GDHL: GM Power Rankings (November)

Calgary (AP) November was an interesting month to say the least. A lot of roster changes that saw the best player in the league (Crosby) and some star defencemen move. This month's ranking will be tough... but here it goes:

1. Mike (+3): As I told the commish himself, November saw the biggest smackdown in the history of the league with a spread of 70+PPTs between the Bruins and the next best point total for November. Fluke? I don't think so. The Bruins were reportedly outraged at both sets of Power Rankings in October for many exclusions to the list. Well that must have been some pep talk Mike gave his troops because they got even where it counted. The addition of Chara and Henrik "I wish I was as good as Daniel" Sedin might have gone under the radar to some... but these two has addressed the injury to Bergeron and have given the Bruins a big name on D that was sorely missing.

2. Adam (N/C): Even though Adam has taken a harsh hit in the standings as his players are now back to normal, Adam keeps this ranking solely based on his scooping of Crosby from the likes of both the Sather's Eyes and One Eyebrow. Both competing GMs called GDHL head office to see if the dealings were legit and have contacted their lawyers that may call out the Whalers and Airborne for compensatory damages for mental anguish. Good job Adam on landing the best player in the league!

3. Kevin (-1): An uneventful November for Kevin after the acquisition of Ovechkin saw the Bruins surge past the Anti-Leafs. Even though he has fallen into second place, knowing his M.O. he has one or two deals in the works that should make up for the gap quickly.

4. Ken (-1): Ken has taken the title of most active GM from Ihor by making several trades to try and stay competitive. This definitely has kept the league interesting and earns him a spot on this list simply because of the lack of activity from other teams. Whether the trades he has made so far are good ones will play themselves out over the course of the next 3 years but for now they have kept him not too far behind the top 3 teams and is closing in on the Whalers. Anyone want to take a guess on how many official deals the Shamrocks and Attitude will complete by years end? I'll place my bets in the 15 - 16 range ;)
