If EA can update the rosters from the NHL down, then is there any way they could update how players are ranked in upcoming drafts? As of right now, its Larsson Conz RNH and SC as 1 thru 4. Landeskog, Ty Rattie, Dougie Hamilton, and Ryan Murphy just to name a few, have jumped in the rankings, wouldn't it be nice to see the draft pan out the same way?
For example, I finished a year with the Oilers, who finished dead last in the league and had the first pick in the draft, along with the 17th due to trading Ales Hemsky and Andrew Cogliano to the Islanders for Frans Neilsen. I also took Nashville's 2nd round pick in a trade that sent Ladislav Smid to the Predators. As well as grabbing Columbus' 2nd for Gilbert Brule and Alex Plante.
So in my first 5 picks, I grabbed Larsson(1), Landeskog(17), Rattie(31), Brandon Saad(35), and Murphy(44).
5 picks in 2 rounds that are probably gone by 15-20 this year. I could see that maybe, maybe Landeskog falls for some unknown reason but Rattie and Saad are projected as top-10 and Murphy is up there as well.
EDIT: I also grabbed Nail Yakupov in the 6th round the next year after realizing he was still avaliable.
EDIT2: I kept Larsson and Landeskog in the NHL the next year, and Larsson improved from a 68 OVR to 75 in one year, Landeskog went from 67 to 72.
