you make a deal with Goligoski to not sign with the other team, you trade his rights, and then sign him anyway

Huh. That's interesting. I'm reading on r/hockey it sounds like he's open to signing with Arizona.

I haven't touched NHL 16 in over a month (I think). I might just trade it in now while the value is still relatively good.

But do you fix up the sliders as well or do you only mess with strategies? While the NHL games could (probably) use more sliders to adjust gameplay, it has at least a good amount to look at (I think).

I traded mine in while it was still going for almost 30. I checked a bit ago and its down to about 15. Glad i traded it in when i did.

If anyone is bored I'd recommend Big Red Son by David Foster Wallace, a fascinating and hilarious article on porn video awards. It features characters like these:

“I want to thank my mother, who spread her legs and made all this possible.”

and

Mr. John “Buttman” Stagliano—CEO of Evil Angel Inc., a man described by US News & World Report as “the nation’s leading director of hard-core videos”—not only has publicly announced testing positive for HIV but has identified the infection’s vector as a transsexual prostitute in São Paulo ... He’s anxious that people not get the wrong idea: “I am not particularly interested in guys, but I am interested in dicks. Forbidden taboos lead to all sorts of neurotic behavior, which leads to me being f [omitted].

Overall, highly recommended.

some people on hfboards are saying David Perron would work in Montreal

Everyone knows your 12th season in the NHL is usually the big one

Wait really?

Awesome news, last season SUCKED because we were unaffiliated.

Was kinda hoping to move up to the AHL as Vegas' team but whatever.

Ouch, from Alaska? I can't imagine trying to watch NFL games.

Eh, sports in North America are no problem. I'd rather have 9 AM starts for the early game than 9 PM starts for the late game. East Coast people are craaaaazy.

It just sucks when it comes to stuff in Europe, 4 AM F1 races ~10 Sundays a year are so much fun :D but then again I can just stay up late to catch some of the Asian/Australian stuff.

Got it fo free with EA Access. Or however you want to phrase that. Fiancee was able to try out Mirror's Edge, I've played about 10 hours of NHL in the last week, and I'm likely going to use it to play Battlefield early down the line. Good deal.

As for NHL itself, not sure if I can mess with sliders and still go online? I do that when I'm offline/in GM mode, but online I haven't touched it because I didn't think I could.

That's how I've always set the game for years now, it's the only way to get your D to jump into the play. The AI is still garbage.
Click to expand...

Agreed 100%. AI is terrible. There are so many times where the puck is bouncing around in the corner and the nearest player is standing on top of the puck and nothing happens. They stand there and watch and a player swooping in from further away can take it out of the corner with no problem. It was present in the last NHL game I played extensively (NHL 13) and it's only got worse now. It's ridiculous.

If I didn't get it with EA Access I'd be pissed, tbh.

Nice. I'm still playing NHL 15 on PS3 online and I think the preferred strategy there was a trap (1-2-2 Passive, 1-4, and Protect Net). You could also try that if the aggressive thing stops working.

Will definitely keep in mind.

Huh. Pikma how do you feel about this?

I could see him staying there. Thought the price was really low but then realized he isn't signed for next year. Makes a lot of sense.

I remember hoping it was Perron coming back in the Halak deal. I want Okposo, I'll be happy then.

Ilya Bryzgalov has played 40 NHL games in the past three seasons — and didn’t play professionally at all in 2015-16 — but that isn’t about to stop the quirky, veteran netminder from setting his sights on an NHL return.

In an interview with NHLPA.com’s Chris Lomon, Bryzgalov, 35, said a season away from the game has reignited his desire to play in the league, to face the world’s best shooters and give his 10-year-old son, a goaltender himself, the opportunity to watch his father play.

“When I told my son I was looking to play in the NHL again, his eyes lit up,” Bryzgalov told Lomon. “He was so excited. Now he’s older and he understands the game more. It would be great if he could watch me play again, maybe to learn some things that can help him.”

Bryzgalov said the time away from the rink gave him time to rest, “both spiritually and mentally,” but the post-season got his competitive juices flowing again. He told Lomon that watching the playoffs is what really lit the fire.

“I see it as a fresh start,” Bryzgalov said, via NHLPA.com. “I feel like I’m 21 again and just coming into the NHL. I have a hunger to play and to face the challenges that come with playing in this league. I’ve been missing that.”

Stilll worried about the Avs this offseason despite saying they won't trade Barrie. Roykic is still looking for a player to blame for Roy's inept coaching. They better not trade Duchene, Soderberg is a great 3rd line center, but he doesn't cut it for 2nd. I also wonder if Radulov will circle back around to the Avs once he realizes no one is willing to pay him the exuberant price that he is asking.

I might be giving Benning too much credit but the Hamhuis stuff 100% smells of owner meddling for playoffs. Benning can't decide the team's "playoffs but rebuild" mantra. =
