Anyone understand how prospect development works or how the progress reports are supposed to be interpreted? I had Puempel who started the season at 81 overall, so I played him on the second line and gave him some PP time. Throughout the season, he kept growing and by season's end he was 88 overall. During the off-season, the progress report shows his original overall as 79, with a modified overall due to attribute increases of 81. By the start of the next season he's an 83 overall...
When he was surging, I checked the progress reports and it was showing that his attribute increases were due to natural growth as opposed to statistical growth. I was always under the impression that natural growth was permanent, where as statistical growth was the one that resets at the end of the season because it represents the player being on a hot streak.

When players go up a lot of overalls during the regular season, I think that just has to do with their success. It's not permanent, I had Jones go from an 87 to a 94 one season as well, but ended up at like an 88 or 89 by the next season.

Do you guys use the cap?
I find some of the rosters appear to be too good to be true, so I was just wondering how many of you use it? I personally like it because it makes the game seem more realistic.

I know in the older games they had like hot-streaks and cold-streaks where the player would be given one if they did exceptionally good/bad and they would get better or worse, i think it's just the same but a lengthen one that goes out through the season and playoffs.
Could have some impact on the growth aswell, or it should have atleast.

I use it. It is pretty easy to stack your top 6 once you realize it is pointless to spend 3 million dollars on a third liner who doesn't get any PP time and won't score a lot.
My team has won 5 Stanley Cups in 6 years, all with simming the regular season and playoffs. Get a 90 overall goaltender and Jonathan Drouin, and you are almost unstoppable. Hell, I won my most recent cup with Drouin not playing a single playoff game!
But how old was he and what was the source of the growth? Success typically translates into statistical growth which resets at season's end. From my experience, natural growth was always permanent.
I think that's the statistical growth part of it for sure. In my case, it was the other way around. Puempel was having a so-so season but then started to grow (through natural growth) which led him to having a much better season statistically.

Lets Go Jackets!
Blue Jackets Cap Strong Preseason
The Jackets finished their preseason last night with an overtime loss to Nashville, but the loss didn't affect captain Gabriel Landeskog, "I think we were great in every game this preseason, but sometimes the bounces just don't go our way".
The Jackets finished 5-1-1 to give themselves a nice morale boost after last year's first round exit in the playoffs.
Newcomers William Nylander, Adam Erne, and Blake Clarke fit right in with the high scoring offense, and will look to help the Jackets for years to come.
Here's the projected lineup for the season opener against New Jersey.
Rychel (88) - Mackinnon (89) - Galchenyuk (89)
Landeskog (C)(88) - Draisaitl (88) - Nylander (86)
Clarke (85) - McDavid (86) - Kucherov (85)
Jenner (A)(83) - Granlund (84) - Erne (83)
Murray (95) - Schultz (A)(87)
Honka (86) - Hamilton (86)
Ceci (85) - Goloubef (79)
Bobrovsky (85)
Dansk (85)

Exact same question
I like to do GM modes with salary cap off usually just so I can build a team to my liking, but for the current fantasy draft challenge one i'm doing currently is the first time i've had salary cap on in a while.
It's more restrictive now, but in years past those guys didn't care to ask for more money based on potential. I'd offer them max-term, lower-salary deals and would be able to get them locked up for a long time. Perhaps that's what happened here.

What rosters does everyone use for BeAGM? Are the ones from OS pretty good in terms of prospects?

