Rasmus Dahlin is supposed to be the can't miss #1 Overall Pick in 2018, touted as the next Erik Karlsson. Plays in the Swedish Elite League. Definitely should be a High Elite offensive defenseman. Pastrnak is having a career year, should be boosted in either overall, potential, or both. Austin Czarnik is having a good season in Boston, he should be an everyday player at least. Konecny probably deserves a slight overall boost. Those were just the few I noted. Additionally, I know that a guy like Kailer Yamamoto is supposed to be a Top 10 pick in 2017, but ends up with High Top 6 AHL F potential, that should be edited, and potentially adding a US HS guy like Casey Middlestadt would be a good idea for the Year 1 Draft.
That's fair. He definitely is a generational defenseman, he looked really good in the WJC as a 16 year old defenseman, and has been dominant at times as a 16 year old in the highest Swedish Elite League. Kid's unreal.
Sebastian Aho from Carolina!! Make sure he is atleast a 82/83 overall with atleast top 6 potential. He has been one of the better players for Carolina this season!
Edmonton's Adam Larsson should be strong physically, defensively and capable of moving the puck. Don't make him so strong so as to be undisciplined because he is that steady shutdown guy.
Matt Benning is already a capable player similar to Sekera's style. I would suggest he gets a boost to 80-82(at best). Maroon has played a solid year. Deserves a little finisher ability. He has a small jump in his step in comparison to his in-game character. You may have already done that since I noticed he was an 84. Caggiula is a capable player. He plays a hard game. He's not a huge point producer. He should have a higher defensive ability and physicality since he has carried the third line centre role really well. Bring him around 80-82. Truth is that Edmonton has had depth all year. When people have gone down, there has always been someone who can step in and play. Pitlick, Lander, Pakarinen, Davidson, Gryba, Fayne, and Nurse all stepped in at one point and weren't detrimental. I think these minor tweaks will be more like their current placement in the standings. When I had Gustavsson I noticed he played nearly as much as Talbot even though he is terrible. Not much you can do about that. I don't know if giving Talbot a higher endurance would help or what. I feel like the fix would be too experimental.
You're missing Colin White to Ottawa!!!!!! He's probably a medium elite 2 way centre. Bob Mackenzie loves the guy, and can't stop comparing him to Bergeron.
On Ottawa, Downgrade Bobby to at least 86. Downgrade Ceci to about 81-82, Smith should be an 84 at least. Karlsson a 93. And make sure Colin White and Chabot get upgrades. And also upgrade Mike Condon to about 84-85
Alright Edmonton NEEDS to be boosted. They are a different team this year. Leon Draisaitl has 33 points on the year right now, he deserves to be at least 87 overall. Patrick Maroon has also been a beast for us this year with his 14 goals on the year, his offensive category should be boosted to make him at least 85 overall minimum Next Matthew Benning has been on our top pair of defencemen as of late and deserves at least 83 overall Lastly McDavid has been leading the ENTIRE LEAGUE in points, give him 94 overall, to counter act this lower eberle to 84 overall since he has had a shitty season. (Lower his toughness and balance, he's like a twig out there)
Leon Draisaitl -------> 87 Connor McJesus --> 94 Patrick Maroon -----> 86 Matthew Benning ---> 83 Jordan Eberle --------> 84 Also Drake Caggiula has been good for us this year to, I would raise him to 80 overall (increase his shot, watch his first goal it was a bullet)
Johnny I just want to thank you so much for all of this great content. I realized how much time putting out multiple 30 minute videos a week must take. I just want to say good job
On the Bruins: Make Colin Miller better. 82-83, Med Top-6 Make David Pastrnak better. 86-87, High Top-6 Make Brandon Carlo better. 82-83, High Top-4 Make Jimmy Hayes worse overall wise 79-80

Anderson MacDonald, LW, Sherbrooke (QMJHL) - High Top 6 Just includes players that are currently in the game, there's players such as Mittelstadt, Tolvanen, Kostin, Pettersson, Poehling, Makar, Oettinger, and Svechnikov (2018) than can be created but that's rather time consuming. Like so Johnny sees
BPH Graphics & Gaming Your telling that 3 players in this years draft are better than Matthews and Laine in terms of potential??? i say no way to that there has been little to no knews about anyone for this draft year but last year these guys where talked almost every week after WJC no one should be higher than med Elite for the draft
BPH Graphics & Gaming okay I agree with it than. However Johnny didnt change them to that potentail so I would either state that for him to see, or change it so that your compairing the draft player to the potential of Laine and Matthews in his game.
Dalton Janzen How are they not Franchise? All three of those players are gonna be considered among the top of their position for years, in three years their base overall in the NHL games could all be above 92, how is that not deserving of Franchise potential?
Please create Colin White for the Ottawa Senators. He is not there because he plays in college currently. He is a big part of the future of the franchise. Great videos, keep it up!
Montreal Fan here! Arthuri Lehkonen is the next big name on the roster. He puts puck in the next on a regular basis. Should be a High Top 6 Forward with like 83 Ovr and Phillip Danault should be Medium Top 6 with 84 Ovr. These are the two in Montreal that NEED a boost.
Lol he's not even on pace for 25 points.. calm down making him a 83 overall all good as Jerome iginla among others. Arturri only has 8 goals & 2 assists in 31 games. Bozak has 24 points in 36 games for comparisons sake and making Arturri 85 overall would be saying he and the veteran bozak are equally good and that's not fair. Arturri is an 80-81 overall medium top 9 max with a tiny boost to his shooting being fair.
radulov 88 or 89 byron 83 he's really good (underated) lekhonen 81 low top 6 danault 83 med top 9 put sergachev med elite plekanec down to 83 he's doin nothinhg desharnais down to 81 shaw down to 83 emelin up to 86
you do realize pastranak is like 5th in goals in nhl, marchand is top 21 in nhl in points, put chara down like wtf and raise krug to like 87-88 hes really good this year, lower jimmy hayes and riley nash, colin miller and brandon carlo up a bit up,
Litt1e.Brendan lower Hayes Miller (both) and Nash. Raise Krug 1 or 2 points, Pasta to a low elite, or high t6 and Marchands defense just a touch(been a very effective PK'er)
a few other things for the Stars -Lehtonen needs to be 70 overall, same with Nemo -Jordie Benn needs to be 36 overall -Sharp's shooting needs to be in the 60's -Janmark has to be dead -Oleksiak needs 99 deking (look up Oleksiak goal vs St. Louis, it's amazing) -and John Klingberg's defensive awareness needs to be 75 I'm a Stars fan btw
Johnny you HAVE to be the Montreal Canadiens. The club has so many prospects who are not being used correctly, ie. Scherbak, McCarron, DLR, Lindgren. It would great to see you develop the young team while trading away older useless players like Desharnais. Also it would be HILARIOUS and ironic that you turn Montreal into a dynasty after you just made Toronto into one! Please do Montreal!!!!!!
Colin White for Ottawa Trent Frederic for Boston Dennis Cholowski for Detroit should all be created and be either top 6 F or top 4 D. They're all 2016 first round picks.
For the sens, maybe create Colin White (two way forward) as a med or low top 6 and change Thomas Chabot to high top 4 or low elite. Make the overalls so that they have a chance to make the team next year (74-78 range).
