#8 - Minority Report
Simeon Varlamov
I believe the one player that holds the key to Minority Reports season is Varly. We all know what Lundy will bring, but the x-factor is Varly. He is having an outstanding season thus far in the KHL and he'll be looking to carry that play back over here when (if) the season ever starts. Currently he is 2nd in Save % in the K with a stellar 94.2.
Johniya has made the playoffs twice in his first 5 years in the TOFHL. You shouldn't underestimate this team though as he finished 3rd in the regular season with 265 points last season. Another contributor to this team that needs to step his game back up is P. Kane. With Minority Report finishing 3rd it's scary to think what if P. Kane played up to his potential last year. How deep could this team have gone?
As per usual, Johniya didn't have a pick until the middle of the 2nd round where he selected Derek Roy who found a new home this offseason in Dallas. In the middle rounds, he found some young defensemen in Cam Fowler, OEL, and Stefan Elliott who all have huge upside and could breakout at any time. OEL has been so good in his short career that Phoenix has entertained the thought of trading Yandle, which says a lot. Erik Johnson is his 4th defenseman who is also young and has some potential as he was selected 1st overall in the NHL in 2006. If he can find his game, this defensive core could be the best in the league.
This was another team that was all over the board. Minority Report was ranked as high as 3rd (twice) and as low as second to last (twice). The final result will depends on if P. Kane decides he wants to play and not party at colleges anymore, and if Varly and Colorado can take it to the next level which I believe will happen.
#7 slotted for Tuesday! The last team NOT to make playoffs.
