  1. Hamilton takes Sergei Fedorov
  2. Same. Picks are in play, but I will want to see what's up in the board before I make a move. Picks: 22,27,70,75,118,123,166,171,214,219,262,267 [edited out, Carse just made a pick, yea, jinx power!]
  3. I don't think this was known as someone agreed with the Pirates already and there was the New York Americans team also available to choose from (40's). I have no problems with changing the team to something newer as I kinda feel the same. Maybe it just should be nhl94 teams and franchises ever since, but 70's is good too. I pointed out Columbus Blue Jackets earlier too, but I can be Ottawa as well if Labs wants to choose Columbus as he is before me in team picks, actually Islanders could be nice as well I like the old jerseys (actually if the change is required, I'll take Islanders). Fitzo can keep his Seals as it fits to the 70's era. I believe Skeletor stated that he could be New Jersey. Seth has his LAK. So just Labs & LA Robbie to change teams and Americans is not available? ++ For Labs & LA a list at least of teams that fit to the list and are available. Carolina Hurricanes Columbus Blue Jackets Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Florida Panthers Ottawa Senators Washington Capitals Winnipeg Jets Edited list below. 1 - LABS_66 - Minnesota North Stars 2 - Fitzo - California Golden Seals 3 - Depch - New York Islanders 4 - Skeletor - New Jersey Devlis 5 - Uncle Seth - Los Angeles Kings 6 - Gretzkyonacold -
  4. 1 - LABS_66 - Pittsburgh Pirates 2 - Fitzo - California Golden Seals 3 - Depch - Hamilton Tigers 4 - Skeletor - Cleveland Barons 5 - Uncle Seth - Los Angeles Kings 6 - Gretzkyonacold - St Louis Eagles Not sure as I'm not in the league admin, but if I understood the rules correctly you have to choose from a NHL team that is not currently in GDL, can be defunct, relocated or current. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_NHL_team_performance_list <- there you can see all the teams at least.
  5. So it seems like still 3 left to go. 1 - LABS_66 - Pittsburgh Pirates 2 - Fitzo - California Golden Seals 3 - Depch - Hamilton Tigers 4 - Skeletor - 5 - Uncle Seth - 6 - Gretzkyonacold - The ice and the jerseys of California Golden Seals is a horrible contrast. It hurts your eyes when I checked the GDL X rom, maybe the ice could be done a little more darker/blue. Not sure if anyone else has noticed it. Other than that I liked the name & jerseys of the team too.
  6. As I've had already some proposals I'll post here what it takes to move some picks from me. I'm not very keen on trading picks, but here goes. Picks in play: 22,27,70,75,118,123,166,171,214,219,262,267 I can move down, but I am not really interested in picks anything below 5th round. If I do trade down a top pick, I need to get way better in the early mid round picks like 3-4 and I will not trade my 3-4 picks heads up to just get down from 1st/2nd. I don't think there is enough value there. Talk about trading my late 5th / early 6th for 3rd in addition to the late 1st to 2nd or early 2nd to late 2nd toss up, then we could start getting somewhere. But not sure even if that's good enough but it would start looking good. Your core is done by the 6th picks so basically picks after that are of not any use for me for now so they can just be removed from the equation. 22,27,70,75,118,123 vs 22,40,57,70,75,123 (starting to look better) Early picks can have so much value when you think of your team. It's a very good player you get in to just getting two good players. Players picked between 50-80 range don't seem to have that much of a difference so trading/up down there is not bringing me enough to give away that possible elite pick. Comparing a 5th or 6th round pick to fill out a core for 3/4th now that's some difference and can compensate for losing a possible elite guy who is left over from the early picks. But I'm still not sure of that.
  7. Trade Limit: There will be 10 player/pick trade limit ^ This was mentioned in the trade rules thread
  8. Haha, I know people are itching for some good 'ol draft stuff. But some coaches are not aware of it starting, so having deadlines yet would not be good, but running slow untill set time (when deadlines start rolling) I have no problem with.
