I know...I like to have the lines complete at the beginning of the year and then most of the AHL guys ready if there's a call up. I also do it after the trade deadline one last time.
I hate when I don't have a call up mid franchise- granted, he'll probably just be a scrub and then sent back in a game or 2. Last year was the first time I played at 82 games in a franchise in 2K10.
