After experiencing the new format last year in the Js, I look forward to the reactions we'll get if the 1st and 2nd seed end up playing each other in the semi finals again. With Chicago locking down the 5th seed, it looks like our road will be: 12th seed (Winnipeg) round 1, 4th seed aka lowest divisional winner in round 2 with the locked bracket which will be Texas or NOLA, 3rd round is likely the 3rd seed which would be Manhattan, or maybe Buffalo/Edmonton. In the finals we would probably see an exciting Chicago vs Hamilton matchup.
