I would like to see existing issues get fixed, such as:
- U Sports OUA East "Pre-Playoffs" not happening.
- NHL players on International Duty do not count against the cap, causing massive player recall during the olympics and a massive waiver dump after the olympics.
And real roster / league rules being implemented, among other things:
- Actual NHL waiver rules.
Quote:
|
A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, OR has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b) (Despite the CBA reference saying 30 days AND 10 games, the rule is actually 30 days OR 10 games)

- NHL teams having LTIR and regular IR, with ony LTIR counting against the cap.
- Minor pro leagues utilizing "Veteran" status instead of the U26 player rule.
- CHL (Canada) teams having an underage player limit (4).
- CHL (Canada) having appropriate waiver system.
- CHL (Canada) having a more realistic affiliate system.
- North American youth leagues being actual leagues, not generic. With Elite Prospects on board this maybe wouldn't be so hard?
- North American U16 leagues.
- Players in Canada being generated on realistic teams based on their birth city for provinces with more than 1 U15/18 league.
I would also love to see better relative talent ratings for CHL leagues. Currently players are being drafted at 4.0-5.0 relative talent in the OHL / QMJHL and even worse in the WHL (because they are a year younger). Players in the CHL are 3 stars with a relative rating of only 6.2 at times. I also believe this makes it difficult for the AI to work properly for these leagues.
And one last thing:
- Playable Jr.A leagues in North America. We already have college, so next step is junior!
