That's why I said "feasibly" It's mostly fans in that top 5/10 range who seem scared of drafting him for that reason.

ah ok

just didn't want anyone to think I hated him that much lol

 

[Quick]

From what I gathered on SportsCentre, the announcement is to talk financial figures and I think either Vegas' formal submission for expansion or the NHL saying that Vegas is cleared to make a formal submission.

 

[GSG Flash]

I think the formal announcement is of the actual sales figures of the ticket drive, not expansion announcement.

At least that's how I interpreted the tweets.

it would be neat because you'd likely get Quebec's team too as their arena is almost finished buuuut I think nbc jumped the gun

Where the heck would Quebec be placed though in terms of the conference/division?

If there was an expansion, I would think that making the two conferences even would be a priority for the NHL.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hey guys I think you should buy this game.

I'm not big on the Manager Simulator Games. Someone Gave me a Soccer Manager Game on Steam Years ago as a joke gift. I'm sure there's an Audience for it.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Going back to Transistor has made me really appreciate that game whereas I just lost interest during launch. The hype machine is a dangerous thing.

let's ship Detroit back to the West!

Well if they're just adding 2 teams outright... It'll be 17 vs 15 split

Seattle and Toronto 2 (or what other teams they're looking to add) will be west only

Then expand the playoffs to 20 teams... Success.

 

[megachao24]

I'll love to see the shit fit Detroit makes if they're forced to move back west.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I don't think Quebec will get a team.

I bought FHM back when it came out in fall 2013, I didn't like it, you couldn't even hire coaches, I hope FHM 2015 will be good so that we have multiple options for hockey management sims.

FHM is impenetrable. Which is kind of odd because I've put some hours into OOTPB and I don't remember it being hard to figure out.

SI can make a sim tho. Oh, they can make a sim. *looks at Steam usage chart*

 

[Merguson]

I'm definitely getting it

It's not too heavy on the wallet, so even if it's half baked right now that's fine.

Yeah, FHM was really rough. Lots of bugs, crashes, etc. I think the developers tried to put too much features into the game at first.

FHM2 looks nice but we'll see how stable the game is. I think they are aiming for a late May release.

Works for me

Well if they're just adding 2 teams outright... It'll be 17 vs 15 split

Seattle and Toronto 2 (or what other teams they're looking to add) will be west only

Then expand the playoffs to 20 teams... Success.

I just don't think the NHL will be expanding in the east anytime soon. Quebec's best chance was the Thrashers moving there, it would have worked out in terms of conferences as well, but unfortunately their arena wasn't ready and the Atlanta spirit group wanted to sell ASAP.

Seattle and LV is what I see for the next expansion.

I don't think Quebec will get a team.

It had a lot of bugs too, but OOTP did skip last year to make sure they bring out a better game this year, so FHM 2015 might be surprisingly good.

SI is the management sim king though, on top of EHM 2005, I put in hundred of hours into Football Manager as well.

Booth must have asked if he could have the last doughnut in the recreation room.

naw man, Kessel would've just run to the rec room. he probably told him he already ate it!

 

[calder]

OK, I bought that Eastside Hockey Manager game. Now how do I make the Jets win the Cup *and* draft lottery this year, is it like a code?

Also how do I contract the Kings, Oilers and maybe Leafs?

 

[Socreges]

Also just want to note that while Bailey didn't get an assist on that goal, he made a smart positional play at the blueline to obstruct a defender who was locked in on Rielly. Good sign.

Dat hockey sense!
His skating looked okay too.

Thoughts, NHL-GAF? Is this the perfect representation of rock bottom? Or is it possible to sink lower?

Just give him the C already

Me too. Thats why it needs to happen.

I don't think Quebec will get a team.

Panthers when they move.

 

[Fata1moose]

28 teams would be so much better, just dissolve the Coyotes and Panthers. It's going to suck if we lose some depth players on the Avs, how many players can be protected in an expansion draft?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Based on the last expansion draft:

One goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards

or

Two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards

 

[calder]

Oh god I'm going to clean house on my bottom six. Then trade for Price.

Oh that would be be fine.

Varlamov

Barrie, Johnson... :lol
Duchene, MacKinnon, Landeskog, O'reilly, Iginla, Tanguay, McGinn, Everberg, Mitchell

We could keep everyone I wanted and then some.

 

[Yawnier]

Cameranesi!!!!

 

[Unhandled Exception]

If we only protect 2 defensemen do we get extra draft picks?

 

[Red_Man]

Who will have the more entertaining off season, Toronto or San Jose?

Both, when they become trade partners and unload.

 

[Yawnier]

God damn, Duluth is slaughtering the the other Minnesota team right now

So much o-zone time

 

[Pikma]

Breathe, Coldnoodle...

I love how Ovi's always making everyone's dreams come true, here you can see him being super nice to a midget he met by accident

 

[bonesmccoy]

Normally Marvie's comment about Florida moving would have brought about a sour post from Dubbed. What happened to that guy?

28 teams would be so much better, just dissolve the Coyotes and Panthers. It's going to suck if we lose some depth players on the Avs, how many players can be protected in an expansion draft?

32 teams and figure out how to reduce the size of the goalie's pads.

It'll be like the 80s again.

 

[Samyy]

Cameranesi!!!!

1G 1A for Cameranesi
1A for Toninato

Cameranesi and Toninato lead Minnesota-Duluth in scoring, which is interesting I guess.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Jooooorisss!!!

Well that lead was fun for all 2 seconds it lasted.

How does this compare to FHM?
