I think anchorage will make the cup finals purely based on the fact that I like them and think they are cool. They therefore must be a good team and will win

For: Anchorage makes it to the Four Star Cup finals
They didn’t really well last season and seem to keep getting better, despite the quick turn around in the juniors. Plus it’s the team I GMed (terribly). Good Boats
Sigs by Me, Merica, High Stick King, Rum_Ham, Jess, vulfzilla, enigmatic, and Carpy
As an alumni ilof the Anchorage Armada, I think they have one of the best teams I've seen in a long time. The GMs have done a phenomenal job of drafting well and hitting those margins. Go boats!
Against: Philadelphia finishes 3rd or worse in the division
There just ain't no way. We've been powerhouses for forever and that isn't gonna change now after a fluke first round playoff exit. We'll be comfortably 2nd and fighting for first.

Los Angeles and San Francisco will meet in first round of playoffs, after finishing regular season as 1st and 4th or 2nd and 3rd in their division.
I'll very cautiously say Against, while Calgary has been right up there with both California teams in the first week of the season I can't see us beating out both of them, and neither of them will fall below Edmonton/Seattle to finish as a wildcard team.

For- it is tradition for Los Angeles and San Fran to meet every single season. I’d love for it to be later as we are 1 and 2. But hey, they could slip to 4th.

New Orleans makes it to the Challenge Cup finals
I mean, this is my rookie season with the Specters. What else would I think here? I plan on winning a few cups this time around in New Orleans, so why not start early? Let's go NOLA!!!
Against Anchorage makes it to the Four Star Cup finals. I have nothing against ANC, but the SMJHL has such a high level of parity, and it's really anyone's game come playoff time. With 16 teams in the J now, it's harder than ever to predict who will win the 4-Star each season.
If only just to piss off some certain detractors that think we're the biggest problem the league has ever seen when 0-50 TBB existed in the past, SEA did the same thing at the same time as us, and EDM is doing more egregious tank and window packing now.
Well, I sure damn hope we do! It's been a long time since we've seen any reasonable playoff success despite having fielded many good rosters. To this brave predictor, thank you for your faith.

Easy pick, the Calgary Dragons offense is simply the best in the league and will continue to fill the net at a truly sustainable rate. No way that it will slow down
FOR
New Orleans is a sleeper team. Sure on paper the Specters look like a mid-tier team, but a few stars (including Lodge in goal) can make all the difference.
