Woohoo, I'm going to the OHL! Sudbury wouldn't be my top choice, but I'll take it. :thup:

4th line potential suits me fine. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I won't get signed to the NHL and I can take Espoo Blues to the finals and Championship! 8-)

If I do get signed though, I'll just take the money and pain and moan if they throw me down to the AHL. :rant:
you moved to Turku!

All summer moves have been done, Corinthian is the only player without a club, I may sign him to a club if he fails to get one before October, I don't want him retiring on me this early!

I'm pretty happy with my player right now. Scouted as "Skilled Defenseman - no. 1/2 potential." I tried to make him pretty balanced with high determination and work rate. I'm looking forward to the WHL!

First Line Potential --- I'll take that.

Quite a bit in the scout report also, which makes me feel good about my potential.

Dany Heatley? I'll take it.

Like going to London with 13th overall.

not the best season, but i'll take it and now get to show some skill with Kamloops. Johan's scouting report looks pretty good too, got a good amount of lines and projected 1st line

The teams have a limit on the number of young guys they can play. Many players even superstars do not play in the junior leagues at 15 and 16. No matter how high they are drafted. Especially if they get picked by a good team who is stocked with older players in the position you play. Don't worry about it.

I signed with Chilliwack in the WHL, but they still may send me down because I will barely be 16 when I go to camp this year. Most WHL teams only keep 2 16 year olds on their rosters. Same is true in the other leagues.

I loved what the scouts said about my abilities. Apparently, I'm a more talented version of Miro Satan with a bigger frame. Not too bad! I pointed at Ovechking though! Anyway, looking for a bright future for my boy. :-D

Nooooo.

It's like...the biggest Bettman city in Slovakia. How can I expect to develop into skilled player in such a ghetto? Damit, damit, damit.

There were a few players who didn't change club.

The saved games will be out later in the summer, I want to continue on with this game before I make it available for everyone :thup:

Well, that explains why I wasn't listed in the draft.

In real life I was drafted by Guelph, and in the game guelph owns my rights.

Can't get drafted if you already were.

Suppose I should of mentioned that so calv could of removed my rights.

Whoops. :oops:

Playoffs:Played 6 games with 3 goals, 8 Assists, +7, 6 PIMs and an average rating of 9

My guy didn't have a great 2nd season but look at his playoff stats!

So what does it mean that everyone else has moved on in the off-season but he hasn't? lol

Flexx Torso's scout report is great!

Enforcer, 1st line potential, checks with power and tenacity, very very strong, electric speed, fantastic forechecker....... to name but a few.

Excited to see how he progresses.

I think the low ice-time explains the high numbers. For example, a goalie who plays two games and gets two shut-outs will have a perfect SV% and GAA, whereas someone who has played a full season would find it almost impossible to maintain averages like that after 50-something games.

But don't worry, I'm moving on to Sudbury. So you should be the #1 guy in Philly now(or very soon). :thup:

Fod D88-Import draft does not occur until you are at least 17. So don't worry about it, that is the only reason. Also your stat decrease..did you play in a higher league in the 2nd year? Sometimes it gets harder, especially in Europe when you are then playing with older guys.

Flexx, because you're in the qmjhl you won't be moving clubs until you get drafted by an NHL team.

I think the scout reports may be a bit skewed by our high attributes at our young age, some of the predictons won't come true

Wow, can't believe I completely missed the start of this and now my guy is making so much noise :D
06-07: 50gp, 40g, 73a, 113p
07-08: 50gp, 32g, 72a, 109p

What I don't like is the comparison to Glen Metropolit. Are you kidding me? I have good vision and exceptional playmaking skills... ;)
Now I just have to find Swift Current in the middle of nowhere to start my WHL career :-D

Great stuff! Keep it up Calv!! :)

I drop from 107 to 72 points, that's a really big deception.

There is something I don't understand.
I'll be draft with Saint John in the Q
But it's write that I move to Halifax

Keven Roux: Jonquiere - Halifax

Did I'll be trade during the summer of it's a mistake ?
