How did Quebec do against their traditional rivals - Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo & Boston.

Cheers
Versus Toronto:
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?

Expansion needs to be triggered July 1 every year, it's something to do with the inner workings of the game that that is the date things "turn over" and it's on that day. The expansion draft is July 2.

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.

to me not having selections in the that draft makes it's that much more exciting and difficult. As we know, most likely if the NHL expands the new teams will have picks in the draft prior to playing a season - although that is typically a huge fight amongst the league where exactly - but so far it's not something I've missed in the this at all in FHM2. It still allows you to sign some top free agents in that Free Agency if you choose to spend the dough...just know, that will be costly.

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

I checked the Hockeydb for the NHL 1970 Amateur Draft and Buffalo and Vancouver drafted No. 1 and No. 2 and selected Gilbert Perreault and Dale Tallon who probably were the teams best players during the teams first year of play.

I'm at work, so I can't see the actual ratings, but I can say Talbot is rated in the database in the neighborhood of 20-30th best amongst NHL netminders. That would put him in a category as a top-flight backup, with the ability to be a starter and not look out of place, or as a 1B type. He's got a little bit of potential to grow into as well, as I recall. His performance this coming season could merit a ratings bump--but I'm not huge on large adjustments for small sample sizes.

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?
