What happened with NYK in your prediction, I mean, you have TR 3 times (TR, TRT, TRA), which one of them is NYK :)?

Agree that it's still Spring and we are predicting the final result for next spring, however I'll counter with:

TRT
LF
NYK
DMM
ARD
NT
MI
TRTA

LFG
TA
SIR
WHGH

In the 1st Block, these top 8 that I feel will qualify for the Round Robin. I did rank them in the order that I feel they will finish, however top 4 are a bit interchangeable. Its just a guess, 10 months out. DMM new to the loop and have a lot to prove having come down from A. Dont quite think it will be enough to dominate the A loop as whatever talent they had likely fled. NYK, LF, and TRT all have solid foundation. They lost kids yes, but they did good job replacing. NYK will be strong in Goal, LF have solid defensive system, and TRT will have great offense. This will come down to whether NYK and LF can score, and whether TRT can defend.

ARD should be the best of the next 4. They can surprise and sneak into the top 4 but if they dont, they are surely a lock to finish 5th. rounding out the bottom 4 are NT, MI, and TRTA. NT and MI are what they are. They arent great but they will be there in the end. TRTA is just a guess as the Association has strong house league. This could obviously be 1 of the teams 9-12 but...

TA & SIR both lost players, and WH doesnt have as strong a program as LF or TRT. That 8th and final spot will likely be TRTA or LFG.

The select teams moving to A will all struggle.

DMM has very few kids coming from AA. Don't have them in the top 3.

NYK has lost their top kids, not as strong as last season for sure.

TRT didn't get any better.

LF only had 2 spots and they have upgraded. I would predict them to be #1 based on what I've seen at the tryouts.
It's single A and there was a tone of parity in the division last year. What was the point of skating with 4 different teams?

DM lost anyone good to other AA teams
Yes, to EE
No the strong kids from DM went to other AA teams. No one good wants to play for EE.

Kids left for EE and DD
And they picked up high scoring forwards and AA players from TR.

MI had a lot of changes, new coach who is known to be a great developer. Will be the fastest team in the loop. Question is did they improve in goal?

TA - team got worse, coach didn't get any of the players he was hoping for and all strong kids from last year went running for the hills based on crazy coach.

NYK - will be much different, top 3 goal scorers all gone

NT - stagnent, not much change.

Avs in West may not lose a game next season.

Rangers lost both goalies.

Duffield - drastically improved, and should win some games. Added strong kids from NT Select.
stagnent in the sense they won't improve, but likely won't be any worse off than they were this season.

DMM - yes, they're from AA, but I heard majority of strong players found new homes and not coming down to A. Not sure why people think they're so strong. Was at a couple of their skates and talent level was not there.

Agreed, DM were a bottom team in AA, they will not be strong in A next season

I have been to numerous skates as well, I agree on most analysis but you're wrong about TRT.
