I've got no idea. But it's always fun to see a persons opinion to get the conversation going =)

Rapids, Duluth East, Elk River, Andover, and Duluth Marshall are going to make things very difficult in 7AA this year for my Cloquet/E/C Lumberjacks. I look forward to the challenge!!!!!

If Edquist leaves but not Johnson, LVN moves down to middle of top 10, if both leave they move down to bottom of top 10.

If Zim leaves, Wayz moves out of top 10, and probably out of top 15. I may have overrated them to begin with

If Tufte leaves, Blaine stays in top 15, with veterans Bautch, Penn, Noterman, Kallestand in goal.

My next 5 in alpha order are Bemij, Cent, Dul East, HF, Mtka.

ImALoser: we are quite a ways apart on St Thomas. They got pretty good returning talent: Jerry, Hurley, McDonald, Reim, Stallidge, STucker , among others. Not sure who their starting goalie will be

Probably put STA too low - looking at only 5 seniors and they do not have a goalie with any varsity experience is the reason for the thought of putting them out of the top 10.

Your next 5 included "HF" - is that Holy Family? What are your thoughts with that? - no goalie and lost a lot of top end players from last years team.

HF has a decent returning core of highly rated Matt Anderson, along with Reddan, Rock, Marooney among others. Will Garin is expected to depart. Two good goalies Stauber and Boe although little varsity experience.
