NHL 12 Dynasty Thread Part 5

[GAMO1992]

I figured that they were off. I hope you beat the records. Maintaining your roster must be pretty easy.

You would think so eh?
It is, most of the time, but when I draft a really good prsopect, Its a hard choice between an active roster player, and "the rookie"....its happened before, and it sucks having to trade away great young players cuz your a contending team with no room for prospects...

Or when you have to re-sign one of your good young prospects/players they want too much. (E.G. I made a custom team with the best players are traded them off for picks. I got a slew of high (top 10) picks. Of course they did well and all wanted $5+ mill each. I had to keep them because they allowed me to get some cups. I just wish EA would allow you to re-sign a player during the year (kinda like tendering a offer during the offseason) The only advantage I had was I could trade players at the deadline if I knew I couldn't sign them after the season. Oh well. One more month until NHL 13!!!

I can NEVER trade a player at the deadline with only one yr left on contract!! the CPU is alwys like: `x player`s contract is up at seasons end and we feel its an unnecessary risk blah blah" crap. so I have to keep them and let them walk!!!
yeah that can be a problem! EA "said" they fixed that problem, and they did, slightly..The not-so-highly-rated(83 and down I'd say) young players dont ask for a TON like they used to, but the slightly higher ones demand a fair bit. and one thing i've found is, if a good young player's contract is up RIGHT after winning the cup, they ask for a lot more then normal!!

I KNOW!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!
ITS GOING TO BE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN 12!!!!

That part REALLY pisses me off. I understand if Stamkos did that but I got that from Yakupov after playing his final year of his ELC on my team. I think the re-signing shouldn't be so damn demanding.

As for the final year deadline, I've been able to trade without any problem. Maybe it's because I just ask for picks.

I might have to try your one center idea to save some cap.

That trick is really helpful. If you just sim, then you can spend 60% of your cap on 6 players

Would it be realistic to have two lines that you double up on? (1 line that plays the 1st & 3rd line and 1 line that plays the 2nd and 4th) I know it's not 100% realistic but it's a video game.

"Provin' 'Em Wrong"
Tampa Bay Defeats Pittsburgh in Seven Games

Teddy Purcell tries to get past Deryk Engelland and Brooks Orpik in game two in Tampa Bay.

Despite being up against the heavily-favored Pittsburgh Penguins, the Tampa Bay Lightning proved everyone wrong by coming out on top in seven games. It was close all the way up until the end of game seven, where James Neal scored with 19 seconds remaining, but the Bolts held on. This series went back-and-forth all the way. Neither team won two games in a row.

The Lightning have surprised everyone in the playoffs so far, but they'll have to keep it going in the next series against the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo defeated the Lightning in round one last season, so it's time for revenge.


Game 1: 4-3 Win
Game 2: 4-2 Loss
Game 3: 3-2 Win
Game 4: 5-3 Loss
Game 5: 1-0 Win
Game 6: 2-1 OT Loss
Game 7: 3-2 Win

Coming up next:

VS. ​

Canucks Knock Off Oilers In 5; Will Play Kings In WCF


The Vancouver Canucks will advance to the Western Conference finals for the third year in a row after they made quick work of the Edmonton Oilers. The Canucks lost game 1 4-3 in overtime, but came back to win the next 4 in a row in convincing fashion. Game 2 was a 3-0 shutout, while games 3 and 4 were 5-1 and 5-2 victories in which Edmonton goaltender Jonas Hiller was lit up early and often. Game 5 was a tightly-contested affair that ended in a 1-0 shutout.

The Canucks will face the Kings, who defeated the Ducks in 5 games, in the Western Conference finals.

"Wheelin' and Dealin'"
Tampa Bay Lightning 2013 Draft Report

Nathan Mackinnon, the most hyped draft pick since Sidney Crosby, will begin his career with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Everyone watching the 2013 NHL draft felt like they were experiencing deja vu. Just like last year, the Tampa Bay Lightning traded for the first overall selection in the draft. Nathan Mackinnon was selected with the pick, and is expected to be a franchise player. The details of the trade are below, along with two other deals that the Bolts made during the draft.

