGY): Big Kev! You roster Ryan Johansen which is your biggest problem, but asides from that this looks like a pretty alright team top to botto,m. You could probably use an upgrade on the back end but at this point it is just a quesstion of wether or not you ever move out your crazy surplus of futures  and truly want to compete for a championship, which seems to be the question year after year. 

Joe Bast (VGK): Joe! I;m going to roast you a little bit here so I apologize in advance. You may be a good man, but to me this team just screams mediocre. You are ranked 14th in goals for and goals against, while having the 24th place PP (14.37%), and what is obviously an elite PK which ranks 26th at a whopping 78.8%. To me, it just seems like this isn't anywhere near the best foot that Joe has put forward and doesn't seem to be a year where he'll be a legit contender, sell off the rentals and move on for next year. 

Rob Botham (VAN): I can't help but notice that your name sounds a lot like Rock Bottom, the finishing move of WWE hall of famer "The Rock". While your name may contend for the Hall of Fame. your team certainly does not. While this seems like a drastic improvement compared to last year, this still isn't your contending year, sell off the futures and try again next year, and don't pay sumit a ton of money for what is now an F level Canucks prospect. 

Tyler Rumpel (LA): Well this is quite the shit show we see here, which isn't anything out of the ordinary for a team run by Rumpy, at least in hockey. There is just an absolute fuckload of money wasted on goaltending here, to not even have that good of goaltending. I'm not sure what Rumpy's plan was here, but it seems to be a massive failure. The BRFL Panthers will take care of Rumpy this week in football, and who knows what will happen to Rumpy after that loss, I would imagine a lot of liquor will be going down the hatch and I feel bad for anybody who is going to have to deal with that. 

Rex Leak (SEA): Rexy!! Despite your reputation in this league, you have been nothing but good to me in PMS and are usually a positive person for me to talk to, crazy the difference compared to what the majority of this league seems to think. You desparately need to add some forwards and must have a plan to add some in the off-season. Could next year be the year we see Rex in a playoff spot? Some work to do for sure but I think it's doable if that is the path he takes. 

Devon Cordell (ANA): Well, this was quite the tournaround we have ourselves here. Last year at this time I believe I was watching my brother have what was a great chance at a cup, which didn't pan out and now we find ourselves here. I would like to believe that Devon will finally rebuild properly again, but stay the course of being a contender for multiple years, I am just not convinced he has that in him. I would like to see Devon execute a proper rebuild, which means continuing what he is doing now for a couple years, and then hopefully he will stay a contender for a long time after that. 

Sorry this took so long, but as many of you may already know, planning a wedding and having a life can keep you quite busy! Until next time gentlemen.
