NHL 12 Dynasty Thread Part 5

[David Suzuki]

I think I'm going to start a dynasty here soon. I'm debating which team to use.

-Create a team in Quebec City: Expansion team, chose one player from each team (within reason of course, so mostly depth guys and older guys with bad contracts) and build from the ground up.

-Montreal Canadiens: My favorite team, team I know the best, I know their prospects etc... Only issue I see is that I may overrate players because of favoritism.

-Philadelphia Flyers: I'm a Habs fan so I have no real emotional attachment to players, but I do live Giroux. They're a very good team and have a TON of depth up front, just really, really need a goalie.

-New Jersey Devils: Brodeur is almost done, have to resign Parise after the season etc... would be interesting to see what I can do there IE: either trade Parise at the deadline for a huge return or keep him and risk losing him for zilch.

I should point out that I like to play as realistic as possible so I try not to exploit the terrible trade AI. I like to think that would I do this trade as either teams GM before I even consider throwing an offer the CPU' way. I also turn waivers off because I get annoyed when I see Cory Schneider being sent down to the AHL. I also turn injuries off because sadly injuries happen way too often in the game, though I am debating if I should turn them on for the sake of realism, which is what I strive for as best I can. Let me know what you guys think of my ideas and which team I should try and run!

People tend to avoid doing Montreal dynasties around here, so that's my vote. Would be fun to follow.

Islanders sign Sykora

New York Islanders have signed free agent Petr Sykora for one year contract. Contract is a two-way and worth of 1.030M dollars. He will be an UFA after this season.

"We thought many options and felt that this could be the right one, at first at least. Petr is scoring winger and we hope that he can help our hockey team", said Islanders GM Southfield.

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 Stanley Cup Finals

Mississauga vs. Edmonton. 2015 Stanley Cup Finals.
Mavericks Take Game 7 From Rangers, Off To First SCF
The Mississauga News – Wednesay, May 27, 2015

Cam Barker and the Edmonton Oilers return to the Stanley Cup Finals after losing last year to the Ottawa Senators​

The Mississauga Mavericks are advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since relocating after winning a decisive Game 7 by the score of 5-0. Cam Ward picked a great game to tie Martin Brodeur’s 12 year old record of 7 shutouts in a single post-season, stopping every shot that the New York Rangers could throw at him, while receiving offensive support that had gone missing in the previous three games. A great individual rush and finish by Jeff Skinner opened the scoring at 5:06 of the first period. Both of Skinner’s linemates would score in the third period, while the Mavs 4th line and 2nd liner Brenden Morrow potted goals in the second.

Last year, the Ottawa Senators became the first Canadian team win the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993, this was also the first meeting of two Canadian teams (Sens/Oilers) in the Stanley Cup Finals since the Habs and Flames met in 1989. Both of those things will be repeated for a second straight year as the Mississauga Mavericks will take of the Edmonton Oilers for the 2015 Stanley Cup. Mississauga is the NHLs newest team, having relocated from Carolina in 2012-2013. The Hurricanes had won one cup in their franchise history in 2006, a team that had Justin Williams and Cam Ward on it. Williams had left the Canes, won his second Stanley Cup with the LA Kings in 2012, and now returns to the finals with the Mavericks. The Edmonton Oilers were denied the glory of the Stanley Cup last year and despite being this year’s 6th seed in the West, find themselves once again in the Finals. The Oilers sport young talented forwards in Taylor Hall, Magnus Paajarvi and Jordan Eberle. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been sidelined for the entire playoffs with a concussion. Rookie and 2013 6th round selection Eric Locke has performed well in his absence. The Oilers most dangerous weapon however, is Cam Barker. Barker led all NHL defenseman with 68 points this year, and his +22 rating on an otherwise average regular season squad makes him a Norris favourite.

