Thanks Francis, nice to see all three boys on one team again. Is it correct that they didn't played in the WC when their team one first time the championship?

In this edition of retirements we fair goodbye to an Olympic Gold Medalist and personally, one of my favourite superstars, Gunnar Gibbs. That is a name, if I've ever seen one. Right from the early days at Shattuck-St. Mary's you knew that Gibbs was going to be something special. He was a high offensive producing defenseman. He was tall and lanky, but not too big so he was very mobile. I think many wondered whether his defensive abilities would translate to the next level. He went on to have a spectacular year at Notre Dame. He set records for the school and in the NCAA. It lead to him to go on to be drafted 8th overall. Chicago was so impressed they signed him right out of college. I think looking back Chicago would have let him grow and bake a little more in college or in the minors. Gibbs struggled playing lower in the line up. Gibbs definitely got better with age. His game started to round out a lot more. The penalties were always there but we started to see his offensive game that he showed in junior translate a lot more to the NHL. He became a key part of USA Hockey for 3 olympic cycles. He is a playmaking defenseman who can make a lot happen out there and will quarter back your powerplay. Unfortunately he never won a Norris or a Stanley Cup, but I think Gibbs had amazing seasons. He's made a lot of money in his career. So far the most out of all the retiree's posted. So I think he's a player that valued money and opportunity over cups. Either way he's had a hell of a career and he was inducted into the hockey hall of fame!
Hilarious to see how Gibbs became a penalty monster in his career, love to see it.
Absolutely I love this stuff I’ll be right there on the sign up, I’ll also send you my survey when I get the moment.hope you'll join the next version. Just working on the change list! then it'll probably go up
3. Extra "EXCELLENT" rating for any of the following:
a) If you were drafted 1st OVERALL at ANY POINT (NHL Draft, CHL Import Draft, OHL/QMJHL/ in v18 - you may add one extra excellent for any category of your choice)b) However moving forward, you will set a career goal and if you hit that career goal you can obtain another excellent stat for v20.
went back and looked through the early drafts and these are all the players who went 1st overall in case they had forgotten, don't think I missed anyone

I like the idea to get awarded for the next version but it should be announced before as it has some impact how to build a player. For example European players which not choosing the Major Junior have less a chance to get first like a Canadian with that path as well it has an impact which position you choose. A goalie gets really rare a 1rst over all, right?
I like the variant B more or we vote together which 5 players have the most interesting career.
Just my cents.
overall i'm not sure it impacts stuff too much since most of our players are so good they'll get to around excellent in their main stats anyways but It is a neat reward to start off with and would make the player better early on.I like the idea to get awarded for the next version but it should be announced before as it has some impact how to build a player.
