So I was able to find a Eric Staal for 11k and 22 games. He was switched to the Dallas Stars but that doesn't bother me as I was not going to build a Carolina line. Big Staal will center my Flyers line! so I will give it a week hoping to find a cheap change team for the Flyers... but him being a Stars is helping me out at the moment as I am trying to win that Pacific division tournament.

This purchase completes my wishlist regarding my forwards... at least until I start going for...

It took a few games but I found out how to use Backstrom... you need to make very hard passes with him. It changes how to play as you need to start the passing action a bit earlier but now things are rolling with him! So I switched him to the Flames and he is now centering my first line between Tatar & Iginla.

I made a few acquisitions during the weekend: JVR, Jeff Skinner & Marty Brodeur. JVR is boosting my Flyers line seriously and I just need now to find someone better...

I wasn't planning to make any purchase two night ago but there were bargains all over!

First, Steve Mason, 85 goalie for 350pts with 10 games contract. And since I have lots of goalie consumables for some reason, I jacked him up to 89 for the next 5 games... That should shore up my goaltending situation until next week.

My team is a bit too grinder style with Ladd, McGinn, David Jones, Brandon Read, etc. so I am looking to add some snipers and finishers... and David Perron...

Here is what happened so far

I got 85 Blake Wheeler in a gold pack so decided to go for a Jets line. I got Bryan Little & Andrew Ladd for less than 1000pts each then added Antropov & Burmistrov when they were cheap and with many games on their contracts... I am still hoping for a cheap Evander Kane but I probably will pay the 10-15000pts for him soon if I don't catch a deal... Anyways, I am ready to go to war with Ladd - Little - Wheeler. It might not be the most sexy line but...

This is my first year playing HUT and I have to say I am enjoying it much more than I thought... and about 300% more than I ever enjoyed Madden Ultimate Team and much more than I enjoyed my NHL offline GM franchise earlier this year.
Here is the core of my starter team I used for a good 2 weeks gathering points on a daily basis

Higgins - Malhotra - Hansen
Abdulkader - Emmerton - Eaves
Tatar - Cormier - Machacek

Ellerby - Bieksa
De Haan - Donovan...
