Nice, won the draft lottery despite finishing 4th last. Whose the best player in the 2016 draft? I didn't edit anybody and didn't add Matthews

Depending on what roster update you're on, Matthews is in the game lol.

I'm playing NHL 15 on the 360, so he isn't

How do you make tables?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Two more seasons of Ottawa to write up here and then I'm finished with it. It was a good time.

What team should I do next? Preferably Western Conference.

Not sure just don't do the Wild
Maybe the Yotes would be fun

Hopefully not the Kings . I don't remember a Dallas or St. Louis one recently, if you're looking for something new, you could try them.

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Hearing that Chuck Fletcher has been fired after a dispute with ownership over Wild's plans

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Fletcher thought they should rebuild, ownership wants a cup now

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Stewie Stewart of the ECHL Wheeling Nailers seems to be the guy they want

hire Stewie Stewart as new general manager

Although he is a chimp, the ownership has put all their trust in him.

Stewart spoke to the media:

Stewart: I feel like after adding a few pieces, the should be able to make a long run at Lord Stanley. I will address our needs, but I am confident with our core and Head Coach John Torchetti

 

[NYR89]

One time I was playing as the Rangers, and I won every playoff game 2-1

Actually though, I did lose like 3 games in a row one time by the same score with the same people scoring. It was very strange.

I've never had what happened to you, happen to me though.

I just seem to win the President's Trophy and then get swept in round one on an annual basis.

Also, what happened to the game telling you a guy retired?! I was checking contracts and Lundqvist isn't there...

Yeah... it doesn't tell you anymore. So dumb.

 

[A Calgary Flames Fan]

Year 3's been kinda up and down, but we've been on a bit of a tear lately and are 35-23-3 heading to the deadline. Make not make any major moves

Line-up
Hoffman-Olimb-Cammalleri
Boucher-Zibanejad-Kovalchuk
Higgins-Lehtera-Moss
Martin-Gomez-Fontaine

Demers-Orlov
Yandle-Greene (Yandle is on 2nd pair because Demers and Orlov are doing great together)
Larsson-Severson

Schneider
Pickard

AHL Top 6, Top 4 and Starting Goalie

Clowe-Schroeder-Ikonen
Bourque (Rene)-Baillie-Tedenby

Samuelsson-Folin
Helgeson-Redmon

Wedgewood

I used Wedgewood in the 2015 playoffs after Schneider got hurt and Clemmensen struggled and he dominated. However, he got injured too, Clemmensen lost us 3 in a row and we were out. Planned to use Wedgewood as a back-up last year but he was terrible, so I just picked up Andres Lindback and he played alright. Calvin Pickard is my backup now, traded Elias for him because I figured he was gonna retire (He didn't, Year 3 and he's still playing great. Never seen him stay after Year 2)

Yeah, I've had many players disappear on me, and I didn't find out until after the preseason when I went to make my roster moves.

Really hope they add that back again. Not only so we actually are aware of who retired, but because I used to like to look at what numbers players finished their careers with. Guys like Ovi, Crosby, etc.

 

[Dabeast]

Does anyone have interest in a challenge game with the Canucks?

 

[SuperGM17]

Colorado
Winnipeg
Minnesota

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I was thinking Anaheim for my next GM mode but Vancouver is so **** that I could do them and rebuild it.

I think I'll do Anaheim first and then Vancouver.
