LA Stars: Shambles or Underdog?

[InstantRockstar 1,253]

The LA Stars have made the playoffs consistently for the last few seasons now, however have never found success beyond the early rounds. This season LA had made it clear via some deals and via re-signing their big stars that they would compete, and be all-in for a top tier performance, however it's been clear that as of late... some of their plans may have come to a complete hault. Upon speaking to their GM, some insights into this possible de-railment have been shed. 

 

"We're trying as hard as we can on the management side to get this team up in the rankings. When discussing with my colleagues, everyone and their mothers is planning to compete. The whole EU is apparently wanting to compete, as is the NA other than a few who have committed to their rebuild. It's going to be an interesting season, as everyone is full of confidence in their teams, but not everyone can be the top dog. We're going to do our best here to hold onto a playoff spot long enough to outlast the others and pick 'em apart, asset by asset." 

 

Some huge words being thrown around with some big promises to boot. The big question is, can LA actually outlast the other competitors?
