Hitmen - the team to beat

[FreddieFender]

Although I hate to admit it, I believe the Hitmen will be very tough to beat this year. The Rebels will be equal or better between the pipes, but younger overall, and less skilled with the top 4 D-men. Any thoughts?

I think both teams have taken a bit of a hit up front, at least compared to last season, and like you say are both about the same in goal. On the back end I think the Rebels have gotten slightly more 'talent' over last year, and Calgary is about the same. Given that neither team really dominated the league last season, and finished quite close in the standings, I can't imagine that will really change too much (unless Calgary actually gets a coach).
