A huge key to the Raptor's success this season was the development of the first offensive line. After last season's departures, and shifting from one core to the next, the first line has stepped up, and become one of the top offensive lines in the entire league. The Raptors will go as far as that first line carries them..  Building the top defense line is also going to be crucial for the playoffs. The emergence of rookies Adrian O'Rugg and Erik Bergmark gives the Raptors threats on all offensive lines. O'Rugg was among the top rookies in point scoring, and Bergmark was among the top rookies in goal scoring. The addition of Draftable Free Agents on defense adds to Colorado's depth on the blue line as well. The team is not as strong as last season, but they still have the potential to make a deep run.
