Also, something very interesting happened this season. In real life, Phil Esposito retired at the end of the 1980-81 season. Well, in this universe, he went past that, and surpassed Gordie Howe's record for most goals in the process.

Wow, this is cool! How did you set this up? Did you start a historical game and then just manually expanded the league? I thought you could only start with real players if your game starts in 2019-20.

yeah,me too, I'm surprised that there are real players in this historical game. how do you do that?

on another note, really cool concept! though both the stingers and bulls missed the Mark in the recent draft (ouch, missing out on macinnis, andreychuck, mike vernon AND Steve Thomas??)

also, since Dallas has the bulls, does that means the north stars will stay in Minnesota? and what will happen to Quebec and winnipeg if the Rockies stay in Colorado?

can't wait to find out!

I did exactly that. I set up a historical game and turned off automatic evolution.
