Clearly we will see the New England Wolfpack at the top a year from now. Our retooling will have completed fully and our now young and growing prospects will have blossomed into Hall of Fame candidates.

Around S63 all our current prospects Will be at or near the peak of their career, TPE wise. The team will contain three equal forward lines and three equal defensive pairings. No more of this 1st line weighted minutes. And don't get me started on Eller who will probably have at least three awards by then for best goalie.

Looking outside of New England, I can see Tampa competing hard as well as long as their rebuild keeps going in the right direction. Toronto has already hit their stride, but I think they will be able to keep competing at the highest level for quite a while. They will finally be able to reach the playoffs after the Great Lakes division slowly deflates.
