Do I have to sign up for the challenge or does it just involve posting results?
There's no sign up, just play and post results/screenshotsSesyde wrote:If I understand correctly then it's just to start playing and post screens after every season, and stats every quarter, right?
Hey he's goodnickflyers wrote:Lot of us drafted Nick Heid it seems.
Before I hired new scouts, it was trust Tim Burke and that's who he recommended
Sometimes I take over just to hire decent coaches and then retire. This time I retained control because I wanted to make sure that the right players got ice time. So I set the roster and lines, let the coach handle tactics, and go on vacation for 2-4 weeks at a time.Prowl wrote:Worthwhile to control the Minor league team?

You're playing Zoln-whatever over Pearson on the third line? I know Pearson doesn't appear to be as good in this challenge as he was in the last but he's better than Harry Z.stone169 wrote:Official Starting Lineup for the 2016-2017 season:

He is on my team in season 6 and he is doing decent, barely ready. Talk about slow!Peter_Doherty wrote:He did, it was just slow.

Yeah...I'm one goalie injury from being screwed....I overlooked the goalie situation BIG TIME.visualdarkness wrote: The main thing that scares me is the lack of depth. If one of the top guys gets injured we're in big trouble.
and now Stalock refused contract offers.... 
yup need to restart...I am not a smart man... 
Discipline player - give him few warnings for poor performance or unprofesional behaviour, if that was not enough, fine him for one week salary. When I had done testing for my trades, I was able to trade him to Rangers, Bruins, Ducks, Habs, Lightning, Kings and even to Flames.flamesfan2313 wrote:Marleau won't waive his no trade clause to ANYONE.

You can easily get players to waive their NTC even in the trade window. First you have to fine them, I usually do so for no reason. After that, I maybe fine the 2nd time for poor performance or smth and if this doesn't settle it, you should go to the players profile and put his status to not needed. Once he's accepts to waive his NTC you can see it the transfer window in brackets.sao.phim wrote:Discipline player - give him few warnings for poor performance or unprofesional behaviour, if that was not enough, fine him for one week salary.

True that Thornton was much more easier to get rid off..
Take it like a man and keep going is what i would say but since i don't think there is a specific rule for it nor a way to enforce it i dno. If you haven't logged any stats yet, just go ahead and restart.nickflyers wrote:Yeah...I'm one goalie injury from being screwed....I overlooked the goalie situation BIG TIME.visualdarkness wrote: The main thing that scares me is the lack of depth.

What's the rules for restarting??

. I'm gonna restart, but I'm making the same moves I made initially just signing Stalock, (Hopefully) Sateri and Grosenick. I have no intentions on trying to go after say a Gibson, Demko, etc. (Not yet at least). Think of it as a mulligan, we haven't officially started as far as keeping stats. If it makes you feel better do the same thing I'm doing. I'd only restart just because I failed to sign Melker and Sakeri lol. Other than that I'm rolling along. Couturier and Couture are kind a struggling but Hertl has been dynamite. 20 points in 13 games, including a league leading 12 goals. Grosenick has outplayed Stalock although both have been terrible to start. That might be more because my defense hasn't helped. Barrie though is as good as advertised. 20 points including 6 goals and leading all d men in scoring. Just fantasticPeter_Doherty wrote:I should do that aswell but i feel iffy about it, feels like cheating
Instead of doing the players in and players out on the Transactions screen, go to Trades.Vemboy wrote:Lets see if im doing this right, trades and stuff might not be the best, but hard when it's your first time, anyways here are my trades and picks.
