How do the teams stack up based on what we know now? My version:
1) VK
- new additions are better 1to1 then 'cuts', both Waxers kids are VERY strong).
2) Marlies.
- Stable. kept the core. getting some good additions. Should catch up in size by next playoffs. Still weaker than VK.
3) JRC
Unpredictable situation. Strange new signups. Do they have potential to be higher?. Should not go lower)
4) BIGGEST QUESTION... REPS
Can someone legitimately challenge the BIG 3? Every early season consensus prediction ends up wrong in this age group. But I will go with REPS.
I dont think they are losing anyone important and if so, they may be able to step up.
5) DMF
Size of players and many are committed to them because of location
6) REBs
They are getting good players.
7) NATs
Fairytale is over
8) Rangers
I heard many leaving? Will LH stay?
9) MM
if indeed King City core and the coach form that team they might be a formidable bottom team.
10-12)
OUT of Playoffs - SENS, Wings, Titans. Unpredictable. Anyone knows what's happenning in the basement?

DMF better have got a lot of new players. JrC, VK pile them by 6-7 goals, so did top US teams like CBJ and Caesars. Not competitive with TM. How are they going to get to 5?

How JrC isn’t #1 is insanity!! Hammered Marlies 5-0 in Final game.

JrC are Champs and until you knock off the Champ, the Champs are always on top.

Which tournament? Who did they lose to?
