Johnny the med-kit means that the player is injured and his is prone to further injury as well as lowered stats. But Don't EVER Sit Them, doing this is a major drop in moral and they could drop 3 or more overall for years to come with the only solution is to wait 2+ years or to trade at a lowered trade value.
You should get a first line RW. I would suggest you trade yor first and your third pick this year and this young Kasperi Kapanen for Phil Kessel of the Pitsburgh Pinguins. I heard he's very good.
Do these johnny Jvr-kadri-Nylander Michalek-matthews-Marner Lupul-ballsack-komarov Rychel-holland-leivo Trade martins cap for a 3rd or something. Do these so that Matthews gets as much ice time as possible. In actually doing a tml gm mode and Matthews became a 2nd liner 86 overall by the end of the year also fix the pp a bit with Marner-Matthews-jvr Reilly-kadri Nylander-holland-Rychel Gardiner-Carrick The defence is looking good. Also a tip for trading, look for defenceman with low elite potential (Nurse in edm,Bean on Carolina etc) they grow to 85 + within 2-3 yrs for me at the price of only a second tops. Love the series johnny. Go leafs Go!!!! Like so Johnny sees
I think just keeping the team together for a while is the best thing to do, Freddy Anderson has done really well in net and could snag you a playoff spot assuming the rookies continue to grow and produce
Who here would want to see a GM mode with a created team of all previous 2BC GM Allstars? I'm talking a team with Yuri Kapitanov, Pete Walton, Andrew MacFarland, Ernest Ciarelli, Brandon Hope, Lou Morris, Keith Yandle, Hampus Lindholm, any player from 2BC's past GM mode worthy of the Allstar title. I'm probably forgetting a lot of names I shouldn't be, but you get the idea.
Line changes are definitely necessary. Last video I made a comment of line changes and think they'd still apply. Need BALANCE, and to insulate the youngins. JVR-Matthews-Komarov Michalek-Kadri-Nylander Laich-Bozak-Marner 4th line is fine the way it is. but you DO need to edit the lines a bit. Also, no matter what happens, just before the deadline, trade all vets with 1 yr left for picks. its obvious the team isn't quite ready yet, needs more growth and a bit more well rounded roster.
You're missing Nikita Zaistev. Russian right handed D from the KHL that Toronto signed over the summer.. that'll hurt your d-core, not that Toronto's defense isn't already hurting.
Johnny, Talent-wise, I think these Toronto Maple Leafs have what it takes to make the playoffs. Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Rielly are all showing they can get it done. I think you honestly have to help these guys as much as you can on the defensive side of the puck. You must add a young Top 4 D to this core. My suggestion is to add Cam Fowler. The guy is young and fits with what this TML team really needs. He can defend well and is good on the offensive side of the puck. His name has been in the rumor mill this summer so wouldn't be a stretch to see the Ducks make a move. I believe bringing in a guy like Fowler would give the extra help on the back end for Anderson while also adding another PP asset to further help this young core grow. You'd have to give a little bit on this but think it has the potential to be another critical piece of the puzzle on getting the Leafs back to prominence in the NHL. To TOR: To ANA: D Cam Fowler D Frank Corrado RW Nikita Soshnikov 2017 2nd Round Pick 2018 2nd Round Pick Ducks would be getting great cap relief, 2 solid cap-friendly young players and two valuable 2nd round draft picks. Long-time Ducks Getzlaf and Perry aren't getting any younger so you got to think they'd be enticed to grab these picks. Again, you might need to pay a bit more here but this has potential to be a franchise-changing move.
I shot for the playoffs, but stayed with the rebuild philosophy. Keeping the young guns and moving the old vets as I go. Working out great so far! Marner is a beast!
Johnny even if you hit best lines and it changes the captains you can give it back to who you want. Some players may drop in moral but if you give it right back no harm no foul. same thing with the people who gain captaincy, the morals cancel out.
trades that the cpu puts out are getting more realistic every year. rangers keeps wanting Polak and I noticed the rangers GAPG is 3.70 so old lundqvist cant do it on his own anymore. good job EA ill give you props for that
Man I know this is unrelated to the video but if you got any contact with ea, let them know that WE want GM Connected back!! Game mode made a competitive field for friends. Been waiting for it for years now. I'm a nhl vet and don't think I'm going to buy this one because it looks like the same game as 16 with a slightly different feel. Pretty disappointed again the ea nhl games now...really hope they bring back what fans loved
johnny keep an eye on the rookie scoring race! i wanna see how our young guns are faring against the other rookies in the league, and see whos in the lead for the calder trophy
You need to replace Hunwick. You have enough depth in your prospect pool to make a trade for a guy who would fit you team. Jacob Trouba, Cam Fowler, Kevin Shattenkirk are 3 big name guys who are young to fit the age of your team. They've all had trade rumors this summer so It would be realistic for one of these teams to make the trade. At least go look to see if there's anyone who could be a good option.
