Just a FYI, APR has made some serious upgrades this season so dont count them out from being a good mid pack team that can compete with the top tier.
Thanks for sharing your dream with us this morning….a few nobodies and aa players…lmao

Top teams should only be replacing 1-2 kids and do their hardest to keep the core together.
BC seems like a new team
YSE 4-5 new kids
WW as poster said top kids left
KJF new team again
Not sure on PP maybe 2 kids which seem a bit more normal.
OMG 4-5 kids.
Poor coaching communication and judgement.
It's not always up to coaching communication and judgment. Some kids get seduced by false promises, or think playing third line in the GTHL is better than first line ETA.
BC sounds like lots of turnover but a big influx of talent
YSE with one big loss and the rest are replaceable pieces in terms of talent but who knows about fit
WW seems unclear - feels like a team that could have injected some top end talent and kept the rest intact to really make a jump
KJG is going to plummet, that whole team abandonded ship
PP looks like a good bet to challenge BC
OMG will probably be good enough to beat the bottom and not good enough to beat the top
Tiers:
First tier: BC, YSE, PP
Second tier: WW, OMG, QRD
Third tier: MW, KJG
Fourth tier: NCP, APR, CT, COW
RIP: RH
Is NCP really taking that big of a dive? Maybe bring them up to third tier
If they really lost RC as rumored, I don't know how they score any goals. They scored 82 regular season goals last year and he had points on 45 of them.

Agree KJG might very well drop to fourth tier.
It’s true that RC is a great player, but one player doesn’t make a full team. You forget that hockey is a team sport and support roles count. NCP played 3 exhibition games during tryouts and scored 14 goals in two wins and a loss. I would say for a new team they are doing fine.

I could absolutely be proved wrong. However, when a team averages 2.3 goals per game, has a -35 goal differential, loses their clear leading scorer, and doesn't sound like they've signed any of the consequential ETA scorers, I think it's reasonable to predict concerns about their team.

What’s really concerning is how invested you are in this team and their shortfalls if you are not a member of the team. Time to put down the stats sheets, put down the phone or laptop, and get outside to enjoy this beautiful Friday weather. All this speculation can wait until the fall.

Agree with comment above. Heard NCP won 5-2 over Waxers in an exhibition tryout game. Probably reasonable to move NCP up.
Also going to go out on a limb here and say switch MM with COW. I think you will be surprised
What’s the surprise with Cow? You added some CT, APR players and weaker goaltending LMAO
