Thanks, your answer makes sense. I'm not so much interested in "beating" the game as I am in understanding the mechanics. I've played a lot of EHM and just want to make sure that I understand the differences.

I have just a few other questions, I think they got buried on the previous page, so let me re-post them quickly:

Just starting out playing the game in historical mode. Few quick questions.

1. Will teams change names/relocate at appropriate times? This also means I would need to add new jerseys at that time, right?

2. Is there a reason not to hire as many assistant coaches/scouts as possible given the budget? AI teams seem to stick with 1 assistant and 4 coaches.

3. The salary cap is set to 70mil (the 2013-14 value I think) while most teams budgets are around 20mil (this is 2005-2006). Does the cap change or does it stay static? And do player salary expectations go up over time or not?

4. I understand that the 16/17 year olds get created and dumped into free agency to be drafted a year later. When scouting them should I set the scout to NHL or free agents or just check the draft box?

Thanks for the answers, so far the game is awesome.
