there are several teams in the shl that have promising futures, including the texas renegades, the tampa bay barracuda, and the toronto north stars. each of these teams have deep prospect pools and a decent amount of young talent already on their SHL roster that should start to flourish in short time. however, it would be foolish to count out the teams that proven dominant over the past few seasons, such as the hamilton steelhawks and the buffalo stampede, who both boast not only strong on ice talent currently but also deep pockets of picks and prospects that they're holding onto. the stampede and steelhawks have also recently flexed their strength in the free agent market recently, with the steelhawks acquiring numerous top free agent superstars to add to their team, while the stampede added star young defenseman zlatan ibrahimovic. look for these teams to continue their winning ways into the next decade of seasons.