  9. Sounds nice, but for me there's just so much going on now. Blitz and GDL incoming. Having too much to play can kill the enthusiasm and make playing more of requirement, a necessity aka requires more effort than just really enjoying it. Also I prefer to focus on one or max two things at a time, still have Finnish "christmas" cup to finish as well, but it's done soon. If this is timed somewhere in between or after one of those leagues I'm definately up for it. Another question is are 4 player games doable in p2p mode? Never tested it hosting for more than 1 people. If this requires a server then it's not very good between EU & NA (although I do ping something like 105 to New York, but New Yorkers would have something like 10-20 most likely).
  10. I don't think Fitzo will be taking my team so I'll just publish it already. I'm gonna take over the Hamilton Tigers! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_NHL_team_performance_list 5 seasons in pre o6 era Found some pics of jerseys http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-npw_KzXKzGM/TZEA1sk-fKI/AAAAAAAACl8/d9cdlGhekgE/s1600/St%25C3%25A9phane-HAM.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Li9G-fmAUyU/UCHH68Aqf9I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/U-zi3w8sF60/s1600/HamiltonTigers.png http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-21BEfuA-EvA/T_eE7TLIsgI/AAAAAAAAAd4/rMLIVAu4XOQ/s1600/Hamilton+Tigers.png Obviously the newer jerseys don't match the NHL era jerseys, but those are pretty nice too. The official ones below from the 20's era. http://www.nhluniforms.com/DefunctTeams/Tigers4.html (stripes, yikes! ) If it's not approved, I'll just follow in the footsteps of Jarmo Kekäläinen and take Columbus Blue Jackets.
  11. So the teams for nubs to pick from are below? California Golden Seals Winnipeg Jets New Jersey Devils Los Angeles Kings New York Americans Atlanta flames/trashers?
  12. That trade #9 was brutal last year. Just brutal. =)
  13. Is there an all time ADP list somewhere? And like someone said, maybe ADP from the past few-three would be better. I'm merely interested in comparing it to my own list.
  14. Well as it comes to teams, I don't know if it's just me but the California jerseys give me a headache. Shame on the guy who has to play with them. =P
  15. Very excited for the upcoming draft, will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I already have my on draft listing done emphasising certain skills and weight quite a bit, but I'm quite sure players like Swos would give even more emphasis on weight. Even though that list is not something I will follow as a rule, more as a guideline. And being one of the last picks there will be a hard decision to be done, will you go for the forwards or try to get the team to be elite at least something or defence or even goaltending (have huge reservations about goaltending, but could see it work like Raph explained). Anyway the conversations and all are making it seem an exciting upcoming draft. Looking forward to it.
  16. If value derives from position drafted it might not be the best due player preferation and so on, but I don't think there is anything bad with it. It just means it goes under review and admins make sure that the "losing" party here knows what he is doing.
  17. Yeah S/P bias does make sense for having it in the game. You had it in NHL Hockey as well and it was a pretty much port from the Sega systems. Now let's hope someone can answer some of the other questions.
  18. I was wondering about a few things, if anyone knows it would save me some work, which I wouldn't be doing anytime soon. How do the team ratings affect the game or do they at all? Let's take for example Blitz rosters which have 7 (strong) offense, 0 (strong) on defence, 2 (strong) home and 1 (average) away. Has anyone actually taken time to see out how it affects the team if these ratings are reversed for example? Does it affect any way how the offense keeps going or defence? If it does have an affect, it would be kinda cool to choose your own teams team strategy how they approach the game for your and your built teams strenghts, like is it super defensive (weak offense, could imagine that players stay lower in general or is it just weak positioning aka something to enhance awareneses)? Another thing is that has there been any confirmation regarding the off awareness/def awareness bug? We have been playing this NHL95 PC as a manager style, do drafts, make lines and such, it's been fun, but I can't help but notice that some guy with extremely high off awareness always tends to go for short angles and get off poor shots (Bure), where as guys like Larmer and Nemchinov tend to go cross the crease and goal line and get a good angle shots (larmer def awa 100). We've played multiple seasons and this keeps popping out always. Could it really be reversed or could awareness be something that you just combine off/def and play accordingly? I'm looking at some of the GDL draft sheets and there are a few iffy skills for me. I saw someone mention in threads that Rgh is actually Shoot/Pass bias? H/F looks to be high with tough guys who tend to fight more, could this be a skill that was in the previous NHL versions for fighting or does it have any other meaning like tendency to get penalties? What is aggressiviness? If checking is how keen AI goes for the check in default, what meaning does Agr have? You could think Agr is tendency to get a penalty making it a negative skill, or is there even such tendency? Does Agr work together with Chk somehow what kind of a hit you are going for? If anyone can confirm even any of these it would be great.