[FIELDSET="Tampa Bay Draft Day Trades"]

Tampa Bay Receives: 2013 1st Round Pick + Devante Smith-Pelly

Anaheim Receives: 2013 1st + Jonny Oduya + PA Parenteau



Tampa Bay Receives: Alex Edler + Anthony Bardaro (TWF A-,A-,B)

Vancouver Receives: Marty St. Louis + Chris Phillips + 2013 3rd round pick




Tampa Bay Receives: 2014 2nd Round Pick

St Louis Receives: Brian Lee​

[/FIELDSET]

The Lightning drafted two notable prospects this year. Here is what TSN had to say:
[FIELDSET="2013 Tampa Bay Draft Picks"]
1st Round: Nathan Mackinnon
Very fast skater, with a hard shot and amazing playmaking ability. Gets creative in the offensive zone, but is weak defensively.
Comparison: Sidney Crosby
Career projection: Franchise player, top line forward

4th Round: Rasmus Ristolainen
Smart two-way defender, is great positionally, and has strong offensive skill. Needs to work on being more physical.
Comparison: Kimmo Timonen
Career projection: second pairing, two-way defenseman[/FIELDSET]​

Yeah, EA seems to have a hard time with "realistic" salary expectations for younger, better players. and Wow! How much did Yaks ask for? $4m+?

It would work!! just make sure you have some scrub(cheap) players as "dressed" but not in the lineup and you should be ok with the cap!!

Wow! you really swept up at the draft!!!
Just remember to not make your team TOO good, if you get bored after winning the cup.
I know how tempting it is and how easy it is to steal other teams good players(most of them anyways!)

 

[hockey17jp]

Hey guys, offseason report is coming soon for my Blue Jackets GM.

I was wondering if any of you guys edit prospects and how you do it. I tried editing guys like Yakupov and Galchenyuk but it didn't work. When I got Dougie Hamilton in last years draft, he has only B- potential. I know I gave him more than that when I edited him. Why didn't it carry over?

Haha, thanks. My team isn't TOO good yet, our bottom six could use improvement, and soon I will have young rookies replacing veterans.

You probably didn't save and then load up the roster after editing the rookies.

Not sure. I wouldn't do it... I have Iginla in another fantasy league. And as far as Iginla's point production its better then Tangradi and Kunitz. Kunitz might hit 50 points next year and Tangradi maybe 15-20. Iginla will probably score 40 goals next year playing with Hudler. And picks are good if your a rebuilding team.

Canucks Win Game 1 2-1 In OT; Islanders Lose Lecavalier To Injury After Hit From Behind
May 23, 2013

The Canucks took game 1 in controversial fashion last night after a devastating hit from behind on Islanders' captain Vincent Lecavalier by Canucks' captain Sidney Crosby ended up leading directly to the game-winning overtime goal by Martin St Louis. The Islanders were understandably outraged last night when the call went unpenalized and will be even more outraged to learn that there is no supplementary discipline coming for Sidney Crosby.

Game 2 starts at 7 PM eastern on Long Island in New York and it is expected to be an emotional game after the incident in game 1.

DEVILS FINISH 2ND IN DIVISION​

​

82GP - 45W - 23L - 14OTL - 104PTS (5th East)​

The New Jersey Devils set new records this season posting 14 overtime losses. The Devils had a great season, when its all said and done much of that would be thanks to new general manager Tom Renney. After he struggled in Anaheim for several years he comes to New Jersey and posts a 45 win season with 104 points. A career best for gm Tom Renney.

Mattias Tedenby stood out this season lighting the lamp 32 times this season for 2nd best on the Devils roster, behind Kovulchuk who netted 41 goals. Tedenby recorded 9 more goals then last season and 10 more points which is a great sign for Devils fans. Adam Larsson also had a career high recording 11 goals this season. 9 of which came on the power play.

'This was a great season! I'm ecstatic that we made the playoffs, considering I came here with a very open mind about finishing in the bottom 5. I look forward to facing the Panthers in the first round.'- Tom Renney

[FIELDSET="ROUND 1 PREVIEW"]
Florida don't have any considerably flashy players, however rookie Jonathan Huberdeau did have one heck of an NHL debut recording 79 points in 82 games and is likely to be the Calder Trophy winner.

Florida also signed UFA Jonas Hiller during the off season and helped carry his new team to the playoffs recording 35 wins and a 2.53GAA and .914SV%.

New Jersey will be starting the playoffs without defenseman Henrik Tallinder who had 19 points all season in 81 games and went down with an MCL Sprain in the last game of the season. He will likely be out until the third round of the playoffs if the Devils make it that far. Along with Tallinder, is second line center Jacob Josefson who is suffering from a concussion and will likely miss the whole playoffs as well.

It would work!! just make sure you have some scrub(cheap) players as "dressed" but not in the lineup and you should be ok with the cap!!

Yaks wanted a 5yr $7.5million deal. I got him to accept an 6-8 yr $7.00 million deal. I got RNH and Dougie Hamilton to sign similar deals. Those are 3 of my top guys (I got the #1 pick in 2013).I've got a lethal top line.
