Goalies Nut Takes Over - A Team of All Goalies
 

First off, I'm not sure how this will work out, but I figured it was worth a try.

After randomly choosing a team (sorry to all Jets fans out there) I promptly traded away every non goalie player for a goalie.

Items of Note:

1. I took two goalies and maxed them out. Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec - congratulations. You are now the two best goalies to ever play professional hockey. This is meant so that we can at least have a minuscule chance on the ice.

2. Both Pavelec and Hutchinson - as well as Juuse Saros - had their contracts modified to $15 million per year for 14 years, as a way to stay over the floor.

3. Injuries are off.

4. Cannot be fired is on (for obvious reasons.)

5. I may not draft a player that is not a goalie, nor may I sign a non-goalie.

6. I will watch all my games and post updates for every one.

7. If and when Hutchinson/Pavelec decline/retire, they will be replaced by a new maxed out goalie.

8. If I have issues with all 23 players listed as goalies, I will change their position listing to the position they play on my lines - but I will continue to refer to them as goalies.


With that said - here goes nothing. Nothing, as in our projected win total.

I'm not even sure why I bothered listing the shootout spots, as the chances of us reaching a shootout are roughly the chances of pigs flying - and my money would be on the pigs.

I left the tactics at their defaults, considering I highly doubt that they will matter in the grand scheme of things.


The New Winnipeg Jets GM:

Yeah... I don't think he'll lead them to NHL glory whatsoever. I doubt he'd even lead a team of 5 year olds to glory.

And Finally - the Prospects

More goalies - because you can never have enough goalies.

I'll check in for our first preseason game.

Well, while loading my first game - I got a crash.

I might have to change their positions.

Well, I guess this won't work. Every time the other team scores, the game crashes. I'll look for a workaround, but I don't think there is one.

Sorry. :crying:

That sucks, i was looking forward to reading about this. It is something i would have tried. Maybe I will try something like that in OOTP but with Catchers. Create a team of C's like Yogi, Zeile, Howard, etc

I might try something similar but with no goalies instead of all goalies, or like you said something in OOTP.
