Leaderboard

We've progressed a few more games and got the North American leagues up and running.  Nobody has cracked the top ten from those two leagues since the majority of the teams have played less than five games.  Give it a little time.  It won't take long.  Oddly enough, nobody from the lockout playing overseas has made the list yet either. Unless the lockout ends we should start seeing some names climb the point charts.

Here we go:

Guess the biggest difference since the last time we checked is the addition of the other leagues.  Every league is represented now including a good run from the Swiss league.

The leader in points and penalties stays the same though Ryan is tied.  As much as I might not like the guy, Alexander Radulov is tied for the most points and four penalty minutes away from taking that spot too.  Not something you see very often if ever. 

Other noteworthy moves - Brunner, Metropolit and Omark came on strong for the Swiss league.  Brunner is a career European but Metropolit has been just about everywhere in North America including a stint with the Flyers and has always done well in Europe.  Omark spent the last two seasons with Edmonton.  Not sure if he will ever return.  And I have to point out Holloway planting himself nicely into the top ten.  The Swedish league is notorious for not having many North American players but Holloway is showing he belongs in his second season after three seasons in the AHL.

In the penalty area we have a few movers.  Artyukhin can't extend his lead much mainly because he was suspended for the majority of the time since I last updated the list.  Who do we have sitting in third now?  It's that dang pesky Olivier Labelle.  Labelle spent the last three seasons playing for the Royals usually near the top in both points and penalties.  Not going to stop now that he is in Europe.
