Franchise Hockey Manager 3, the upcoming hockey strategy game from Out of the Park Developments and, for the first time, licensed by the NHL, has released its annual simulation of the 2016-17 NHL season.

The big news is that, for the first time ever, the Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup! In the FHM 3 simulation, Washington defeated Chicago, 4-0. The series was actually a complete blowout for the Capitals, who outscored the Hawks 21-4 in the series: 2-0 in Game 1, 6-2 in Game 2, 7-1 in Game 3, and 6-1 to lift Lord Stanley’s Cup above their heads.

Did I miss James Neal getting traded back to the Pens ? BTW Caps can't beat them, Penguins are in their heads after last year.

James Neal does not play for Pittsburgh. I assume it was simple typo? Or is he really on Pitt in the game? Because the latter is a real problem.

James Neal is on the Nashville roster, I guess it was a typo.
