Pro Forwards - 9/10 - Only reason not 10/10 is Dats & Zett are ageing and you have two other weak spots otherwise you are obviously stacked up front.
Pro Defence - 7/10 - You have Subban and then it drops off from there, I like Martinez, with increased ice time he should improve. Others are serviceable but not guys I would want to depend on going forward.
Pro Goalie - 8/10 - Rask obviously top 3 goalie in the league, Rinne would worry me quite a bit, but Lehner could take over from Anderson in Ottawa at some point this season so you have insurance.
Farm Forwards - 5/10 - You have a very high bust potential farm, a lot of the guys have really high potential but imo likely only 2-3 will make it. I rather have a farm of lower potential but higher probability of success guys.
Farm Defence - 8/10 - Not a lot of guys but love what you have, as you know I have been and am still interested in any of your defence farm players.
Farm Goalie - 5/10 - Don't see any as future starters, maybe a couple back-ups out of the group.

Overall - 7/10 - You're forwards and Rask will easily get you into the playoffs, question is will you have the depth to make a run for the championship?

Thanks very much for your feedback on my team Steve, helped a lot. As for your squad:

Pro Forwards = 9. One of the strongest groups of 12 in the GMHL, through and through. Excellent stud pairings in Getz & Perry as well as a top 2 line from Edmonton, which will only get better as the team develops. The only thing barring me from giving a perfect score was the injury factor: Spezza, Dets, Zets could make or break this team but the other forwards are all above average so levels things off nicely for you. A well-rounded group with all scoring categories.

Pro Defense = 8. Another strong group with lots of support in all scoring categories. Subban is a stud and Green should continue to have some value whether it's with WSH or DET (as rumored), Gudas is a multi cat stud and I don't think we've seen him top out just yet (REALLY like Gudas, hint hint). Martinez will be excellent and gets better every year. Schultz had a good year and hopefully turns into what was expected of him.

Pro Goalies = 9. Great group and insurance with Lehner. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with Rynnas over time. I watched him regularly on the Marlies and following him overseas where he had an amazing year. I set my alarm here in Oz to pick him up when our free agency opened but you were obviously quicker to the trigger.

Farm Forwards = 7. Good group of high end talent with depth and promise for all scoring categories. Some guys that are projected to be complete studs but may be too early to tell at this point.

Farm Defense = 8. Excellent group with lots of upside and further development will make this a high potential pool of prospects.

Farm Goalies = 7. Some hopefuls and some with a good supporting cast role.

Overall = 9. After looking at all rosters at this point in the offseason, this team is one of the three that I would pick to win it this year. You've made some important upgrades this offseason and they might just be the key pieces needed. If Edmonton starts turning the corner this season, I can see it. Unless of course, some 8th place squeeker comes along and blows it for you in the first round

Pro F - Unreal group. Great group of forwards with lots of depth. 9.5/10
Pro D - Good D grouping with peripheral stats. 8/10
Pro G - Rask is easily top 3 G and Rinne could be a top 5 if he can stay healthy this season. 8/10
Farm F - You've got some good prospects down there that could turn into valuable fantasy assets. 7.5/10
Farm D - Only have 3 guys, but they are quality guys. 7/10
Farm G - Some good talent down there, will be interesting to see if they get a shot in the show 7.5/10
