1669 points in 696 games with the Oilers. That's how. 2.397 points per game! 1,188 in 791 games or 1.501 points per game, post-Oilers, is still pretty stupid good. But, the deal he and Pocklington made with the league to stay in Edmonton on his "personal service contract" with Pocklington ("personal service contracts" were a WHA construct, they have never existed in the NHL) and avoid going to the Colorado Rockies in the 1979 draft is how he did it. Colorado had Lanny MacDonald, who was pissed off about being in Colorado (he was traded there by Harold Ballard's Leafs for not much of anything, to punish Leafs captain Darryl Sittler who was in Ballard's doghouse). You put Gretzky on a 3-year entry level contract in Colorado instead of Edmonton, Oh, and with Pocklington being broke and all, Gretzky never sees time on the Oilers later either after hitting RFA status. He's still damn good, he's Gretzky, but I promise you he's not touching 200 points in Colorado (165-170 seems reasonable, he's still Wayne Gretzky! but he had 4 200+ point seasons in Edmonton, you bring those down to 160-175, that's a lot of points gone right there.) At one point in the video "Stick On The Ice" mentions his franchise player needing to be over 140 points every year, after he had a 95 point season because "Stick On The Ice" left him off some powerplay and penalty kill lines, which killed his ice time. Gretzky had 2,857 regular season NHL points. if you average 140 points a year (or 1.707 per game) you'd have to do that consecutively for 1,675 straight games to hit 2,858 points, that's 20.4 82-game seasons without missing any games, scoring 1.707 points per game. 1 95 point season destroys that chance, Gretzky had 137 points in his NHL rookie year. Essentially by being allowed to keep Gretzky on the "personal service contract" Peter Pocklington and the Oilers helped Gretzky avoid the 1979 NHL Draft, eliminated his "growing pains" by letting him be what should have been a #1 draft pick, but staying on a team that wasn't close to the worst in the league. In today's league, most if not all #1 picks have to spend a couple of seasons on teams that are awful before they get out of their rookie deals and can look for RFA deals with teams that don't suck (there can be exceptions if teams get lucky and get multiple high picks in a row, i.e. Pittsburgh getting Malkin at #2 in 2004, then having their tank jobs work out and Getting Crosby at #1 in 2005, and Staal in 2006 after staying at #2.... the other example being the Oilers winning the #1 pick in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015, by either moving up or not moving down is insane, the odds of that are astronomical), but even back in the 1980's when teams could tank for a guaranteed #1 pick (i.e. Pittsburgh getting Mario Lemieux #1 in 1984, was 100% planned) it usually took teams a few years to actually rebuild a team after that because good established players were generally not part of "tank jobs" even in the old NHL. Lemieux had 100 points in his rookie year, but that's a far cry from 137.
why not just edit all the players to minimum overall & have 1 99 overall who plays every second of the game with high shots & high scoring on with guys that only have 99 passing & 15 passing tendency?
28:45 if a elite/franchise player is asking for a ridiculous amount in the summer, just wait until free agency the next summer and sign them as an RFA, their asking price always goes down (unless they have a crazy year or if you’re already in the late 2030s lol)
Love your vids bro. I love NHL franchise but it makes me so mad🤣 love being able to watch someone else do it. Would love to know your setup settings, and maybe some tips/important things to do in Franchise, it’s a bit tricky for a beginner.
I think you need high franchise because that's what Gretzky was. Which is not really possible through a draft. Well, it is but not likely. But you did a good job staying within reality as much as you could. Didn't give him 50 minutes per night.
I tried your 100 goal challenge myself and the easiest way was to put a power forward onto every single line except PK and to double shift him, I managed to get cale makar and Quinn Hughes and also double shifted them
I think you needed Riley to play every line minutes. 1st line 2nd line 3rd line and 4th line minutes would probably do it. He needs to average 160+ points a season. I remember someone did it with mcdavid and he got him on every line to do so.
Rebuild Idea; take a team (my Habs?) and you can only use what they have and what you draft, no trades no FA signings. 1 teams prospect pool/roster players and your drafting.
I accidentally had a player who beat gretzkys record in NHL 22 and i didnt even realize I check my team record for point and he had 2900 And i got him in the 4th round too (low franchise)
Power forwards score more points than playmakers, not only goals. having good playmaking linemates allows the offense to mainly go to one player. if the linemates sucked the production of the player attempting to break the points record would be less
@@EvanKiernanMusic yeah but one player can’t score every single goal on a line, if he a sniper and a playmaker on his line he could be scoring goals and getting a bunch of assists too. With him finding only passing teammates, it’s just a recreation of his 100 goal video
49:16 lmao defenseman named "A. Goalie" :D
Too bad he couldn't be moved to goalie.
"wow i actually didnt get screwed over this time" *immediatly trades the pick*
1:02:31 Hagelin had 77 goals out of 963 points, shoulda def picked that guy up holy apple machine
Need to use a center so you get assists when your d-men score on offensive zone draws.
every like is one push-up
Every like is one shut the fuck up
For who you
Per day for a year
115 push-ups?
@@Mason-we8gz yup but i guess i gotta do 17 more
Dude as a new hockey fan this really puts into perspective how freaking insane that man was. HOW DO U AVERAGE 1.92 POINTS PER GAME IN A 20 YEAR CAREER
as a new hockey fan who got instantly addicted i can certainly say he’s the greatest player in team sports ever. 8 mvps in a row is ridiculous

