First off, I hae stayed away from this game for a little while now and have seen some patches so I thought that I would give it a go again. I am going to runn a dynasty using the Avalanche, a team that I know very little about but will give it a shot. I'd also like to point out that I still have NO IDEA why this board doesn't have a dynasty thread but I will do one in the main forums.

At first look, this team could certainly compete. Jan Hejda and Erik Johnson will lead an unknown group of defense this season with solid NHLers like Andre Benoit and Corey Sarich playing a solid game helping in the defensive end of the ice. Goaltending will be key. Varlamov is a very solid goaltender and backup Giguere will play whenn needed and will do a solid job.

The forwards are lead by some standout youn players in Nathan McKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Paul Stastny and Mattt Duchene. Scoring shouldn't be an issue and guys like Jamie McGinn and Alex Tanguay will help with secondary scoring.

To start the season, going through training, Nathan McKinnon was seriously hurt, breaking his elbow and will miss the entire season. This is going to leave a massive hole in the forwards though I think we can get through with the 2 very solid lines that we have anyways. So, that being said, on with the show...
