I almost want to go get a PS4 and the latest EA NHL. Of course if I do the new PS5 or whatever it’s named will be on it’s way to the market.

Oh man I've found some funny ones, I think I saved some screenshots I'll have to check. One guy had "lol" in his name, NHL 17 though.

Got one of these the other day and wish I took a picture of it. It was something like Jonathan Jer lol, I swear. The lol wasn't capitalized and it was part of a two-word last name.

That would make a cool storyline. Like the 2nd generation (the kids of Datsyuk etc) coming through the pipeline

Funny you mention that. I kind of always imagine that there are siblings once you get to generated names. Like, I've drafted a D man named Chris Zanetti and two years later, his brother Erik Zanetti pops up as a playmaker C. They're brothers.

I'm not far along and none of mine compare to some you guys are posting, especially from previous years' games...

But I did get:

I. Brain - Enforcer (Ian)

R. Rabbit (Ronald, sadly!)

I drafted Chinese super stud Ray Brashear in 2023 once. Be a GM is unplayable after year 5 lmao.
Wonder if he knows my 96 overall winger Harry Pope from Kazakhstan.

Sometimes in the late rounds of the draft I'll just pick the most ridiculous sounding name and hope I strike gold. The broken name generator sometimes keeps things interesting.

This is one of the reasons i haven't play be a gm in like forever, a guy called Brad yzerman from North korea is the top guy before the draft, ok...... at least organize the names, how hard could it even be to select fore and surname for each country to make a newgen list, and then have a ranking from hockey tradition, fx Canada Russia Sweden US most probably.
