With the Seattle Metropolitans, another American team was accepted into the PCHA. Because of this, the league stepped up its efforts to poach players from the rival league National Hockey Association to meet the need for good players. Stars like Jack Walker , Frank Foyston , Cully Wilson , Eddie Carpenter and Hap Holmes could be lured into the PCHA, while the NHA recruited PCHA players Skinner Poulin , Frank Nighbor , Bert Lindsay and Walter Smaill in return . In their second season, the Portland Rosebuds won the league championship. Top scorer with 35 points was Cyclone Taylor , while Bernie Morris was the top scorer with 23 goals.
