If the SHL needed to set up a playoff bubble (like the NHL did in Edmonton/Toronto or the NBA in Orlando), which city would be the best candidate to host as the hub city? What would the players do during their time in a playoff bubble? (For graphic option, make an advertisement [like a pamphlet/brochure] in support of a specific city as the hub city and highlighting the reasons why.)

The arenas in Buffalo and Hamilton want to make sure they're pulling out all the stops on the big stage. Help the concessions department of one of these two teams develop a new product, with marketing specifically pertaining to this finals series, to be sold at the arena during the finals. Describe the product and the marketing in 150 words or create a promotional poster showing the product, its name, the price, etc.

a. Both of these teams have an impressive set of skaters - without factoring in any coaching or tactical strategies, which team do you think has the better roster of skaters on paper?
Both teams have an impressive roster on paper. If I have to talk about skaters, I think Hamilton is a bit better. They have four skaters over 2000 TPE which is pretty insane. Then they have 4 more players over 1500 TPE. And six more over 1000 TPE. So in total, they have 14 players who can play a big role in SHL.
Now let's take a at Buffalo. They have "just" 3 skaters over 2000 TPE. 5 players are in 1500-2000 TPE range but 6 players are in 1000-1499 TPE range. So also Buffalo has 14 skaters over 1000 TPE but I still think that Hamilton is better. That's why they won Challenge Cup.
