Much like you said that bold assumptions do not come true from preseason sims I have to agree that it almost always ends up being the case and any assumptions I am going to make here are not going to be fully based on preseason. Los Angeles for example had almost no strats in for preseason and thus did got awful losing almost every game and just flat out playing terribly. If making guesses based off of that data and stats it would appear LA would be well on their way to last place and throwing out our first round pick while playing absolutely terribly. While LA has by no means played amazing so far to start the season we are still sitting comfortably fighting for top 5 in the conference right now and with a couple wins could jump into the top 3 pretty easily. I think basing stats off of preseason when most teams don't take it very seriously and put actual lines and strats in is pretty inaccurate and its unfortunate for anyone getting their hopes up based on performances during it.

So I dont pay attention to the preseason, so this is pretty hard to make any conclusions. So I'm just going to look at the Baltimore Platoon preseason results for the first time and make random ass conclusions based on that. So here we go:

Prediction 1: Baltimore will have a record over .500

In the preseason, Baltimore finished with a 4-2-1 record. While Im not sure that solid of a record will stick up, I do believe that this is a signal to the rest of the league that Baltimore is out of the basement, and will be at least winning the same amount of games they lose.

Prediction 2: Baltimore will play only OT games

Not really, but like wtf, 3 OT games in 7 samples? Something tells me tight matchups that go more than 60 mins will be very common for us this season

Prediction 3: LPLL is now a sniper

Tied for 3rd on the team with 2 goals, and on 16 shots, no doubt the enforcer is basically like Ovechkin now

I am hoping me and the scarecrows can have a great season but it really isn't looking that way, Lebron Brady came out the gates as if he was playing at a lower overall than other players as if he got a late kick start and the scarecrows offense and defense is horrible. Poor Iorek Brynison who has had such a great season and the rest of the team isn't doing much for them. Yes we are young and the future is bright but you never like to see such a bad season. I do think we might be able to put together a run in the playoffs however because the young guys will get to settle in more and pick up more from the coaches and older players. I must say, however, Iorek Brynison, Greg Davies, and Dane Von Gucci are all really popping of this season, so is Ethan Brouchard with an amazing 7 assists. Go Scarecrows!

I have not looked at preseason results until now and the thing that jumped out to me was the fact that Edmonton and Atlanta had a perfect record in preseason. These are two teams that made big offseason additions, in Dick Clapper for Atlanta and Scoochie Stratton for Edmonton. Edmonton has always had a good roster but goaltending was a weakness for them last season after the retirement of Emiko Spector, Stratton is one of the most talented young goalies in the league and turns goaltending from a weakness to a strength for them. Based on the preseason, I predict that Edmonton will be one of the true contenders from the west and will make the challenge cup final. For Atlanta, signing Dick Clapper gives them a lethal top line in Clapper - van Otter - Zheng. They showed instant chemistry in preseason and while their roster may be lacking depth, I predict that they will win their division and give the GL teams a run for their money.

One thing is abundantly clear after preseason play - the Rookie of the Year will come from the Maine Timber. We absolutely killed the draft this season and it's already paying dividends. Between Duncan the Walrus and J.J.J.J Angler, the trophy is coming to Maine. Not only are these two players incredible on the ice, but they're even more impressive in the locker room. With Duncan's elite two-way defending and Angler's timely scoring, they will both shoot up the Rookie of the Year charts as the season rolls along. And they aren't just impressive based on their own individual stats, but for what they mean to the team as a whole. Maine has a strong core of older, capped players, but lacks some depth down the line. Having two rookies come in from day one and fill a massive hole, continue to earn at a high clip, and make a difference on the ice is invaluable. Whether you're looking at activity, on-ice performance, or overall value to a team, it's clear that one of those two will be named the league's best rookie. Will it result in a Cup title? Perhaps. But one thing's for sure - Maine's future is as bright as can be with these young stars. We have instant stars on both sides of the ice and have two legitimate MVP candidates for the near future. Our trophy case will soon be expanding!
