Re: NHL 11 Screenshots, Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin

Any idea where teams players such as Hall and Seguin will be when the game is released? Will they still be on their junior teams or will they be in the NHL?

Generally players can't be placed on NHL rosters in games until they've played at least one game in the actual NHL, so it'd be cool if they could be placed in a CHL free agent pool or on a CHL team ready to be called up so we didn't have to wait for a roster update.

If they want it to be 100% authentic they need to make sure the fans in Oshawa are all drunk wearing flannel jackets.

Lol. It's a pizza company in Canada. Basically like a Domino's or Pizza Hut.

I wonder if we'll have a World Jr's tourney, possibly incorporated into an expanded BaGM or standalone CHL franchise mode?

I just made an discovery look at Iginla's shorts no logo,but look at Hall's shorts he has a ccm logo not something big but it will be sweet to select your hockey shorts brand I have a feeling maybe we will have better player and goalie customization

Dumb question: With the CHL teams being included in Be a GM...how would you go about replenishing your roster in the game?

Is there going to be some sort of recruiting that's done?

Theres no recruiting, the junior teams have a draft that they do much like the NHL

Bantam draft. That's what the CHL does in real life, or at least the WHL has a bantam draft.

They all have a draft but the Q and OHL have a midget draft. I'm guessing that's because the minor hockey is structured differently out west and they have no midget category, although I'm not sure.

Vikes1, since you mentionned recruiting, I'm guessing it's because you're only familiar with the college system. So you should also note that there are trades in the CHL. I'm fairly certain that trades are restricted within each individual league but someone else might be able to confirm. So it basically functions alot like the NHL with a draft and trades but there no free agency and players are limited to playing in the CHL from the age of 16 to 20.

There are no amateur/eligibility issues outside of the aforementioned age restrictions. Players can have endorsement deals (Crosby signed a massive deal with Reebok while he was still in Rimouski). They can even play in the NHL and be sent back down to their junior club afterwards. However, NHL CBA rules dictate that if a junior age player plays 10 games in a given season then that season counts as a year of NHL service which affects when that player can become a UFA so teams usually send youngsters down before they reach the 10 game mark or keep them all year.

Thanks for the answers guys.

A CHL GM mode sounds pretty interesting. It's gonna take me the first month of having the game just to figure out which mode I want to use.

Tell me about it!
I'm probably going to juggle multiple modes at the same time:

- BAP
- BAGM (CHL)
- BAGM (NHL)
- OTP

It's going to be a long winter.
