  1. You bet. Was a little rusty in my franchise but I followed my strat from last year (minus the franchise goalies which they fixed) and built a powerhouse. I got 20 amateur scouts at least B+ that uncover all these gems. Just look for the diamond under their name - noticed two colors red and green. Green = Gem / Red = Bust. I swore I saw other colors but couldn't find anything. Some easy tips for those who are new. - Every budget take money from scout traveling, promotions and marketing and max out your scout, coaches and arena maintenance. The first three is not needed, good teams sell tickets regardless - the latter three has to be maxed every year in order for it to grow. I believe my scouting budget is up to 4mil and staff budget is 7 mil(my coach makes $6mil / year lol). - On July 1st, new scouts are added, you must hire them on that day or they'll be gone. This is where you improve your staff - I'd fire anyone under B- and hire about 3 or 4 scouts a year as long as they're B or higher. - Ideally you'll want 3 scouts in each CHL league, one for USA West/East and two for USA Central, then at least one scout for every Euro league. - Once your staff grows you can just auto-scout. If you want to do it manually say for the WHL - you'll have three scouts. Have two of them scout players and the other find talent. Coaching - I like coaches with the Forward specialty - they are more likely to roll three lines. When your team rolls three lines you can get by with a thinner lineup. Coaches grow - so don't be afraid if he has a low grade, mine started as a B- and is now maxed out at A+. Also naturally you'll have more forwards on your team so that means they'll grow faster potential wise. I really think a good coach can make or break your team, I am on my second rebuild and won a cup with two 80ovr goalies with a pretty thin lineup. Problem is asst. coaches will want to be promoted. You really have to pay attention to your RFA's - offer them an extension in the preseason as they'll only want more. Make sure you'll have the cap room to resign them. I had to trade my top goalie prospect as a sweetener to get rid of Okposo's contract - also had to trade Skinner so I could resign Dahlen and Risto(they wanted $9mil/yr each). A good player (mid 80's) should net you a first and a decent prospect. Be ready to see a lot of movement after a couple of years. Lot's of unsigned RFA's too. My next franchise I am turning the cap off - I am 8 years in and the cap is only around $100mil. The top player is making $18mil/yr. When drafting (Elite - Low) > (Top 6 - Med). Put those players(like the one I posted above) on the top line to maximize their potential. Cap dump trades are easier to complete during the draft.
  2. Hope it was worth it, you're now blackballed in the NHL Bob. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2019/04/report-bob-hartley-facing-4-year-doping.html And this guy won a cup? What a clown.
  3. At first I really didn't care if someone was video taping signs but electronic buzzards and Altuve running to the locker room makes me want these guys expelled from the league.
  4. 6,941 people are talking about this In her second tweet, you'll see she refers to Altuve not wanting his jersey ripped off after "Chapman gave up homer." She is of course talking about Altuve's walk-off, ALCS-clinching homer off New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman in Game 6 that sent the Astros to the World Series. Immediately, Twitter investigators uncovered what he/she was talking about. In one video, you'll see Altuve round third base and signal to his teammates not to rip off his jersey during the celebration: 1,246 people are talking about this Hey, maybe he just wanted the jersey to remain in good condition. After all, he did just hit one of the biggest homers of his career in it. Ken Rosenthal, who was one of the reporters who broke the entire sign-stealing story, was on hand that night in Houston as a on-field reporter for FOX. He noticed Altuve's plea to his teammates to not rip his jersey, and made sure to ask him about it during the postgame interview. Does this sound like an innocent man? 1,089 people are talking about this Nothing to see here. He's just a little shy. This is not the first time this buzzer rumor has made the rounds. After the World Series had concluded, pictures and video of Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos sporting some sort of device on his thumb emerged: 987 people are talking about this 279 people are talking about this For anyone wondering if Beltran's niece (or someone posing as Beltran's niece) is a credible source, that account also tweeted about Beltran's hiring four days before it was announced, and tweeted on Wednesday about Beltran stepping down a day before it happened. Whoever it is—his niece, him, a former player, someone else—they've got a lot of inside info and they're not afraid to share it. Let's hope whoever it is keeps it coming.

  5. Saw on the news a bunch of bike lanes were cleared but the adjacent sidewalks were untouched.
  6. Yeah so we can fire him after 2 years for under performance just like his previous two employers.
  7. Sounds like despite the injury Tua will go top 5. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2020-nfl-mock-draft-patriots-take-tom-bradys-replacement-49ers-add-another-athletic-tight-end/
  8. Visibility is pretty bad as well, stay home if you can. So this Winter Bomb is coming into fruition, cold, snowy and windy.
  9. Stay in if you can the roads are a mess and most people haven't started their commute yet.  Visibility sucks as well.

      Haha, my boss didn't make it in either.  And a new woman was supposed to start today...emailed to say no go.  But Deb the trooper's here...come on now people.  

      The 405 bus went through the light then the driver obviously didn't see the flashing train crossing lights!  Went through, train was right there.  Not a fun ride in.

      Took me 45min to get home.  Just got out of the sauna, that was much needed.

      so my salt mine shift is done

      and i really am covered in salt dust

      from salting walkways etc.

       

      :bigblush:

  10. I went with veneers. I was told that my teeth could reset after the braces come off and invisalign you have to wear for the rest of your life(when you sleep).
  11. Simmed a bunch of years to see how the franchise fairs. As expected lot's of cap problems, unsigned RFA's and whack trades. Vegas won a draft lottery from 14th... and Columbus did the worse I've ever seen a CPU team do, like a full out tank job. Their roster was ok except for goaltending they had two 70 overall goaltenders?!? They made a TDL deal and traded Dubois for Mackinnon and Rask. Way too many stars on different teams, there's no way there is that much turnover in the league. I think playing with the cap off and only allowing the CPU to trade at the draft and TDL might yield a more realistic experience.
  12. Pretty sure Beagle is banged up, dude doesn't take a shift off but his speed has been lacking as of late.
  13. Yeah I don't think you'll have much chance to win if it's that cold.
  14. Having a tough time getting my core temperature up.

    1. Heretic

      Get a Ryzen Threadripper - I hear they have really hot cores!

      you could replace "core temperature" with worse options.

      exercise is the best way!

       

  15. Some people just have that look: 'Go ahead, try me. It won't end well for you.'
  16. If the Nucks make the playoffs you'll want Benn in for Fantenberg.
  17. Or why can't the pitcher just throw the dam ball? Instead they(pitcher/catcher) have to spend 30sec relaying what pitch to throw(out of max. 5 pitches) and where to throw(how about just aim for the glove)? Baseball is the one sport where you can just run it on a computer and then just show me the scores on the ticker and I wouldn't be any more or less interested. Also the foul ball is the worst play in sports.
  18. No but I found the diabeatus.... it's in the box.