Horvat should be a low elite 87 overall player. Why? Because when was the last time a player had more points than the sedins in Canucks. If u guy think that's stupid, go watch the 6 game winning streak that the Canucks were on and look at how Horvat was playing!
You know what I'd like to see? Bring back the Atlanta Thrashers! Take the Winnipeg roster, and farm team, and give them the Thrashers logo. Is that even possible in NHL 17?
On the Red Wings, Anthony Mantha has played really well this year (11 goals, 19 points in 25 games with a +11) and is playing on the top line along side of Zetterberg and Tatar. I'd say he should be at least 83-84 overall. Also with every franchise mode I play in NHL 17 I can't grow him over 84 overall so you may want to look at changing his potential from low elite to something else. Other than that I think the rosters look real good.
Up Viktor Arvidsson's overall (and maybe potential) on the Nashville Predators. He's second on their team in points. And up Kevin Fiala on the Preds. Also up Juuse Saros to be the backup goalie in Nashville. Up his potential. He is 3-3-1 (mostly because Nashville can't score) with a 1.29 GAA and .955 SV%. And move Reid Boucher on Nashville to Vancouver, that is where he is playing.
love the content and the time you put into this update! just wondering if you could briefly show the ratings for the players you've created. ie; jost fabbro, etc as I would love to have them in my game thanks
I would create Colin White. he's a NCAA prospect of the Ottawa Senators. He had a phenomenal World Junior Tournament and will be a big piece of their roster going forward.
I was about to write this too, but I'm glad I read down the comments. Mantha is one of the only consistent players on the Wings right now. At least someone else agrees with me.
I'm not surprised about that. EA also left Pavel Datsyuk on the Coyotes and every roster update doesn't remove him. I'm happy Johnny removed him from his roster. The other person I thought could get a slight boost is Athanasiou. He's only 80 in the game, but he could be bumped to like 82 or 83. He has the speed and hands to get a bump.
I only know about Ottawa's players: Colin white should be in the game, he had a great world juniors Jonathan dahlen is the swedish guy and he also had a great tournament and isn't there Increase anderson by 1 or 2 Decrease bobby ryan by 1 or 2 Ryan dzingel should be like an 83-84 Karlsson should be increased to a 94 Ceci's potential down to low top 4 Also: Make st.louis better Winnipeg worse Edmonton better Boston better Toronto worse (don't fanboy them) florida worse minnisota SLIGHTLY worse (maybe dubnyk to a 90) Can't wait for you to use edmonton in this GM mode
For the Ottawa Senators, put Colin White in the game. He's a real top prospect for them. Also I hope you made Thomas Chabot better after the World Junior he had.
Liljegren should have high elite potential along with Rasmus Dahlin, Joe veleno and Nolan Patrick. None of them grow passed 82 but they are 4 out of the next 6 top 3 picks in 2017 & 2018
Canucks roster edits: Horvat- Keep him at 86 overall with medium elite potential(he's leading the Canucks in goals and points and he's their best prospect) Stecher- Make him an 83-84 with medium top 4 Baertschi- Make him an 84-85 with med top 6 potential(he has the second most goals on the Canucks) Granlund- Make him an 83-84 with low top 6 potential
You should add Colin White to the game, he was arguably USA's best player at the World Juniors and Chabot also deserves a boost, he was the MVP of the entire World Juniors tournament
A few changes: 1. Find out what happened with the Oilers and McDavid (and fix it) 2. Make St Louis better and Winnipeg worse 3. Lower the Kings and Doughty 4. Lower the Leafs (a bit) 5. Make the Metro better. Mainly Columbus and Philadelphia. 6. Capitals need a few changes. Holtby needs to be boosted, Carlson needs to be lowered, and Niskanen needs to be boosted. Also, Jay Beagle needs to be boosted ALOT. He is one of the best 4th liners and penalty killers in the league. (6 goals, 9 assists, 15 points, +11)
I saw you had Charlie McAvoy on the Bruins. If you put the prospects in the juniors and set their contracts to $0 for 0 years, the game will make them unsigned rookies
Here are some suggestions: - Change that hedman potential, it's a little too high and unrealistic - I would make Taylor Hall even higher than 90 overall, as he is up with a lot of the top players in the league and I believe that needs to be recognized. - Jeff Carter and Joe Pavelski are two guys who should be increased. - Anze Kopitar is unrealistically good at 93 overall, I don't think he merits that kind of overall - Edit Thomas Chabot if you haven't already These are just small things though, everything else looks really good. I especially love all the new players that you made from the Colleges, that'll be a great addition. Really excited for the new series. Glad to be getting away from the LEafs tbh!
Raise Jeff Carter to like a 91 - 92 ovr with a boosted shooting category because he is like second in the NHL in goals. and i would look at the players on the Canadian, Russian, and American WJC teams
I really don't think Werenski should have a 89 overall, that's like saying he's better then Ekblad already which he definitely isn't. I think he should be 85-87. Also lower Laines shooting, he's good but since he has the high elite potential it'll grow to that in a year or two so just lower it by about 2-3 ratings each category. Also you should add Rasmus Dahlin a 16 year old projected number 1 pick in 2018 he's a Swedish Defenceman
For the Oilers Mcdavid-94 (and fix his portential ya goof) Draisaitl-87-88 (hes a good goal scorer but not very fast) Maroon-85-87 (hes leading our team with 16 goals, and he fought chara, what a beast) Klefbomb-87 (hes like our franchise defensivemen, up his shooting cuz hes really good on the pp and he shoots alot) Larsson-87 (up his physical and defensive especially body checking and shot blocking) Pouliot-78 (make penalty pouliots disicpline like 3 i swear to god hell have 60 pim without a single fight) Oilers fan for 8 years please see this johnny
I think you should make Barrie better. Also, Buchnevich (NYR) should be low elite or medium top 6, and he's a RW PLY. And maybe, if you created Samsonov, you should create Shestyorkin too. He's a Rangers pick playing in the KHL. He's been selected to play in the All-Star game and he's one shutout away from the KHL all-time record. Also, maybe you can upgrade Timothy Liljegren as well. The top three for the 2017 draft should be 1) Patrick, 2) Liljegren, 3) Hischier
Hey Johnny, I'm not sure if you did this or not but, you need to send Ty Rattie to the Hurricanes. The Blues just dropped him to waivers and Carolina picked him up.
Panarin should be a 90-91, he is 6th in points this year and he has been one of the most valuable players for the Blackhawks this year. Even if he is elite he never grows much really so personally I would put him at his current level which is a plus 90 player.
Also some changes for some other teams: -Phillip Danault could be higher -Anthony Mantha should be higher overall -Matthew Tkachuk might be around 83-84 -Scott Darling has been amazing when Crawford was injured so he might be higher -Pastrnak is top 5 in goals I think, so he might have a better shooting category
I'm a cbj fan and you're right. I love to see the raises you did. As a side note, I agree with the down grade of Murray and Johnson to compensate for the increase in werenski but savard has had a great season. He plays a lot of key moments where we need him to shut down the opposing team
AM34 so are the leafs... this Canucks team isn't nearly as bad as people make them out to be. Sure, they're an average .500 team, and they aren't winning a cup or making it far in the playoffs, but they aren't last in the league either. 3 of our starter defenseman have been injured (Tanev, Hutton, Gudbranson)
If you could create one player it should be Andrei Svechnikov. Hes evgeni svechnikov's brother and is in a toss up position for first overall spot in 2018 draft (with dahlen), he's supposed to be the best russian out of the draft since ovechkin. You could also edit benoit-Olivier Groulx and Jared McIsaac (both are on the halifax moosehead to you don't need to create them) to be top 10 prospects in the 2018 draft with around med top 6 and med top 4 potential.
