For those who picked "College" or "Europe" for their path: if you want to specify what college you attended or what team overseas you play for, I can in include in some stuff.

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).

Meanwhile the central looks pretty much exactly what you would expect it to look like.

Hockles was the first draft year pretty stacked? Some goons went as low as third round meanwhile this one looks to have everyone going first round.

At least I stayed out of the west and therefore O'Bourke can not crush my Japanese Corey Perry.

The Capitals finally beating the Penguins only to lose in 7 games in the finals (presumably in OT) is all the proof I need that NHL17 is the most accurate simulator of all time.

Isles suck and Bridgeport puts up one of the worst seasons in AHL history.

And of course Touchdown got a Cup last year before the team touched the poop and now poor Ichi is stuck as a 4th liner.


Side note: Hockles, did you set trades to high or does the game finally just do them more often?
