My hot preseason take is that the Simulation Hockey League team known as the Atlanta Inferno will go undefeated the entire season and win the challenge cup. Based off the very small sample size of seven games, the Atlanta Inferno won seven of those games and lost zero. Based off those results, it is only expected that they can carry that pace into the regular season and not lose a single game. Guy Zheng will lead the team in scoring with about 140 points, with Eko Van Otter and Simon Takshak close behind him. Samat Beibitzhanov will win every game he's in net for. On the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League side of things, the Anchorage Armada will keep up their pace, finishing top 5 within the league and expect to make yet another deep playoff run. Pablo Salvatici will overperform his preseason expectations however, as he does not plan to only score 28 points this season. It will be hard to predict how many he does score but expect a lot.
