1917 NHL Season Preview
The NHL in 1917 is made up of 4 teams. Here is a quick intro to the league.
The Stanley Cup will first be presented to the winner of a super series for the lack of a better term. The winner of the NHL will play the winner of the Western Canadian Hockey League for the title. These are the teams in the WCHL.
I won’t go into any depth with this league, or even cover them. This is an NHL replay, and that’s what I'm interested in following. I will give a proper Stanley Cup preview though before the big series.
Here are the rule changes shown in game. Obviously, this is the start of the league, so nothing is really changing. More just info for what to expect this upcoming season.
As the season gets underway, the game has noted that
Billy Burch,
Lorne Chabot and
Roy Worters are notable new players to the NHL. Now, there will be a entry draft every season after our inaugural year. These three youngsters are free agents. I don't know if they are eligible to sign anywhere, or be taken in next years draft. I will keep an eye out for anything that happens.