I know right now Werenski is on top of the NHL world, but ffs an 89 at 19 with medium elite. Johnny you made him higher than the face of the Columbus defence core Seth Jones whos at 88. Pls lower him to atleast an 88 or even 87. I have alot of respect for Werenski and admire what hes done, but thats insane. Pls like so Johnny sees :)) and hope you have a great day!
You could improve Teuvo Teravainen a bit - 85 overall? Also Cam Ward should be 86-87 He has played well. Also you should improve Derek Ryan's overall to 83 so Carolina would play him in the main roster like IRL. Also you could Improve Jaccop Slavin and Brett Pesce! Those guys are real STUDS in real life. Also I think Aho could be 83-85 overall. BTW I am a Caniac. Have fun in your GM mode!!!
Make Kristian Vesalainen a 70 rated player. He PLAYED in my favorite team in Sweden but is out on loan at the moment in finland. Hes allways working hard and is really strong for a 17 year old. Also make Rasmus Dahlin a high top 4. He is 16 years old and is already playing 1st line in Swedens best team atm. btw dahlin plays for frolunda.
Hey Johnny, one thing I love to do is pull up a list of the 2017 World Junior teams and go to each player from each team and give them a small boost (Like marginal) based on their stats. Example: Team Swiss had an amazing run, so I boosted Loic In Albon to med Top 9 potential at 64 overall, I boosted Nico Hishier to 70 overall (remained Top 6 F) as he ran the tournament. Serge Weber got a potential boost to medium Top 6 D so he can get drafted (The analysts all said he is guaranteed to be drafted). Definitely something you should consider for the next GM mode, it really spices up the draft when you see more and more familiar names.
I'm not sure if you edit Thomas Chabot (defensive prospect for Ottawa) but you should give him an elite potential (red or yellow) at a mid 70 overall. He is the wjc mvp afterall
did you make colin white for the senators? he did pretty well at the worlds, i noticed you did a few americans, but you didnt mention him. maybe hes already in the game?
I don't think you mentioned anything about Anthony Mantha, but he should be an 84ish player if he already isn't. He's kicking ass with the right lines this year.
Chara 89 -> 87 (He's getting old and it Really is beginning to show) Pasternak 85 -> 86-87 (Pastrnak has really broken out this year and one of Boston's best players) Atkinson 89 -> 88 (Despite his incredible performance, I don't think it's enough to put him on a level with Gaudreau) Werenski 89 -> 87-88 or MED Elite -> Low Elite/High Top 4 (Overall and potential combo are too high and are going to lead him to be way to high overall in 1-3 years into the mode) Bobrovsky 93 -> 90-92 (Again despite this year's performance I don't think it's enough to justify him being three points over Crawford. If you want them to simulate better with these changes, boost the depth) Gagner 85 -> 86 (Gagner can be one of the main boosts of depth the team has with his performance) (Maybe) Stamkos + Hedman + Tavares + Doughty + Kopitar Franchise -> HIGH Elite (While they are amazing, I don't think that they are on the level of Kane, Ovechkin and Crosby. Even Toews isn't Franchise potential Weber 95 -> 92-93 (Even if the Canadiens don't simulate well, Weber can't be the thing that fixes them. They've had a lot of their depth players step up such as Philip Danault who has been their 1st line center, so as with Columbus, boost the depth not the studs) Danault 80 -> 85 (With the heavy injuries to Montreal, Danault has been their 1st line center and playing decently and was a 1st round pick so it's not too surprising) Byron 82 -> 84-85 (The acquisition of Byron might have been one of the Habs' best moves lately with him being 4th in team scoring) Matthews 87 -> 89-91 (If you're going to give Werenski an 89, it's an injustice not to give Matthews a higher ranking, his performance speaks for itself) Manner 84 -> 86-87 (Marner has been fantastic for the leafs at 2nd to Matthews in team scoring and has done so after being heavily doubted due to his size. And again, if Werenski is 89 Marner deserves this Brown 82 -> 83-84 (Brown has proven himself as a solid player for the Leafs with solid defense on the PK and with some goal scoring) Gardiner 85 -> 86 (Gardiner has been the Leafs most productive D-Man) Andersen ?? -> 90 (After the first month, Harold Bluetooth has had almost a .930 save percentage and been one of the top goalies in the league) Laine 87 -> 89-90 ("Yeah, fuck off buddy we absolutely need more Laine clips. Fuckin every time this kid steps on the ice someone scores. kids fuckin dirt nasty man. Does fuckin ovi have 21 goals this season I dont fuckin think so bud. I'm fuckin tellin ya Patrik "golden flow" Laine is pottin 50 in '17 fuckin callin it right now. Clap bombs, fuck moms, wheel, snipe, and fuckin celly boys fuck" But seriously he has been amazing along with Matthews and it seems like it's going to be one of the closest and most exciting Calder races in recent history and again like Matthews and Marner if Werenski is that good, so should Laine) Leipsic MED Top 9 -> MED Top 6 (Him and Kapanen have been tearing it up for the Marlies and Leipsic is 13th in AHL scoring) Liljegren should be a Top 5 if not Top 3 pick in the year 1 draft
it would be fun if you were Pittsburgh for the GM because they almost have no good prospects just a good team for now so you have to build a future team
Athanasiou on Detroit needs a big boost. He has been quietly been scoring at a 20 goal pace since last year. It's also important to note that Athanasiou has been doing this with third and fourth line time. I really believe this kid has a tone of potential but he has a coach who since coming in for Babcock, has significantly lowered Detroit's best offensive weapons in the past few years numbers (Nyquist and Tatar). Athanasiou's potential should be medium top six or high top six and 81-83 overall.
Johnny, I'm a Wings fan, but you should lower Kronwall to an 84 and Ericsson to an 82. They're both pretty slow nowadays, and their puck handling isn't the best.
Forgot to edit Joe Veleno. He's the first exceptional status player to be drafted into the QMJHL. He's eligible for the 2018 NHL entry draft. He's gonna be a stud. Plays on the Saint John Sea Dogs
Just a few things to point out. Matthews should be a low/med franchise. And if you decide to go with low then you should bump down Eichel to low franchise too. Keep Laine at high elite and change Puljujärvi to med-elite. Also, Dubnyk > Bobrovsky. CBJ's major contribution were their offence so make Bobrovsky 91 and Dubnyk 92-93. Bump down Lundqvist to 90 overall but let him keep his high elite. Raanta should be around 85ish. And I don't know if you've changed it but fix A.Nylander to med-elite playmaker and change his stats. He always becomes a rookie with 99 in offensive-awareness and passing for me if you don't fix him, and he is not a two-way forward. Last but not least, Rasmus Dahlin in Linköping, SHL should get a real boost to med-elite, since he's supposed to be a really promising defenceman in both ends of the ice in the future.
