33 points behind the Oilers. Seems realistic.

Did they do a simulation last year? And what was the result? I bet it was Oilers-friendly as well.

I wonder how many times they ran the simulation to get a result that would give their site lots of traffic.

Look at their goaltending leaders prediction for Sv% 2015-16... Enough said.

The Flames actually won the Presidents' Trophy last year!

The only way I could see the Flames only manage 66 points for dead last would be if all three of Gillies, Elliott, and Johnson get hurt, and three of Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett Giordano, Brodie, Hamilton miss significant time with injuries. Pretty brutal sim.

One run of the simulator means nothing. Didn't anyone follow the multitude of draft lottery odds threads this last spring?

EA embarasses themselves by revealing how terrible their simulation engine and player rankings are.

If this was the result after a simulation they shouldn't have released the info. How embarrassing.

i've updated the rosters to include some rookies that are expected to play on the big canadian clubs (mathews, laine, poolparty, tkachuk for kicks, marner).

I'll run a simulation once the game is officially out (sorry, not burning my 10 hour ea access time).... will let you know what happens in my sim run.

Little unfair to base an entire simulation engine on the result of one test, no?

They could run this EA simulation a million times and it wouldn't mean anything.

Meh, I wouldn't mind a shot at Nolan Patrick. He's a 6'3" right handed elite talent
