If a persons color is GREEN for something, it means they'll do the best in that area. It doesn't mean they can't scout others, they'll just be less efficient at it.

Other thing, same subject; it seems that Junior teams let go rights of young players too soon when they reach NHL.
What we have here is a misunderstanding I think. CHL Players (and especially draft picks) rarely play their 20th (and overage) year in the CHL - which is where you have Kaliyev right now. If a pick is signed, they will 99/100 end up on the AHL team when they are 20. Is there some exceptions? Sure. But not many. A player will stay if they aren't signed to a contract, but the team may still drop him if they value someone else, or you could lose your rights to him as well.

I go back to Hockey Simulators 1 and two. But really don't have a lot of expierence with hockey games. Anyways lets get the questions going.

1. How many Coaches can I have? What should I be looking for as far as attributes are concerned.

2. How many scouts can I have?

3. Just kind of curious what everybody does on their first day before you hit the next day button.

1. You can have as many coaches as you want, but In reality, you just need them to fill the positions. It's pretty clear if you look at the Staff page what they need to be good at as well, and you can search for just Assistants and use the drop down box to filter for coaching stats. Guy who are Excellent or Very Good are probably the guys you want to hire.

2. As many as you want/can afford! It's important to cover a variety of leagues and regions to get good reads on players.

3. Staffing. Scouting. Free Agents. Unless you start July 1st and want to do an expansion.
