I'm happy to announce:

NHL32 - Seattle Edition!

Based off the NHL36 database, NHL32 allows EHM users who might want to explore a future NHL scenario but aren't quite ready for the dramatic increase to 36 teams to simply have a more realistic 32-team experience. With the NHL drawing ever closer to expanding to Seattle in real life, the natural fit for NHL32 is to have Seattle as that 32nd club. Sorry Quebec fans! There is still NHL36 to experience for a broader range of expansion candidates.

All downloads are on the EHM NHL32 page. I've organized it a bit better (much better) than the NHL36 page so hopefully that will help newbies. If you've used NHL36, this will be old hat. But I've also done an extensive step-by-step tutorial to install all the components and also shared my Expansion Draft Toolkit for people to use to create their own Seattle expansion draft roster.

Big thanks to archi whose editor is what makes this entire thing possible!

Great job! And I have one question.

In this database, are there true winners of individual awards (Hart, Art, etc..) in last years? It's imporant thing for me.

Yes the award history for the NHL is updated.

I plan on doing a guide in that same thread later as well to show step by step how to “relocate” existing teams as well (pre-game of course). I’d like for people to be able to fairly easily setup their own ideal 32 team alignment as well.

I don't mean this in any way, but why do people care about award history and certain historical aspects like that? I don't mean to complain, but I just want to hear about what others think.

I know some users like FHM because it categorizes the historical side better, but I just don't see the point. If you're a user who sims through many years a lot (50+) its one thing to look back and to see how well players did. I for one can care less who won awards before 2015

I'm that type. But still, than there will be a year 2050, it's a long time.

And I really hate when I has been started game, look at awards and there are not winners from last seasons, but there is a winner from 2010-11, then from 2007/08.. it's really bad view. But that is OK, I can edit that in editor and I will do this for every database.

But I think that BKarchitect can do this too and problem would be solved.

And the history of Stanley Cup champions too (somewhere in some database were some bad winners)

I plan on adding this to my rosters, unfortunately it's way more tedious then it sounds, the team records, awards, everything, its a lot of fields to update.

So close yet so far...Kansas City Scouts lose in the Stanley Cup Final to Tampa Bay Lightining in 6 games.

It was a great season in so many ways for this young team. Didn't find any trade partners so I ended up with the same roster:
Vladimir Tkachyov (33+53=86 in 77)- Filip Chytil (40+34=74 in 65) - Dylan Strome (37+44=81)
Jesperi Kotkaniemi (19+33=52) - Ryan Suzuki (15+19=34) - Albin Grewe (31+25=56 in 78)
Andrew Shaw (13+12=25) - Radek Faksa (5+15=20) - Mitchell Stephens (7+9=16)
William Carrier (10+12=22) - Phillip Danault (6+18=24 in 77) - Bryan Lockner (17+14=31)
Kasper Simontaival (11+10=21 in 19)

Jimmy Schuldt (2+32=34 in 62) - Adam Boqvist (3+46=49)
Jared McIsaac (3+24=27) - Timothy Liljegren (5+31=36)
Artyom Zub (1+10=11) - Chris Tanev (2+12=14 in 71)

Ilya Sorokin (52-11-8, 1.82GAA 0.929SV% 8SO)
Alexis Gravel (7-6-0, 3.19GAA 0.879SV% 1SO)

So as you can see, Ilya Sorokin went absolutely bonkers and dominated on this side of the Atlantic Ocean as well. Kasper Simontaival got a chance to play on the first line with Chytil and Tkachyov missing some time. Chytil was also injured during the first round fo the playoffs allowing Simontaival to play on the first line. Tkachyov - Strome - Simontaival line was absolutely on fire, especially Simontaival finishing 11+19=30 in 21 games. Chytil, once cleared to play, took a new position as the 2nd line center and helped young forwards Grewe and Kotkaniemi to finish with 12 and 14 goals in the playoffs respectively. Sorokin showed some signs of humanity finishing 14-8-0 with 2.43GAA and 0.908SV%.

All in all this is a team on the rise with plenty of cap space to sign their young guns and keep the core intact for at least few more years. Sorokin now has some NHL experience (and assuming hardware) so the future looks bright. Next step is winning that Stanley Cup.

Wow I’ve never been able to turn Strome into anything special in NHL36 even though he has good potential. He was playing right wing on your top line?

Yeah, when Chytil was healthy he played RW and when Chytil was injured I put Simontaival on RW and Strome played C. To be fair I traded for Strome last summer so this was the first season he played for me.

Here's his attributes:

Make sure to use the latest version of the editor 0.2.6 released today (1/24) to do any expansion draft importing. The old version was messing up the real NHL contracts. They will now be preserved.

Eastside Hockey Manager Editor (v0.2.6) [BETA]

Tried to make some tests (As i wrote above i had big issues with staff), but it breaks down every time, when i want to load saved game. It is on the place, when it wants to load some "injury temp data"..

Are you trying to edit a saved game rather than a database? Editing saved games is very unstable (there is little you can do without causing issues). The "Injury Temp Data" issue sounds like something that would arise from editing a saved game.

Yeah. Saved game. I want to put some Staff members into my game, because there are only few.

Kansas City Scouts wins the Stanley Cup!!!

All in all a very successful season from the Scouts all around. Players, coaches and management all did a great job and helped the new franchise win its first (of many) Stanley Cups.
The team won the President's Trophy with a 61-16-5 record and followed that with a 16-2-0 record in the playoffs.