  19. Our scene has not been that active for years though. Could've affect that and that people catched up here and went past. I'm at least rusty as hell with it still, don't trust myself at all with it. But all good and things to improve.
  20. Some first day thoughts of the game and league after having the experience of playing vs NA players. -The manual goalie is better overall here than in our leagues -The top end talent is wider (this is basically logics, more people playing the game, more top end talent also) -I anticipated that my biggest thing to overcome would be frame 5+ latency games, but I was wrong. It's the fatties on D I'm having real hard time with my lightweight offense. Not used to Bure going down on an instant of a touch, this is something I need to become better with here. It didn't seem that strong when trying out vs AI as it does not check so efficiently. -It's very useful to have a fattie with good shot to go to the parking lot in front of the goalie in Blitz. -Frame 5+ games make B-check harder, but this will surely get better with time as you get more used to it. -Wgh 5 and less player with stick 5 will not shake of the tackles like in normal rosters, this happens with heavier stick 5 (with b-checks too). Unexpected change of the chk formula. -I don't know is it the Blitz rom or are players just better with checking here, this remains to be seen. More people use the B-Check here at least and more efficiently. -It's a great learning experience of the NA NHL94-environment for future leagues. Will be looking forward playing some more and thanks for all who already did so with me! GL. ++ Some very nice connections even though overseas. Frame 4 vs Kingraph & BoKnows, quite insane. Frame 5 vs the rest (one exi vs Plabax was frame 6)
  21. And here come the hungry wolves. We want a waiting list! Put me up as well.
  22. I think I've added everyone up on AIM now from the league, but if not, just add me up harri.nissinen(at)gmail.com . I'll be gladly starting the league this weekend, maybe even today, just gotta take a little more look of the Vancouver lineup and try it out.
  23. Hey Labs, Vancouver definately has better overall depth over Washington this season. It's pretty much a two edged sword. Vancouver is faster with a good offensive combo, but the guys are very light so unless you're good with b-check you're in trouble getting the puck away from the opponent. Washington has all time Blitz ppg leader in Yzerman as the go to guy, also good to build fo future seasons. Add to Yzerman they have some heavier not so good but serviceable guys whom I guess Hokkee picked for a reason for not being good with b-check (just a speculation though). My take is Vancouver is propably the tougher team to play really well but can be more rewarding (also one of my all time favourites with Bure).
  24. My take Gens. There really is just one argument I can make for this. I started playing on PC with NHL Hockey and then NHL95 and they are pretty much the same engine as on the Genesis NHL94 version, it looks the same (ok, 95 had white ice and wider arena, but nhl hockey was exactly like this minus the manual goalie plus more 5hole stinkers and pass shots from a little farther diagnol angle with fast players). This pretty much solves it for me, this also gaps PC players together with the Gens players and you could argue there could be a bigger "audience" for that version. Snes just feels completely different and doesn't even look that much the same, also the physics seem different. If I played with SNES earlier, surely the vote would be different as well.
  25. Nedved did a very nice snipe vs Finland from the short angle as well this year on one of the EHT tournaments, so the wrister is still good. He had one of the strangest shots in NHL Hockey on PC. Shotpower 50 and Accuracy 100. : P
