Atlantic Division 1. Toronto Maple Leafs Owner: @PieR Talent GM: @Bo-Dangles10 AGM: @BTL_MoTi Lines: @vRustl17l - @BTL_MoTi - @PieR Talent @Bo-Dangles10 - @ISizxr 12I @Clifton-75 - @Ethan x 97 - @DingoMan334 @JRapx28 - @Fow72 @Oh Nebulous - @o Mon0poly o - @Hynzie20 @PattyLive - @xSilkyhands97x @xXiCb4uCxX @KeEn_CJ Why Ranked #1?: PieR resumes ownership with a ridiculous amount of draft picks, where he picks up JRap and SilkyHands. The instant chemistry between JRap and Fow will be deadly on the 2nd line, where Bo and Goalscorer will have no issues holding down the defense on the first line. The offensive talent on this team is deep as well. Rust - Moti and PieR will be extremely reliable as the first line, whereas Ethan and Lucente will do great, holding down the second. The third line is most likely one of the best third lines in the league. This team is the team to beat. 2. Boston Bruins Owner: @Akonvict21 GM: @I JF5 I AGM: @Domix28- Lines: @Domix28- - @Akonvict21 - @Moongee- @Ducks_200IQ - @RSall14 @I JF5 I - @sales-_-majestes - @vShot94 @sabu22 - @x_ReAcTiiOnz_71 @TakeNotes97 - @x-Jonesy3 - @x_McDavidI97I @zappaforever - @BMauro98 @Ima5thLiner @elgringoo1992 Why Ranked #2?: Akon, Jay, Domi and the Bruins. Definitely will be a tough team to beat, as I really like all of their lines rather than just one. The first with Akon, Domi, Ducks and Sall has some solid chemistry, and it will be interesting to see how much pressure they apply for 1st in the division. I wouldn't want to play this team in the playoffs... trust me, it sucked last season. 3. Tampa Bay Lightning Owner: @LaFleuR11 GM: @ImLxziee- AGM: Unknown Lines: @GreasyLikeButter - @ImLxziee- - @Frauts @calmblueicex - @LaFleuR11 @SebQc97 - @Snoki69 - @oshlag @KyleY12 - @Lazy Pedestrian @LaFleuR_77 - @Pfarrcyde23 - @GL3NzKy- @FreeZ-o-R - @VinceT13 @Ucantcme_kamakaz @DoubleZERO33 Why Ranked #3?: Lafleur and Lazie!!! They finally get to team up in LG PSN. I know Lafleur wanted Lazie quite a bit during my time with Montreal, so it's nice to see the bromance alive and well. This team is quite deep, and has some quality D-men in it's lineup. I expect the Lightning to put up another strong season, but I don't believe they have the same caliber team that they had last season. I could see Lafleur's Lightning range anywhere from 1-4 in the division, but I'd give them pretty high odds to make the post-season. 4. Ottawa Senators Owner: @ScooTz-10 GM: @Class Act 27 AGM: @leafs1791 Lines: @Bunny_Pancakes - @BigSniper-25 - @jeff0012 @NeeZ-l- - @GreatestEver @Class Act 27 - @H2O Fluri - @ScooTz-10 @leafs1791 - @Thentrikjamz @Debrincxt-12 - @Cox2564 - @Plughunter88 @D_SPORS_5 - @DakotaPie @KingKonz- @l-x_Marner_x-l Why Ranked #4?: Ottawa will put up a decent season. Class Act and Scootz will be a difficult second line to beat, but I don't know if Tommy and Jeff will be able to carry a 1st line against a few of these other Atlantic teams. At 11.5M for Tommy, I'm pretty surprised that Scootz was able to still build a decent team depth-wise. I believe the Sens will hit one of the Wild Card spots and make the playoffs this season. 5. Detroit Redwings Owner: @SomeoneStopMePls GM: @SkillzPayBills3 AGM: @Domi_x_13 Lines: - No lines provided by owner, therefore I'll just write a quick statement about the team; Why Ranked #5?: Detroit looks interesting. They have NickyP who has always performed, yet is always ripped on every single season for his west connection. If Eastons, Nicky and Skillz all play to their best, Detroit could be a team to look out for. I feel like they have a decent balance between their forwards and defense, however I don't see them having the same fire power that the four teams above them have. 6. Montreal Canadiens Owner: @Hra-ow GM: @SkillzZy_x92x AGM: @Ryan_x_28 Lines: @xDeAdLy_xDaNgLeS - @SkillzZy_x92x - @MaGiiK_x96x @Twisty_x86x - @Ryan_x_28 @Hra-ow - @CRAZYROGO-1-7 - @Metcalf91 @Tanev4Norris - @Chews_n_Brewss @Schmxtty - @Maxx_20 - @PerfectSkillz_Qc @ItsAPurpleDragon - @II GlNGER II @Xeazyklllx @Fred-Proulx- Why Ranked #6?: Hra-ow is making his debut as an owner in the NHL. He has some solid players in this organization, but I'm worried that his entire team will blow up on him. It seems that even before the season has started, his management team has been extremely difficult for him to handle. (Recall what happened to @BROSKI_002 last season)... I'm honestly wishing Hra-ow the best, but I don't see him making the playoffs this season. 7. Florida Panthers Owner: @Agger23 GM: @DomSquad100 AGM: @Markz_51 Lines: @DomSquad100 - @hypey- - @TMills71 @zCluutchh__ - @xXAucoin1Xx @BEAST--l33l - @Krazy-try - @Iplay_for_keeps @HitByTheBest95 - @zZenkyyy- @jor2good - @zzzRy0 - @KillsAKill- @shepard-88- - @Markz_51 @Agger23 @XxKickaPooXx Why Ranked #7?: Florida will have a very difficult time in this league. They have depth and decent players on their 2nd and 3rd lines, like my man @Krazy-try... but they don't really have a great 1st line. Center in my eyes is a key position, and they have Hypey- centering the most important line... while a natural RW'er is centering the 2nd line. There is work to do, but Agger seems to always find a way to build successful teams, even after a poor bidding. 8. Buffalo Sabres Owner: @o S m i i t t y GM: @Archon Assassin AGM: Unknown Lines: @redflag33 - @Archon Assassin - @Eh CanadianHobo @Carlson74x - @xGianTx @o S m i i t t y - @xGeimer - @landerx92 @Timmycdogg - @Jpinvmt @Pearson x 70 - @Serpe x 13 - @toslick @Hot_Pocket_Handy - @Butt_Fisted @immortalbmw @Lach12 Why Ranked #8?: Reading @Dansne's article earlier convinced me to switch Buffalo from 7th to 8th. Sure, Archon and Smitty are decent players and dudes, but some of the attitudes and contracts on this team have me a bit worried for them. Almost their entire 2nd line could go from winning 3 games one week, to not showing up the next week. Their third line also needs some upgrades before it can win them any games. Butt_Fisted will have to carry that line. Goaltending will be a problem too.
