Wow. The trailer actually mentions neutral zone play and that players will need to get creative for less "north-south" action.

I'll need to see it to believe it, but this is the most I've been excited about an NHL gameplay trailer in YEARS...years.

EDIT: Despite the talk about positioning and neutral zone play, there is a lot in the trailer to not like. Goalies still seem stiff and unrealistic. And the idea they spent so much time and resources on new dekes that happen so rarely in real NHL games is a bit troubling. Am I going to see the Michigan goal or Kucherov's no deke once per game now?

I, like others, will need to wait and see on this. Some promising elements, but some that could be game-breaking for me.