Anyone notice the CPU not making trades during the season? My settings are correct, but an entire season went by and not a single CPU trade or trade offer to me. Not on trade deadline, draft day, off-season, absolutely none. The did sign FAs in the off-season and one player I saw go through waivers but no trades?!?!
Here's my lines 1st: Same 2nd Mitch Marner -- Austin Mathews -- William Nylander 3rd Lupul -- Bozak -- Michalek 4th Same Defense 1st: Morgan Rielly -- Roman Polak 2nd: Jake Gardiner -- Martin Marincin 3rd: Frankie Corrado -- Connor Carrick Note: Matt Hunwick is a -7 so give him a break and let Corrado get into the 80's too. LSJS
Put the injury occurrence up to 5. Injuries have to happen sometimes and they haven't, really, since you put it down to 1. You were just getting hit by the injury bug hard like every team does at least once a year.
It means that he isnt healed completely. He is 100x more likely to get re injured when the little first aid kit symbol is there. You can scratch him until it says he is fully healed butThe twist is that if you scratch him his morale goes down and his overall goes down.
I would keep Matthews in what line it says his role is. I tried playing him on the 2nd line year one and he grew very little, play him on the 3rd line with other scorers and move him up when his role changes. Spend the money to get players on one year deals that help his growth
Give the guys you want to grow on your AHL team A and C. It gives them a moral boost, and helps them to grow I think. Worked on NHL 16 atleast and doesnt hurt to try
I saw that he changed the lines a bit. how did he decide to put a lower overall higher than a higher overall. I'm kinda new to NHL, so I'm wondering why he did that.
John Dressel because the player with the lower overall is younger and can grow (get a higher overall) the other player was too old to grow anymore. Hope this helps
Evan Blewitt Thanks, it does. I've always liked hockey, but have been a huge football fan my whole life. I'm trying to get into hockey more, and understand it. I also don't like playing games without knowing what im doing, so I need to learn more to play better.
It’s more about specific stats rather than their overall, you’d wanna put a player who has good passing stats on a line with someone who can shoot the puck, this creates good production that can help you win games
are there any gm modes where the uploader plays a few games here and there? i cant find any a lot of youtubers seem to just sim all the games. which is fine just not my preference
Switch your 2nd line for your 3rd line, your 3rd is doing pretty good so you could give them more play time ! BTW the slow sim for divisional game is awesome, keep up the good work !
Johnny its not your year you could make those trades with polak and michalek for those 2nds or combine them and someone else for a 1st and move matthews and marner to the 2nd line instead of bozak and nylander because bozak only has 7 points in 23 games and it will help marner and matthews grow if u do that and u could draft either a defenseman or matthew strome early in the draft PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE VIDEO *GO CANUCKS*
Keep the team the way it is until the deadline. if its clear that you wont make the playoffs then trade the older players with 1-2 years left on their deal for drafts picks or prospects. They dont have to be traded for 1st rounders cause i doubt itd be realistic that lupul would be worth a 1st rounder ( let alone a second lol) but id trade them away because you have young guys that should have grown enough to be at least bottom 6 forwards or bottom 4 dmen next season. Also you never know who will be available in free agency.
Nylander, Marner, Matthews each grew by 2 overall. So they are growing and you do not have to put Nylander down but you could. Can you show the player progression next video?
Johnny. Trade for either Lawson Crouse or Dylan Strome. You need prospects that can play in the NHL now. Picture your top 2 lines about 5 or 6 years in as Crouse-Matthews-Marner Rychel-Strome-Nylander
Not sure if this is a glitch or it just happened to me but I turned my injury slides down to like 10. Then played the next day and saw that they were back at 50 even tho I saved the game?
Take j Pitt I believe his name is in year one or 2 he is a medium franchise and goes in the top 5 he maybe year 3 tho I don't know for sure. Yes I know you have Anderson but pitt has nearly full trade value and you could get a stud defender of top winger or centre
Trade Kadri, freddy the goat and 2018 first pick to NYI for Hamonic and Pulock. Use Matthews Bozak and Holland as your core Centers while you strengthen your D core heavily with size and skill for the now and the future. 2nd line centers are easier to get as apposed to sold D men. Both are right shots as well to compliment Reilly and Gardiner.
