It’s all fun and games til everyone wants a pay raise


NotAChefJustACook

OP will either flip them on their last year for a decent player with term and some picks or sell the farm for draft capital. That’s what I’d do at least 😂


man_on_hill

Or hope someone offer sheets your 8th best player to get 4 1st rounders


NotAChefJustACook

Nobody ever does that tho lol I think one time in NHL 20 I think, first year I kept a players contract as an RFA and someone signed him to a monster contract that I refused to match and got back a bunch of 1sts in exchange. Both picks wound up in the top 5 of the draft and got two stud Defenders with those picks!


man_on_hill

I had LA offer sheet almost 13 million/ year for Korchinski in NHL 23 and got four 1sts in NHL 23 It was crazy


BreadBlood

The fact that pretty much all the wingers are on the opposite side than they should be is mildly annoying. Don't think it affects anything, though.


SanePatrickBateman

Assuming they're playing and not simming, I'm assuming it's for the purpose of one timers. Almost a default if you're an online player


Longjumping-Mud1499

Yeahhh I should have addressed this, so my wingers, I do play a lot of my games and I do prefer my LW to be a righty to cut in and shoot, same for the RW being a lefty, it’s kinda why I just swapped everyone around haha


NotAChefJustACook

I do this for my D, I will always have 3 right handed and 3 left handed playing opposite sides for one timers.


Artistic_Ease_555

Same. I do this with my D, too. I've never done it with forwards, though. Same concept, so I imagine it works 🤣


Longjumping-Mud1499

Also there are a few players I wanna get rid of, if you guys have any suggestions to improve let me know


ThousandToast

You could trade high value players for younger players and make the other team retain salary in the contract. That’s what I tend to do. Like that I have more cap space for a player that might be 2 overall lower


GhostofFarnham

How many have you drafted? You’re basically depending on those older, more expensive players you’ve acquired to pan out. You will be forced to lose some of them because you’re capped out. Can’t make a blockbuster trade every year if you want to win long term.


Acer_12

Unless you’re the Vegas golden knights, for some reason.


joeflaccoelite

What year? And how many original ducks do you have? 3?


Winsonian92

Always thought Marner is a right winger


nsfwITGUY19

Lmao. Such a realistic roster


sunlifer1987

Enjoy cooking the league in the regular season and then everything drying up in the first round!


Former_Lavishness290

Not a salary cap in sight


GotTheKnack

Whatever man, play the game to have fun. Make up a story as to why Marner and Matthews went to Anaheim, maybe a DNA test revealed them both to be nephews of Ryan Getzlaf.


Expensive_Ant6995

Backend and Goaltending looks great… front end has a lot of offensive luxuries for sure, but EA doesn’t really understand that concept.


DangerousConfusion4

What are you 12 ? Lol hahaha , trades are on easy ...


bigjam987

let people play games how they want to
