AHL management issue--help needed!!!

LocNar1000 · 03-08-2020, 04:01 AM

So I'm managing/coaching the AHL Syracuse Crunch in my first season playing the game, ever. I've made it to the semi-finals, but out of nowhere, my parent team the Lighting have called up about 6 players despite not making it to the playoffs and having no use for them in the offseason.

Anyway, I no longer have enough players to start the next game. I don't seem to have a way to acquire any more, and therefore I'm not able to play the next game, I'm stuck-- does anyone know what I might be able to do?

Helps appreciated. Thanks.

i dont know but you need to manage a kind of dept chart during your season with AHL contract only player, have you check if some player are in the ECHL ?

When you're short of players, you can sign new ones without the normal delay, including players already contracted to lower-level teams. For the AHL, the best option is probably the ECHL; the easiest way to find those guys is just go to the player search screen and set the filter to "Signable" and the league filter to ECHL (or don't use a league filter, but that may give you a lot of players who technically can sign with you, but may not want to.)
