It's fun to look ahead and see how our postseason might look.
Last year, in the Canosa Conference, the following teams, by rank, made the playoffs:
1) MIN- 112 pts.
2) HAM- 101
3) GEO- 98
4) SPR- 98
5) SUD- 96
6) ISL- 89
And in the Corfield Conference, these were the playoff teams:
1) CAP- 110 pts.
2) WIS- 100
3) POR- 94
4) CGY- 91
5) DAY- 89
6) FOR- 89
Compared to this season's current standings:
Canosa Conference teams by rank:
1) SIB
2) HAM
3) SPR
4) REK
5) SUD
6) GEO
And in the Corfield Conference:
1) FOR
2) DAY
3) GIL
4) CGY
5) CAP
6) SEA
*Barring an improvement in the second half of the season, MIN, ISL, WIS & POR wouldn't return to the playoffs after appearing last season.
*Six teams would have missed playoffs in both seasons. (DRT, NIA, PAR, VIC, LAS & HIL...)
*Of the four teams that received first-round byes (last year and this year's projected), only one, the Hamilton Tigers would've have earned one in each season.
*Teams have roughly 13 games left until the 2029 CCHL Trade Deadline goes into effect, which allows plenty of time for general managers to address issues their teams have or sell-off spare parts that may be heading to unrestricted free agency after the season ends. There's always a few blockbuster type deals where some teams surprise us.
*Currently, there are several teams on the outside of the playoffs but within five points of capturing a post-season berth.
Who will the sellers be? Who will the buyers be?
Who will fall out of a playoff berth and who might climb into one?
Time will tell...
