I’ll pretend to not know anything about Warhammer, but offseason feels a little like said game of figurine plotting, templating, and fantasy warfare.
On the surface, Dallas looks upgraded. The Stars have added the equivalent of orcs (insert Nill’s forward depth signing here), dreadnoughts (Hanzal), sorcerers (Radulov), and soothsayers (Bishop). But will it be enough against the Central? The power in the central has waned somewhat over the years, but it houses the West’s most powerful clan (Nashville), the fallers should not be underestimated, and the risers could be more dangerous than ever.
Every season the Blackhawks are expected to fall, wither, and decay, as if they’re some sort of puck anachronism, and every year they compete, challenge, and threaten.
