2017 Thread 2015 Thread 2014 Thread 2013 Thread So, I have a lot of extra free time on my hands for the next month or two, so I am resurrecting a forums favorite. I create you in NHL 20, and follow your career until you retire. Last time I did this, it took a few months, but I am going to try and get through this career in about a month or so. Some things have changed since I tried this last, and I certainly don't have the time to do all the pre-draft stuff I used to, so we are going to streamline this a bit. I post a start of season update, an All-Star Game update (I will do educated guesses on ASG selections), End of Regular Season, then Playoffs/Offseason/Start of next season. Since my time is still somewhat limited, I am going to limit registration to 25 players, over 2 draft classes. I will focus player creation on the player type you choose (SNP get high shooting accuracy, PLY get high passing, etc). Also, this year I am asking for a character trait or 1 attribute you want to customize to add into your character. Or even, a real-life hockey player to model your play after. For example, in the past, Pleads has been a PIM machine (so, I would set his discipline low), or you want to be the next Iafrate/McInnis/Chara (so you would get 99 Slap Shot Power), or you are a multi-concussed goon who only knows how to check (so, you would get a high Checking rating). You don't have to use one of these three, so be creative if you would like. However, since we are expecting Seattle to join the NHL, I will be adding them as an Expansion Team beginning with the 2019-20 season (because that is how the game makes it happen). So, we will have 32 NHL teams and 32 AHL teams. Burnaby Aces will be the AHL team for Seattle, since 1) The game does not have Palm Springs as a city to be used, and 2) I'm lazy and that is the team that is auto generated. Much like what will really happen in the NHL, Arizona will move the Central Division, and Seattle will join the Pacific division. I will track all of your stats, awards, and any transactions on a Google Spreadsheet that I will get up and running once this gets started. I ask that anybody that decides they want to join this, to please bookmark the thread, follow it, and contribute, because I don't want to spend the next month just posting to myself in this thread. Creation has not changed at all since I did this last, so I am keeping the same registration as last time: Name (First & Last): Birthday: Draft Class 1 or 2: Height: Weight: City: Country: Position: Number: Handedness: Pick one of the paths to the Pros: Major Junior / College / Europe Player Type: Forward Player Types -- Playmaker, Sniper, Power Forward, Two-Way Forward, Grinder, Enforcer Defensemen Player Types -- Offensive Defenseman, Defensive Defenseman, Two-Way Defenseman, Enforcer Goalies will just be Hybrid-type Real life counterpart (active or retired) or short description of player: Registration has closed. https://tinyurl.com/NHL-Create-A-Goon-2020 for complete stats Hockles fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Aug 13, 2020 |

So, going through, getting my behind the scenes stuff ready... I learned that this game auto-populates the AHL affiliate of the expansion team into the North Division (Eastern Conference), giving them 9 teams and keeps the Pacific Division with 7, and there is no way to adjust it. So, the AHL standings are going to be unbalanced, but whatever.

Known for his big hits, borderline dirty play, elite hands and eyes, and a next-level chirping game, Hort Always plays a big role on his teams and always fights for every second of ice time. This man is more chip than shoulder and isn't ashamed of it. He knows he's talented, he knows he's a bastard to play against, and he knows he's way too short to be doing this, he just doesn't give a gently caress. Also loves very tall women. e: or whichever draft class has room. Cocaine Bear fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Aug 6, 2020 |

There is one nice addition that has been missing for the past 5+ years, that I am excited to unveil tomorrow or this weekend. And, one feature is back after weirdly being absent for a few years, which will make more work for me (but you will enjoy it). I have updated the draft classes in the 2nd post, and I took some artistic liberties with your pathways since I was vague on what I asked for. This time around, it is not as difficult to track players pre-draft in the game, so I hope you enjoy your amateur teams.

Well, since I have everything ready to go, I am going to get things started tonight. 2019 Draft Lottery Results 15. Philadelphia (via ARI) 14. Florida 13. Chicago 12. Minnesota 11. Arizona (via PHI) 10. Anaheim (down from 9) 9. Edmonton (down from 8) 8. NY Rangers (down from 7) 7. Detroit (down from 5) 6. Seattle (down from 3) 5. Los Angeles (down from 2) 4. Colorado (via OTT, down from 1) 3. New Jersey (up from 4) 2. Vancouver (up from 10) 1. Buffalo (up from 6) No goons are in this draft, it is like a fake placeholder draft, with mostly game-generated players. Jack Hughes, Kaapo Kakko, etc are not affected by this draft. I won't do any recap of it. 2019 Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft selections  2019 Offseason News Lots of free agent movement, I'm not going to list all of them. For example: big names like Taylor Hall, Zdeno Chara, Joe Thornton find new homes. Central Scouting Preseason 2020 NHL Draft Projections  The Kraken end up with a pretty decent team from the players available for the Expansion Draft. I am not going to do a mid-season update of the 2019-20 season, since there isn't much affecting you guys happening. But, I will do a final recap of what a simulation of a regular 2019-20 season would be like, with final standings, and award winners tomorrow afternoon. Then, I expect to do a shortened version of live posting of the 2020 draft tomorrow night during the 1st intermission of the CBJ/TOR game (like 8:45pm Eastern).
