Default Someone "GM'd" the Flames in NHL 22 on YouTube

I mentioned this video in a different thread, but here it is. Basically, they ran a season in GM mode for the Flames using our current roster (with all off season moves up to and including the Huberdeau and Mangiapane signings).

It looks like they've done a second season too, but I haven't watched it yet (I'll include it below, but I don't know if it's any good or not).

Anyway, it's just something interesting to watch. He has some weird takes, and makes some interesting trades, but the final result should be pretty familiar to all of us.

Of note, Weegar starts off the season as our highest-rated D with a rating of 87. Next highest is (I think) Tanev with an 84.

Edit: I think everyone's going to get a kick out of who cleans up the awards at the end of the first season.

Season One


Season Two

All we need to do is somehow get Brent Burns, Voracek, and Sonny Milano in season 2 of Huby's contract to win the cup? Dang

I've been beating the Voracek for Monahan drum for a while now lol. I actually think this is a baller trade.

Burns he acquired for Valimaki. Interestingly, I think Carolina is actually a perfect fit for Vali as they have good dmen that can help settle him in the league and a strong finnish core. I would make this trade too.

Hopefully all the usual suspects are #### talking the GM in the youtube comments.

I spat my drink out when he traded Wolf for a 3rd round pick.

Terrible GM even for an NHL EA masterpiece.
Most of the moves/signings made little sense.

Is this in season 2? What the hell reasoning did he have for that?

Guess I'm watching it right now...

I thought the results of season one were hilarious, both how our season ended (typical) and who cleaned up the awards lol.

It was actually Vladar that was traded for a 3rd. It sounded like his reasoning was to get Wolf some playing time as the AHL starter.

Lol Johnny with 127 points and Laine with 111 in their first season together. I’d honestly cry if that happens in the real world next season

Even if it happened, they'd still miss the playoffs.

They wouldn't do it. Voracek is a known serviceable player they recently brought back and the cap savings is not great in that swap. I would love to see it though.

Lindholm and Anderson grossly under-rated in this. Huberdeau with 5g 5a in 5 games in the playoffs. Wish it showed markstrom playoff stats.

EA simulations are good fun but completely random. My favourite was creating a new expansion team and attempting to tank but my first line centre Michael Backlund scored 90 points and led us to the conference finals.