Holy Adrianna. But Eichel deserves medium franchise? I'll pick Matthews over Eichel any day. I just said that Eichel and Matthews should have same potential whether it's low or medium franchise. And I know Dahlin deserves medium franchise but he still have a few years to develop and hasn't played a game in NHL so i was thinking he could have High-elite or low-franchise to begin with but he'll certainly be a med-franchise in the future.
On another note, Martinez is nowhere near a 87 overall low elite player. He's been so overrated since the gwg against the Rangers. He should be a 85 overall low or medium top 4 player.
Lill Jacke Matthew doesn't deserve Franchise, only players that will most likely be Hall of Famers ex. Mcdavid, Crosby. Matthews isn't and never will be anywhere near the 2, more close to a Malkin or Draisaitl
The way that the two of them are playing Matthews and Laine, there is a case to be made that they both could be Franchise potential, they both could eclipse 40 goals this year, and look to be a key part of the next group of generational talents.
Can you try to add Kirill Kaprizov(Minnesota Wild prospect),Denis Gurianov(Dallas Stars prospect), and Upgrade Rasmus Dahlin who is supposed to be a top prospect in 2018(Frolunda HC in the SHL)
EA needs to employ Johnny. Fuck it, make him lead dev.
Fatih Sahin ikr xD
Fatih Sahin and tougie24 as well
Fatih Sahin agreed
Toronto would just win the cup in every be a gm mode.
Fatih Sahin CEO lmao, that whole company is a mess
Rasmus Dahlin is supposed to be the can't miss #1 Overall Pick in 2018, touted as the next Erik Karlsson. Plays in the Swedish Elite League. Definitely should be a High Elite offensive defenseman. Pastrnak is having a career year, should be boosted in either overall, potential, or both. Austin Czarnik is having a good season in Boston, he should be an everyday player at least. Konecny probably deserves a slight overall boost. Those were just the few I noted. Additionally, I know that a guy like Kailer Yamamoto is supposed to be a Top 10 pick in 2017, but ends up with High Top 6 AHL F potential, that should be edited, and potentially adding a US HS guy like Casey Middlestadt would be a good idea for the Year 1 Draft.
That's fair. He definitely is a generational defenseman, he looked really good in the WJC as a 16 year old defenseman, and has been dominant at times as a 16 year old in the highest Swedish Elite League. Kid's unreal.
Holy Adriannna He played like 15 mins a game lol, only played the 3rd period against Canada then played every other shift
Yes,, I would definitely make him low/medium franchise to make things more interesting.
I heard he's more like the new Lidström. Dominant and reliable in both ends of the ice so maybe he should be a high elite/medium franchise TWD?
Sebastian Aho from Carolina!! Make sure he is atleast a 82/83 overall with atleast top 6 potential. He has been one of the better players for Carolina this season!
You need to make Brian Boyle a 99 or this is fucked man
failtolawl why?
ikr
Deez Nuts it's a joke
Add Kirill Kaprizov to the Minnesota Wild prospects. He was the captain of Russia in the WJC & was named the Best Forward in the WJC.
Casey Rauchwarter Minnesota Wild prospects had a beast World Juniors!
Could be a great future with Tuch,Kunin,Erickson Ek,Greenway, and Kaprizov
+Victoria Park Don't forget the fact that besides from Suter most of the d core is under 25
yes!
Thank you so much for reminding me I'm going to add him to mine! DO you know of any others who arent in the game
Bro knew puck
Edmonton's Adam Larsson should be strong physically, defensively and capable of moving the puck. Don't make him so strong so as to be undisciplined because he is that steady shutdown guy.
Matt Benning is already a capable player similar to Sekera's style. I would suggest he gets a boost to 80-82(at best).
Maroon has played a solid year. Deserves a little finisher ability. He has a small jump in his step in comparison to his in-game character. You may have already done that since I noticed he was an 84.
Caggiula is a capable player. He plays a hard game. He's not a huge point producer. He should have a higher defensive ability and physicality since he has carried the third line centre role really well. Bring him around 80-82.
Truth is that Edmonton has had depth all year. When people have gone down, there has always been someone who can step in and play.
Pitlick, Lander, Pakarinen, Davidson, Gryba, Fayne, and Nurse all stepped in at one point and weren't detrimental.
I think these minor tweaks will be more like their current placement in the standings.
When I had Gustavsson I noticed he played nearly as much as Talbot even though he is terrible. Not much you can do about that. I don't know if giving Talbot a higher endurance would help or what. I feel like the fix would be too experimental.
Brandon Francis I think 80 and maybe Low Top 4
Werenski at 89 is too high 87 is better
I agree there is no way he should be better than eichel, Laine and Matthews.. all 4 of them at 87 overall is very fair for them all
I second this, way too high, it's probably cause he wants them to be as good as they are right now
I third the motion
since he needs Columbus to be better, keep the 89 but drop the potential so by year 2, Matthews, Laine, and Werenski have similar overalls
Glad I'm not the only one
You're missing Colin White to Ottawa!!!!!! He's probably a medium elite 2 way centre. Bob Mackenzie loves the guy, and can't stop comparing him to Bergeron.
Pasta should be an 86 to an 87 Johnny
Dustin Brown and a sniper instead of a playmaker
Bryce Caimi yes
Dustin Brown true
Bryce Caimi and task deserves a tiny bump with the way he's been playing
right, hes like 5th in goals
Make dahlin the 16 year old Swedish player he is supposed to be the next Erik Karl's son
YES
Hell yeah he's freaking amazing ( I'm Swedish)
he's already in the Frölunda roster in the SHL. So Johnny just needs to edit his potential.
robin1667 k that's sick he is actually in the game though
robin1667 he is a 60 overall with medium ahl top 2 d
On Ottawa, Downgrade Bobby to at least 86. Downgrade Ceci to about 81-82, Smith should be an 84 at least. Karlsson a 93. And make sure Colin White and Chabot get upgrades. And also upgrade Mike Condon to about 84-85
Colin White isn't even in the game, he should be added.
Colin White is Ottawa Senators top prospect who's in College, add him to the AHL team
Johnny, Artturi Lehkonen of the Canadiens is on pace for 20 goals and playing well. I didn't see him at all in their roster here!!
CJ Mattias totally agree, he should be at least 81-83
CJ Mattias I agree with this
CJ Mattias agree
CJ Mattias yeah Lehkonen should at least be like an 84 or 85
83 - medium top-6 is about right for him
Alright Edmonton NEEDS to be boosted. They are a different team this year.
Leon Draisaitl has 33 points on the year right now, he deserves to be at least 87 overall.
Patrick Maroon has also been a beast for us this year with his 14 goals on the year, his offensive category should be boosted to make him at least 85 overall minimum
Next Matthew Benning has been on our top pair of defencemen as of late and deserves at least 83 overall
Lastly McDavid has been leading the ENTIRE LEAGUE in points, give him 94 overall, to counter act this lower eberle to 84 overall since he has had a shitty season. (Lower his toughness and balance, he's like a twig out there)
Leon Draisaitl -------> 87
Connor McJesus --> 94
Patrick Maroon -----> 86
Matthew Benning ---> 83
Jordan Eberle --------> 84
Also Drake Caggiula has been good for us this year to, I would raise him to 80 overall (increase his shot, watch his first goal it was a bullet)
xRiguy mcdavid is good at 93
xRiguy McDavid is 19 leading the league in points. The kid needs either a potential boost, a stat boost, or his line mates do.
