So it's the players "expectation" of his role on the team? I like that...i don't want the game to tell me he's a first liner or depth player, that's my job or the (AI) coach to access but for the player to say he's expecting a Star Player Role (1st line minutes, and PP), to be a depth or fringe player etc is great.

Agreed. Will this be something that is included in scouting profiles to help gain an insight in to his mentality?
Presumably such stuff is flexible regarding who the team in question is? I'm thinking about how a guy who is a back-up goalie like Jonathan Bernier would expect to be a starter for Columbus but does not expect to displace Jonathan Quick in LA. This works the other way as well. Someone who is the go to franchise player for the Panthers shouldn't always expect the same profile if they are traded to the Wings.
I know this is a huge requirement and I don't expect you to be able to do it in v1 but the psychology of a player should be a factor in his success in different roles at different franchises. Some players should want the limelight and be desperate to play in a big market whereas others might struggle under the pressure that goes with being, say, a Leafs player. Some guys might perform better as one of a host of stars on Broadway compared to the pressure of being expected to carry a franchise as the top dog. There should be some players who lack ambition to be a top liner and some whose faith in their own ability exceeds their actual skills. Add to this the fact that some players might do a Jeff Carter and sulk about being traded to a struggling franchise.
