I got my 5th Icon Collectible, so went with the 88 choice pack. Between Potvin and Sakic, went Sakic because his loan was awesome for me.

Apparently 88 icon is the way to go, because it’s the only one you don’t have a chance to pull a goalie in

Squad battle rewards are insane if you can consistently beat the CPU on superstar.

I finished at the middle of the table ranking wise and i got 10 k, and like 4 packs (2 of which were player only packs) and i got a couple decent pulls out of there to sell.

People should spend their time playing Squad Battles right now.

I have a feeling that the rewards will be rolled back soon enough.

It’s the best way to get easy packs.

I don't think they'll change it. Madden's ultimate team rewards are equally good if you're willing to put the time in solos. That's how most of the bigish name youtubers/streamers get good teams. Been like that for years too with little to no changes.

People will still pull packs so EA won't need to change it. The rewards are good, but still not good enough to guarantee you something like an insane promo card (like that Ray Bourque that just conveniently happened to be released after squad battle rewards were given)

At the very least, it's a great incentive to play offline for a change. Something they finally learned from Madden and Diamond Dynasty in MLB.

I used to play HUT on nhl 16 or 17 I think. There was a reward when you owned each and every cards of a team (players/logo/jerseys). Does it still get rewarded? I got all of The hurricanes cards except Staal in purple, I can’t find it in the auction house.

If there is no reward I will sell back the cards

Thanks!

No reward. Staal is a preorder bonus. Not available to buy.

Packed Ovi and sold him for 100k. Figured an 86 won't have that much value for much longer. Probably just gonna sit on my coins for a while until something I really want comes out. Current team:

HH Hornqvist- Cover Matthews- Tarasenko
Kuznetsov-Bergeron-Gaudreau
Pavelski-Kopitar-Duchene
PT Miller-Dubois-Guentzel

Burns-OEL
Letang-Keith
Green-Vlasic

Fleury
Murray

I hate the D-to-D one timers. I use them on occasion but mainly in realistic situations. In 18 I switched to that config just so I could keep up and I actually like it for a completely different reason. Having the D on their off side lets them walk to the middle quicker and easier since they're on their forehand.

If I have a forward coming up the wall, I love passing up to the point, walking to the middle, then bumping it back to the forward. Most times the defensive winger follows my defenseman, leaving a ton of room for my forward to come off the wall and get a great shooting lane.

I don't know how many times I've had D on their correct side, and tried passing to the point+drifting across the blue line just to have them fumble the puck and cause a breakaway for my opponent.

Curious to hear opinions on them adding Icon sents for Mario/Gretzky. People who did multiple 88/89/90 sets are probably pissed they spent collectibles on those guys instead of saving up for 66/99. Also, it seems like they're no longer really "end game" cards. I feel like they're way too easily attainable now. I didn't like how they were only available in packs to start but I think this is a little overboard. Overall I won't complain because I have 8 Icon collectibles and am looking forward to making Mario.

Pulled Ovechkin again in my CS reward pack :laugh:

Everyone does and it’s a legitimate strategy. The d one timers isn’t much of a thing anymore.
This, you need to be quite lucky to work it in actually. Which is good thing, D to D 1 timer was too easy in 19.

I pulled Crosby couple days back from reroll. Yesterday I pulled 86 Murray. My team is pretty darn stacked for being untradeable. Panarin is absolute beast btw, I have 18+18 in 26 GP, all against Superstar AI in Squad Battles. I will finish Elite2, E1 is probably just little bit too far. Should have replayed those couple losses I got during weekend....

What is up with this Diamond Player Choice Pack?! Is this a pre-order reward, is it something we get every week? I just pulled a bunch of special cards, an Ovechkin, and a McDavid, lol. Are these normal pulls, or am I just getting lucky?

Lol, well obviously those are not normal, but people have been pretty luck with diamond packs in general.

Those are pre order packs btw.

I didn't get much of anything out of my Diamond Choice pack. Pietrangelo and Subban were the only guys worth anything.

I decided to open at 7.5K pack and pulled the 87 overall Prime Time Barkov. Sold him for 180K, bought him again about 8 hours later for 85K :laugh: Haven't used him yet, but pretty excited to try him out.

I’ve only tried the 85 Barkov but looooove him

Not to mention there seems to be a lack of good RD

I had Pietrangelo, Subban and Bourque playing off hand because there's straight up no other good options. Karlsson is too expensive for a guy who can't hit the net, Burns is slow as a snail, as is that icon Rob Blake. the classic Subban also has too many downsides to be worth upwards of 80k

As for my squad battles rewards, i got TOTW Voracek and Wheeler out of the same pack :laugh:

I'm pretty happy with my team rn.

Marner/Oates/Kucherov (out of a free pack i got out of a hockey bag incredibly)
Robitallie/Brind'Amour/Fleury
MacKinnon (silver reroll pack)/Bergeron/Shanahan
Marchand/Peca/Draisatl

Bourque/PT Ekblad
Hedman/Doughty
Josi/Pietrangelo

Hextall
Bobrovsky


Marner is so good it's not even funny. Got him out of one of my preorder packs and he's probably been my most clutch player. Robitallie is also great if you can roll the dice and get him out of the icon collectible set (probably one of the only players worth getting out of the 85s, so roll at your own risk)

LMAO I just noticed EA removed the COMPARE PRICE option again for HUT... making it even harder to work the market.

What a joke.

I've had some crazy pack luck in my 2 tradeable diamond packs. 90 overall Rantanen and regular Gaudreau in the first one and Kucherov and Hall in the 2nd amongst others.

My current lineup:

Team OVR: 87

Rantanen (90)-LaFontaine (86)-Kucherov (87)
Gaudreau (84)-Seguin (84)-Kuusela (83)
Hall (84)-Bergeron (84)-Kessel (83)
Wheeler (83)-Gilmour (86-Loan)-Toews (83)

Pietrangelo (83)-Brisebois (82)
Parayko (82)-Jones (83)
OEL (82)-McAvoy (82)

Bobrovsky (83)
Petersen (82 - Fantasy Prospect card)

Special cards:
Rantanen - Classic NHL card (tradeable)
LaFontaine - Icon card (untradeable)
Kuusela - Classic NHL card (tradeable)
Brisebois - Icon card (tradeable - 93 skating is insane!)
Petersen - Fantasy prospect card (untradeable)

Man normally my luck his been awful last few years but this season, have pulled 86 TOTW Matthews and 79 fantasy Weber already. And Weber was in a division title pack.

So pumped!

went all-in on icon collectables and finally got Lemieux. He's really quick. Good shot. I think my next goal is to save for and 89 set and hopefully Coffey.

Honestly all of the sets for events just don't seem worth it this year. Seems like a much better deal to just accumulate coins and buy individual players. Collectibles, sets, etc. just don't seem worth it, especcially with the amount of untradeable items now.

Could you only choose between those two? I'm all in for 88 Forsberg and would be extremly disapointed with Sakic or Potvin. In worst case I could take Selanne, but Forsberg was my best player in HUT last season so really want him again.
