Prompt 2:

The Atlanta Inferno made a number of changes to their roster heading into this brand new Simulation Hockey League season. One of their top defenders, Simon Leblanc, had announced his intent to retire at the conclusion of last season so he is no longer on the roster. Forward Bobby Sharp also left in free agency to pursue a cup elsewhere leaving two fairly big holes in the lineup. Stan Q. Next's career stagnated and led to him being released by Atlanta this offseason as well. Lucky for Atlanta, they have a reserve of elite young talent that will be coming up this season. Defenseman Angus McFife XVIII steps in for his rookie season after winning the top defenseman award last season with the Colorado Raptors, taking the spot of Leblanc and providing a fresh new face on the blueline next to the decrepit old vets in Dominic Montgomery and Eko van Otter. Jack Nishimori comes in to take over in one of the two forward spots open, and joining him is a literal towel. Towlie made the jump after only two seasons in the SMJHL and looks to prove that you don't need to spend an eternity in the juniors to make an impact in the SHL. With these major changes this season Atlanta looks to make it back to the playoffs but don't have any real expectations this season as it's one of a few building years they will need in order to compete with the top teams in the league.