Braydon Neiszner exactly
How can you not give Mcdavid High Franchise Potential. There has been no better prospect in the last 10 years.
Johnny I just want to thank you so much for all of this great content. I realized how much time putting out multiple 30 minute videos a week must take. I just want to say good job
can u pls raise the Boston Bruins' defenseman(Brandon Carlo) to 84 with med elite potential.
he is so underrated.
Raymond Carmine Carlo should definitely be higher than an 81. 20 year old playing 21 plus minutes a night
On the Bruins:
Make Colin Miller better. 82-83, Med Top-6
Make David Pastrnak better. 86-87, High Top-6
Make Brandon Carlo better. 82-83, High Top-4
Make Jimmy Hayes worse overall wise 79-80
marchand better
krug better
chara a bit worse
Also make sure McAvoy turns into a stud player(elite potential). The guy was stupidly good at the WJC.
Brandon Carlo should be an 83 overall with high top 4. The guy is playing as good as people like Provorov.
First off, change McDavid to High Franchise, Eichel, Matthews, and Laine's Potentials to Med. Franchise
2017 Draft Potentials:
1. Nolan Patrick, C, Brandon (WHL) - High Elite

3. David Levin, LW, Sudbury (OHL) - Med. Elite
4. Ryan Merkley, D, Guelph (OHL) - Med. Elite
5. Anderson MacDonald, LW, Sherbrooke (QMJHL) - High Top 6
Just includes players that are currently in the game, there's players such as Mittelstadt, Tolvanen, Kostin, Pettersson, Poehling, Makar, Oettinger, and Svechnikov (2018) than can be created but that's rather time consuming.
Like so Johnny sees
BPH Graphics & Gaming Your telling that 3 players in this years draft are better than Matthews and Laine in terms of potential??? i say no way to that there has been little to no knews about anyone for this draft year but last year these guys where talked almost every week after WJC no one should be higher than med Elite for the draft
glitchypenguin101 In my eyes Matthews and Laine should be medium Franchise, so I'm basing it off of that
BPH Graphics & Gaming okay I agree with it than. However Johnny didnt change them to that potentail so I would either state that for him to see, or change it so that your compairing the draft player to the potential of Laine and Matthews in his game.
Mathews, Laine and Echiel are not Franchise. High elites, but in no way are they franchise. You could make a case for Mathews, but that's about it.
Dalton Janzen How are they not Franchise? All three of those players are gonna be considered among the top of their position for years, in three years their base overall in the NHL games could all be above 92, how is that not deserving of Franchise potential?
Please create Colin White for the Ottawa Senators. He is not there because he plays in college currently. He is a big part of the future of the franchise. Great videos, keep it up!
Make Markus Granlund and AJ Greer better. Greer is like 58 overall with ahl potential.
and sven baertshi
I think you should make Jeff Carter better offensively, he is 2nd in the league for goals
Yeah Boi plus And make Peter Budaj a beast look at the year he is having
Parker Brown no
Parker Brown Budaj should be a 36 overall
Yeah Boi lol I see you everywhere remember me from tac tix Japan franchise
Kristina Dayter have you seen his numbers this season? he is playing amazing
Montreal Fan here! Arthuri Lehkonen is the next big name on the roster. He puts puck in the next on a regular basis. Should be a High Top 6 Forward with like 83 Ovr and Phillip Danault should be Medium Top 6 with 84 Ovr. These are the two in Montreal that NEED a boost.
Alson Kevin Labanc and Timo Meier on the Sharks definitely deserve an upgrade both in Ovr and Potential
Jay Trudel I agree complete I think Byron should be better too he's been a stud
Lol he's not even on pace for 25 points.. calm down making him a 83 overall all good as Jerome iginla among others. Arturri only has 8 goals & 2 assists in 31 games. Bozak has 24 points in 36 games for comparisons sake and making Arturri 85 overall would be saying he and the veteran bozak are equally good and that's not fair. Arturri is an 80-81 overall medium top 9 max with a tiny boost to his shooting being fair.
sds606 watching all the games? if you did you would agree that the kid plays on the 3rd line and is doing great
radulov 88 or 89
byron 83 he's really good (underated)
lekhonen 81 low top 6
danault 83 med top 9
put sergachev med elite
plekanec down to 83 he's doin nothinhg
desharnais down to 81
shaw down to 83
emelin up to 86
You forgot Colin White in created players for Ottawa. He is playing in Boston University. First round pick in 2015.
You didn't create Colin White! He's a Ottawa first rounder that scored 8 goals at the recent WJC. He was the best player on the U.S. squad.
you do realize pastranak is like 5th in goals in nhl, marchand is top 21 in nhl in points, put chara down like wtf and raise krug to like 87-88 hes really good this year, lower jimmy hayes and riley nash, colin miller and brandon carlo up a bit up,
Litt1e.Brendan Someone's a Boston fan
Jose Bautista why is that a problem?
Litt1e.Brendan lower Hayes Miller (both) and Nash. Raise Krug 1 or 2 points, Pasta to a low elite, or high t6 and Marchands defense just a touch(been a very effective PK'er)
and......? Not sure why that matters bud
Turn the entire Stars team to 0 durability.
UltimateBreloom lol
a few other things for the Stars
-Lehtonen needs to be 70 overall, same with Nemo
-Jordie Benn needs to be 36 overall
-Sharp's shooting needs to be in the 60's
-Janmark has to be dead
-Oleksiak needs 99 deking (look up Oleksiak goal vs St. Louis, it's amazing)
-and John Klingberg's defensive awareness needs to be 75
I'm a Stars fan btw
David Bondra L
David Bondra Sorry to hear that.
W
Johnny you HAVE to be the Montreal Canadiens. The club has so many prospects who are not being used correctly, ie. Scherbak, McCarron, DLR, Lindgren. It would great to see you develop the young team while trading away older useless players like Desharnais.
Also it would be HILARIOUS and ironic that you turn Montreal into a dynasty after you just made Toronto into one!
Please do Montreal!!!!!!
also Ramus Dahlin on the Frölunda HC is 16 and supposed to be the next Lidstrom, turn him into elite potential
Holy fuck 89 werenski at like 20 years old is a bit much
*19
Make Werenski 83 and give him med Elite, he will grow to 87 to 89 within one or two years, but 89 at 19yo is way to high
BabcockToToronto yea 86 - 87 would be better
Maybe 84 but I would agree
Calum Mc blzh 86 is good, he is on other levels than players like in the 83-range
You should have changed the Hurricanes a little bit. Like Aho 84 and Staal 85
Sisu Saivosalmi Slavin and Pesce up as well.
Sisu Saivosalmi Nah Staal is the best player on that team
Duncan Reilly Staal isn't even in their Top 5 point scoring...
Staal is great defensively but decent offensively. I would give him an 86. Skinner and Rask should be better for sure.
Are you crazy? Marc Staal has been fantastic these past 2 years.
Colin White for Ottawa
Trent Frederic for Boston
Dennis Cholowski for Detroit should all be created and be either top 6 F or top 4 D. They're all 2016 first round picks.
For the sens, maybe create Colin White (two way forward) as a med or low top 6 and change Thomas Chabot to high top 4 or low elite. Make the overalls so that they have a chance to make the team next year (74-78 range).
