OT: NHL 20 Fantasy Draft Sim

[The Abusement Park]

Alright, I think I have an idea on how to do the teams for an NHL sim. I'm basically doing a fantasy draft season where I control all the teams and will draft the players in the exact same order they were in our draft and then sim 3 seasons and see who's team sims the best. Then I think we can have a "short term winner" and a "long term winner". I'll do no cap, no injuries, no trades, the lines provided in the rosters thread, and re sign players to the teams they were drafted to(basically keep them the same all 3 years).

I'm also just basing the owners teams represented on the random order the game gave me.

@Gatorbait19- Oilers(typical lol)

@m0pe- Blues

@The Abusement Park- Senators

@Tweaky- Sabres

@PAZ- Islanders

@UncleRisto- Blue Jackets

@Northern Avs Fan- Devils

@Murzu- Predators

@Pierce Hawthorne- Flames

@cgf- Ducks

@hi- Red Wings

@Lonewolfe2015- Lightning

Can you set up the fantasy draft to only have 12 teams? If so that's fantastic work and should work out perfectly for this.

No unfortunately. But I can control every team in the draft so the other 19 teams will be full of really really bad players. That's the best I can do with an NHL sim. I feel like since our teams will be some much better than the rest it kind of makes it as even as possible.

Edit: Actually I'm going to look and see if any Euro league has 12 teams real quick.

Don't hate the player hate the game

I think @Lonewolfe2015 ’s club probably wins the sim.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Alright. I'm done setting up the teams and league. I replaced the rest of the NHL teams with crappy European league teams that shouldn't cause any issue for our teams. I'm gonna take a mental break and will update the board either later tonight or tomorrow as I sim ahead.

With how NHL sim's I really don't know. Sometimes good teams just don't perform well and sometimes they dominate. This will be kind of an interesting experiment.

Also Kaprizov, Sorokin, and Romanov weren't in the game. So I created them as accurately as I can for someone who isn't able to watch KHL games.

What rating did you give Kaprizov?

I made Kaprizov 80/1, Sorokin 82, and Romanov 79.

Excited to hear the results. Thanks for organizing this!

Was it HFB that we did a NHL-based sim league from in the last? I was like in high school or something when we did that.

By the way, here's a random thought I had earlier. Speaking of EA NHL, if I did a big bracket of PS2 NHL soundtrack songs, I wonder if that would suck shit or could there be some interest?

I mean we’d obviously make fun of you for it....but that wouldn’t stop us from participating

Too new? A legend.

2002 to 09 is what I might include, so this just ekes in.

But this may just die on the drawing board here, cause I can't be bothered and no one cares.

Alright I'm starting up the sim right now. I'll be posting updates here shortly.
