    Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

    Played the Stars next in Dallas after simming... What a horrible game...

    Stars scored 5 goals in the first two periods with only one being scored by the Yotes in that time. I pulled Dubnyk and put in Smith and he shut them down while we scored once more before the end of the 2nd.

    3rd period is opened with another goal by Dallas, . I then amass a terrific comeback by scoring 4 goals in 18 minutes, the last one being short-handed - because of a BS boarding call. Then the Stars score 2 more goals in the next 90 seconds to win 8-6... Sometimes the CPU really grinds my gears.

      Did you trade at all?

        29-14-3 with the Preds so far. Scoring isn't coming at all, but Rinne amd the defense are spectacular right now.

        I needed more goal support, so I made a trade:

        To Edmonton:
        C Colin Wilson
        3 Green star goalie prospect
        2016 4th round pick
        To Nashville:
        RW Nail Yakupov
        2016 6th round pick

        Even Yakupov hasn't helped much, he only has two goals and two assists in 10 games on the first line. He's only boosted the powerplay from 27th to 24th, and even the PK has gone down to 15th.

        I'm gonna try to get to the trade deadline, which is about a month away. Hopefully I can get something for my offense and defense. Any ideas?

          Nope. Hardest part about doing a Be a GM with your team is you never want to actually trade anyone. I might at the deadline though.

            The Devils hit the crap out of us and beat us 4-2, we totally out played them too. They injure former Devil, Patrik Elias and Patrik Berglund. We get to play them at home next and even with Ryan Reeves out, we are going to be out for blood!

                Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

                We finished the first season of my Yotes Be a GM with a 35-39-8 record. We really tailed off from our 19-9-2 start (that's a 16-30-6 drop off folks).

                Because of the slide, at the deadline I dealt Lauri Korpikoski, Martin Erat, David Schlemko, Mark Visentin, a collection of picks (three 1st rounders, 2 seconds, 2 thirds), and a handful of prospects (I managed to hang onto Perlini, Domi and Samuelsson though) to obtain Jeff Skinner, Ondrej Palat and Filip Forsberg. I then flipped Palat and a 4th for Nazem Kadri. Trying to build a contender for the next few years.

                At the end of the season Shane Doan retired, I expected it but it's still unfortunate - and highly unlikely in real life. Also, the Lightning won the Stanley Cup on the back of Stamkos who put up 67 goals in the regular season.

                In the draft we had the 4th overall pick and selected a 2-Way Defenseman from Sweden, Oliver Kylington. We then used or next five picks on prospects that all have NHL potential (however, I don't remember their names).

                In Free Agency, the big signing we had was for defenseman Alec Martinez (2yr for $8.250M total). We also shored up our third line with Danny Heatley (2yr for $6.000M total).

                First game of the year we won 6-1 over Washington, it was a terrifc effort offensively as 6 different Coyotes scored - including new signee Heatley kicking off the event.

                Here's my lineup with current overalls;

                  Great lineup ASUBoy93. Looks like you'll be a perennial playoff contender in the years to come, as you have a great core in place already!

                    Nice to see Tampa Bay win the Cup! I still miss goalie Ben Bishop!

                      @hockeyfanatic seems pretty sickening! What's your record so far?! Getzlaf and Perry are TEARING it up for you I guess!

                        Finished year 2 with the Preds 51-24-7. Powerplay went from 22nd to 15th with my line changes, as well as my PK from 18th to 16th.

                        We actually won the Cup in the playoffs. We defeated our rivals from last year Chicago (also the Cup winners last year) in 7 games, then Minnesota in a suprising 5 games, then Vancouver in 7 games, and then Ottawa in 6 games to win the Cup.

                        In the draft, I drafted a Russian defenseman (72 overall, TWD, 4 yellow stars) 30th overall. I also attempted to trade C Paul Gaustad and G Pekka Rinne (Ik, its crazy but hes getting older) but Gaustad only had one year left on his deal and Rinne, well, let's just say he's too important at the moment.

                        Offseason updates will continue as time passes.

                          Congratulations on the Cup win! Another great draft choice, Nashville is really getting stocked up well with young defensemen. Great job on winning the cup, hope you can duplicate it!

                            We beat the Devils 3-2 at home, but we lose another player.
