jay pandalfo's DU. is at 56.. he did have an injury this year but still played 54 games but in the three previous season played 82 games for three straight years. im guessing his 56 DU is a typo.. Jay Pandalfo- EX-LD are currently 53-57... last year they were 76-82... im guessing after another nhl season they will be slightly higher than last years and the 53-57 were typo's
heck souray is 64 DU and he misses chunks of every year..
Ladislav Smid SP-SK-- currently 69-70 i think these are very low. smid has very good skating ability the thing holding him back is his decision making, which is showed in his 60pc and 57pa.. i see him as a very similar skater to christian backman 76sp-76sk.
Denis Grebeshkov 70sp-70sk- i think these are gross under rates on the skating ability of denis grebeshkov. to have him the same skater pretty much as shane knidy 69-69 is beyond crazy in my eyes. to me he is the same as a fleet footed d-man like mark striet 77sp-77sk..
ps rob blake speed skating need fixed they are at 60-59 he should at least be on par with hatcher derian hatcher 66 SP 65 SK .. as a upcoming UFA not sure if his rates were noticed being flawed..
noticed Kris Russel on minnesota's speed and skating are bad they are at 65-65 hatcher is 66-65 i think russell might be error..
also another guy in the Jason Jaffray/KyleQuincey (need adjusted because of limited GP) -- peter harrold has similar rates in Chi.. with his 79 sp-78 sk he is a better skating d-man than tom poti which is way out to lunch,, i assume his 93 IT is the same kinda error..
and one ?? i have is with guys like striet 77sp- 77sk, poti 77sp-76sk how did volchenkov (a rugged stay at home guy) get 75-75 sp-sk i think this could also be a typo, i hae him similar to a player like keith ballard 70sk-69sp.. volch is more a shot blocker than swift skater IMO...
Shane Doan- EX-LD last year were 82-91,, this year they are 82-90.. i dont understand how he wouldnt gain experience after another nhl season.. and also leadership should continue to go up he is captain of his nhl team and also team canada for many years now..
Ratings: Stoll's ST: he is nowhere near as big a puss as ray whitney (65) and even less ST than plekanec (69) is a joke... should definitely be in the mid to high 70's to match his IT...
Ray Whitney SP, SK: This is definitely a huge error... one of best skaters in league (he needs to be at 150lbs, lol)
Tom Gilbert SP, SK: Also an error. His speed and skating is what makes him such an effective dman... much more in line with what streit, pothier are (77,77) than ian white (71,71)
Regehr DI: This may be nitpicking a little as I know this rate is based on a formula... but how does a guy with only 32 minor penalties in a full 82 game season get a 70 DI?? my complaint isnt that its out of whack, as roszival and burns had almost identical ratings (70), GP, and minor and major penalties... BUT for a guy who plays like regehr (nastiest cheapest guy up there with pronger) to only get that few PIM shows a HUGE amount of discipline... he should be bumped accordingly..
thanks, rex

Get ahold of me soon, or my players will already be dealt!
stempniak 71 SP/ 70 SK...went down from last year for no reason, sites like sportsnet claim him to be excellent skater
Backstrom 54 DU? he barely missed any time.. Stuart 67 DF? seems low, I might be biased though...but considering he's a defensive guy, not even good enough for BRHL2...when he was obviously good enough for the NHL.
Not that he's mine but I sure hope in the near future he is :)
I tracked down Milan Lucic (Nash) and his DI is 65
I know he didn't play big minutes but he had 13 fighting majors and that would account for 65 of his 89 PIM. It just stuck out to me as a Bruins fan since I couldn't believe how disiplined Lucic was for the style he plays.
1. Visnovsky is already being reviewed....... 2. Vermette and Blake both need to go up in SP/SK (Type in Vermette speed and Blake speed in Google and all it talks about is how fast they both are.)
Eric Christensen 60-60 EX-LD with a guy like stempniak 70-70 i think christensen should be close to him..
johan franzen ex-ld at 63-66... and having posted 28 points in 40 nhl postseason game i think his ex-ld should be similar to a david legwand 73-73.. legwand has 19 postseason games and 6 points..
paul martin 55ex-ld... with 305 nhl games and 30 postseason games where he has 12 points as a d-man i think martin should be around same ex-ld as a nick shultz like d-men 70-70...
one speed skating error i noticed was devin setoguchi a great skater is only 70 sp- 68 sk.. lehtinen on same team is 72-72.. setoguchi is a far better skater at this point in each's career's
it hurts posting pumping up lukes guys lol lol but its one a i saw and thought was pretty obvious...
