The West is an absolute crapshoot. I give Gatineau an edge to finish 1st, but after that it's really anyone's guess. There seems to be a fairly general consensus with the other two divisions and then with the West it's all over the place.

I'd have the Quebec divisions a bit different but the Maritimes look spot on , maybe swap Moncton and Charlottetown.

I think it's a 3 team race in our division with CB having the edge right now.

Agreed as far as Assets go the Islanders still have some nice pieces to move to get better also.

I wonder if there will ever be a year where Gatineau isn't given the nod in pre-season Man that organization is the most overrated team in history

They have a solid team, but the last 5-6 years they haven't done much and still get pumped up each year. Groulx is a solid coach but nothing special.

I think perhaps they give lots of info to these writers and are on the good/friendly side.

I wonder if there will ever be a year where Gatineau isn't given the nod in pre-season Man that organization is the most overrated team in history I think they're the best of a bad bunch in that division. Don't see them being in the hunt to win the Q at all. I find they're always grossly overrated come playoff time. Everyone starts going on about how it's going to be real tough going into the Bob and it rarely is these days. It's particularly funny when they come up against a strong team and people STILL say that. Halifax and Saint John went a combined 9-1 at the Guertin in two playoff series each against them the last five years. What a scary place!!

They don't have a very good looking club on paper to me..... defense looks solid but otherwise it's a pretty sketchy looking lot.... i'd be surprised if somebody else from the West isn't at the top ... last year everyone said the same thing pre-season about Gatineau..... and they look far worse this year

Who do you see as finishing 1st?

Who do you see as finishing 1st? i don't know yet as i havent seen any of them play or what their final rosters are going to look like may very well be Gatineau.... i just hate the respect they get every year despite not being that great for some time now... the past is the past..... they don't have the stranglehold on Ontario castoffs anymore.... and the rink and the coach are not the advantages everyone seems to think they are
