How's your Franchise Mode Going?

When I relocated Arizona, for some reason Pavel Datsyuk appears on my roster. Am I missing something here? I would think that my roster should stay the same as it was previous to relocating the team.

Has anyone else experienced strange players on their roster after relocation?

Datsyuk's contract was traded to the Yotes during the draft so technically, he's on Arizona's roster.

Money99, Thank you so much! It was driving me crazy!

Your profits are going down because as the season progresses you are paying your players.

Bobby Ryan's out for 3 games due to a broken jaw sustained in a fight against Sam Bennett.
Bennett had flattened Karlsson when Ryan came flying in to defend his teammates good name (Eff you Burke! Truculance!)

With Ryan nursing a broken face, Jagr (early trade - thanks Panthers!) was moved up to the 1st line and Matt Pumpel (local boy, ESSEX, ON!) got the call from Binghamton.

Traveled to Alberta for games against the Flames and Oilers.
Got slaughtered in the Saddledome 6-2 but made up for it with a 5-2 win over Edmonton.
Pumpel scored his first goal of the season against the Oilers and Jagr got his first marker as a Senator. (score bug and commentators made a mention of this as well - nice touch!).

I'm going to be simming most of my games as I'm moving to Baltimore at season's end.
I wish I had more time to play all 82 games, but only have a few hours a week will seriously prevent that from happening.

EDIT: I know this has been mentioned before, but I wish EA would introduce some kind of league blog, similar to NHL2K10, to keep me informed of what's going on around the league.
I used to love scrolling through the various headlines from around the league to see what was going on.
It really helped immerse me within my franchise mode.

And with the new technology these consoles have, it's long overdue for a weekly wrap-up show with highlights and scores.
NFL2K4, a 13YO game had this on the PS2! THE PLAYSTATION 2!!!!
Saying it's not possible on the PS4 is nothing but lies and lipservice. Make it happen already.

Yesterday I started my Boston Bruins Franchise - I made some roster moves before I started - Dropped Chara, Krejci, Morrow and added Ekblad, Hanifin and Matthews

For my first season I'm simulating the NHL games but playing the AHL games in the hopes that I can more quickly develop my young players and control their progression - I have no idea at all if it's going to work, especially since my NHL team is 9-1-0 and my AHL is 3-2-1

I've achieved two Owner goals so far. Fans and owner are happy and all of my home games have sold out and my profit is hovering at about $77M so far.

I may actually be having more fun managing the team than playing the games
