I'm really looking forward to my first season as a CPHL GM! I realize it could be a long one. Let the games begin!

You've certainly put your stamp on the hawks. Couple big moves and one questionable one.Interested to see how it all plays out.

[Sec218]

Now updated with player rankings.

Tweaked the lines a bit. I have decided to leave Parise as the LW on the first line, so he can play with Richards. Unfortunately, it leaves me pretty weak at center on the second line.

What are your guys thoughts of loading up the first line vs. spreading the wealth?

Thanks,

[Young Guns]

All about finding chemistry. If they click your golden. May need to find a better defensive forward though. Richards is going to be exhausted playing the power play and killing penalties.

[MJK]

I have a pretty good system playing the sim but I won't be telling you or anyone else! Good luck. I look forward to beating you multiple times.
