I musta fired 10 coaches one year, not because my team sucks, but because I could.
I took over the Oilers and destroyed the franchise, I basically traded Wayne Gretzky for John Garrett.

It was called Hockey League Simulator. My friend and I ran a fantasy GM hockey league with it. Each year we'd rank the players, sell the teams to our friends at school, and send out weekly reports on how their teams are doing.
Along with WGH2, I played HLS over and over again. I really enjoyed being the armchair GM. It was easy to manipulate the computer when making trades though... for example, the computer just won't trade away a player? Add in $1 and voila! You got the trade done. What I really enjoyed about HLS is just playing around with different styles of teams, and pairing up certain players. Based on how my friend and I ranked the players, the best line we ever created was Robitaille-Yzerman-Neely.
Another thing I found you could do is put a player on every line. I put Mario Lemieux on each line (ES, PP and SH) and he'd score 400 points in a season.
