  1. I’ve played management games with arena ticket sales and budgets etc, it seemed a bit too complicated for my taste. I like to just focus on the team building aspect of the game. Don’t get me wrong, when I first heard of it I loved the idea of it, but once put into action it got tedious.
  2. It’s because the first seed sucks
  3. Another thing I would suggest that is on the note of draft class presentation that I have been thinking of for a while is multiple rankings. In real life there are countless lists and websites that have draft rankings such as nhl central scouting, tsn, ISS hockey, and many more. I’m not saying we should have 10 different rankings, but 3-4 would be useful. This would come into play mostly for drafts such as the Hischier-Patrick draft where many rankings had each interchangeable at 1/2. It would help close decisions where the prospects are similar, if say 3/4 rankings have one player above another it would give them more stock and make your decision easier.
  4. I think he means we are given the player overall, but that’s it. If we want to know that players shooting stat, passing etc. we would have to scout them to find out. Again, this is what I got from his comment, would be cool though.
  5. No, he will play for them for this season, then be returned to you and you will have an opportunity to sign them this offseason. This is a good thing actually because then he will get ice time and develop faster. His rights are still yours.
  6. I’m not in the LIHL but I love meeting and conversing with other managers, this game has a great community. I’m Gator Raid, manager of the Unity Fire Dogs in the GHL, if you have any questions about the game or just want a second opinion on something regarding lines, tactics, trades etc. let me know! I’m learning new stuff about this game everyday, so I don’t know everything, but I’m willing to pass on what knowledge I do have. Talk to you soon
  7. 6th overall pick up for grabs, Looking for prospects 86+ovr and 18-19 years old. Must have blue/green big games trait. I’m willing to package veteran players with the pick to make the deal go through.
  8. Your players “Big Games” trait is what mainly affects winner instinct. Also goalies seems to have more of an affect than skaters.
  9. You never know what could happen, 2nd kinda sucks in my opinion...
  10. I’ve gotten many offers for players I mention on here, and people send me players I’m interested in. Same deal with Jack though, just not the right deal being sent my way yet.

    Overall Data

    I collect data of all the teams top 20 players (12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies), add them all up and compare what the league is looking like every year. This year I thought I’d share my data (players on waivers were NOT counted even if they were better than some players dressed, I DID include players on IR if they were better than a dressed player at their same position, I DID NOT include players in the minors). Legend: -number before team name is total team overall -number in parentheses to the left of the team is their ranking in terms of overall -list is in order of league position at the time when data was collected - +/- number to the right of team name is how many overall points away from the average total overall they are -number to the right in parentheses is teams average overall (8) 1845 Pittsboro +3.3 (92.25) (2) 1877 Stony Brooke +35.3 (93.85) (1) 1903 Unity +61.3 (95.15) (4) 1856 New Castle +14.3 (92.8) (7) 1848 Burnside +6.3 (92.4) (5) 1853 Forest Park +11.3 (92.65) (12) 1819 Mountain Lakes -22.7 (90.95) (3) 1862 Palm Harbour +20.3 (93.1) (6) 1851 Nottingham +9.3 (92.55) (10) 1838 Parkland -3.7 (91.9) (9) 1840 Victoria -1.7 (92) (7) 1848 Goderich +6.3 (92.4) (14) 1799 Wyoming -42.7 (89.95) (14) 1799 Tahsis -42.7 (89.95) (11) 1820 North Atlanta -21.7 (91) (13) 1809 Northdale -32.7 (90.45) Total overalls: 29,467 Average: 1841.6875 320 players Average overall: 92.0
  12. Could you maybe have a message sent out the day before the draft order releases stating the odds of each team to win? There are obviously percentages either way to determine the draft order, so why not release those numbers? It would help us see just how lucky (or unlucky) some teams get.
  13. Definitely bugged, he is asking me for 1.76mill for a 1 year deal. Even taking into consideration I am the highest ranked GM in the world (according to reputation) and my team is 2nd in reputation, he shouldn’t be asking more than 3mill from you.
  14. SUPERSTAR FOR SALE! After one last cup with my team, I have decided to move on from my defense man Joshua Metts. The 98ovr defender has consistently put up 50 point campaigns his whole career, just coming off a 51 point season. He has full blue/green traits and is showing no signs of slowing down in his production. I’m looking for a young Defenseman in return, somewhere along the lines of 20yr and 92+ with good traits (minimum blue big games trait). Once the offseason begins, my draft picks will be restored so those can be included in the deal as well. Looking forward to your offers, Gator
