I wonder where they would have seeded Vancouver if the Fury hadn't folded? The Whitecaps weren't in the final 4 of last years tournament, and didn't win a round. It would have been reasonable to seed both Fury and Cavalry ahead of them...
Path to the final is way easier this year, likely to be exactly the same less two full rounds. Last year they beat Pacific, Forge, Whitecaps and then lost to Montreal for a finals spot. This year they skip the first round, and assuming Hamilton and Vancouver win (both likely, imo) they would then play Forge and Whitecaps on their way to the final. Skipping Pacific and Montreal is a way easier road, although neither Forge nor the Whitecaps are likely to roll over.
