LA Robbie Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) OK guys. We have 6 confirmed & counting. Attached is the Weight Bug Fixed Classic rom so you can start exhibition games with the new dynamic of the heavy players being more influential. Play some games with your selected team so you can get a feel for which players you want to keep for the season & which you're happy to release. YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT PLAYERS WITH LOW OVERALL SCORES BUT WHO ARE VERY USEFUL WITH THE WEIGHT BUG FIX, SO DON'T TAKE YOUR SELECTIONS LIGHTLY. You can find detailed stats on every player in the game at the Blitz website: http://blitz94.com/draftab/viewplayers.asp The same information is also contained in an Excell file which you'll see on the Blitz website. Probob will be joining me in the commissioner duties so you can hit him up for help too. Basically this is how it works: You need to cut your roster to 6 forwards, 5 defenders & 2 goaltenders. Your selections are limited by the skill cap rules. You'll need to select the players that fit your desired style of play, or perhaps you'll be forced to make tough decisions in order to maintain team balance. In some cases you won't have much choice. You have 4 options for selecting your roster: 1) "THE SICARIUS": 2 x Tier 1 players, 2 x Tier 2 players, 2 x Tier 3 players + Tier 4 players to complete the roster or 2) "THE FREYDEY": 1 x Tier 1 players, 3 x Tier 2 players, 3 x Tier 3 players + Tier 4 players to complete the roster or 3) "THE PLABAX": 0 x Tier 1 players, 4 x Tier 2 players, 4 x Tier 3 players + Tier 4 players to complete the roster or 4) "THE KINGRAPH": 3 x Tier 1 players, 0 x Tier 2 players, 1 x Tier 3 players + Tier 4 players to complete the roster Decide what suits your style, or your roster best. You'll notice below that Chicago posesses 4 Tier 1 players and only 1 Tier 2 player & 1 Tier 3 player, so option 4 might be the best for them. A team like Calgary which I used as a previous example posess no Tier 1 players but a bunch of Tier 2 & 3 players, so option 3 would likely be best for them. You will also be influenced at this initial stage by the needs of the roster. You have to have 2 goalies, and right now there is no option to draft new players, so you have to accept what you've got. The Boston Bruins have two Tier 3 goalies............sorry TexasPachyDerm, you gotta take em both until the first trade/draft window so that's 2 Tier 3 spots used up straight away. Special exceptions: If enough players are not available in a specific tier you can select an extra player from the tier below, so Boston for example only have 1 player in Tier 2. If TexasPachyDerm selects option 1 to structure his roster he can select 1 x Tier 2 players & 3 x Tier 3 players rather than 2 x Tier 2 players & 2 x Tier 3 players. All the rosters of the selected teams are below, along with the player tierings. Make your selections & post them below & Probob & I will check to make sure it all fits into the system. LABS 66: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS Tier 1 players: Lemieux, Jagr, Barrasso Tier 2 players: Kevin Stevens, Larry Murphy, Ulf Samuelsson Tier 3 players: Ron Francis, Kjell Samuelsson Tier 4 players: Mullen, Tocchet, Stanton, McEachern, Taglianetti, Straka, Loney, Tippett, Stapleton, Needham, Daniels, Caulfield, Ramsey, Paek, Jennings, Fogarty, Wregget DARKO99: DETROIT REDWINGS Tier 1 players: Yzerman, Ciccarelli, Coffey Tier 2 players: Fedorov, Cheveldae Tier 3 players: Chiasson, Ysebaert, Lidstrom Tier 4 players: Drake, Ogrodnick, Probert, Racine, Konstantinov, Howe, Sheppard, Gallant, Primeau, Sillinger, Kozlov, Kennedy, Burr, Hiller, Konroyd, McCrimmon, Riendeau TEXASPACHYDERM: BOSTON BRUINS Tier 1 players: Oates, Neely, Bourque Tier 2 players: Gord Murphy Tier 3 players: Ruzicka, Glen Wesley, Don Sweeney, Moog, Blue, Featherston Tier 4 players: Juneau, Kvartalnov, Poulin, Donato, Heinze, Douris, Leach, Pantaleyev, Reid, Young, Hughes, Kimble, Roberts, Shaw, Weimer JAGR68: CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS Tier 1 players: Roenick, Smith, Belfour, Chelios Tier 2 players: Larmer Tier 3 players: Ruutu Tier 4 players: Sutter, Murphy, Graham, Noonan, Goulet, Murray, Gilbert, Jocelyn Lemieux, Rob Brown, Christian, Matteau, Grimson, Marchment, Russell, Keith Brown, Muni, Kucera, Bennett, Waite LUPZ27 - LA KINGS Tier 1 players: Sandstrom, Blake Tier 2 players: Carson, Gretzky, Robitaille, McSorley Tier 3 players: Granato, Zhitnik Tier 4 players: Kurri, Donnelly, Millen, Taylor, Loach, Conacher, Rychel, Shuchuk, Sydor, Huddy, Hardy, Thompson, Watters, Chapdelaine, Hrudey, Stauber, Knickle SKIP - STILL TO CONFIRM TEAM SELECTION Choose carefully because once the season starts you won't have the opportunity to change your roster until halfway through the season!

Probably just enough to be competitive here but then lots of scope for making major improvements in the midseason trade/draft period. Welcome to the league jer!

LA Robbie Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Jer, I need to you to have a look at your roster please. Ive been through the Blitz Average Draft Positions & I make it that your roster is broken up as below. Ken Daneyko comes in at pick 239 on average so he wouldn't be a tier 2 player. Please select your roster again.

Only thing id suggest is experiment with ur roster b4 confirming. U have no need to drop any of ur tiered players but uv left Richardson out. He has a low ovr but is actually v good after the wbf, thus his tier 3 draft position.
