It goes by past season stats if I'm correct - its actually decently useful aside from teams like MTL who have a handful of fresh new talent (and edm, buf who have weak squads with mediocre talent) ((((prove me wrong))))
I'm hoping to see this change as the season commences. The facts are we need to improve this season coming in Tampa Bay Lightning / Syracuse Crunch .
