Western Central This was probably the toughest division to rank, a lot of good management groups in this division but only a select few are going to be able to make it. 1. Colorado Eagles - This team is way too skilled to not be considered the clear cut #1 seed in this division. I do not see many if at all any weak links on this team. This team has a lot of depth and clearly had plenty of cap space to spend on a top Dman in bidding in ryan and a top goalie in vasi to run the majority of their games. 2. Manitoba Moose - This is going to be a fun team to watch. These guys had very minimal assets to work with and ended up making the team look pretty solid. I like their pickups in bidding with mawson, robo, neffy and hogan. I can’t see this team ending the season any lower than the 3 seed. 3. Springfield Thunderbirds - I kind of questioned putting these guys at the two spot but I wasn't exactly thrilled with how their bidding went. Luckily these guys had some good returning contracts and a very solid management group with experience. Again, I can’t see this team ending any lower than the 3 seed. 4. Rockford Icehogs - I really thought these guys would have a much better bidding than they did but still it wasn't bad. I liked the pickup getting stroobie on a pretty solid contract. I do not like their FWD group to be honest but I think their d core will be pretty solid. 5. Iowa Wild - I really like their management group , not so much the majority of their roster. They have one or maybe two decent lines if they split up cartzy and vaniskk like they should. Honestly time will tell but i think they could even finish 6-7th seed. 6. Milwaukee Admirals - Another good management group but I just do not see much talent on their roster outside of a few players. They are going to need dunnsi and raple to play at their peak level if this team wants to succeed. 7. Tucson Roadrunners - I really enjoy a lot of their players on the roster as a person but like I do not see these guys doing much damage with how stacked this division is. I do like their pickup in getting yesse and mutiid is finally back on a half decent contract. Hopefully they prove me wrong cause I'm rooting for them to do well. 8. Texas Stars - Here comes the butthurt comments. I can see them already. I'm sorry, Lether but like what were you thinking of when you bid on this team. All 750k fwds and 2 very expensive goalies that from what I hear are unavailable to play Monday games. I do like a few of their dmen but how are they planning to put the puck in the net?? Post your complaints down below cause I know you didn't want to read this. Hopefully you all enjoy, don't get too butthurt or excited about where I ranked you. It's just a guess at the end of the day. -Unbiased Media
