It seems really beneficial to complete collections this year. I completed Carolina last night which is fairly cheap to do and pulled a POTG Lemeux. 0 Salary on him.

Huthq is great for collections. I used to use another site before the player update but they didn't add the new players yet and huthq had them up right away. huthead is a good site too but smaller.

I've been wondering this lately, do the legends have generic faces? Or did they actually put them all in the game properly?

No they have proper faces. Lemeux looks pretty bang on.

Milestone Iggy released today, 90 overall

4 new all star cards: Girgensons, Crawford, Fleury, E. Karlsson

Just spent 15,000 pucks, that took hours to acquire, to build up to complete the Flames collection for 5 gold packs. The best player I pulled was Grant Clitsome. What a waste.

Question;

Does the salary of your HUT really matter?
You have to think they show it for a reason..

The reason I ask; I had a 100 million+ team that was playing terrible.
I sold my 4th line (all 88 or up players) and replaced them with Landeskog - Monahan - Tarasenko and my team is playing a lot better, eventhough my 4th line isn't on the scoresheet that much.

Nothing official from EA but I've noticed that too. 5 Star team and it feels sluggish, 4.5 stars and normal. I managed to get my salary down to 41mil by having rookies and boosting (POTG Lemeux helps) with a top line of Benn-Datsuyk-Hossa and I got outshot 18-8 and won 2-1, one goal coming from a long flip shot from my own zone.

Lehkonen - Monahan - Nishkushkin
Bissonette - TOTW Hanzal - McGratton
Ferland - Bennet - H Smith

MOV Brodie - Seabrook
Barrie - TOTW Ekblad
Nurse - J Subban

POTG Ortio

I've auctioned off the majority of my team after winning Div 1. I find half the fun building the team, so thought I'd take a crack at doing it all over again. Players I kept:

Hudler (WC) - Monahan - Iginla (AS)
? - Lindros - ?
? - ? - ?
? - ? - ?

Giordano (TOTW) - Hedman
Brodie (TOTW) - ?
? - ?

?
?

Should be interesting to see how many pucks I have from selling off the rest of my team. Excited to build it back up again.

i find building a team by boosting guys up provides more of a tilt than having high overall players alone. (ie. boosting a mid 80 kid to mid 90s is better than having a vet that is 90+).

maybe it's just mental...

I'm making my final run on trying to get past Div 2, once that's done i think i'm going to take a break from HUT.

I am finally thinking of kicking off my be a gm mode, maybe after the trade deadline roster update. Can anyone comment on how much fun be a gm is (next gen, xbox 1)?

I usually like to split which seasons I sim right thru to help build the team, and which seasons i might actually play the games in.

I guess my query boils down to is the GM side of the game mode lacking (ie. scouting/drafting/development of prospects/trade AI) ?

Be a GM Mode has actually gotten a lot better since the game came out. Day 1 you couldnt even pick the player you drafted. Now you can set your scouts to watch certain players or regions. The draft is more fun now as each team has 3 minutes to make a decision of if they are trading the pick or making a selection. My first season I tanked and picked up McDavid. He is fun to play with Gaudreau who got a boost in the last roster update.

The stupid thing is that there is no longer a screen that replicates the rankings so you can focus on who you may want to scout. The only thing that exists is a summary of who you scouted.

Basically, you cannot view or account for the players outside of a region you have already scouted, and there is no indication (other than your scouting staff's interpretation of 'potential') as to where the players rank in respect to each other.

Pinning a player that my scouts think is great, but is actually slated to go in the 4th round, is useless, as chances are their interpretations of his ceiling and skills are way off.

about 5 cards short of the Columbus collection, with Bobrovsky only being the big meal ticket required for 7 gold packs. thought they may be the best bang for your buck as far as collection bonuses go.

My team thus far, at 4.5 stars...

Skinner - Johansen - Iginla
O'Reilly - Hanzal - Vrbata
Foligno - C. SMith - Doan
Clarkson - Colbourne - Bouma

Vlasic - Hjalmarsson
J.Johnson - Wisniewski
Josi - Bogosian

Luongo
Emery

Nice! I pulled a TOTW Perron in that collection. Did Toronto last night, Kessel is so cheap now >60k so it's a lot easier, 10 packs but nothing good.

I've actually been making some good coin doing collections. Probably made 100k profit so far from buying and selling players for collections.
