Last year was a real struggle until I traded for Malkin and then Kopitar. Having a star or two on your team makes a big difference in the SIM over the long run. That's why these big ticket guys get paid in CPHL.

The guys that you could sign at the same OVR this year, than the ones that you could sign during UFA, the UFA guys usually won't live up to a three year contract. A problem for future you.

Generally, there are parametres to the game, and you can play within those parametres as you wish. Everyone is different. I've only been here one season, but I can see that the guys who have everything fall apart are probably having the most fun, because they have to get inventive and change strategy midstream.

I think I picked up eight UFAs last year, and thought I was a wizard. Only Boone Jenner and Evan Barrett remain.
