A few things to report here:
My iMac (hard drive) crashed on me so the FHM game is gone, and unfortunately - I don't think I am going to re-install the current version of the game.
I played my Islanders game through October, and finished with a 4-7-1 record. Things turned around in November with a 8-4-2. On November 29, I got an email that 'Bigby Wolf's job was in jeopardy unless he could turn things around'
On about December 7, after posting two losses in the month - I traded Holtby and a minor leaguer to Tampa for Ben Bishop. I also traded Lubomir Vishnovsky (6.0a) and his $6million contract to the Flames for a 7.5 potential winger. I was fired the next day.
My December 1 Owner Confidence update said that the team was doing well but the 'long term vision' was poor and that I needed to turn things around. This makes zero sense to me. Did I trade away too many minor leaguers, draft picks...? At the time of my firing, I was 1 game below .500 and only 3 points out of the playoffs. None of my starting players were rated below 7. Financially, my budget was fine - there were still millions of dollars available.
Frustrating
