There is little doubt in my mind that the Buffalo Stampede will be on top of the league one year from now. Their current defense is young right now, and it could be a real strength of the team in a calendar year from now. And to think of Buffalo with a scary good defense isn't something we have seen recently.
The Stampede have the best GM duo in the league. Tomen and Lee are willing to make the picks nobody else does (see Aumy Jr. in the S55 Entry Draft), and they have done a great job hitting on their picks. And they have done a great job fleecing other teams in trades, and seem to have an unlimited number of trades that give them first round picks. If they continue to have all the picks, they will likely have the best team. They also have a lot of first rounders in the next coming drafts, which should set them up to continue this success.
