For my BAP - Cleary for Grabovski or something and Filppula for another AHL player I don't remember the name of >.<

My friend had this happen:
Hossa to Montreal for Andre Kostitsyin and Price

Lol that would be a very nice trade for us

Have you guys noticed that you can cheat teams out of a ton of draft picks by finding equalish players to swap back and forth, adding one of their draft picks each time? For example:

Hossa for Gaborik, 2nd & 3rd,
Gaborik, 2nd, 3rd for Hossa & 1st

On and on til you get all of their draft picks!

It's awesome.

Lol yeah I did that in 07 - but without the players.. My first for their 1,2,3

Through a bunch of free agent signings and trades in NHL 08, I ended up with the following lines:

Ovechkin - Datsyuk - Zetterberg
Crosby - Franzen - Alfredsson
Cleary - Filppula - Kuusela
Maltby - Draper - Drake


Lidstrom - Rafalski
Kronwall - Green
Lebda - Chelios

Brodeur
Weekes

Ironically, after I spent awhile getting all of this done it was so easy to win with this lineup that I lost interest in it.

It's trade deadline and

Samuelsson traded for NASLUND
Hossa traded for Alfredsson

[skacore]

Kopecky, Lilja for Prust, Vandermeer

[Anomalously]

Not a trade, but if I play BAP, the Wings sign Isbister every single time (4 of 4).

[Duck Guy]

Playing Dynasty with PHI and made the playoffs but got eliminated by rangers in ECF in 7 games.. then satrted the next season signed sundin (and others) but then i traded Sundin for Gaborik

[Duck Guy]

just traded Sakic (signed in offseason) + 1st Round Pick for AO

[Wings_Fan_In_Exile]

In my BaP I saw that Washington traded AO for Vanek and two lesser players... ? WTF man.

[Legendary D In 03]

Just traded some no-name high-potential free agent signing who was like a 71 for Brunnstrom.

[timothy1997]

Sammy for Shanny

Maltby for Naslund

Also acquired lecaviler & fedorov.

I personally like to lower salary by cutting a player, sign them for a lower contract, then 1 year lower extenstion, then cut them again, sign them at a lower rate, then 1 yr extenstion...etc, etc.

I got lidstrom from $7.3 million to just over $4 million. The moves work as long as you dont piss them off where they refuse to sign (i recommend saving before tweaking the salary). These moves work well in making sure you are under the salary cap.

You can cut players in NHL 09?

[timothy1997]

You can cut players in NHL 09?

I can on the PS2 version. When you are in the dynasty mode, go to contracts and then release player to free agency.

[T-Ruff]

Started a dynasty to just to the GM moves and such

Osgood + Draper for Price

Lilja and Conklin for Vlasic
-> they proceed to put Conklin and Boucher on waivers, I claim them both
Turn around and trade Boucher + Samuelsson for Michalek
-> they put Boucher back on waivers, I claim him back

I forget most of the first year but I did end up with Samuelsson back as a UFA, losing Hossa and almost Zetterberg, and Lidstrom to retirement

Rafalski straight up for Shea Weber, who was rated higher and on a cheaper deal

traded Samuelsson (81) and Scuderi (74) as a salary dump to the Lightning for Stamkos and then turned around and traded Stamkos and a 1st for Kopitar because he was on a 5 year deal for 1.5 million or something

Then traded Michalek (84) + 2nd for Dustin Brown (87) who had the same amount of years left but about .7 million less on the cap

I traded Stafford (83) and Knuble (81) (38 years old) striaght up for Mike Richards (90) ?? who was on a long term contract making less than both of them combined

signed Versteeg in the off season at some point growing from 74 to 80 in a year or two,

Traded Stuart for the 7th overall pick when it was clear Ericsson was going to be on the roster the next season and to make room for Weber's raise

Ericsson (79) wouldn't take my money so he went to UFA and I signed Schenn for cheaper and longer than Ericsson wanted

Lines currently are

Zetterberg(91)-Datsyuk(92)-Pominville(83)
Brown(88)-M.Richards(90)-Kopitar(90)
Hudler(82)-Franzen(81)-Versteeg(80)
7th overall pick(75)-Filppula(80)-Helm(79)

Vlasic(85)-Weber(89)
Edler(84)-Kronwall(80)
Kindl(79)-Schenn(81)

Price (89)
Howard (76)

the team taht won the cup in 2010-11..... all on a 62 million cap ... crazy game

[The Mule]

Not a trade, but if I play BAP, the Wings sign Isbister every single time (4 of 4).

The exact same things happens in my game.

[wingsdiehard13]

I'm in my first season and I'm playing every game so it's taking a while, but...

I traded Lilja, Sammy, and a goalie who I picked up on waivers(77ovr) for Marian Gaborik. After I made that trade the CPU automatically sent Filppula down to the minors so I recalled him and sent down Holmstrom because I need the cap space. That turns my lines into...

Cleary-Datsyuk-Hossa
Franzen-Zetterberg-Gaborik
Helm-Filppula-Hudler
Maltby-Draper-Kopecky

Stuart-Lidstrom
Rafalski-Kronwall
Chelios/Lebda-Ericcson

Osgood
Conklin

I'll have to lose at least one of my superstars in the off-season(probably Gaborik) but I am using him as a half a season rental.

[Dimaline312000]

Just recently Patrice Burgeron to Anaheim for Phoneix's 2nd Round Draft Pick ( Which just happend to be first over all) and Anaheim's 2nd Round Draft Pick. I was really pleased with that one; got some good young talent for those picks that I think I can bring up after this season I'm playing now.

[dobbles]

figured i would throw this in here instead of creating a new thread.

do any of you guys keep all the wings players? usually when i do a dynasty, i keep all the guys until they retire. this year i did trade stuart because he made me mad, but usually i like to keep everyone; even the guys i don't necessarily like such as kopecky. wasn't sure if i was the only one like this?

[anthonyn66]

rafalski for luca sbisa (2nd year, rafalski got worse)
kindl for meszaros

signed Krejci off of free agency

and yeah i usually stick with the Red Wings players, unless they are getting worse
I'm playing PC version (which sucks btw) with a custom roster update, and it makes
gameplay more realistic.

Zetterberg 84-Datsyuk 87-Cleary 80
Franzen 79-Krejci 81-Williams 79
Helm 75-Abdelkader 77-Bertuzzi 78
Leino 74-Filppula 74-Vykoukal (draft) 73

Lidstrom 82-Kronwall 81
Stuart 79-Sbisa 78
Meszaros 76-Lebda 73

Ozzie 85
Larsson 84