On player level the success was all around:

Tkachyov 45+58=103. Art Ross, Lady Byng, King Clancy, 2nd All-Star
Chytil 45+54=99. Hart, Conn Smythe, 1st All-Star.
Strome 39+40=79. Selke runner-up, Conn Smythe 3rd place.
Grewe 30+27=57 (in 74). 3rd consecutive 30 goal season.
Simontaival 26+18=44. Good first full season in the NHL.

Boqvist 10+58=68 (in 79). Norris Trophy, 1st All-Star
Schuldt 4+58=62. Norris runner-up, 1st All-Star
Liljegren 7+35=42. Career year all around.
Fensore 4+23=27 (in 67). Rookie All-Star. Fought his way in to the line-up and was really good 3rd pair/PP specialist.

Sorokin 52-12-5, 2.05 GAA, 0.915 Sv%, 8 SO. Vezina, Jennings, Conn Smythe runner-up, 2nd All-Star. Back-to-Back Vezina to star his career.

Head Coach Guy Boucher coached a great season winning the Jack Adams trophy.

In addittion the GM made some really good moves:

Fall 2024 Signs FAs Josh Manson (2year/3,7M AAV), Matt Duchene (2year/2M AAV)
Nov 18th 2024 Scouts trade Chris Tanev to Golden Knights for VGK 1st (2025), VGK 1st (2026), VGK 2nd (2027). Tanev had a great start for the season but Fensore needed playing time so Tanev was traded when his value was high.
Jan 7th 2025 Ilya Sorokin signs 6 year extension worth 24M (4M/AAV)
Jan 9th 2025 Timothy Liljegren signs 6 year extension worth 34,5M (5,75M/AAV)

Yeah. Saved game. I want to put some Staff members into my game, because there are only few.

Need to do stuff like that with the editor and the database before starting the game. Cant really add anything after a save starts, can only really edit preexisting stuff but even then it can get a bit iffy.

It's been a while, so here is NHL36 v2.6!

- No huge updates really since much has been quiet but the usual transactions and contract updates in major leagues. Jagr is now loaned to Kladno. Some tinkering with the surging rookies - for example, Leafs fans will be pleasantly surprised to see Dermott (and to a lesser extent, Holl) bumped into far more prominent positions on the depth chart.

- More tinkering on future drafts. Really think the 2018 draft is to a point where it is playing out really, really well in comparison to current projects for the first few rounds at least. 2019, 2020 and 2021 draft prospects have been updated and even a few real life 2022 draft prospects have been added - keep an eye out for Matthew Savoie in Alberta and Shane Wright in Ontario - they look like the next crop of phenoms on the horizon and are treated as such in this database. Since they are 2004 born, you might not even see them right away since they are so young!

- Some ratings updates for NCAA guys and some MHL guys...the NCAA guys in particular will be of interest if you are playing an expansion team. Besides the usual suspects like Schuldt and Brickley - bumps for Colorado College's dynamite duo of Nick Halloran and Mason Bergh, blueliners like Grant Hutton of Miami and Alex Rauhauser of Bowling Green and forwards like Nick Jones at UND and Colt Conrad of WMU should continue to help provide an ever-expanding pool of older, signable NCAA standouts that are easily AHL calibur talents and could, with some development and luck, be legit NHL players. I can't stress enough how useful the NCAA is to fill in your system depth for the first few years of the game in NHL36, so do a lot of scouting. And of course, Russia is always a treasure trove of essentially "free" talent if you can get guys to sign with you.

Version 2.6 - Original NHL36 Expansion (February 2, 2018)
Dropbox - NHL36 - Original v2.6.zip
Version 2.6 - NHL36 "Great North" (February 2, 2018)
Dropbox - NHL36 - Great North v2.6.zip
Version 2.6 - NHL36 "City Lights" (February 2, 2018)
Dropbox - NHL36 - City Lights v2.6.zip
Version 2.6 - NHL36 "Wild West" (February 2, 2018)
Dropbox - NHL36 - Wild West v2.6.zip

As usual let me know if there are any issues. Martin St. Louis' awards history was not showing up in v2.5 - I *think* that is fixed now but I have yet to look in game. All-Star game I'm still working on.

Quick February 3 ninja edit: Fixed an error with Shattuck St. Mary's that was preventing their NCAA committed kids from going to the correct college. Also, tweaked and added a few more future draft prospects (Alex Turcotte switched to center, a few more WHL 2018 Bantam Draft prospects added). And - because Ottawa is stinking this year, their 1st round pick in the Duchene trade that goes to Colorado will likely be their 2019 one, not their 2018 one so I switched that up. All the same links work, still v2.6.

Is the NHL draft lottery hardcoded? I ask because it's sort of bull**** that I am by far the worst team in the league and some how finish ****ing 16th after the draft lottery took place...

If you are last in the standings, you shouldn't finish later than 4th. If you really finished 31th (or whatever is the last position in your game), I'd consider sending the saved game to Riz to see if there is a bug. What roster are you using?

Did the team own its own first round pick?

I know in my NHL32 database (Seattle) - there is a bug whereby teams not in the bottom 14 can win the lottery. Which is odd because in NHL36, I have yet to see that bug and NHL32 is a direct port of the NHL36 database, simple with some structural changes to get to 32 teams.