Johnny the med-kit means that the player is injured and his is prone to further injury as well as lowered stats. But Don't EVER Sit Them, doing this is a major drop in moral and they could drop 3 or more overall for years to come with the only solution is to wait 2+ years or to trade at a lowered trade value.
like so Johnny see's
But putting them on 3rd line/top 6 defense for a game or 2
I don't think this is true
Einar Lillkåll never thought of that

ebeegeebe hilarious
Anyone think that on next GM mode he should create a team and try and build it up? Maybe something a bit new.
YES
Omg that's a great idea
Yes plz
I really like it idea but I just feel it would take mad long to build it up tbh
Like an expansion team? Is that something you can do?
Johnny do draft champions like so he sees
You should get a first line RW. I would suggest you trade yor first and your third pick this year and this young Kasperi Kapanen for Phil Kessel of the Pitsburgh Pinguins. I heard he's very good.
Do a Canucks gm next pls
yes
yep
Bring the fist cup to cunucks
He already did vancouver?
I think it was his only GM Career where he didn't win a cup
Play Brooks Laich instead of Peter Holland, he's got good defensive stats and could help your PK
Laich also has better face offs.
Do these johnny
Jvr-kadri-Nylander
Michalek-matthews-Marner
Lupul-ballsack-komarov
Rychel-holland-leivo
Trade martins cap for a 3rd or something. Do these so that Matthews gets as much ice time as possible. In actually doing a tml gm mode and Matthews became a 2nd liner 86 overall by the end of the year also fix the pp a bit with
Marner-Matthews-jvr
Reilly-kadri
Nylander-holland-Rychel
Gardiner-Carrick
The defence is looking good. Also a tip for trading, look for defenceman with low elite potential (Nurse in edm,Bean on Carolina etc) they grow to 85 + within 2-3 yrs for me at the price of only a second tops.
Love the series johnny. Go leafs Go!!!!
Like so Johnny sees
I think just keeping the team together for a while is the best thing to do, Freddy Anderson has done really well in net and could snag you a playoff spot assuming the rookies continue to grow and produce
Need a top 4 d man if the leafs want a playoff push
John if u click right stick there's a screen there somewhere that will tell u the top upcoming prospects, their position, and region
yes my fan art made the video!
The fifth one was mine.
mine was third!
whered u submit it?
I put it on Twitter
Ender there was no fifth. Did you mean fourth
play matthews on the second line it's better for his development
It's Josh "Lee-Vo" and Brendan "Lie-P-Sick" like so Johnny can see
Who here would want to see a GM mode with a created team of all previous 2BC GM Allstars? I'm talking a team with Yuri Kapitanov, Pete Walton, Andrew MacFarland, Ernest Ciarelli, Brandon Hope, Lou Morris, Keith Yandle, Hampus Lindholm, any player from 2BC's past GM mode worthy of the Allstar title. I'm probably forgetting a lot of names I shouldn't be, but you get the idea.
RAIMOOOOOOO
Omg yes my life would be fucking completed if he does this!
Gemel Smith
Johnny back in NHL 16 Chabot grew to 92 overall for me
94 for me
same
That's NHL 16 not 17
Please turn on the setting where you can set ticket prices ect again. It brings a fun aspect to the video.
wheres Nikita Zaitsev
Line changes are definitely necessary. Last video I made a comment of line changes and think they'd still apply.
Need BALANCE, and to insulate the youngins.
JVR-Matthews-Komarov
Michalek-Kadri-Nylander
Laich-Bozak-Marner
4th line is fine the way it is.
but you DO need to edit the lines a bit. Also, no matter what happens, just before the deadline, trade all vets with 1 yr left for picks. its obvious the team isn't quite ready yet, needs more growth and a bit more well rounded roster.
Nice! Love to see 2bc managing the Leafs!
who's going to a World cup of hockey game??
I'm going to Canada/Czech and North America/Russia
Alex Claus Cool I went to a bunch of 2018 playoff games did ya enjoy ur games??
having the real time sim every divisional game of a month just slows everything down to a craw so i would advise to not do it just my opinion
What about a JVR MATTHEWS MARNER LINE? I
Think that would be good.
You're missing Nikita Zaistev. Russian right handed D from the KHL that Toronto signed over the summer.. that'll hurt your d-core, not that Toronto's defense isn't already hurting.
Johnny,

To TOR: To ANA:
D Cam Fowler D Frank Corrado
RW Nikita Soshnikov
2017 2nd Round Pick
2018 2nd Round Pick
Ducks would be getting great cap relief, 2 solid cap-friendly young players and two valuable 2nd round draft picks. Long-time Ducks Getzlaf and Perry aren't getting any younger so you got to think they'd be enticed to grab these picks. Again, you might need to pay a bit more here but this has potential to be a franchise-changing move.
