0:00.0	All right, welcome on to the second annual edition of Hollinger and Duncan.
0:04.5	We're going to talk about which teams have the brightest futures.
0:09.1	I will admit that I kind of rip this off of ESPN's future power rankings, but their format is...
0:14.8	But that's okay, because I did the first version of it.
0:18.5	I'm only ripping off myself at the end of the day.
0:23.7	Yeah, it started with me and Chad Ford doing that. Okay, okay. Yeah, and you guys, when you did it back then,
0:29.3	you did sort of like a numerical formula where, okay, 10 points for having the best market and 10 points for
0:36.2	cascades. And you also only did three years as
0:39.0	well and i always felt like that formula and which i think is still the case for esPN and again you know
0:44.2	it's just a different way to do it trying to be more objective which you know i would never do obviously

1:15.5	it around that quickly and I felt it always underrated the teams especially on a three-year
1:19.2	time horizon that were just really good right now and so I guess we'll try to give our
1:24.5	criteria which are a little bit different here so this is a a five season time horizon. So the next five, through the next five playoffs, basically, including this
1:33.1	year, what team would you most want to be a fan of for the next five years? So that's going to
1:39.8	include number one, winning at the highest levels, just overall winning games as well,
1:45.5	particularly during the regular season, entertainment value of the players on the team,
1:50.3	however you want to characterize that. And then just the organization and the coach,
