Why the Eagles in 2nd on all these lists, finished 5th last year. Limped into playoffs and then lost in the 1st round.
Did they improve?
Yes slightly not sure how big a difference it will make . Top d and goalie from MR . Top goalie from VP . And I think they made a couple changes up front for the better . There are a few teams that got more aaa kids and should be slotted higher I think. We will find out come December

So AA players now. People get blinded by this all the time, and it rarely works out like they think. Do you think the worst 10 AAA players are better than a middle AA player? Almost always the answer is no in my experience. Hell the top 3-5 A players are probably better. At U15 you want players that are on an upward trajectory, building a team based on number of A's is a proven way to fail. We shall see.

Some of them will be decent . But the others are going to have a huge wake up call when they realize their aaa player isn’t lighting up aa

I would agree, but one thing the drop downs have in their favour is pace of play and hockey sense. Unless they were riding pine all the years then it wouldn’t matter.
