9. San Diego Gulls - @l1l Sharp l0l is sexy however he will bid 10mil on @Odieeeeee and 10mil on @Jemima ruining his team.
10. Hershey Bears - @Studz x 7 is sexy but definitely will make a couple bad decisions in bidding.

12. Bridgeport Sound Tigers - @Vahey x 19 attempts to make the post season cut by grabbing on to @Manship x 91
13. Bakersfield Condors @Schweenster has always been a fringe type of manager.
14. Utica Comets @tranqzz attempts to start anew to crawl back to the calder!
15. Cleveland Monsters - the 555 makes its return as @KrawcH x is welcomed back to the AHL.
16. Binghamton Devils @TertleToes and @Roubidoo attempt to sizzle with the devils.

AND NOW, FOR THE BOTTOM 16! The teams you don't want to touch your no no square.


Tier 4: BOTTOM 16, Almost! Oof!
17. San Jose Barracuda - Too many returning players from a failed team. @MBell91 @Johnny H0ckey
18. Laval Rockets - can the cancer french @NEEMMM keep a team on track for a full season?
19. Belleville Senators - @C0TES and @Ca Na Da 4L will do a subpar job.
20. Chicago Wolves - @Grandpa Jagr is west coast so his team will be bad.
21. Syracuse Crunch - This could be the only mistake in this entire list! @MOISTPAWG @Darkenn28
22. Springfield Thunderbirds - @Mr WorldWlde 69 should have kept his 4mil contract and let a good player take the free.

Tier 5: BOTTOM 10, Just another way to say its gonna be that bad. Sorry!
23. Ontario Reign - After another collapse, and poor management @SmiTTy x 12 explores a new team to sort of run.

--------------------------------------------------

How'd everything turn out?
As far as rating who would be in the top 16 and the bottom 16 these were pretty spot on. These came in with over 70% correct. Good Job Salty.

The real bottom 4:

32: WBS Penguins - 0/10 Fillet of Fishes - Guess Bottom 4 (CORRECT)
Vatty failed miserably with really bad pick ups in bidding. He basically built a CHL squad of friends who worship him and ate those Ls in spectacular fashion. After making over 35 trades within 3 weeks, he has put together what is likely to be a normal Vatty team where most of the players take Bans instead of staying their for the remainder of the season.

31: Bridgeport Sound Tigers - 1/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess TOP 16 (WRONG)
Not sure anyone expected Bridgeport to be that competitive, but the benefit of the doubt was given. This team only gets 1/10 Fillet o' Fishes from me. Shoutout to @B1GBEAR22 dudes a mess.

30: Chicago Wolves - 5/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess BOTTOM 16 (CORRECT)
This team has good pieces to make something work. It will just take some good management to make it happen. With players like @RAMPAGEx91 and @vGrxmpy they can atleast form 1 really good line. Picking up super cancer @l REFORMED l may be a mistake depending on how bad the team discord is already. @Belial I19I should be winning games, but falling short against the likes of @MURPH0270 which just can't happen. With the right adjustments, this team could pull off a comeback. The players just need to give it their all.

29: Rockford Ice Hogs: 2/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess BOTTOM 10 (CORRECT)
Expensive weak forwards put this team behind the curve. Obviously just a couple PSN guys who couldnt make the transfer to xbox skill wise as they have struggled against a much stronger player base. PSN just sucks, what else can I say?

The Bottom 16:

28: Colorado Eagles: 0/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess TOP 10 (WRONG)
Without gifts from the NHL, and a bad go at bidding without everyone doing the work for him... @Smitterr has taken a once proud Colorado Eagles team and turned it into 1 cup with out the girls.

27: Lehigh Valley Phantoms: 2/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 4 (CLOSE/CORRECT)
It's @Sportfreak114 and when have you ever thought as a player going into bidding, I really want to be on that guys team! There is atleast 1 line that could maybe compete as a 1st line but would leave the other 2 below 3rd lines. They need to abandon ship and get their good players moved for next seasons assets. ABANDON SHIP.

26: Syracuse Crunch: 2/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 16 (CORRECT)
@Chicago Liights and @Streetsmurf need to find new homes, everyone else sorry but sometimes thats LG.

