I believe the Rage will still be at the top for a few reasons. The first is they have a tremendous leadership group and with the addition of Shiny as a coach, they seem set up for a long time. The Rage have a history of convincing good, talented free agents to take their talents to the Big Apple as seen recently with stud forward Ola Wagstrom. It is hard to say which free agents will be available then, so the Rage have some contingencies in place with some solid pieces to build around as they look to re-tool soon. Jed Mosley and Matt Sandeen both look like they have good long futures a head of them, while Cal Redacted has been lights out this season during his call up games for the Rage which bode well for the future. Finally, the Rage play in a fairly mediocre division which is always a nice thing to have as they can bad the win column.
