As a recent expansion team from the S46 SHL expansion, the Chicago Syndicate don't really have a franchise goat. Despite having future hall of famers such as Luke Atmey having worn their colours, players like Atmey and Koenig just haven't done enough as members of the Syndicate to really be considered franchise greats. So who from the current roster could possibly go down as a franchise goat? We make the case for 3 players.

Daniel Smeb:
Drafted in Chicago's first ever entry draft, Smeb has basically been Chicago's #1C since his first game and has become the franchise centre that the Syndicate were built around. Smeb's shown himself to be among the league's elite players finishing top in scoring last season and continuing on pace to replicate that this season. If Smeb puts together a few more seasons like these past two, wins some individual trophies, and brings a Cup to Chi-town, he could have a strong case.

Corey Kennedy:
Drafted 3rd overall in the S47 draft, Kennedy was the Syndicate's first true cornerstone defenseman and after having the team's D core built around him he was named captain. He's had one truly elite season and followed it up with a few underwhelming seasons but as the team's captain, any Cup win could be heavily attributed to him, on top of that he still has plenty of time to get some more elite seasons under his belt and build his case.

Lallo Selman:
Selman wasn't drafted to Chicago but has budded into an elite forward for them since his trade. While he hasn't performed to the level of Smeb just yet, he's the most naturally talented forward on the Syndicate and he has plenty of time left to improve his performances and possibly go down as the team's all time points leader by the end of his career. Add that to his leadership role as he has an A, some possible individual honours, and a Cup, and Selman's got his own case as well.