Troy Stecher has been one of the Nucks best dmen. Should probably be top 4 instead of top 6.
im a leaf fan and i agree
High top 6 is usually better than medium top 4
Horvat should be a low elite 87 overall player. Why? Because when was the last time a player had more points than the sedins in Canucks. If u guy think that's stupid, go watch the 6 game winning streak that the Canucks were on and look at how Horvat was playing!
Centii Menti ya he been doing good lately!
Agreed! Horvat is my favorite in the entire league, he is a beaut!
86 medium elite
he grows better when he is high top 6
BoKnows Goals! My favourite Canuck
You know what I'd like to see? Bring back the Atlanta Thrashers! Take the Winnipeg roster, and farm team, and give them the Thrashers logo. Is that even possible in NHL 17?
Lol Atlanta should've never had an NHL team
So?
On the Red Wings, Anthony Mantha has played really well this year (11 goals, 19 points in 25 games with a +11) and is playing on the top line along side of Zetterberg and Tatar. I'd say he should be at least 83-84 overall. Also with every franchise mode I play in NHL 17 I can't grow him over 84 overall so you may want to look at changing his potential from low elite to something else. Other than that I think the rosters look real good.
Can you upgrade Nico Hishler he suppose to go in the top ten in the draft this year
Drew Nichols did you watched the vid??
Simon Harvey I mean like his offensive stats
Drew Nichols you should have watched the whole video first
20:18
2BCProductions2BC Hey 2BC. Can you please reply?
Up Viktor Arvidsson's overall (and maybe potential) on the Nashville Predators. He's second on their team in points. And up Kevin Fiala on the Preds. Also up Juuse Saros to be the backup goalie in Nashville. Up his potential. He is 3-3-1 (mostly because Nashville can't score) with a 1.29 GAA and .955 SV%. And move Reid Boucher on Nashville to Vancouver, that is where he is playing.
And make Roman Josi better than PK Subban
The Canucks are in a playoff spot, and Stecher is playing like 25 minutes a night with amazing advanced stats. He deserves 85-86, with top 4 potential
love the content and the time you put into this update! just wondering if you could briefly show the ratings for the players you've created. ie; jost fabbro, etc as I would love to have them in my game thanks
Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker from the Wild should be upgraded, Zucker 86 and Granny 87
Akseli Sotamaa Yes Totally Make Zucker
Akseli Sotamaa oh, Zucker and Haula's speed should at least be upped. Probably 90-91 because they are so incredibly fast
Make Pastrnak better than 85. Also Krug and Colin Miller should be better.
Also, Brandon Carlo slightly better
AJAX BEATZ krug and miller arent that good
AJAX BEATZ Nah Pastranak has been slacking lately
Milan Lucic 27 Yea hes been slacking but hes still having a good year. Especially considering how bad bergerons been offensively.
Milan Lucic 27 ya everyone goes through slumps
This is my first time watching you play NHL 17 in a long time
I would create Colin White. he's a NCAA prospect of the Ottawa Senators. He had a phenomenal World Junior Tournament and will be a big piece of their roster going forward.
I feel Mitch marner should be bumped up
Ewan PC I totally agree
Maybe bumb him to 86/87 and lower down the potential a bit
Mother Huba no he deserves a elite potential kid is going to be great
Marner should be 86 overall with medium elite potential
86 with med elite potential and great speed and offensive stats
Boost up Mantha's stats he's a beast
Simon Harvey yeah I said that too 11 goals in 24 games
Jake Newman yep
I was about to write this too, but I'm glad I read down the comments. Mantha is one of the only consistent players on the Wings right now. At least someone else agrees with me.
Matt Solnik True. Plus I don't get why he's still rated 75ovr by ea sports smh...
I'm not surprised about that. EA also left Pavel Datsyuk on the Coyotes and every roster update doesn't remove him. I'm happy Johnny removed him from his roster. The other person I thought could get a slight boost is Athanasiou. He's only 80 in the game, but he could be bumped to like 82 or 83. He has the speed and hands to get a bump.
I only know about Ottawa's players:
Colin white should be in the game, he had a great world juniors
Jonathan dahlen is the swedish guy and he also had a great tournament and isn't there
Increase anderson by 1 or 2
Decrease bobby ryan by 1 or 2
Ryan dzingel should be like an 83-84
Karlsson should be increased to a 94
Ceci's potential down to low top 4
Also:
Make st.louis better
Winnipeg worse
Edmonton better
Boston better
Toronto worse (don't fanboy them)
florida worse
minnisota SLIGHTLY worse (maybe dubnyk to a 90)
Can't wait for you to use edmonton in this GM mode
For the Ottawa Senators, put Colin White in the game. He's a real top prospect for them. Also I hope you made Thomas Chabot better after the World Junior he had.
How about Joe Veleno for the 2nd draft?
Pauli Nieminen I was thinking that as well
same
Pauli Nieminen and rasmen dahlin
Pauli Nieminen he's already med elite
Salt Lord oh yeah I forgott
you should edit Timothy Liljegren from Rögle in SHL to a 79 overall medium elite (with great offensive stats)
I didn't show his stats but he's exactly what you're asking for
Liljegren should have high elite potential along with Rasmus Dahlin, Joe veleno and Nolan Patrick. None of them grow passed 82 but they are 4 out of the next 6 top 3 picks in 2017 & 2018
sds606 i think he should make Rasmus Dahlin aswell
he is in the game already
Canucks roster edits:
Horvat- Keep him at 86 overall with medium elite potential(he's leading the Canucks in goals and points and he's their best prospect)
Stecher- Make him an 83-84 with medium top 4
Baertschi- Make him an 84-85 with med top 6 potential(he has the second most goals on the Canucks)
Granlund- Make him an 83-84 with low top 6 potential
You should add Colin White to the game, he was arguably USA's best player at the World Juniors and Chabot also deserves a boost, he was the MVP of the entire World Juniors tournament
A few changes:
1. Find out what happened with the Oilers and McDavid (and fix it)
2. Make St Louis better and Winnipeg worse
3. Lower the Kings and Doughty
4. Lower the Leafs (a bit)
5. Make the Metro better. Mainly Columbus and Philadelphia.
6. Capitals need a few changes. Holtby needs to be boosted, Carlson needs to be lowered, and Niskanen needs to be boosted. Also, Jay Beagle needs to be boosted ALOT. He is one of the best 4th liners and penalty killers in the league. (6 goals, 9 assists, 15 points, +11)
I saw you had Charlie McAvoy on the Bruins. If you put the prospects in the juniors and set their contracts to $0 for 0 years, the game will make them unsigned rookies
So he'd still be a Bruins prospect, but he doesn't take up a contract spot that he doesn't take in real life
Here are some suggestions:
- Change that hedman potential, it's a little too high and unrealistic
- I would make Taylor Hall even higher than 90 overall, as he is up with a lot of the top players in the league and I believe that needs to be recognized.
- Jeff Carter and Joe Pavelski are two guys who should be increased.
- Anze Kopitar is unrealistically good at 93 overall, I don't think he merits that kind of overall
- Edit Thomas Chabot if you haven't already
These are just small things though, everything else looks really good. I especially love all the new players that you made from the Colleges, that'll be a great addition. Really excited for the new series. Glad to be getting away from the LEafs tbh!
