I haven't followed the WHL as closely this year, but seems to me it could be a pretty even field this year.
Also, I'd like to add how nice it is to have the tournament in Brandon. It means the smaller-market teams in the CHL have a legitimate shot of hosting the tourney, and places like Brandon, Lethbridge, Red Deer, Kamloops etc. shouldn't be left out of the loop when it comes to hosting big events (although I see next year's event will be in Mississauga.. weak).
