If Visentin or Richardson take a big jump they will be on the market
If my backup goalie gets good enough,I will not be resigning Pavelec... also a big FUCK YOU EA in advance of Seguin has another year of 0 growth. I kinda hope some rookies don't grow too much, or they'll ask for too much money...which I don't have. Hope my first line gets better and Jensen will be able to make the team, rest better not get worse, that's what I hope for at least...
I'll sim either when I get home if yoda posts too or later tonight once the tv is free. Make sure to set the draft priority too

GO KINGS
aaaand I'm home! Gonna do all the simming now gonna take a while! Also lol@Spectre coming back and Soc getting banned right after.
EDIT: Actually, I'll do the development sim and up until the draft right now, and the draft tonight! Just in case some people want to set their priority still. (I think those are seperate sims, at least)

lol swept
gg Kings... the drought continues
Progressions:
B. Schenn 79 - 83 is the biggest I've found so far
Carter 85 - 86 at 32 yrs old
a lot of 1 point risers
Haven't had a chance to look on my Xbox yet, so I have no idea how my RFA's like Rielly have grown, but it's looking like Bobrovsky is plateauing at an 82 so I might be in the market for a goalie.

I was hoping Shinkaruk could've grabbed a few more awards, but I guess I'll settle for the Art Ross, Rocket Richard, Lady Byng and Calder.
He has two Calders now as the first and probably last hockey player in history, be happy with that.

Lets see here....
Bogosian back up to an 86
O'Reilly up to an 83
Gallagher up to an 82
Westin up to an 80
Tinordi up to 81
Missiaen up to an 86.......now if only he can stay healthy
Geeze, my AHL development team sucks ass lol
Holy shit, only have 36 million dollars committed in salary for next season...........most of my team are free agents haha

Rielly up to a 77 from 73, which means he will probably end up spending the whole season on the big club... assuming the injury frequency stays as-is.
Brandon Pirri is turning out to be quite the player for me, so thanks to whomever it was I offersheeted a few seasons ago.
I think this season has been my best overall for player growth. But this is my second time losing in the finals, so something is going to have to change.

41 Million dollars in cap space.....
how... I have 12.7.
Released Pavelec to free agency, couldn't pay his 86overall ass, giving the chance to my 84overall rookie goalie. Also FINALLY bought out Brule's crappy contract.BigJonsson
Member
Almost every contract I have is off the books lol
It's taking forever to offer contracts thanks to EA's shitty menu speeds
It's taking forever to offer contracts thanks to EA's shitty menu speeds
I'll be looking to ship away some major talent in the offseason... I have too many 22 year old 79's, I can't play them all. I'll make a trading block once the resigning stage is done... but pretty much, I have Hamonic and Despres (81 4star yellow D-men) and a shitton of 3.5/4star yellow forwards in the 79/21-24 year old range available, which I'll be looking to trade for older, higher-overall pieces.
I'm thinking players like
Street - 22 - 80vr -3.5star
Jensen - 24 - 79ovr - 4star
Beaulieu - 21 (!) - 79ovr - 3.5star
Clifford - 26 - 79ovr - 3.5star
Lofthouse - 22 - 79ovr - 3.5star
Chaput - 25 - 77ovr - 3star
or a year or two away from the NHL
Cousins - 23 - 74ovr - 3.5star
or Stephenson, Koalska, Gleason, Wakabayashi, Lefebvre who are all mid-60's, 21/22 years old and 3.5/4star forwards...

I'm thinking of moving Skinner, 86ovr, 4.5 Yellow, 25yrs, $6.1mio with 2 years left.
Looking for young 4star+ prospects that can already play in the NHL.

I need to move salary, I can't have guys making 3-4M on the bottom 6, while I have rookies finally ready to make the jump.
Looking to package guys for just one player or too.
Callahan
Vanek
Palmieri
And I will add my only 4 star prospect (puempel)
I also have an extra 3.5 star dman and goalie that have no space for.
The retirement has already passed right? because Gionta is still on the roster.

Drop me from the league. I will rejoin as another team tonight
You need to trade me Luuucciiiccc first brah.
Rand0m TAG
Member
Oh you still want lucic? Will stay as phoenix for now then
Or he could just make the AI trade... Also it's probably easier if you leave&rejoin the league yourself, since I can only kick, but not invite people. Just go to league members and click on yourself there, i think that's how it works.

Why are mid-70's RFAs asking for 8 year one way contracts lol
Why are all my RFAs asking for one way contracts, they all suck ass, must be a last day of re-signing thing?
Players with 60 ratings should never be asking for a one way deal

mhmmmm Spectre and I have made similar "weird" observation. E.g. giving the players exactly what they wanted, then they suddenly change their demands. e.g. my 78 overall initially asked for 1 year on a 2way, now he's asking for 5 years on a 1way. Similarly, before Peckham had asked for 5.8 for 5 years, now he's asking for 4.9 for 8 years... (never mind you, 8 years before he had asked for WAY more than that).
I don't really know what's happening, to be honest. I'll see what happens to their demands after tomorrow's sim, if they normalize again I might have to add an extra resigning day, since this is a bit odd, admittedly. Other people please report too if you've made similar observations of sudden changes in demands/weird demands.
