That's a win for the rest of the Eastern Conference. Replacing a top team with an expansion team should mean some easier points next year.
as the year went on i just assumed the east is just bad, and any team that is at least OK would do well in the east this year. every team was limited or in a streak of bad results with the exception of NE. i mean we can still technically surpass nashville going into last week and we were terrible for some parts of the season. They didnt separate themselves from the pack like other teams do.
in the west you still had seattle, KC, and even teams like minnesotta are solid, colorado was surprising to be that high i think.
as for easy points, the conference had cincy and that was basically the same thing.
