This season our scouting department will be giving an update prior to the start of each game week to give you all the information you need to get your team top of the standings.
Roster Moves
We have just the one new signing this week which is on the back of news that Manchester Storm’s Evan Weninger is out injured. They decided that cover was needed right away so have brought in David Tendeck who joins from Florida in the ECHL. His first few years of professional hockey were pretty solid but he bounced around four teams last year and only appeared in 11 games all year. It’s a similar story so far in Florida this year as Tendeck has only made two appearances. He should get the majority of starts in Manchester as they only have Alex Oldale who can start games. He is added in at 8.0M.
Most selected player last week was Ethan Strang of the Guildford Flames after some good recent form. His 9 new GM’s will have been slightly disappointed to have only picked up 9 points over Guildford’s three games. Three players were tied for second with five selections, with two of those being goalies. Matt Greenfield’s additional five selection’s now take him to first overall with 110, three clear of Joe Morrow. Jackson Whistle is now up to 60 selections overall after his additional five selections, and finally Josh MacDonald moves up to 86 selections overall.
Most traded away player, with 5 selections, is Storm’s Evan Weninger after news of his injury broke during the week. There are still 59 GM’s who still have in on their roster who no points forthcoming. Fellow injured goalie Ryan Bednard was next, followed by Belfast duo Elijiah Barriga and Scott Conway.

We had a successful tip last week with Kristoff Kontos putting up 33 points for us as Nottingham continued their good form. This week our schedule update below shows us Coventry play three times and two of those are against Manchester and Fife who aren’t in good form. Lets stick with their most consistent forward Chase Gresock as our tip this week.