Raise Jeff Carter to like a 91 - 92 ovr with a boosted shooting category because he is like second in the NHL in goals. and i would look at the players on the Canadian, Russian, and American WJC teams
I really don't think Werenski should have a 89 overall, that's like saying he's better then Ekblad already which he definitely isn't. I think he should be 85-87. Also lower Laines shooting, he's good but since he has the high elite potential it'll grow to that in a year or two so just lower it by about 2-3 ratings each category. Also you should add Rasmus Dahlin a 16 year old projected number 1 pick in 2018 he's a Swedish Defenceman
Hockey Life I agree
Ilya Samsonov who you created should be 74 overall he was amazing in WJC
For the Oilers
Mcdavid-94 (and fix his portential ya goof)
Draisaitl-87-88 (hes a good goal scorer but not very fast)
Maroon-85-87 (hes leading our team with 16 goals, and he fought chara, what a beast)
Klefbomb-87 (hes like our franchise defensivemen, up his shooting cuz hes really good on the pp and he shoots alot)
Larsson-87 (up his physical and defensive especially body checking and shot blocking)
Pouliot-78 (make penalty pouliots disicpline like 3 i swear to god hell have 60 pim without a single fight)
Oilers fan for 8 years please see this johnny
I think you should make Barrie better.
Also, Buchnevich (NYR) should be low elite or medium top 6, and he's a RW PLY.
And maybe, if you created Samsonov, you should create Shestyorkin too. He's a Rangers pick playing in the KHL. He's been selected to play in the All-Star game and he's one shutout away from the KHL all-time record.
Also, maybe you can upgrade Timothy Liljegren as well. The top three for the 2017 draft should be 1) Patrick, 2) Liljegren, 3) Hischier
Hey Johnny, I'm not sure if you did this or not but, you need to send Ty Rattie to the Hurricanes. The Blues just dropped him to waivers and Carolina picked him up.
Panarin should be a 90-91, he is 6th in points this year and he has been one of the most valuable players for the Blackhawks this year. Even if he is elite he never grows much really so personally I would put him at his current level which is a plus 90 player.
Also some changes for some other teams:
-Phillip Danault could be higher
-Anthony Mantha should be higher overall
-Matthew Tkachuk might be around 83-84
-Scott Darling has been amazing when Crawford was injured so he might be higher
-Pastrnak is top 5 in goals I think, so he might have a better shooting category
I'm a cbj fan and you're right. I love to see the raises you did. As a side note, I agree with the down grade of Murray and Johnson to compensate for the increase in werenski but savard has had a great season. He plays a lot of key moments where we need him to shut down the opposing team
Bring up Anthony Mantha overall because he has been dominating it for them this year.The kid has been scoring a lot and deserves to be a better overal
Why would you make Vancouver a bottom feeder team they're almost in a wild card spot?
Scorce because they are trash,and are on a fluke streak
There ahead of team's that aren't getting there shit together
AM34 so are the leafs... this Canucks team isn't nearly as bad as people make them out to be. Sure, they're an average .500 team, and they aren't winning a cup or making it far in the playoffs, but they aren't last in the league either. 3 of our starter defenseman have been injured (Tanev, Hutton, Gudbranson)
There basically 20-22 and 2nd last in the Pacific
+Ronald Thompson They're, their, and they're... Learn to speak English then come back.
Draisaitl to 86. He's been killing it. Change it to Medium Elite
Shaedon Shergill he is 86 and medium elite
SantaGaming ok. I made the comment before the video started LOL.
Shaedon Shergill lol
If you could create one player it should be Andrei Svechnikov. Hes evgeni svechnikov's brother and is in a toss up position for first overall spot in 2018 draft (with dahlen), he's supposed to be the best russian out of the draft since ovechkin. You could also edit benoit-Olivier Groulx and Jared McIsaac (both are on the halifax moosehead to you don't need to create them) to be top 10 prospects in the 2018 draft with around med top 6 and med top 4 potential.
I know right now Werenski is on top of the NHL world, but ffs an 89 at 19 with medium elite. Johnny you made him higher than the face of the Columbus defence core Seth Jones whos at 88. Pls lower him to atleast an 88 or even 87. I have alot of respect for Werenski and admire what hes done, but thats insane.
Pls like so Johnny sees :)) and hope you have a great day!
You could improve Teuvo Teravainen a bit - 85 overall? Also Cam Ward should be 86-87 He has played well. Also you should improve Derek Ryan's overall to 83 so Carolina would play him in the main roster like IRL. Also you could Improve Jaccop Slavin and Brett Pesce! Those guys are real STUDS in real life. Also I think Aho could be 83-85 overall. BTW I am a Caniac. Have fun in your GM mode!!!
Make Kristian Vesalainen a 70 rated player. He PLAYED in my favorite team in Sweden but is out on loan at the moment in finland. Hes allways working hard and is really strong for a 17 year old. Also make Rasmus Dahlin a high top 4. He is 16 years old and is already playing 1st line in Swedens best team atm. btw dahlin plays for frolunda.
Also Rasmus Dahlin took liljegrens spot in the WJC
Holy Adriannna Yeah but i didnt wanna go to crazy
dahlin should not get franchise potential
High Elite for Dahlin is fair
sds606 And give his overall a boost. Hes only 64 rated.
Hey Johnny, one thing I love to do is pull up a list of the 2017 World Junior teams and go to each player from each team and give them a small boost (Like marginal) based on their stats. Example: Team Swiss had an amazing run, so I boosted Loic In Albon to med Top 9 potential at 64 overall, I boosted Nico Hishier to 70 overall (remained Top 6 F) as he ran the tournament. Serge Weber got a potential boost to medium Top 6 D so he can get drafted (The analysts all said he is guaranteed to be drafted). Definitely something you should consider for the next GM mode, it really spices up the draft when you see more and more familiar names.
Thanks for this Johnny. EA Sports should definitely make it so you are able to upload custom rosters. I'm copying you and making the changes myself
Where's roslovic?
theawesome224 true
theawesome224 definitely, dudes leading the moose in points right now
Colin white should be added to Ottawa he is one of there top prospects and one of team USA's best players at the world juniors
I'm not sure if you edit Thomas Chabot (defensive prospect for Ottawa) but you should give him an elite potential (red or yellow) at a mid 70 overall. He is the wjc mvp afterall
did you make colin white for the senators? he did pretty well at the worlds, i noticed you did a few americans, but you didnt mention him. maybe hes already in the game?
Joe Veleno and Rasmus Dahlin need to be contenders for 1st overall in 2018
Use the Rangers you'll have a good goalie in the beginning with good trade value and u have a young team plus u have Nash who's got trade value
The defense has good trade value and then young players in skjei and clendening
I don't think you mentioned anything about Anthony Mantha, but he should be an 84ish player if he already isn't. He's kicking ass with the right lines this year.
