A:
I am leaning towards Edmonton with this, they are a roster built for wins now and to continue down a successful path in the future. They have the makings of a dynasty with an amazing goalie, Justin Time, to build from the crease out with. A franchise forward Evan Winter, with an amazing support crew around him. And a fantastic defense core ready to compete. The roster top to bottom is dangerous for a long, long time.

B:
Taking nothing away from a veteran roster, they know how to get it done, how to prepare and how to win it all. I am going to lean towards the newbies, and calling them newbies is not exactly fair. They have paid their playoff dues and worked their way up for a few seasons now getting deeper and deeper runs. This team knows how to win and Edmonton’s “newbies” are the team that will win the cup.
1TPE
C:
I am going to say the Forge had the more impressive win, and this is nothing against Winnipeg, New England, or Edmonton. The Forge, a great team, doesn’t have the same talent as the others listed above. It took some amazing coaching, and players playing just slightly above their average levels to win a hard fought battle against New England. Edmonton and Winnipeg are close to par in talent, so give credit where credit is due with a big win for the Forge.
1 TPE
D:
Edmonton wins it all. They have in my opinion the best roster in the SHL right now. They have the best goalie in the SHL right now. They have paid their “playoff dues” and lost against some of the best teams learned from their mistakes, and this core has done everything to get to the very top and win it all.

My clear choice is Edmonton. This is a team built to be a modern SHL dynasty and this is the year that starts it all off. They have a relatively young core with years left of top level performance and a young support crew that is just starting to reach their prime. This team’s excellence and strategy to win will be to lean on the stars of the team. They will be led by none other than Evan Winters, as an opponent you can game plan on how to stop Winters all you want, but it will be for naught as you can not contain a player like that. He has all world talent surrounding him making that job of holding Winters down even more difficult whether it is Luke Laraque, or Benjamin Surki. If you do manage to slow down Winters even a bit, then the second line attacks with the talented Jack St.Clair and his linemates. Their defense is second to none with the amazing Lousie St.Martin leading the pack but not to be outdone by Emil Egli. Finally, they have the best goalie in the league stopping the puck making scoring goals a true premium for the Forge. This is a roster that is too strong and too well built to lose in a 7 game series. Will they lose one or two games, probably, but they will not lose 4, congrats to Edmonton our new Champions.
