I've been to a few skates and have contacted others. These are my observations...
Panthers - believe it or not there was plenty of good talent at their skate last weekened.
Rangers - mostly select players and plenty of Goulding kids out.
Attack - coach non-responsive
Avs - was told to come to tryouts in May
Sharks - told to contact following playoffs
Eagles - told to come to tryouts but they may do a skate prior. There will be spots.
WM - no interest based on stories I've heard.
GPR ... believe they are recruiting via open borders ... but normally bottom of the standings year after year.
Willowdale ... new parent coach ... a bunch of turnover with team ... parent coach seems like a good guy and a knowledgable coach so improvements could be seen
YM ... who knows ... but they relied too heavily two seasons ago on a player that went to AA this past season and they over valued their team and crashed this year ... doesn't seem like they want to make some tough decisions on their team
Knights ... new coach ... replacing some of their weaker players ... should be better
Islanders ... dumpster fire ... new coach coming in is old Panther coach ... I'd stay away
WH ... rumour is that they are bringing in a bunch of AA players
Leaside .. haven't heard much
Ted Reeve ... only looking at AA players coming down
Aeros ... rumours of parent/dressing room issues ... read some of the posts coming out of the playoffs ... player left mid season and also during playoffs... but team always seems to do well though
Forest Hill ... rumour of top scorer coming down from AA team ...
VRE ... not sure ... but invite only to skates
NT ... not sure
SIR ... maybe one change... haven't heard of skates ... focused on finals.
SIR getting stud goal-scorer from MI
GPR - will be much of the same
WH - they picked up about 4x AA kids, but they are really A level players from LF and EE (EE kid hardly sees the ice), had a skate last week looked ok.
TRT - picked up TRT AA players, again they will be about the same
SIR - added 2 players, no skates

FH getting aa defence and top aa player.
NT and LF are basically staying static. Each only making two changes. New additions to SIR and FH will make those teams even stronger. FH in particular.

If rumours are true, FH, SIR, TRT and WH will be top 4 next year. Based on finish this year, WH will be most improved.
Enough about next year. We argue all season about who’s the best. And today we’ll get one step closer to finding out. If people here really care about the things we argue about, you’ll be packing the stands for SIR/VRE and TE/HVS.
Or y’all just homers?
