....THE WHL...
The Chicago Blackhawks of the Western Conference have won the Stanley Cup and followers throughout the galaxy rejoice as the victory secures this team's title as a dynasty among its peer Teams. Having been victorious in three of the previous 6 campaigns, the riches of success have not come without sacrifice. Following their victory the Blackhwaks were forced to part way with a few key individuals, shipping them off to teams across the WHL universe. Out of the ashes of the 2014-2015 campaign, thirty new faces have arisen in challenging the Blackhwaks to crown themselves Champion. Of these teams, it would appear that the Anaheim Mighty Ducks would be the clear favourites on paper. Following closely would be the Los Angeles Kings, another proven super power in the Western Conference. The Calgary Flames, also of the Western Conference have the potential to surprise once again, as the team looks to prove last season was no fluke. It would certainly appear that the Western Conference carries a slight advantage when it comes to the influence of power in the galaxy. Surprisingly, the Dallas Stars were predicted to struggle, they had a strong season last year and have a very talented squad. The Carolina Hurricanes were also said to be a team to expect a high draft pick, which didn't surprise anyone.
I thought this would be cool. As there is no history, I am going to go by what the computer calculated. Moving forward, I will try to do this once a month, then everyone can keep track of how they are doing in comparison to everyone
