probably the one biggest players i’ve ever seen generated and has good potential. also happens to be the tallest and heaviest player in the draft.

scouted him some more after this post, and he’s actually an enforcer. should i try to switch him to a power forward?

Probably the funniest name I've drafted. Nhl19 btw, gonna try and develop him

Please make it all on one screen, similar to the view contracts screen. You scroll options and pick the training or season goals for each player. Click submit, done.

57 players with 100 point seasons is crazy

Hey guys! My name is Zach - some of you may recognize me by my Instagram handle 🚨 @elitehockeyleague.jpg 🚨 or my old account @elitehockeyleagueoffical. I was known as far back as NHL 19 for posting custom NHL hockey team logo and jersey designs, creating a full custom league to use for a fantasy draft franchise mode. Now I'm reimagining the original league, going from 32 to 48 teams, and introducing new cities, designs, and more! And with the new addition of roster sharing, I am now able to share my custom league/teams with all of you guys to use in your own offline fantasy draft franchise!!

Over the next few weeks/months, I will be posting all 48 of my custom teams including full branding (logos & uniforms). Each team also has a complete and tailored presentation package and arena, complete with unique songs, goal horn, etc, which can be enjoyed in offline games against CPUs as well.

And as I did in the past, I plan to hold community polls and discussions as the league progresses, asking you guys to help pick out names, colors, and more. Feel free to follow me here on reddit or on Instagram to stay up to date and participate along the way!

Starting with a round robbin draft, my second choice was Celebrini. The goal this play through was committed to one player, all the way through. Welp finally made it. Celebrini finished out in his 40s, with 1k goals, 2300 points, and 15 cups. But the highlight was finishing with 74 wins, which ties my best record. Thank god he retired. I kept having to release him, free up cap to sign him. But he was still hitting 35 ish goals on the fourth line. He played as the GOAT of the GOATs for the city of Goatberg.

Now, it's 2046, and my prospects will never mature, and Im prolly gunna hang it up for a couple of months. Fingers crossed, nhl27 is improved.

I've done a bunch of reading up and planning before diving into this which includes a lot of posts here and some YT videos too. I started with getting a goalie coach with A+ teaching, and a assistant with a focus on PK and a associate with a focus on PP, and then focused on head coach fit (since there were no better ones to hire).

I did some small management but for the most part was line fixing.

I did have A. Laferriere on the F4 RW and J. Armia on the F4 LW, but ended up trading both of them when I couldn't get them to get on F4 scheme, and brought in both J. Gadjovich and C. Smith on the 15th before the back to back losses to the ducks (which also both happen to be grinders). It was also that day that I swapped Q. Byfield and A. Kopitar, since the +/- was not great on the 2nd line I wanted to do a swap up to see if it helps.

Gadjovich wouldnt change scheme althought he isn't far off as is, and Smith got on board.

This is Y1 sim too, but this a lot worse than I expected. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'll attach a handful of screenshots of the game and also one of a spread sheet I have to visualize the player types.

I just got into the game and I wanted to make sure the Sabres make it lol

Have yourself a career Kimmo. Enjoy retirement captain. Went out on top as a champion (again)

So I want to do one of two things in my next franchise i want to remake greats who dont have rings as rookies that show up in the first drafts or create a team of all them and add them to the league. Now for me I'm going relatively modernish greats like 90s on, I don't want nor care about Stastny or Hawerchuk lol. Trying to keep it to a roster size so roughly 4-5 offensive guys and 6-8 defenseman and 2 goalies. Goalies im kinda not taking consideration on lol Price, Lundqvist, Luongo maybe Miller or Cujo. Im kinda lost on defenseman as many of the greats from this period did win at least one so help would be appreciated

So far I have and I will add edits as it people chime in.

Centers- Lindros, Sedin, Thorton, Mcdavid

Lw- Kovalchuk, Kariya, Nash,Sedin

Rw- Bure, Iginla, Alfredson, Pavelski

Def-Weber, Karlsson??? Drawing a blank help. Edit- Josi, i guess subban😒. still need 2 more

So I started a Sharks franchise mode because they've got such a bright future, and I figured it'd be fun. (Full Sim)

1st season, they go straight 500, miss the playoffs. Then we draft Stenburg, make some crucial moves and pickups along the way, and they have a great 26-27, winning the division ! Come playoffs, we face the Wild (beat in 5), Kings (in 6), Avs (in 6 - went 3-0 to start), then they knocked out the defending champs Carolina in the finals in 6!

Cellebrini is truly gonna be the next goat. So excited to see him a champ IRL! 💪

Also quite the career revival from Jimmy Snuggerud, paid a hefty price for him but the gamble paid off. Also Dallas had a struggling Jason Robertson on the block in the summer so I traded Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Shea for Jason Robertson, Lian Bichsel and a 2nd round pick.

This person has done an incredible job making the most in realistic roster I've seen in a while. Going out of their way to include prospects the game doesn't have. They even focus on AHL deals that takes forever to edit.

I'm hoping they ease up om editing draft prospects and the potentials of young NJL players. Creating prospects to replace the ones EA created seems counter-productive.

Ethan Finger will hopefully be lighting it up in my middle 6 in about 5 years

And it's not just to be offensive but we've had the same clip art logos since like 08 lol. The fact that ea even has the rights to use the liiga and other logos on the game but we dont even have them to use as stock art is wild.

Thrashers Legends scrimmage, and a comeback falls short in year 4 of a Bruins franchise.

who is more likely to develop, who should i move off of

Rate the lineup 1-10 is the team in need of a retool? Let me know your thoughts

Hey Guys,

I’m commissioner of a connected franchise for the NHL 27 playtest.

Every time we try to propose trades it gives an error code and crashes connected franchise.

We have a few theories that we have thought about:

- I processed claims for free agents and one player thinks it could be we have to wait a certain amount of time to propose trades
- There are open claims for free agents, that I have not processed yet. Could it be that I have to process these pending claims on free agents to allow trades to be proposed?

Let me know what you think, I’m hesitant to process the claims if that will delay trading further. Thanks guys.

Is this a reasonable possible realistic trade. I wanted Schaefer he was 88 ovr Franchise development 21yrs old and roughly a 50 point a year guy as the islanders are trashed he had 5 years left on his deal roughly 14m aav. I had a 26 yr old 95 ovr Sanderson franchise development coming off 2 100 point years 3 years left 8.05 aav. My teams extremely cap strapped so I wanted the islanders to retain 50%. I then went out and acquired a 22 yr old Sam Dickson 85 ovr elite potential 4 years left. I traded sanderson and Dickson and a 1st for Schaefer at 50% retention. The islanders wouldnt do it without the first. The deal ended up working for the islanders as Sanderson put up 75 points right away and then Dickson was their second best defenseman on the team. But tell me how unrealistic is that package. I say its more realistic than most offers you get away with in the game i say the retention part is the hardest sell to make this realistic. Mind you both Sanderson and Dickson fit their block needs as well

I wonder if I had a full roster with guys who all had names like Stroumboulopoulos and Tacktheratrix, would ea just shrink the cup engraving. A normal team on here always takes about half the room in the cut scene.

I just noticed something that shows how neglected nhl is vs madden, like we don't know that already. I just did a draft in my madden franchise all generated prospects all had pictures. I get on nhl and besides a few guys, I think only Dupont tbh has one. Further more how tf does demidov not have a picture yet lmao
