Manimal Rosters 2011-2012; Mistakes, omissions, tweaks etc

[DJP19]

The London Knights have the right affiliate but they're listed twice. Not really a problem just adds another team to the left-side tab, but they both take you to the right team.
Also, using the Knights I was looking at Max Domi and his favourite staff was obviously his father(Tie Domi). So I clicked his name and discovered he is a really good coach. He has amazing stats and could be coaching in the NHL. I'm just not really sure he deserves such high attributes since he doesn't have any significant coaching credentials.

All NHL ratings will be looked upon during the off-season. Please continue with your opinions

I removed one of the affiliations
Tie Domi is not set up as a coach in the editor. Sometimes, when a player retires at start up(like Tie does) they become great staff members. Tie is only a retired player IRL

Just curious is to whats going on with the ECHL and AHL, sorry if this is posted somewhere, still getting used to the site and whats posted where. But I noticed that some AHL teams are in the ECHL, and some of the ECHL teams aren't even in game. Examples being Albany Devils and Providence Bruins, there listed in the ECHL, but in real life are in the AHL. Also the ECHL is missing a handful teams from what I've noticed. I thought I read somewhere there was a reason for this...? Maybe I am wrong?

[Manimal]

Maybe I am wrong?

There are no teams missing from the ECHL and I will not answer the AHL team question again. Make a search...

Sorry to upset you... new here so wasn't really what to type in the search when searching for Albany and Providence. As for the ECHL when I said a handful of teams are missing, in the editor they are all listed... but in game I couldn't find them. It was my mistake, sorry about that I did find them. Again nice job on everything!

I typed in "Albany" and on page 1 of the search results was the "where's Albany" question complete with answer/explanation

Nothing major, but noticed that some GM's in various leagues have 1900 joined team dates with their respective teams.

NHL:

Ken Holland: listed as 1983, but he only became GM in 1997 which I think it should be listed as.
Steve Tambellini: 2008 is when he joined the Oilers as GM.
Mike Gillis: 2008 is the year he became Canucks GM.

Other Leagues: (Don't know their actual joined team dates)

Scott McConnell (Chicago Steel)
Derek Lalonde (Green Bay Gamblers)
Jim Montgomery (Dubuque Fighting Saints)
Anthony Noreen (Youngstown Phantoms)
Mike Aikens (Omaha Lancers)

[y2jericho]

Forgot to mention Kyle Wallack - head coach/gm - Indiana Ice - unknown start date.

Not sure if posted but,

Luongo no playoff stats added
Burrows has +/- messed up
why is OV's cap hit 7.8M in each file?

[Primis]

Bit late, but Michigan State is missing some notable players. CCHA 1st Teamer D Torey Krug (now signed by the Boston Bruins) is missing. And so are both of Chris Chelios' kids (Dean, a F, and Jake, a D/F who mostly plays D).

BTW, the actual ECHL rosters looked more spot-on this time around to me. A lot less missing guys.

I bet NCAA has not been updated in some time.

Hello, Im New here , but i have read this forum for a while. Just wantedt to ask if you know thta HCK http://hckjt.fi/home/ was promoted to Finnish Mestis and will it be in the next update. And is there going to be updates to Finnish Suomi Sarja also?

It will not be in the next update as I am working on a 11-12 WHL release.
It will be in 5.0.
I hope the Suomi-Sarja will be updated then, as well. I can not guarantee it, but I think it will

[Loosie]

Just an FYI in the OHL Mississauga has been sold and with it their ties to St Michael's is gone. They are now the Mississauga Steelheads

So I started a new game using the new 4.2 rosters today in the WHL. I decided to manage the Lethbridge Hurricanes
Anyway....here is the season preview. Gotta say, it is not bad in terms of accuracy from the league this past year:

1. Portland Winterhawks Key: Sven Bartschi
2. Edmonton Oil Kings Key:Martin Gernat
3. Vancouver Giants Key-Brendan Gallagher
4. Tri City Americans Key-Brendan Shinnimin
5. Brandon Wheat Kings Key-Kevin Sundher
6. Saskatoon Blades Key-Duncan Siemens
7 Kelowna Rockets Key-Brett Bulmer
8 Medicine Hat Tigers Key-Emerson Etem
9 Red Deer Rebels Key-Alex Petrovic
10 Kamloops Blazers-Key Brendan Ranford
11 SPokane Chiefs-Key Brendan Kitchen
12 Prince Albert Raiders-Key Mark McNeill
13 Moose Jaw Warriors Key-James Henry
14 Kootenay Ice Key Max Reinhart
15 Prince George Cougars Key Drew Owsley
16 Seattle Thunderbirds Key Burke Gallimore
17 Regina Pats Key Jordan Weal
18 Victoria Royals Key Hayden Rintoul
19 Lethbridge Hurricanes Key Brody Sutter
20 Swift Current Broncos Key Coda Gordan
21 Everett Silvertips Key Ryan Murray

I would say Brandon is too high, Vancouver and Kamloops should switch spots (Manimal did you get the Bonner brother's mixed up? Heh), Red Deer a bit lower, Moose Jaw up into top 6....and Prince Albert is obviously too high with Prince George as well. Seattle should be lower than Everett if it was perfect.

But really...this ain't bad. Top two teams ranked are the WHL finalists from last season. Not bad at all.

Really the biggest issue is Moose Jaw was severely underrated and Brandon overrated. Switch their spots and this looks real good on first look.

Looking at some of the players--Pretty bang on. Nice work gang.

Seattle has some good young talent, but they couldn't put everything together to get the final wins they needed to get in the playoffs.

As for the WHL Challenge.. Seattle is perfect.. They just lost the best goalie in WHL history.. Calvin Pickard and they have the #1 overall pick in the Bantam Draft and Top Ten in the Import Draft with some really solid prospects.. It would be a really fun challenge.

[nino33]

Ever hear of Grant Fuhr?

I'll have to keep them in mind for once we get close to the next challenge. We'll definitely be going WHL this time!

[batdad]

No offense bestrafer...Seattle is really not very good. And just miss the playoffs? Dude...they had the #1 pick in the draft this year by winning the draft lottery. I believe they were the third worst team in the league even with Pickard in net. Yes he was good, but not the best WHL goalie ever. A bit of an exaggeration if ever. I mean how soon do we forget Carey Price, Tyson Sexsmith , Grant Fuhr, even Nathan Lieuwen his last two years, Cam Ward, even Pick's older brother, Leland Irving, Cory Hirsch (look up his numbers) Kelly Hrudey, Trevor Kidd....wow so many guys to make that kind of a statement. Seriously lets be a little less biased. Wow. Those guys took me 2 minutes to think of...and I know there are a ton more. Showing your fandom and isolation a bit there?


Seattle in 3-4 years EVEN with Matt Barzal may be a good team. But they are at least that far away from being good. Noone on that team can skate. They may not even be a playoff team til he is 18 or 19.

And yes...Seattle, Everett, Prince George, Prince Albert, Lethbridge...should all be good challenge teams. Swift Current as well. Victoria Royals are not very good either.

[timmy_t]

Just looking at Seattle in the WHL and their arena lists the ShoWare center in Ohio, not Washington. (Not sure if someone posted this already)
