id take the NHL status off half the oilers team

I'm a rangers fan. Miller needs an increase. Klein could be bumped up a couple points, he's solid. Girardi and staal haven't been the same so they can be lowered. Lindberg with maybe a point or two increase. Brassard too. Glass should have like a 17 overall. Mcilrath could get a point or two increase as well.

Vancouver Canucks increase:
Chris Tanev (86)
Ben Hutton (82)
Jacob Markstrom (83)
Alex Biega (78)
Sven Baertschi (81)
Bo Horvat (85)
Jannik Hansen (86)

Decrease:
Luca Sbisa (80)
Derek Dorsett (78)
Brandon Prust (76)
Chris Higgins (79)
Yannick Weber (77)
Radim Vrbata (84)
Linden Vey (77)

I'd bump up Kucherov and Palat, keep Johnson the same since this season he's been battling injuries and hasn't done too much. Same goes for Palat but he's such a beast. Kucherov has been tearing it up this year and leads the Lightning in points. He needs a higher rating

 

[Mister Ed]

On Detroit, I would increase Larkin and Dekeyser.

Erik Gustafsson deserves a pretty significant bump. He has played 28 games, 10 points, +10. He's a 68 overall and has slower speed than Rob Scuderi

I really wonder how EA even does ratings for newer players in the NHL. Do they just do a random number generator for ratings? If you watched Gustafsson play literally two shifts total you could definitely tell he should have much higher speed than a 79.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

To tell you something about EA: Laine is a two-way forward with a very bad shot, Puljujärvi is slower than most Liiga players. For some reason they never give realistic stats to prospects, while giving some questionably high stats for older players. I don't get why they deliberately don't give a Liiga or some other lower league player with NHL speed, for example, the stats he deserves.

Some guys who deserve a small bump:
Barkov
Ristolainen
Trocheck (probably, haven't checked his overall)
Korpisalo (believe he's an 78 or something now)
Armia

Really like that. I'll use those for my next BAGM.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

In general: Staal, Girardi, Ehroff, Scuderi and just about all the LTIR players (Pronger, Horton etc.) should be downgraded. Then I won't have to redo the rosters every time after an update lol.

Sorry for double-posting.

 

[PuqTalk]

No offense, but these posts will be kind of useless unless you're actually going over which attributes you're updating specifically.

Barkov (86/87)
Ekblad (86/87)
Huberdeau (85)
Campbell (84)
Jokinen (84)

Kulikov (84)
Gudbranson (85)
Trocheck (85)

Decrease:
Pirri (80/81)
Bolland (Idk.....50?)

Bold I agree with.
Barkov to gain shot power+accuracy, defensive awareness, puck possession and offensive awareness and balance.
Trocheck to gain in offensive awareness and shooting(wrister power+acc)
Ekblad in defensive awareness, checking, balance


Decrease:

Bjugstad: Decrease defensive awareness a tad.