Chara 89 -> 87 (He's getting old and it Really is beginning to show)
Pasternak 85 -> 86-87 (Pastrnak has really broken out this year and one of Boston's best players)
Atkinson 89 -> 88 (Despite his incredible performance, I don't think it's enough to put him on a level with Gaudreau)
Werenski 89 -> 87-88 or MED Elite -> Low Elite/High Top 4 (Overall and potential combo are too high and are going to lead him to be way to high overall in 1-3 years into the mode)
Bobrovsky 93 -> 90-92 (Again despite this year's performance I don't think it's enough to justify him being three points over Crawford. If you want them to simulate better with these changes, boost the depth)
Gagner 85 -> 86 (Gagner can be one of the main boosts of depth the team has with his performance)
(Maybe) Stamkos + Hedman + Tavares + Doughty + Kopitar Franchise -> HIGH Elite (While they are amazing, I don't think that they are on the level of Kane, Ovechkin and Crosby. Even Toews isn't Franchise potential
Weber 95 -> 92-93 (Even if the Canadiens don't simulate well, Weber can't be the thing that fixes them. They've had a lot of their depth players step up such as Philip Danault who has been their 1st line center, so as with Columbus, boost the depth not the studs)
Danault 80 -> 85 (With the heavy injuries to Montreal, Danault has been their 1st line center and playing decently and was a 1st round pick so it's not too surprising)
Byron 82 -> 84-85 (The acquisition of Byron might have been one of the Habs' best moves lately with him being 4th in team scoring)
Matthews 87 -> 89-91 (If you're going to give Werenski an 89, it's an injustice not to give Matthews a higher ranking, his performance speaks for itself)
Manner 84 -> 86-87 (Marner has been fantastic for the leafs at 2nd to Matthews in team scoring and has done so after being heavily doubted due to his size. And again, if Werenski is 89 Marner deserves this
Brown 82 -> 83-84 (Brown has proven himself as a solid player for the Leafs with solid defense on the PK and with some goal scoring)
Gardiner 85 -> 86 (Gardiner has been the Leafs most productive D-Man)
Andersen ?? -> 90 (After the first month, Harold Bluetooth has had almost a .930 save percentage and been one of the top goalies in the league)
Laine 87 -> 89-90 ("Yeah, fuck off buddy we absolutely need more Laine clips. Fuckin every time this kid steps on the ice someone scores. kids fuckin dirt nasty man. Does fuckin ovi have 21 goals this season I dont fuckin think so bud. I'm fuckin tellin ya Patrik "golden flow" Laine is pottin 50 in '17 fuckin callin it right now. Clap bombs, fuck moms, wheel, snipe, and fuckin celly boys fuck" But seriously he has been amazing along with Matthews and it seems like it's going to be one of the closest and most exciting Calder races in recent history and again like Matthews and Marner if Werenski is that good, so should Laine)
Leipsic MED Top 9 -> MED Top 6 (Him and Kapanen have been tearing it up for the Marlies and Leipsic is 13th in AHL scoring)
Liljegren should be a Top 5 if not Top 3 pick in the year 1 draft
Nhl17 needs to be able to download other users rosters, like MLB THE SHOW
it would be fun if you were Pittsburgh for the GM because they almost have no good prospects just a good team for now so you have to build a future team
Johnny you need to create Colin White and put him on the Ottawa Senators... He was an absolute stud for the Muricans at the WJC.
Athanasiou on Detroit needs a big boost. He has been quietly been scoring at a 20 goal pace since last year. It's also important to note that Athanasiou has been doing this with third and fourth line time. I really believe this kid has a tone of potential but he has a coach who since coming in for Babcock, has significantly lowered Detroit's best offensive weapons in the past few years numbers (Nyquist and Tatar). Athanasiou's potential should be medium top six or high top six and 81-83 overall.
Also, Mantha is having a great year and should be 83-86 with medium elite potential
Johnny, I'm a Wings fan, but you should lower Kronwall to an 84 and Ericsson to an 82. They're both pretty slow nowadays, and their puck handling isn't the best.
Refpuck mantha needs a up, like lower 80, but he is going to be good tho!
you did not put Colin White for the Ottawa Senators in the game he was a stud for USA,looks just like Bergeron
I really wanted to see a Fantasy draft by you Johnny and see how your squad would stack up
How far can you create prospects for? And how do u make sure they don't go into the draft early
What about Colin White, Jeremy Bracco, Eriksson Ek and Thomas Chabot
Add Khl stars to the free agency!!! Kovi, Dadonov!!!
Forgot to edit Joe Veleno. He's the first exceptional status player to be drafted into the QMJHL. He's eligible for the 2018 NHL entry draft. He's gonna be a stud. Plays on the Saint John Sea Dogs
beck is doing good for the condors in the ahl. possible turn him to a 4th or 3rd line player for the future?
hey Johnny for Ottawa you should put Chris Wideman to 83. He's been their 3rd best defensman all season
Just a few things to point out. Matthews should be a low/med franchise. And if you decide to go with low then you should bump down Eichel to low franchise too. Keep Laine at high elite and change Puljujärvi to med-elite. Also, Dubnyk > Bobrovsky. CBJ's major contribution were their offence so make Bobrovsky 91 and Dubnyk 92-93. Bump down Lundqvist to 90 overall but let him keep his high elite. Raanta should be around 85ish. And I don't know if you've changed it but fix A.Nylander to med-elite playmaker and change his stats. He always becomes a rookie with 99 in offensive-awareness and passing for me if you don't fix him, and he is not a two-way forward. Last but not least, Rasmus Dahlin in Linköping, SHL should get a real boost to med-elite, since he's supposed to be a really promising defenceman in both ends of the ice in the future.
Lill Jacke gotta jack up Matthews shooting to match Laines goal production too
Holy Adrianna. But Eichel deserves medium franchise? I'll pick Matthews over Eichel any day. I just said that Eichel and Matthews should have same potential whether it's low or medium franchise. And I know Dahlin deserves medium franchise but he still have a few years to develop and hasn't played a game in NHL so i was thinking he could have High-elite or low-franchise to begin with but he'll certainly be a med-franchise in the future.
On another note, Martinez is nowhere near a 87 overall low elite player. He's been so overrated since the gwg against the Rangers. He should be a 85 overall low or medium top 4 player.
Lill Jacke Matthew doesn't deserve Franchise, only players that will most likely be Hall of Famers ex. Mcdavid, Crosby. Matthews isn't and never will be anywhere near the 2, more close to a Malkin or Draisaitl
The way that the two of them are playing Matthews and Laine, there is a case to be made that they both could be Franchise potential, they both could eclipse 40 goals this year, and look to be a key part of the next group of generational talents.
can I also ask you of you edited Kailer Yamamoto? and of so what his rating and potential are?
On the Hawks make Kruger 82-83, he's the Hawks best Penalty Killer
Nikita Scherbak, Mikhail Sergachev, and Noah Juulsen need upgraded overalls and potentials if you didn't already do it.
Lehkonen also needs an Overall boost for sure. He's on pace for a near 20 goal season and is only a 75 overall in the original roster.
Can you try to add Kirill Kaprizov(Minnesota Wild prospect),Denis Gurianov(Dallas Stars prospect), and Upgrade Rasmus Dahlin who is supposed to be a top prospect in 2018(Frolunda HC in the SHL)
Denis Gurianov is in the game, not sure where, just remember acquiring him from Dallas in my Franchise Mode lol
whats sebastian ahos overall. i feel like he was 67 or something when i did canes gm. should be better.
Make sure you create Colin White (Ottawa) he was a beast in the World Juniors. Also give Thomas Chabot a big boost/higher potential
