I don't really understand why the NHL series can't make a half-decent GM mode.

Thankfully the Blackberry phone system is gone. I haven't progressed far enough to see if they still have the trade-deadline mini-game, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't there last year.
Scouting is still an absolute joke (you can't even view a list of top prospects until draft day), but the draft is really revamped. Essentially, you go in order on a draft timer, giving you so much time to draft a player. You can jump in at any time and trade picks or players, and you can call time-outs to give yourself a bit more time to make a decision (however, the clock will stop when you're in a trade screen). You can also look at trade blocks, which is something that should have always been available.
Apart from the morale system, which I hate with a measurable passion, not much has changed outside of the draft in the last handful of years.
