OK, early season predictions:
Play-off teams Kings 1, Ducks 2, Wave 1, Gulls 1 and 2, Heat
Fighting for last 2 play-off spots (VERY dependable on schedule) - in no particular order - Empire, OC2, Goldrush 1 and 2, Condors, Bears, Mariners.
And Flyers if/when dropped from AA.
If schedule gets really tough for the first 6 teams - say, e.g. Heat - then there will be 3 (or more) open spots left...
