What are YOUR lines in NHL 07

[Finner]

Hopefully this isn't a fata, but I'm curious who has what on their NHL 07 teams, and how they got them. Currently here's what my team looks like 25 games into my first dynasty season:

Ovechkin - Jokinen - Iginla
Huselius - Lombardi - Amonte
Friesen - Perreault - Kobasew
Nilson - Yelle - Mccarty

Defense:

Phaneuf - Regehr
Zyuzin - Warrener
R. Regehr - Giordano (Ference is injured)

I got Ovechkin for Tanguay and a second round pick
I got Jokinen and a fifth for Langkow and Hamrlik (I was dropping salary)
Perrault i picked up on waivers...my faceoffs had been pretty bad.

Here are my stats 25 games into the season for my various top players:

Goals - Assists - Points

Jokinen - 11-21-32
Iginla - 18-7-25
Ovechkin - 19-5-24
Phaneuf - 9-12-21
Lombardi - 11-8-19
Friesen - 8-7-15
Regehr - 3-9-12
Huselius - 9-2-11
Warrener - 2-8-10
Kobasew - 5-5-10
Ference - 1-8-9 (Injured - only played 17 games)
Amonte - 5-3-8
Yelle - 2-5-7
Zyuzin - 2-4-6
R. Regehr - 2-2-4 (Only 8 games played)
Giordano - 0-2-2 (Only 5 games played)

Goalie:

Kipprusoff - 25 GP, 1.95 GAA , 22 W, 3 L, 49 GA, 92.9 SV%, 5 SO


Everyone else post yours, I'm curious how close they could end up to the real thing. So far I think mine reflect pretty well...after the top line that is....as well as lombardi's stats are a little skewed from playing the top line until i aqquired Jokinen.

You never know though...iginla could hit 60+ goals this year....here's to wishful thinking

Which system do you play on? And what settings?

[Finner]

I'm playing on an XBOX 360 at the PRO level.

All regular NHL rules are on.

Evidently the PRO level doesn't stop stupid trades, ex. Ovechkin for ANYBODY.

[Prototype]

Someone call Sutter. We can get Alex for Tang and 2nd.

I'd do it.

This is what I've always hated about 2K7/'07 franchise modes, they're totally unrealistic when it comes to trades/signing. Even when I set franchise difficulty all the way up I can still signe Patrice Bergeron to a 7 year 600k/year deal. 2k7 doesn't even (as far as I can tell) incorporate the salary cap, my friends teams always seem to have different budgets. Its the chief reason I can't get into franchise modes long term.

Don't quote me but I believe EHM manager has a salary cap and also more realistic trades but it's a different type of game.

[Finner]

Hey, i don't care if the trades are unrealistic. I just want to see what other peoples teams are and who they had to trade for. Just curious for what i can get if i decide to restart my franchise.

[SpitFire40]

I keep it real... my lines were the same as the last Flames game played.

[Finner]

Aww, their is no fun in that. iggy and alex on the same line are awesome.

So anyone? any trades?

[Inferno]

Line 1: Tanguay, Lundmark, Iginla (I get a high chemestry rating with Lundmark at center and they seem to work well together)
Line 2: Huselius, Lombardi, Friesen
Line 3: Nilson, Langkow, McCarty
Line 4: Ritchie, Yelle, Amonte

D1: Phaneuf, Ference
D2: Hamrlik, Zyuzin
D3: Regehr, Warrener

I sat out Kobasew for the final game against Edmonton and for some reason the game automatically put him on waivers and Philly picked him up so when the playoffs are done I'm going to try and get him back from Philly or I might just wait and start a new season when the first roster update comes out and start a new dynasty.

Right now I'm playing the Oilers in the Conference finals. I took the first game 8-4.

[MarchHare]

NHL 07 on Xbox 360, either Pro or All-Star difficulty.

I don't play on Franchise Mode as I'm not really interested in the management aspect of the game (am I just missing it, or is there no option to play just a single season + playoffs without CPU trades?), but in single games, these are my lines:

Huselius - Langkow - Iginla
Tanguay - Lombardi - Kobasew
Friesen - Yelle - Nilson
Ritchie - Lundmark - Amonte

Phaneuf - Regehr
Hamrlik - Zyuzin
Warrener - Ference

Very surprisingly, I seem to score the most goals with the fourth line, even with their limited icetime. Ritchie especially seems to pot far more goals than you would expect.

[Madman]

Paille-Marleau-Iginla
Huselius-Ritchie-Tanguay
Malone-Lundmark-Goc
McCarty-Yelle-Pyatt

Ro Regher-Phanuef
Hamrlik-Ference
Ri Regher-Zyuzin

[JBR]

I was able to trade Lombardi and Simon (PC-DVD edition) for Gomez. Top line of Gomez-Iginla-Tanguay lighting it up. No Freisen on the roster. Can't find him on any roster or free-agent pool. Perhaps it's time for an online update.

[Finner]

I don't really understand how it works...how come Tanguay and a 2nd can get me Ovechkin, but Langkow, Hamrlik, and a 3rd can't get me crosby...

Either way, i wish they had the same thing as madden, which shows a meter for how much more you need to give, to get what you want.

Yep, EHM has a much tougher trade engine. For the most part it is pretty balanced. You can't just pile up medicore assets and expect a player like most EA/2K games.

It was crazy the amount of stuff I had to give up for Ovechkin in my EHM game, and 9/10 they wont even consider dealing a franchise player. You really only have a shot at them during free agency or when they are older. I waited until Ovechkin was 30 before Wash considered dealing him.

Goalies are also near impossible to acquire. You're giving up a #1/2 Dman at least.

[LGA]

Brunette - Sakic - Svatos
Wolski - Arnason - Hejduk
Korpikoski - Richardson - Armstrong
Laaksonen - McLean - Laperierre

Leopold - Boynton
Liles - Klee
Skrastins - Clark

Theodore
Budaj

Not a totally unrealistic roster.

[REDVAN]

Vyborny-Lombardi-Iginla
Tanguay-Umberger-Kobasew
Hagman-Langkow-Kunitz
Friesen-Yelle-Nilson

Phaneuf-Syvret
Ro. Regehr-Streit
Ference-Warrener

Kiprusoff
Leclaire

...check your fantasy football record. Anyone that's 1-6 shouldn't be commenting on what is/isn't a stupid trade. I'd say any trade that brings Alex the GR8 to Cowtown is a good one.

Seriously though, BBS has a point. But I guess if that's what people find fun (getting AO unreaslistically), then I'm all for it. No wait...I can't stand unrealistic games.

[Nuje]

I have the current rosters:

Tanguay-Langkow-Iginla
Huselius-Lombardi-Kobasew
Nilson-Yelle-Amonte
Friesen-Lundmark-McCarty

Simple, but they work. Tanguay-Langkow-Iginla score like hell, Huselius holds on to the puck, and lets the other 2 skate around getting open and providing great secondary scoring. Checking line is real good, and Amonte can score, and Nilson too (to a lesser extent). Amonte seems to do best in minorly screened hard wristers. (Yelle helps that happen too). Friesen is a good skater and forechecker, McCarty can hit, and Lundmark with Friesen can pot the occasional point.
