Western Pacific In my opinion this is probably the easiest division out of the four in terms of placing higher in the division, so it was pretty hard to rank. 1. Coachella Valley Firebirds - In my opinion the clear cut divisional winner at the end of the season. Really solid management group that picked up a few good DPs through the draft and already had some decent returning contracts. I am kind of concerned with their depth at FWD but I’m sure they will figure it out. 2. Abbotsford Canucks - This was a pretty hard choice for me cause in any other division these guys would not be at this spot. They have a few good FWDs in astro, crushin, skt and corvo. Also have a few good dmen on the back end. I'm interested to see how the goalies will be with this team and their depth. 3. Ontario Reign - I like the free contracts and some of the pickups they got in bidding. Like most teams though I question the skill they have in goaltending but time will tell. These guys would probably be one spot higher if they had one or two better pieces on their team. The reign have been doing some scouting so I have faith in them in this spot or maybe one higher. 4. San Jose Barracuda - This team seems to be built on chemistry which is really good to have. A Lot of these guys like Celltrace/Teddy/Steelers/Kingduck have played together quite a bit so that makes for an already good line. I like the two free contracts but I don’t like the majority of how their bidding went outside of that already mentioned chemistry line. I’m hoping these guys do better than I expect. 5. Henderson Silver Knights - I’m not a huge fan of their management group in terms of skill but these guys had a pretty decent bidding I have to say. I like the depth on this team at all 3 levels but I do think that this team lacks a Go-To player. I can see these guys fighting for a playoff spot the entire season or possibly locking up the last playoff spot in this division. 6. San Diego Gulls - This team is pretty interesting to say the least. A few decent pickups in bidding at FWD but the defense is pretty sus in my opinion. I don’t mind Pezdemics contract and getting fooldawg for the minimum is not bad. Other than that I really don't see much on this team that will help them to win games. Sorry Chelios but you're going to have to prove me wrong here. 7. Bakersfield Condors - Not a fan at all of this management group skill wise either.. They got a pretty good DP in Sacco and their goalies should be alright but everything else doesn’t jump out at me. Their bidding was pretty bad in my opinion. Sorry not sorry. 8. Stockton Heat - Where do I even start LOL. I like greeny as a player and as a person but wow….. His AGM is not the greatest and the bidding probably went even worse. On top of that he got the most toxic person on the market in @juulpod at a pretty hefty price may I add. I just can’t see this team doing very well. - Unbiased Media 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.