I guess you forgot about that the lighting and panthers are in the leafs division
I shot for the playoffs, but stayed with the rebuild philosophy. Keeping the young guns and moving the old vets as I go. Working out great so far! Marner is a beast!
The injury occurrence slider only effects in game play
Johnny even if you hit best lines and it changes the captains you can give it back to who you want. Some players may drop in moral but if you give it right back no harm no foul. same thing with the people who gain captaincy, the morals cancel out.
trades that the cpu puts out are getting more realistic every year. rangers keeps wanting Polak and I noticed the rangers GAPG is 3.70 so old lundqvist cant do it on his own anymore. good job EA ill give you props for that
That white background and shit is throwing me off, looks so simple and plain lmao
It's so much cleaner than black
+Skylightt I'm gonna be that one guy
RAISEST
Im gonna be that second guy
SPELLING!!
Man I know this is unrelated to the video but if you got any contact with ea, let them know that WE want GM Connected back!! Game mode made a competitive field for friends. Been waiting for it for years now. I'm a nhl vet and don't think I'm going to buy this one because it looks like the same game as 16 with a slightly different feel. Pretty disappointed again the ea nhl games now...really hope they bring back what fans loved
In my Be A Pro, Luongo got traded to San Jose, and then proceeded to win the Cup for the 2016-17 season.
You actually nailed the "Liljgren" pronuciation. Good job
johnny, i love the idea of real-time divisional sims!!
johnny do not do 6 weeks in scouting do 3-4 it will get you to a lot more places ti scout and get you way more depth drafting
Is it possible that the I injury occurrence you edited is only for gameplay?
Johnny, go to all events after you sim a game. It will show you the goals (and who assisted) for both teams. Just like the old gen gm mode!
All I remember from NHL16 was when Malcom Subban put the team on your back but lost in the finals
Johnny bring back Gta racing with a stream.. honestly so much fun to watch and a good way to interact with fans...
A goalies save percentage also goes up in this game with a better team and defense, less dangerous shots.
johnny keep an eye on the rookie scoring race! i wanna see how our young guns are faring against the other rookies in the league, and see whos in the lead for the calder trophy

They've all had trade rumors this summer so It would be realistic for one of these teams to make the trade. At least go look to see if there's anyone who could be a good option.
Injury sliders might be tied to actual gameplay only like in madden. The sliders dont affect simmed games
Why does Zach Hyman look like Johnny Manziel?
Anyone notice the CPU not making trades during the season? My settings are correct, but an entire season went by and not a single CPU trade or trade offer to me. Not on trade deadline, draft day, off-season, absolutely none. The did sign FAs in the off-season and one player I saw go through waivers but no trades?!?!
Id like to see the kings perform like they do in this gm mode
Here's my lines
1st: Same
2nd Mitch Marner -- Austin Mathews -- William Nylander
3rd Lupul -- Bozak -- Michalek
4th Same
Defense
1st: Morgan Rielly -- Roman Polak
2nd: Jake Gardiner -- Martin Marincin
3rd: Frankie Corrado -- Connor Carrick
Note: Matt Hunwick is a -7 so give him a break and let Corrado get into the 80's too.
LSJS
The Angels BlueJays game today was swarmed with Jays fans and I talked to one about the Freddy Anderson trade that gave us Bernier lol
Face reveal at 250 000
subs
face reveal at 1 mil
face reveal tomorrow.
Shoot out is
1. 4.
2. 5.
3.
That's what I always thought
I don't like how you have two series with the same team Toronto
Please keep these coming! I want to see you get far into GM Mode
Kris Russel didn't wanna come to Toronto cause he didn't wanna get killed by all the shots he would have to block
Mathews is 82 overall. It's time to put him on the first line Johnny he's improving super fast he can reach 87 by the end of the year
Guess that guy who made the versteeg post, didnt know that versteeg has already won the stanley cup twice with the hawks
Damn, Johnny has been on an upload streak and I am definitely not complaining.
damn johnny back at it again with more videos
Did anyone else notice that on the trade block the stars measure potential? what happened to them taking away the stars
Should check the stats central and progress reports at the end of each month.
Looks like 17 is not an usual EA game. It is decent apparently.
Put the injury occurrence up to 5. Injuries have to happen sometimes and they haven't, really, since you put it down to 1. You were just getting hit by the injury bug hard like every team does at least once a year.
It means that he isnt healed completely. He is 100x more likely to get re injured when the little first aid kit symbol is there. You can scratch him until it says he is fully healed butThe twist is that if you scratch him his morale goes down and his overall goes down.
