Appleyard, you'll be happy about this. Seabrook was unhappy on the Blackhawks so I traded Schultz and Luke Schenn for Seabrook and Kruger.

I always liked reading EHM stories. I was a big fan of the original EHM. I played a game file to 2093 (took about 8 years to make it that far). For some reason the interface of the 2007 version turned me off, but I'll probably give the new one a shot
Finally finished a terrible first season with a record of 24-48-10 for a total of 58 points. 2 ahead of the Jets for last place. On the other side of the standings, Tampa Bay finished with an incredible 58-17-7 record and 123 points.
Tampa Bay beat Minnesota in 6 games to win the Stanley Cup
Brandon Wheat Kings beat the Guelph Storm to win the Memorial Cup
Russia beat Sweden to win the World Championships

After the season I fired Ron Wilson and hired Michel Therrien to be the new head coach. Then I went into the offseason. Somehow I was able to sign Anthony Duclair. I was getting mail that a bunch of teams were offering a contract so I figured hey why not offer him one too. He rejected offers from 13 other teams and picked me
I lucked out and won the lottery so I got to select first overall. Here are a few of my picks from the draft.
1st Overall: Connor McDavid - Center - Erie
30th Overall: Ivan Provorov - Defense - Brandon
51st Overall: Anthony Richard - Center - Val d'Or
92nd Overall: Devin Williams - Goalie - Erie
Well I missed playoffs, it was mainly due to Giroux being incredibly injury prone. He was out for about half the season and I had a bit of a carousel going on for my 1st line.
Here's a bunch of things I did:
I brought Gustafsson back into the line-up and he is seriously doing really well. Top 4 taking big minutes.
Mason ended the season with .910 which I was quite happy with, I'm letting Emery walk so I'll be in the hunt for a new backup.
I traded Akeson to the Blues for Dmitri Jaskin, he's with the Phantoms right now but I think he'll be able to play his way onto the roster.
Umberger, Grossmann, Schenn are gone for picks. Cola walked. I gave Shoane Morrisonn a contract and he's a very cheap #7. I was expecting to send him to the AHL eventually to bring up some of my young guys, but his stats have been great so I might keep him on full time next season as long as he keeps his play up.
I somehow bamboozled Toronto out of Nylander , he's been doing pretty well, I kept him on the Phantoms for the end of the season.
Gudas has been a pain in the ass, he always has a load of PIMs every game and he is constantly unhappy, he claims the referees are treating him unfairly.
I still haven't been able to shed VLC though...
Appleyard, do you keep your training settings that high during the season, or do you tinker with them again?
Does anyone play this game on a mac? If so, what program do you use to run windows? Did you have to pay for this program? Or? Sounds like a fun game and I would love to play it on my Mac.
