Which teams kids will improve?

NT will keep getting better. They are the best coached team in the East. As for the others, they will probably pick up some kids to make them better, but coaching needs to improve to compete.

This is all speculative but:
SIR and Aeros will be even worse having lost their top players. It's really a shame
Expect Leaside and Markham to make slight improvements
These two are going in different directions.
TRT losing top two player and will slide from the top to the middle. They were trending that way..
EE lost their best player but added other and should still be at the top. More of a recruiting than developing team.
NT are adding a couple of high-end players-- easily the favourites to repeat next year.
Should be the favourites.
Bruins losing their best players so will slide back substantially unless kids make major improvements.
Knights replaced their worst few players with better skaters so they should be better than they were this year.
Need to play with more cohesion and skill.
WH Staying put for now and should be in the middle again. Weak up front.

I will not expect Leaside to improve. Cant make me.

Good for the loop that players are moving up.

Good for the loop that players are moving up.

To be clear, it's a good sign that players from loop were valued at AAA, but it's not 'Good for the Loop' to lose high quality players. We were short enough quality players already. Hopefully the quality of play and players isn't noticeably worse next year.
