g_bassi13 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 So I'm the Ottawa 67's, and I try and pull the trigger on a trade to get rid of what are essentially 3 spare pieces to my team. My back up goalie (who by all accounts is still a great player who was demanding near all star returns), a 4th line winger, and a mediocre prospect who failed to make my team out of training camp. I just hit offer to all, but Sarnia's offer looked intriguing. They were really high on every piece in that deal for some reason, so ther offer was 2 2nds, a 3rd, and a mediocre prospect and roster player. Great offer, but I had to haggle. I followed up on it by removing that roster player, then adding more. Then more. Then more. Until it looked like this. You read that right. 18 picks. 5 2nds, 5 3rds, 5 4ths, and 3 5th round picks. I went for another 5th, before they calmed down and said, "This trade does nothing for us." So I had to settle for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bassi13 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 About to go into a 4 person league. It's going to be a fantasy draft, with all players picking teams in the same division, and playing out one season. The person who goes the furthest in the playoffs wins. The person who progesses the least is last (and the regular season points total is a tie breaker if two teams made it to the same stage). The stipulation/punishment for being last place, is having to wear to buy and wear a Roman Reigns t-shirt throughout the summer. Lol. I can't afford to lose. Please people pass me your best advice.

-Stammer- Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 whenever I do a file with the Stars the drafts are way deeper than with other save files, is there a reason for this? Because it's a lot more fun when draft picks are still worth something in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I haven't played in months. No point in playing until the draft if you want the fully updated roster. I assume that is when the next update is coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rough Neck Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Man, in the last two seasons as Columbus, Saad has had two season ending injuries about 5-10 games in. So in the last two years.. he's only played 20 games for me. Also, what kind of tactics do you guys run? Do you do line matching with a checking line, (2 offense, 1 checking, 1 random) or what have you done that you've found successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I have my bottom six lining up against top competition (I believe 3v2 and 4v1) which opens up my top 2 lines to feast on scrubs. This is only because I drafted a really good defensive center and traded for another though. Usually I'll use either my 3rd or 4th line against top competition and the rest depends on what my team looks like. If I have a younger line, I'll obviously try and feed them easier matchups. If not, I'll just give those matchups to the top line so they can hopefully score more. Overall, I'd say line matching is a must unless your team is super balanced from top to bottom.

Kazmanian Devil Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That's interesting, I never linematch. I typically use 9 forwards at even strength, all offensive, and dress 3 shutdown guys to play PK and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoewsables Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Okay, maybe line matching isn't a must then haha. It's certainly helped my teams out though, and deployment can have a huge impact on how well your players perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're doing/did well, lol. We've tried to get it going a couple of times, but the game seems impossible to run online. One issue after another, so that the game can't even begin. We're going to have to wait until we're all in the same room, so we can connect and launch together off of the same IP address. Using Himachi didn't even work.

g_bassi13 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I currently fired my coach a month after he won OHL Coach of the year, and we finished first in the conference in points. He was decent and all, but Bob Hartley was willing to join my team for some unspecified reason, and I signed. It's not even allowed to go over smoothly, because you can't sign the replacement until you fire your actual head coach and anger everyone as if you don't have a plan.
