2021 going to be crazy. I think the teams that will do the best with all the change are the ones with the best leadership. A new sim, re creates galore and of course the potential for a large draft class will favor the leadership of the teams who historically do well. Teams that have a history of performing well, who do their homework as far as drafting and strategies that utilize their players the best according to their strengths. Teams like the Yellowknife Wraiths, the Orange County Otters and the Colorado Yetis are all teams that seem well run and generally are contenders. I can't speak for their respective locker rooms, but I imagine they are solid locker rooms as is the Wraiths. When your players are on board with and willing to make changes to help the team, good things will come out of it. So, new year, new sim, I think the better franchises will rise to the top and create and early blue print for what works in new sim and the other teams will attempt to copy it with hopes for success. I think the new sim will have the biggest effect on team performance, player performance will remain largely the same. Teams will have a harder time testing strats and will have to rely on a different sort of testing and more in theory this should work so lets give it a try. In the end, the good teams with quality leadership will rise to the top and remind everyone why they are the best franchises.
