I had some rough time in games 21-40, but for game 40 I decided to try a new tactic and manage to beat conference leaders Dallas Stars with 5-0, but after a bad form I'm in 15th after 40.

Thinking trade route would be more realistic. Maybe get rid of some of these soft players I'm looking at? Preferably get a 4-6 Dman as a UFA.
I'll probably take a similar route but maybe go for a center instead of a Dman. I'm not sure though. I need to replace Staios for sure. He's old and ineffective. Surprisingly, Strudwick isn't doing too terribly. I suppose I could bring Smid up next season to replace Staios. Or if I wanted to put him in place of Strudiwick, I'd have to acquire a RD. If I decide to go for a center, I can ship out Gagner. There's lots to think about. We'll have to see how things play out the rest of the season.
Hemsky can be quite the player, huh? Impressive 4 game stretch!
While Deslauriers isn't the strongest goaltender, there is a huge difference between him and Dubnyk. Those three weeks are going to be ROUGH! He's out for a week right now in my game.

Avalanche was ranked 28th in my game. Not the last probably because they got Cheechoo. Me, I'm 25th as well. Just started the regular season, and suffered to straight losses to the Flames. I hope it doesn't get any worse.
How's Penner doing on everyone's team? He's been a machine so far for me through 10 games, 10 G for 23 points. He's started off really hot, surprised, didn't expect much from him to be honest.
The whole world knows the Oilers goalies are bad. Not putting shots in but Milan Hnlicka and Martin Brochu (is why I thought of him in the hockey thread) have approached the team on the same day asking to play for Oilers. Ugh.
I'm very slow at playing the game. Hasn't passed pre-season yet. I am spending lots of time with the Falcons, as well. Got them new staff. A Norwegian is their head coach! Geir Tore Myhre. Good stats. John LeClair and Joe Sakic are AC's and Brian Leetch is a scout for the team. It's always interesting to see which players turn out to be good staff members.

I think so. It helps the players development, when you get them playing the way you want them to and under good coaches. It takes a little time, though. Especially for me, as I want to get everything right with personal tactics and such
