    Jack Adams. Ugly f*****, but he seems like he's got something between the ears. Praises Seider too, "Stud" he says.

    Say about Mackel what you will, I'll let him speak for himself... But I agree with him. I just dont see the same overwhelming appeal there is for Zadina, that everyone seems to see. Honestly, I'm not judging him fully by the practice sequence posted, but he looked average and even kind of lackadaisical in that. I almost feel like we have another Mrazek on our hands. Everyone will praise his potential and raw ability for years, but it will never show up on the scoreboard. I will say he sucks and those who disagree will say just wait. Then he''ll either get it together or be traded. Seider

    I assume Arab singles is there because I have dating apps on my phone like tinder. Arab because I read about politics? IDK That said I am in need of a trustworthy eunuch if you know any Yeah I would say this... Def buy while it's on sale. $4.99 is an incredible price. I was completely overwhelmed by the game at first and didn't really seriously get into it until 2 years after buying it, when I found the time. There are a lot of aspects to the game (which makes it fun) so it has sort of a large learning curve. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions setting the game up properly, this is important, or if you have any strategy questions. There is a ton of strategy to game from hiring staff, to coaching styles, etc. I had to learn a lot of the strategy stuff through trial and error on my own and wasted a lot of time Fing around. For example hiring assistant coaches with the same coaching philosophy and line matching tactics as your HC will greatly improve your teams performance I've found. So its often smarter to avoid the best assistant coaches and instead hire someone who will compliment your head coach. That took me a ton of time in game to figure out. The game has a ton interesting and seemingly very realistic features like this.

    2019 Offseason Rebuild Thread, Pt. 2 - What's the Yzerplan?

    Not sure how much Lehner is asking, but he said he definitely wants to stay with the Islanders. Maybe not enough to take a paycut.

    Completely off topic, but normally I get ads for like Staples or Arab Singles on the side-bar of this website, totally used to that... But now I'm getting ads for "Pee-Proof Underwear" and I'm wondering what I clicked on that makes google think I piss myself on a consistent basis.

    Pretty sure the Isles wanna chase Bob. Kinda s***ty considering the season Lehner had for them, especially with the comeback and sobriety and everything. f*** the Isles they'll never be good.

    No, there is a secondary company called "The Blue Line", or TBL for short, that makes rosters. You have to download or subscribe to their roster after the fact which will provide player names, accurate stats, and everything you need. Fans seem to have universally decided that TBL is the best roster provider, and I would agree. They spend an ungodly amount of time developing player stats and rosters... so when you scout some random Ukranian 17 year old your first season it's actually pretty accurate to that specific player. They have fans around the globe who help contribute to the player database. It's super deep. The only thing I don't like about the TBL roster is Bertuzzi usually ends up a career 3rd/4th liner. Other than that I think they nailed the current Wings to a T. Larkin is a beast in the game by age 25. The only thing I downloaded besides the TBL roster is face packs for staff and players. Basically a fan just compiled a huge database of photos so you have something to look at when you click on people. It's nice. If you buy the game through the Steam platform for PC you can just subscribe to these facepacks and rosters and they will automatically update your game as new things are added to it. It's super easy that way if you're not technically inclined.

    2019 Draft

    I think my very bold prediction was McIsaac will turn out better than both Zadina and Veleno. I'm sticking with that. Shut up you. McIsaac is a superb skater. Accelerates quickly backward and forward and has very good edgework and agility. I would say his skating is one of his key strengths. Definitely not a weakness. He's a very fast Dman. McIsaac is actually a lot like Seider (probably why I like them both) he's just smaller and his slap shot isn't that great. They both are fast, play an excellent transition game, and have high IQ's in both ends. I give a slight edge to McIsaac offensively as he's shown he can run a PP and we haven't seen that yet from Seider... but probably will soon. McIsaac needs to lift and eat greasy cheeseburgers. Weight and strength are really the only things holding him back IMO.

    Oh s*** I didn't realize the summer sale is going on. If you're into the business side of hockey def get it for 5 bucks. Trades are hard. AI teams heavily favor elite players, and won't move on lesser players or lesser FA's until the big names are off the board. I like this because it seems super realistic. As the trade deadline approaches everyone is trying to force players like Doughty out of LA and everyone tells you to basically F off when u offer them Nielsen lol. But likewise I was able to snag multiple 2nd tier UFAs during free agency while the AI teams were bid warring over the top FA's like Panarin. Trades also really depend on how a player is doing. If Athanasiou has 20 pts going into the trade deadline you might get a two 4ths offered. If he has 50 pts you might get a 1st plus more offered. Generally I like the trading ALOT. Often times you're left feeling wow I got a steal for this guy, and other times I can't believe I was only able to get that. For example I traded Puempel for two 2nds after a 50 pt season playing with Larkin. But only got a 3rd for Green when he was having a low season at 36. My only complaints about the game: It's too easy to rope former head coaches into being assistant coaches. And the salary cap never changes. Like right now my HC is Glen Hanlon. My assistants are Bruce Cassidy, Dan Bylsma, Randy Carlyle, Clint Malarchuk, and Joel Quennville. Ridiculously stacked bench.

    I think the game is like $10 bucks. Takes up very little memory on ur pc and doesnt need super graphics or anything. It's basically NHL 19 GM Mode on steroids and it's super addictive if you're into that. Just have to download the TBL rosters after buying. It's very causal as most of the time ur just simulating days until u have to make roster decisions. I like to play while I watch Wings games too. I think I'm in 2023 season right now and I just hiired Henrik Lundqvist to be my Swedish scout. It's an interesting game.

    In terms of depth chart? No. But Cholo was a late first, and the other two were seconds. Not as much hype. This feels like we got a Zadina level defensive prospect.

    I play eastside hockey manager on my laptop when I have to fly (highly recommend this game btw) I drafted Byfield in 2020 at like 2 overall and he made my roster and scored like 50 pts his first season. I highly recommend this player.

    Would love to have Nosek back. Cheap player. Gives 100% every shift. Really like how he's played for Vegas. All he needs to do is hold down the 4th line and he does that exceptionally well.
