Hello there again, everyone.
I have come up with (hopefully) a completely new idea. I will take control of the Colorado Avalanche. However, I will not be playing with them, ever. I will play out my GM career with the Avs AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters.
I will have a full team under contract at all times, and make signings and trades just as if I was controlling the NHL team.
I am not 100% sure how this is going to work yet, so the first season is going to be a test run more than likely. I will be simming regular season and stuff, then playing the key playoff games (elimination games, Calder Cup winning games), pending I make it to the playoffs in my first season.
I will give month by month reviews most likely. I am using the newest rosters provided by NHL 09, which aren't all that new, but it is only the AHL anyways.
