How realistic is to expect ability to arange pre-season games by myself, so that I can choose opponents ?
Cool feature would be friendly games with NT, for example week or two prior WC to play few practice matches.
Anniversary patch on NHL jerseys
More media pressure in hockey hotbeds like Montreal, Toronto, and not just NHL hotbeds, but euro ones as well, like Magnitogorsk, Bern, Tampere (just to name a few).
Spengler Cup
In team data screen, it would be cool to see little jerseys (with number on it) that are retired or honoured instead just of number and name of player.
