The closest team for Matthews would probably have been Manchester, but there's no way that would ever be a choice, so Cardiff's a good neutral pick.

Just how deep does the Euro league go? Can Nippon dominate the France league with the Gothiques d'Amiens? :v:

As deep as you want it to go. Sounds like Nippoon is their #1 LW.

This is awesome. He will develop and after game ritual of wine and cheese only to have it stolen (unless drafted by Edmonton, Calgary or Montreal).

I think I am going to do another "live" draft this year. I thought about livestreaming on Twitch, but what I have in mind is a bit better, I think. It will likely be Sunday around 8pm EST

Should've said Kulun Red Stars though.

Hockles, there's a franchise expansion mode or something in '17 right? What are the chances of making a goon team and stocking it up full of goons and having it run amok the league?

99%.

But, that's not my thing. Pleads ran the Pylons back in the day. Here are his threads: Original and Offseason

Maybe next year we can guilt him into doing it again with the Expansion Team feature.

A reminder, that the game does in-fact use the lottery. So, just because a team finishes 30th, doesn't mean they get the #1 pick.
I'll finish up the season later tonight.

I haven't pinpointed exactly when the lottery is "done" in-game. When it gets posted, it is too late, and if I save/reload the day before it is always the same outcome. So, I don't know exactly. Last year I think we had #7 move up to #1 twice
