I'm not really a fan of being locked into contending/rebuilding.

Stifles a lot of trades, IMO. 4 of the top 5 picks were already on rebuilding teams, as were a ton of the most valuable assets.

Although I suspect that was by design, there's so little trading to be done.

Agreed completely.

:bolts :flames :sens

Turris, Monahan, and The Triplets are all still around. Also got plenty of depth for people who need that.

Looking for picks and prospects. PM me.

The five contenders, five rebuilders design worked great in DD's auction game. I think the issue is the entry draft, which his game didn't have.

McDavid and Eichel are ruining GM games.

I think I'm going to start a petition to ban these two from all GM games. :sarcasm:

McDavid is just grossly overrated that's the problem, he's should be equal to crosby is to contenders, he's obviously the best but he isn't a guy that's going to singlehandidly win you a rebuilders cup

Put McDavid on an average rebuilding team and that team will win 99% of the Rebuilder Cups that are decided on the Polls -section. That 1% belongs to the GM who manages to build All-Star rebuilding team that has the next best 15 assets.

it's sad because the difference between McDavid and Eichel is as small as the difference between Crosby and ovechkin.

confirm...getting one of the best, if not the best arguably, passer in the league is pretty good at 50% off, and Burns is very good, Marleau had a 57 point season this year, and Marleau won't have to be a superstar on the team we already have :P burns will help the Defense a ton though, for sure.

Did someone say DD? I want to run an auction type game again but sadly I have no time to do so. Unless the ending times were at like 6 instead of the usual 10 I believe it was.

Oh and also I like the idea (something Top 6 and I discussed in length when coming up with gm game ideas a while back) of this game but having a snake draft with only 3 rounds is pretty flawed. I think that'll be reflected in the final standings to some degree for sure.

This has to be the first GM Game that i have been a part of that there seems to be no interest in studs like Bergeron, Krejci, and Chara. Not to mention only 3 legit offers on Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk...
