I have improved quite a bit. Although I have been drafted by Baie-Comeau, I would prefer to go to the WHl.

PS. when will the saved game come out?

Spending the whole year in Windsor under a supervision of really good coaching staff there didn't affect my physical and menthal attributes anyway.

However, my technical side have improved quite a bit.
Deking, off the puck, passing, slapshot, stickhandling and wristshot all up by 1

It seems like instead of being Ovechking, I'm on the pace to become Alex Semin's type of a player.

NHL Prelim rankings out

Saved games will be made available once I've carried on this game where the players are in the NHL.(The saved games will be from May or September from each year from 2008)

Before anyone comments on why Bart Bradshaw is not ranked...I have a December birthday. so...I will not be eligible for the draft until the next one. NHL cutoff is you must be 18 by September 15 of draft year. I don't make it. Some other won't either, and so you know...

you are in the same boat as me. But I did it on purpose.

NHL Entry Draft Prelim Rankings:
15) Richard Rahl
Am I going to be a first rounder?!

Absolutely excited, especially because there's a good chance to be drafted by a good team

TheBigM · Post by **TheBigM** » Mon May 05, 2008 9:30 pm

Sweeeeeet! I'm the second ranked TBL player in the NHL entry draft, behind only the almighty Bastian Lauer.

My stat progression has really tailed off though: Balance, Anticipation, Poke Check and Reflexes up by one, Stamina up by two (

).

Oh, and I added another 5 lbs. I'm shaping up to be a big boy!

Nice start to the season for me as well, going 3 - 1 with a 2.75gaa .903 sv% and 7.5 form. Could be a big year in Kelowna! Go Rockets!

I'm actually happy about my #53 rank in the NHL draft. There are some teams that is interested to sign me.
Maybe I will be the new Lundqvist.

I'm in the next draft year with batdad. That's cool with me. The only thing I'm sad about is my guy's "getting open - off the puck" is horrendous. I guess I missed that one in the spreadsheet, because I was trying to make my guy like Scott Niedermayer.

Ha, my scouting profile should read:

"couldn't get open if he was one-on-one with the goalie"
"needs a map to find the open area"
"like Scott Niedermayer lost in the woods"

I'm starting to think i have a low potential, only 1 technical went up by 1:(

Post by **timmy_t** » Tue May 06, 2008 1:06 am

It may be the coaches for your team, ron7...

Loosie · Post by **Loosie** » Tue May 06, 2008 1:22 am

Sweet, ranked 14th and an explosive start to the season for once.

Hopefully that continues.

Sythus · Post by **Sythus** » Tue May 06, 2008 2:54 am

I was playing in the Q

It was write at the beginning of the season that I was with Halifax..
It should be important to write the transaction during the year too

So finally, I'm really happy of that, I end my rookie season in the Q with 96 points..

rottamies · Post by **rottamies** » Tue May 06, 2008 8:09 am

Calv, a quick question: are Rotta, Tasku and Hivri all playing for TPS this season? That's just amazing, i mean what are the odds for that?

The team is sort of stacked on the young talent department, i guess...

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Tue May 06, 2008 2:48 pm

Not much has increased for me in the physical category. I went up 1 in Balance. My mental attributes stayed the same. As for technical skills... checking, deflections, deking, off the puck, passing, stickhandling, and wristshot all went up by 1.

I've also grown another inch. I'm not 6'5" and my player started at 6'3". That's pretty cool! I've still got another year before I'm draft eligible too. I've got a December birthday, so I won't be taken until the next draft. I could even grow another inch. I just wish I would pack on some more weight to go with it!

Post by **Calv** » Tue May 06, 2008 11:31 pm

Looks like batdad's career is over, 6 months torn ACL

Post by **vilifyingforce** » Tue May 06, 2008 11:55 pm

Balance, Checking, Hitting, Off the Puck, Pokecheck, Stickhandling, & Wristshot all up by 1. Also, grew another inch and gained 3 lbs. am now 6'3" 194lbs at 16. Can't wait to see how I do in the next level. I guess, I'll be waiting until next year as well, what worth having an October birthday, should end up being ranked pretty high though, hopefully.Biggest problem with my guy, is I built him to bed a defensive grinder, not something that the EHM AI loves.

He seems to be doing everything I want though. I think he'll be fine. Any chance on updated scouting?

Post by **Calv** » Tue May 06, 2008 11:58 pm

I'll do another scouting mission after this season is over

2 updates up

wow Johan's potential must have some problems since he having his best season right now at 17, tied for thrid in goals scored, has a rating over 8 and no-one wants him and he dropped 4 spots?!

Post by **batdad** » Wed May 07, 2008 3:32 am

Ouch! That is painful. Oh well, at least I won't have to suffer playing in freaking Chilliwack for the rest of the season!

Andre Vissia:

Post by **batdad** » Wed May 07, 2008 3:34 am

That is because like in real life...Ron Delorme is the head scout in EHM