Anybody think faceoffs might be an important stat when it comes to a centre scoring?
I simmed a year with Nashville last night based off of the Spezza to Nashville rumours. Here's a run down of how it went.....
I sent Spezza/Stone/Da Costa/Gryba to Nashville in exchange for Wilson/Ellis/forget the third player but he was of decent value.
Spezza was the team's top scorer with 70 points in 71 games. In typical Spezza fashion, he had a rotating carousel of wingers as guys playing with him would get hot statistically, and then fall of a cliff.
But the reason I ask this question is because of who my second leading scorer was......MATT CULLEN.
The guy is only 82 overall. He started on the third line, a few weeks into the season he was scoring at a high pace, so I gave him the 2nd line centre spot, with Fisher being pushed back to the third line. He ended the season with 20something goals, and 50-60 points. Which for an 82 overall centre playing with wingers in the 79-82 range, is pretty good.
His offensive awareness isn't very high, so it couldn't be that. He is very unremarkable in every stat. The only stat he is great in, is that he has an 85 faceoff. This leads me to believe that maybe faceoff stats play a huge role in how the game sims. If you're team is more likely to have the puck off draws, they are more likely to score.
Some other notes.....
Trying to not raid other team's prospects, since that's sort of unrealistic. Would Tampa Bay ever trade Drouin? It only really makes sense in a situation where you're sending an equal prospect over, and it's more of a swap due to positions. I'm also trying to respect real life NTC's since it creates more of a strategic element.
With the acquisition of Gryba, an eventual acquisition of Gonchar, and the signing of Clark from FA, the team had some nice bottom 2 defensive depth going on. Weber, Del Zotto, Josi, and Jones filled out the top 4.
After an unremarkable season partially spent on Spezza's wing, Hornqvuist (Modified NTC) was moved in a package at the dead line to acquire Callahan from Tampa Bay who put him on the trade block after having another disastrous season.
Nashville earned 50 wins and the Presidents trophy. Typical Jason Spezza got injured during the first round of the playoffs, leading to Nashville getting steamrolled by Chicago in the second round, who made it to the cup finals, only to lose in a game 7 to........................Montreal.
Now I'm about to do the draft..........
Here are Nashville's priorities for the off season.....
-Trade up in the draft in order to select Nylander.
-Attempt to re-sign Callahan to a long term deal.
-Nashville has what works out to 4 top pairing defenders. After a breakout season, Del Zotto could be sent else where in order to acquire a proper potential 1st line sniper to play with Spezza. The rumoured trading partner? The Edmonton Oilers. Yakupov needs a change of scenery after, and Edmonton needs improvements on defense. Edmonton had a terrible year, but they weren't terrible enough to fall into a position to draft Ekblad. (Del Zotto + + for Yak would never happen in real life.....but the EA Developers seem to love Del Zotto and built him into a young top pairing d-man....which obviously doesn't reflect his real life position)

I'm the same way as you, that I wont trade a guy for a franchise guy on another team. For instance if I want Duran, I have to pick him up in free agents, if Tampa was dumb enough to put him there.

During the summer of 2015, Hawks decide not to resign Toews and the Sens decided not to resign Spezza. Yeah right.
Well Toews just got 18 points for me in the first 10 games, what a stud.

If you play with the Cap on, I am guessing they didn't have the money for both Kane and Toews. I usually see one of them in free agents every Dynasty. Most teams don't think ahead that they will need 12mil for there stud signing.
I saw that one time too, when I took a look I saw they signed a stupid contract with I forget who, but it was a 11mil contract for 5 years with a 37yr old. That whole dynasty they were picking in the top 10 in the draft after that.

Anyone else have the problem where they just cannot win in the playoffs? No matter how stacked my team is something ridiculous always ends up happening. Two years ago I was up 3-0 in the 1st round and ended up losing 4 straight. This year I made the second round and got swept; my team scored 1 goal in 4 games on Pavelec
Did a complete rebuild of the Flames and currently in the playoffs in 2017.
Team is (lines are what they currently are in the playoffs):
Matt Calvert (83) - Jonathan Toews (95) - Max Reinhart (85)
Sven Baertschi (86) - Sean Monahan (83) - Kris Versteeg (80)
Dwight King (81) - Tommy Wingels (82) - Antoine Roussel (80)
Corban Knight (83) - Troy Brouwer (80) - Dale Weise (78)
Mark Giordano (86) - Justin Falk (82)
Joni Pitkanen (85) - Alex Martinez (81)
Troy Brodie (81) - Carlo Colaiacovo (80)
Robin Lehner (85)
Oscar Dansk (84)
Top prospects: Sam Reinhart, AHL (81), Leo Draisaitl, AHL (70), Petr Straka, AHL (75), Julius Honka, AHL (78), Connor McDavid, minors (72)
1st round we went down 0-2 to the Jets, I made the line changes (Knight off the 1st line and to the 2nd line). We won the series 4-3, winning game 7 7-1.
2nd round we went down 0-2 to the Canucks, scoring one goal in those games on home ice. I moved Calvert to the top line, Baertschi down to the 2nd and Knight to the 4th and Roussel to the 3rd. We got a game with 5 goals, but only scored 12 in the 6 game series that we won 4-2.
Had a 3-1 series lead over the Wild in the conference finals, blew it to 3-3 but won game 7 to head to the finals, which I'm currently in now.

So now in the summer of 2016, the Kings decide not to resign Kopitar? Ah okay there. Think I may have to try and get him now..
About the Toews situation, yeah usually I see Kane in fee agency. First time I've seen Toews there.
