I wouldn't be surprised to see 7 teams against next season. Think Ottawa will fight moving to CPL as much as they can.
I read an interesting rumour that, if true, makes a lot of sense. Essentially, Ottawa needs to be forced to move by CSA/Concacaf. Reason being that they'll be on the hook to pay off USL if they move by choice, but if they are denied sanctioning, it may release them from obligations to USL.

I think 8 teams next year at most if we're lucky, and it won't be Ottawa. I suspect Ottawa gets forced to join in 2021.