Hey Johnny. Just wanted to let you know that you are doing a killer job so far. Lou says he knows your a devil of a gm.
by the way, Kris Versteeg is trying out for the Oilers this year! :)
in HUT i already have a line of Wendell Clark-Gilmour-Sittler the leaf dream!
The medkit beside a player means they are healthy enough to play but they're not 100% healed.
I would keep Matthews in what line it says his role is. I tried playing him on the 2nd line year one and he grew very little, play him on the 3rd line with other scorers and move him up when his role changes. Spend the money to get players on one year deals that help his growth
Give the guys you want to grow on your AHL team A and C. It gives them a moral boost, and helps them to grow I think. Worked on NHL 16 atleast and doesnt hurt to try
Thanks for a another
New intro?
suggested lines: JVR Kadri Komarov
Michalek Matthews Marner
Martin Bozak Nylander
Greeening Laich Soshikov
def
Reilly Gardiner
Hunwick Zaitsev
Marincin Polak
I saw that he changed the lines a bit. how did he decide to put a lower overall higher than a higher overall. I'm kinda new to NHL, so I'm wondering why he did that.

It’s more about specific stats rather than their overall, you’d wanna put a player who has good passing stats on a line with someone who can shoot the puck, this creates good production that can help you win games
I've never seen you mess with the strategies? Maybe try changing up the line strategies and PP unit strategy.
are there any gm modes where the uploader plays a few games here and there? i cant find any a lot of youtubers seem to just sim all the games. which is fine just not my preference
Switch your 2nd line for your 3rd line, your 3rd is doing pretty good so you could give them more play time ! BTW the slow sim for divisional game is awesome, keep up the good work !
I really want an elgato to do my own franchise mode commentary 😞 why do they have to be so expensive
Why do not you created the Las Vegas NHL franchise? Or you would playing Chicago.
Johnny its not your year you could make those trades with polak and michalek for those 2nds or combine them and someone else for a 1st and move matthews and marner to the 2nd line instead of bozak and nylander because bozak only has 7 points in 23 games and it will help marner and matthews grow if u do that and u could draft either a defenseman or matthew strome early in the draft PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE VIDEO *GO CANUCKS*

Also you never know who will be available in free agency.
have you guys noticed lag in this mode? It happened to me a hour ago so I stopped playing.
Nylander, Marner, Matthews each grew by 2 overall. So they are growing and you do not have to put Nylander down but you could. Can you show the player progression next video?
When I was playing my copy of the game my team played Ottawa and we injured 3 of there players 😂
Johnny. Trade for either Lawson Crouse or Dylan Strome. You need prospects that can play in the NHL now. Picture your top 2 lines about 5 or 6 years in as
Crouse-Matthews-Marner
Rychel-Strome-Nylander
Not sure if this is a glitch or it just happened to me but I turned my injury slides down to like 10. Then played the next day and saw that they were back at 50 even tho I saved the game?
Hahaha little did Johnny know at the time but we did end up with liljegrin
Can you show the rookie stats, is Laine or Puljujärvi dominating?
Love the divisional rival real time sim good idea Jonny
Where did road to the show go?
the newest nhl game came out for the nhl channel... itll come back, just be patient
you need a right defensive defenseman that will help the +/- of the others Dman and would help your P.K and Andersen
Lol Johnny you miss that both Florida teams are divisional rivals
Hey guys, can u tell why commentators dont say names like Laine,Matthews etc. when they socre goal or got puck?
i really want u to play, just play on the ice. don't sim as much. but! it's still awesome.
Take j Pitt I believe his name is in year one or 2 he is a medium franchise and goes in the top 5 he maybe year 3 tho I don't know for sure. Yes I know you have Anderson but pitt has nearly full trade value and you could get a stud defender of top winger or centre
add dadonov take his stats from world cup and put him in the game
Trade Kadri, freddy the goat and 2018 first pick to NYI for Hamonic and Pulock. Use Matthews Bozak and Holland as your core Centers while you strengthen your D core heavily with size and skill for the now and the future. 2nd line centers are easier to get as apposed to sold D men. Both are right shots as well to compliment Reilly and Gardiner.
Johnny why did you not make Nikita Zaitsev for your team?
Lol imagine that Chabot trade nowadays
Anyone else watching this cuz Johnny rarely uploads anymore
Do Carolina or New Jersey next, they are the perfect teams as they do not have the rosters to win a cup nor the prospects to do so in the future yet.
he did Jersey but I am not sure about Carolina
other youtubers are doing both carolina and new jersey.
