Whoever wins the job and shows they're ready to start in the NFL. If we get to play at all. And if not, does Mason's contract expire?
Most of us around here hope it's Bobrovsky who takes the mantle when the season finally kicks off. You are very optimistic to think that there will be 82 games played.
Post these in the sticky fantasy thread, please.
How many here have NHL 13 for xbox?
The withdrawl isn't too bad right now with the combination of college football, the NFL, and Jeff Gordon SOMEHOW making the Chase to keep NASCAR interesting. I'm also playing the "2012-13" season on NHL 12 with my own signings/trades, so it's like getting to be GM for a surrogate season. (Prospal and Bryan McCabe retired after winning the Cup, Aucoin also retired, so I decided to go my own way, keeping Nash, re-upping Juice, signing Marty Turco on the cheap as a backup to a good-in-the-game Mason, signing an on-the-cheap Teemu Selanne to replace Vinny, and picking up Lidstrom to bolster the blue line.)
I will be significantly angrier if, for some twist of fate or other reason, Vinny Prospal doesn't play another real life game in a CBJ uniform.
Your team would get wrecked by my 2015-16 team on that game. After drafting Nail Yakupov 1st overall and allowing him to develop, I won the Cup with he and Rick Nash on the top line. I also dealt for Ryan Murray, and after winning the Cup traded Yakupov to Ottawa for 90 overall rated Jared Cowen. I allowed John Moore to develop into a Norris Trophy winner (wtf?), and Matt Calvert into a first line player. My "team ratings" are maxed out for offense, defense, and goaltending. Yes, I am truly an EA Sports GM HOFer.
Johansen won the Calder for me in my first season.
I forgot about the Draft. Thanks to EA's scouting system, I drafted Yakupov, Galchenyuk, Murray, Reinhart, AND Grigorenko.
I'm going to join the league now, please accept
I'm looking to get a veteran on the cheap for my NHL12 Dynasty and have the choice of giving a two-way deal at $525k to Steve Sullivan or Saku Koivu. Given these lines:
Nash-Brassard-Huselius
Umberger-Johansen-Selanne
Ott-Letestu-Dorsett
Atkinson/Williams-MacKenzie-Boll
Williams (13th forward, IR with a concussion)
...who do you pick? Atkinson and Williams are on two-way deals, so one could be sent down to allow room for the other, along with Sullivan/Koivu if things don't go well there (the AHL roster could use some depth). I figure either is a low-risk, potential decent-reward move.