Ty for the information
Playing in the 80s; where goalie hardly tried, surely helped. Being talented doesn't hurt either.
1:01 thats a huge surprise not getting #3😂
why not just play him on every line? you can get like 280+ points a season lol.
That’s probably cheating in his book
Deffy cheating
Where’s the fun in that?

You should do a video where you build a Stanley cup winning team with 3rd round picks or later ONLY
4:35 Ottawa jumped from 14-4 DAMN
yo can you do a vid on how you are so good at franchise mode, like an in depth guide
This would be an awesome video
0:26 pretty simple.” Yeah it’s simple

Watching the end of this video is like seeing Crosby miss the playoffs for these 2 years
watching while I work 💪🏻
Respect 😁👍

Unrealistic game.
If u don't like a Stick on the Ice video before you've even seen one second of it don't speak to me
Would be cool to see you try and rebuild/build a team by only drafting one player a season.
That would be a long ass video, but would be cool
@@randomentertainment4102 thank you 🙂
this is the best type of soti vid
Averaging a goal per game is wild
17:09 how the hell did you get Lane Hutson, even with updated rosters I still don’t have him
13:45 I wonder if Almquist would outscore Stewart if you and the Elks kept him
I think you needed Riley to play every line minutes. 1st line 2nd line 3rd line and 4th line minutes would probably do it. He needs to average 160+ points a season. I remember someone did it with mcdavid and he got him on every line to do so.

I had no idea potential could go up
27:35 that would’ve been a bit of a gamble if you chose him
Turn offsides off. Yes it effects the simulation, and it makes this challenge comparitively trivial.
Ironically, Gretzky played with the two line pass rule. So he had even more challenges than offsides
yo i know a guy who plays hockey named riley stewart, but not the one in the video
should do the bill russell challenge with the elks
#1youtuber bro is the best and f the caps 😤
capital letters and overrated
128 points isn’t gonna cut it💀
How do you turn your draft class up
What settings are you using to get that many goals and points. I set sim scoring to high and still the best player in the league only gets 110 points.
I accidentally had a player who beat gretzkys record in NHL 22 and i didnt even realize I check my team record for point and he had 2900
And i got him in the 4th round too (low franchise)
In it for the long run
U should've played Stewart on every forward lines to break the record
You should try to break the win record with a goaltender
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING REBUILD PLEASEEE!!!!!!
why did you never play the franchise ply on the first line?
Just put him on every line
If you put Lahti on his line I think he could have done it
Why didn’t Lahti play in the first line?
next time play him on every forward line
you can do that?
Is retaining salary only a next gen thing? If not can someone tell me how to do it?
Press Y or Triangle when hovering over the player you want salary retained on inside of the trade menu
Trades on easy?? Every time I try to trade up to 1 for a franchise player it takes me like 4 1sts
Bro why aren’t you an actual nhl gm
why not use snipers instead of power forwards?
Listening to this in 0.25 speed is hilarious
STOP TRADING AT THE DRAFT FOR PICKS. Lol if you trade for the player, the trade is much easier
wow
Hi
i cant stand nhl 24 worst game of all time idk how you can play it 😂
Why do you care if his lines can score? This is a points challenge not a goal challenge. Its easier to get more assists than goals.
Because he’s an idiot
