Pretty good looking list to me.
I see Cole hanging them up, and the Webb to JGR comment makes sense, they would probably offer the most coin, and the 450 is decent. I could also see Honda saying, “we won’t pay you as much but you will love it here”.
$ wins.

I don't see webb to jgr. Why would they replace weston for webb? I don't see them running 3 450s either.

Keeping Peick and getting rid of Bogle.

I believe the 450 ride was dependent on how he did on the 250. He didn't do that great to be honest. That said they're moving him up to the 450 for outdoors so I guess if he puts in good results he'll stay on it for 2019. At this point who knows.

I think you are close....
I think ..
Benny will stay at RM KTM.
Monster Yamaha will grab Dean Wilson
RB KTM push Webb to the top spot.
HRC will have Martin on a Geico 450 under their tent
Craig will remain on 250s with Geico
That will leave Seely, Grant, Malcolm, Weimer to find something with one of those teams for little to no money...

I agree with you on some things. Bloss might stay with RMATV and Wilson might end up at Yamaha.
I highly doubt HRC will drop Seely.
I don't see Webb beeing a good fit in RB KTM.
Craig will probably end up back in 250s. I hope I'm wrong though

Monster Kawi - Tomac, Savatgy
HRC - K-Rex, Seely, Craig or JMart on 450 outdoors
Yamaha - Barcia, Webb - I think the Webb sweepstakes have cooled off a lot
JGR Suzuki - Peick, Hill, Bogle - I think JGR gives Bogle another shot on a performance incentive deal.
Red Bull KTM - Marvin, Bloss
RS Husky - Anderson, Zacho, Dean but Deano is on a performance deal much like Bogle
RMATVMC KTM - Baggett, Nicoletti
Geico - One of Jmart or Craig ride a 450 outdoors
MCR - Brayton, Friese
Malcolm ends up on some form of Suzuki deal with hopefully a stable title sponsor, possibly with Jake Weimer. Remember Suzuki was trying to have more bikes on the track this year, but they put the effort behind Hanny who definitely did not Nut-Up.

You think that HEP Suzuki team steps up with other riders? Could be a good place to land if you don't have a factory bike...

If Kawi signs Savatgy they could be in for some frustrating days between him and Tomac. If there is any rider who has weirder off days than Tomac it'd be Savatgy in my opinion. But they will also probably have some of the best results at most races.
