6-5 W 4-3 W Versus Montreal: 3-0 L 7-1 L Versus Buffalo: 4-1 L 6-2 L 2-1 W Versus Boston: 1-1 (preseason) 3-0 L 5-4 L And just for fun, their biggest losses of the season: 7-3 against Minnesota, 6-1 against Nashville, the aforementioned Montreal blowout, 7-2 against Calgary, 5-0 against San Jose and 6-0 against Colorado (consecutive games). They also failed to score a goal in four consecutive games - 5-0, 5-0, 4-0 and 3-0 losses in January. Yep, this was a pretty bad team! |

Seems pretty realistic; the Leafs can't even beat an expansion team!

Is that Cameron Talbot playing for Quebec the currently very hyped Cam Talbot?

Yep, that's the one. Although he wouldn't have had the same hype behind him in this sim... Keep in mind I actually simmed this past season before expanding ... no long-term injury to Lundqvist in the sim

That looks great Cole. Can't wait for this. On another note add me in for praise to you for being a solid liaison and buffer between the customers and dev team. I have stated my issues with the game and communication in the past. Your consistent updates and screenshots have contributed to my interest in this game being raised again. I really want you all to be successful and things like this are a step in the right direction.

Quick question Cole: At what point in the season does expansion occur after the first year? Will a new expansion after the first year get to draft junior players along with the other teams? Will they get to draft first, like with previous real life expansions? Thanks bud! Have you simmed future seasons you could share with us? Kinda like you did with the McDavid & Eichel sims it would be nice to see how many seasons before the teams become respectably competitive. Was it because of clever trading, free agents or great drafting?

The expansion teams don't get to draft before their first year, but after their first year they will draft, it will be based on position the same way as normal. I haven't actually simmed multiple seasons but I may give that a shot, it would be kind of neat to see how they turn out. |

Can you have expansion without a expansion draft?

There's no way to officially abolish it.. but... you can 'forfeit pick' and if you had human control of both teams I suppose you could just forfeit every single pick and essentially do the same thing as no draft.

While a little disappointing to hear that, all it means is just more work to take the expansion team to the top! If you're taking on an expansion project then you should be ready for the long road out of the cellar.

Possible, though that's an area worthy of real debate.
Still, it feels like his ratings are even lower than they should be even if he is overhyped. My thought is that he's certainly not the 4th best GK on an expansion team, given that hes a sure-fire 1st keeper in a non-expanded NHL this coming year. Does that seem reasonable? Additionally, if you think he's overhyped, the corollary to that is that the Rangers must have darn close to the best defensive corps in the whole NHL. I can't see any way he could do what he did last year otherwise, if he is actually overhyped unless the Rangers D is beyond lockdown levels. Though I am on the beta team, I haven't had the chance to play the game much due to my OOTP work. So I'm wondering if the Rangers D is actually rated very highly in game? I know that's your area, so figured it was worth asking here, in case you wanted to provide an insight into the ratings system No worries if not, given that I do many of the OOTP ratings, and all of them for all the international leagues, I know how hard it can be to explain the ratings matrix Last edited by Lukas Berger; 07-29-2015 at 03:25 AM. |

As far as being considered 4th best on an expansion team--at least pure ratings-wise--I wouldn't think that would happen. Who were the three above him (or direct me to the post that mentioned this)? The Rangers do indeed have a highly-rated defense. McDonagh and Girardi of course are among the top in the league in terms of defensive skill, and they're both minute eaters. Add in Staal and Klein, who are strong defensive players. So, that helps the goalies out a lot. We'll see how Talbot does this season. EDIT: And, keep in mind, I'm in the process of re-examining every player in the league, making subtle (or not so subtle) adjustments where needed. Talbot will get looked at in the coming weeks, along with every other guy under NHL contract.

Now I'm curious about the draft. If we have a Fictional League is it possible to adjust the draft date after July 1st which would allow expansion teams to take part in the draft? Or is the draft locked in on a specific date before July 1st for the sake of the game's structure and coding to keep problems from arising?
