A lot can happen in a year, also feels weird that a year would only be s63-s64. A lot can happen in the SHL in a year, drama can happen and teams can quickly blow up. Real life can happen affecting teams. Free agent signings could happening changing the dynamic of the league. Mistakes or punishments could cripple a team. Rebuilding and turnaround is also a lot slower and painful in FHM in my opinion compared to a STHS. If I had to guess right now i'd assume Hamilton and Buffalo are still some of the top teams in a year. Toronto and Texas also have good upcoming teams that should be near the top of the league. Tampa also has a ton of young players and prospects and while I don't know how many are actually good earners I assume there's enough that they should be a good team too around that time.
