In 5 or 6 seasons, I would expect the teams with a good chunk of S50 to S55 players having the advantage, as those are the players who will be in their primes at that time. Now of course you can never predict player movement and which teams will be able to hold onto all their players and prospects, or which players will stay active, but for the sake of this PT, we'll assume everyone stays at their current level of activity and nobody ever leaves their teams. With that in mind, TEX to me seems like a team that will be a powerhouse. They are just beginning their ascendancy to the top, and with over half their roster being S50 or younger and over 1K TPE, this bodes well for them. EDM and CGY both have a few great players but not a lot who would be peaking, so they might not be as imposing as they are now. MIN and SFP have a lot of great-looking young players and should be back in the game by this point. NOLA and SEA are lacking a lot of top-tier players in this age range so I could see them struggling at this point. LAP and WPG have a handful of solid players as well as a healthy crop of prospects who could be playing significant roles on their teams despite not quite peaking, so I would anticipate them being even more competitive than they are now.

In the East, I can see BUF and HAM maintaining a hold at the top as they both have very good players who will be at the top of their game at that point, replacing the aging out players on the top lines. However, teams like NEW, BAP, TOR, and TBB should all be seeing themselves as vastly improved compared to where they are now, while MAN, CHI, and ATL could all be struggling or finding themselves in rebuild mode.