25: Laval Rocket: 3/10 Fillet o' FIshes - Guess Bottom 16 (CORRECT)
The fall of @Laporshkin x 71 is real. Just not playing the level required by a free contract. @NEEMMM can't carry this team, and @Gthumbz42o has never been a good manager so that was a huge mistake since I hear he is the one running things. IF they want to have a chance, they need to fire Gthumbz and make some moves quick.

24: Iowa Wild: 2/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 4 (CLOSE/CORRECT)
None of it looks good. This team is going to continue to spiral toward the bottom of the league.

23: Rochestor Americans: 0/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 4 (CLOSE/CORRECT)
After a good first week, the rails completely fell off this express as all the cooks left the America's top chef. Their is just nothing scary on this roster and I assume it will continue to drop in the standings as the weeks press on. Good try @Draward x 97

22: Texas Stars: 4/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess TOP 16 (WRONG)
THERE WERE SO MANY DRAFT PICKS TO START THE SEASON, this looked like a resurgance of the Utica that @PigsOnJupiter and @James HetfieId were in charge of. Just a spectacular amount of assets and 0 execution by the management. Even with them in the bottom 16, they seem content on not moving much. Not sure what the plan is here, but they have so many DPs to trade to worse teams to possibly make a comeback.

21: San Jose Barracuda: 3/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 16 (CORRECT)
They came back with almost the same team as last sesason. Whatd they expect when bidding was such a great pool of really good players? By returning with so many of the same players, they actually took a big step back and thats why they are in the bottom 16. This would have been a good idea, if it were not for Rona season.

20: Springfield Thunderbirds: 1/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 16 (CORRECT)
Lol, "@Mr WorldWlde 69 should have kept his 4mil contract and let a good player take the free." That statement alone is the truest. The team has a couple good players, and is also 1st in the league with 40+ Trades. None of the trades really working out as Springfield continues to pile up the Losses. Worldwide has failed to beat even the most mediocre of players as @Moist Slurps steam rolled him in a 7-1 win loss to Providence Bruins. Just going on to prove that Mr Worldwide should change his name to Mr ButtFarts.

19: Palm Springs Firebirds: 3/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Bottom 16 (CORRECT)
@McQxade said he had a legit plan to bring in some great players, but has failed to fulfill his promise in his first season as a manager outside the CHL. Don't expect much from these Firebirds unless they can make some steals before the deadline.

18: Utica Comets: 7/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Top 16 (CLOSE/WRONG)
I'm not really sure what to think of Utica. I just recently helped @Reidsss fix his problematic internet that would cause him to have packet loss and he went 3-0 this week. So my apologies to the league. With Reids internet fixed, and some good players on the roster I expect this team to climb up the standings. With the right moves at the deadline this could be a good team to end the season.

17: Tuscon Roadrunners: 1/10 Fillet o' Fishes - Guess Top 16 (CLOSE/WRONG)
Sir SweatsAlot @DEC3PTIVE 1 and "THE SYSTEM" have systematically failed this season trying to bring back the same boring trap style of play that most competent players know how to get through. They are still can find bad teams that can't break it just enought to make Deceptive feel like this is still the way to go, but without a Calder to prove it the Roadrunners are expected to stay a fringe team.

 

Man, really fucked up hard by not re-reading through lol. oof. Remember kids, always proof-read.

 

@LG McDonald would be proud of you. I guess there is a first for everything.

 

Crazy how critical people can be when their is a couple mistakes that barely even affect the thread itself. People live to be jackasses lol. Imagine making comments about it.

Decided not to finish the top 16 part of the thread. No reason too since people are being so critical over nothing. Hate to put in an hour or so of work to just get trolled. Oh well. Thanks to those of you that enjoyed it. People like Broomball, Bossy, and the rest of you can go suck a rock.

 

The CUMMMMMETSS

 

hmmm

 

I rather enjoyed the write up Moist. Was a well thought out idea to bank off his previous ranks and see where they lined up. Appreciate the effort. It’s a shame trolls ruined it. Would have been nice to see Top 16. Good media

 

@Pipsqveak we get no credit for that Utica team, and once again @PigsOnJupiter you do the managerial stuff?
