Top 3 Forward Groups
1. TYN
2. VK
3. JRC
Still too much firepower on the red and white.
VK will have a very good top line but no rock stars after that and third line of MN, AG, LB will really struggle against top 5 teams.
JRC does not have a stud line but has solid players on all 3 lines there is not much drop off. TS leads this group.
Honourable Mention TT. With PS and JL leading the charge this team will be able to score goals and may catch some top 3 teams off guard if they aren't careful.
Trash Bin: Rebels. Not a single scoring threat on the roster.
Top 3 Defence Groups
1. TYN
2. TM
3. JRC
This one is very close. TM will claim they are tops but the depth is not there.
TYN has ZGB, LC, GP, FH are solid and RK is well above average.
TM has RF, JR....LS is not bad....and then BD, NM, SG are just roster fillers. TYN has more depth and that makes a difference in tournaments and playoff series when they get tired. TM will rely on their top 3 only.
Honourable Mention: VK. GP and CG were additions VK desperately needed and instantly become the #2 and #3 d-men on this team.
Trash Bin: DMF. This is more of a disappointment pick. ES and PL are a solid top pair, but then the talent level falls off a cliff. BC is just ok at #3 but when the bigger twin is your 4th best d-man it means trouble. CA and CG round out an unimpressive group of 6.
Top 3 Goalie Tandems
1. TM
2. TYN
3. TRW
TM on top for sure here and TYN a solid second.
Third place has a few contenders but TRW has solid goaltending that faces tons of shots but keeps them in almost every game. MF got outplayed by PM last year and CN showed in the playoffs against VK and TYN that when he faces over 15 shots he lets in 4+. MC is no longer in the convo of top tendy's after a brutal season with NYR and a horrible tourney last weekend where he allowed 5 goals on 8 shots in the semis.
Honourable Mention: REBELS and VK.
Rebels are the PM show. If they had taken EM after he left JRC they would have had a top 3 tandem.
MF will benefit from less shots playing for VK and looking to bounce back and regain some confidence.
Trash Bin: Majors. Possibly the worst Fwd, Def, and Goalie groups in the entire league. The YSE and AA kids have looked horrible in Carnevale and Paidsma is already in a power struggle with KC trying to force the coach to name PP the captain. This team could not beat the Vaughan Panthers.
Full disclosure I have a bias with this team due to personal experience.