There is a lot of talent on the ice for this Stanley Cup Finals. The Mavericks Jeff Skinner, Lars Eller, Zach Boychuk, Justin Williams, Jamie McBain, Marc Staal and Cam Ward against the Oilers Taylor Hall, Sam Gagner, Jordan Eberle, Cam Barker, Ryan Whitney and Rick DiPietro. Puck drops in Mississauga tonight at 8:00pm

The Montreal Canadiens: An NHL 12 Be a GM

The Montreal Canadiens are the most storied franchise in hockey history. No one even comes close. The fans are rabid for success and anything less than a competitive on ice product who contend for the Stanley Cup year after year leave the fans wanting more. The 2010-11 season ended the toughest of ways; a game 7 loss to your long time, historical rival in over time. One shot separated the Habs from the eventual Stanley Cup Champions (Boston) and the golf course. None the less the 2011-2012 season begins soon with the highest of expectations. Can they carry their success in to the next year, or will they fall to live up tot he pressure.

New General Manager Tyler White is tasked with leading his club to the promised land. "I grew up a Habs fan. The passion is in my blood going back to when my grandfather watched legends such as Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau, to my father with the Lafleur generation to me with the Roy generation. I am looking to restore honor to the CH. The roster for day one of the regular season is below.

The 2011-2012 Montreal Canadiens (October 1, 2011)

Max Pacioretty-David Deshernais-Erik Cole
Rene Bourque-Tomas Plekanec-Brian Gionta

I admit the 2011-2012 season will go by quickly, if only because in real life we are of course at the end. I will probably be at the draft in no time, but I will try and keep updated while I get there. The rest of the seasons will be much, much more timely/realistic in terms of time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Habs look to move Gomez

Most view it as the impossible task, to move Scott Gomez, or more importantly the near 8 million dollars he is costing his current club. Traded for in 2010, Gomez has slowly regressed to being scratched from the teams opening day roster. New GM White says he is looking for suitors but is finding it difficult. "We are looking for a team for Scott, but it seems like the market is totally saturated. We have no time table for a move right now," admitted the 36 year old General Manager who is the leagues youngest. The most likely scenario for Gomez appears to be either a buy out during the off season or being sent down to Hamilton which will force him to go through waivers. Stay tuned for the latest.​

There were a few surprises in the rankings. Notably Dylan Willick and Maxime Levesque in the top 10 among North Ameircan skaters. The ISS reminds us these are very early rankings and will change over the course of the upcoming season. A key player ranked low is Griffin Reinhart, the ISS gave no explanation for this low ranking of 43rd for the Oil Kings defender. Jacob Trouba was ranked 44th which puzzled many. As always, expect changes as the season progresses.​

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS
The Mississauga News – Wednesday, May 27, 2015

The Mississauga Mavericks are your 2015 Stanley Cup Champions​

The Mississauga Mavericks eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers in 7 games, the Florida Panthers in 5 games, the New York Rangers in 7 games and the Edmonton Oilers in 6 games, becoming the 2015 Stanley Cup Champions. The six game series win included a gritty 4-3 Game 5 OT win, a convincing 5-1 Game 2 win, and two heartbreaking one-goal losses in Games 1 and 3. In the 25 games it took to win hockey’s greatest prize, the Mavericks were led by Jeff Skinner’s 25 points. Zach Boychuk notched 21, Eller 18, and Morrow and Williams both contributed 17. In an unlikely turn of events, two Mavericks fourth liners put up surprising numbers. Danish pivot Peter Regin and human-fridge Ben Eager hovered around the 0.50PPG mark and were key in the cup victory.

The 2015 Stanley Cup is first cup for the Mississauga Mavericks, but the second for the franchise as the Carolina Hurricanes won in 2006 with a team that included Justin Williams and Cam Ward. Cam Ward takes home his 2nd career Conn Smythe Trophy after putting up godly numbers and tying Martin Brodeur’s 2003 record of 7 shutouts.

“This is what you dream of… You can’t really put it into words… I just… It’s unbelievable” said a teary-eyed Jeff Skinner. Skinner captained the team in his hometown of Toronto for the last 3 years since they relocated. Brothers Marc and Jared Staal were seen sharing a lengthy embrace after the final buzzer. All four Staal brothers have now won the Stanley Cup, Eric was the first, oddly enough for the same Carolina/Mississauga franchise. Marc commented, “It’s the best feeling in the world, and the only thing better is that I got to share that experience with my brother, I think that’s a very unique and special privilege.”

MAVS win series 4-3
Game 1: 1-0 L
Game 2: 5-1 W
Game 3: 2-1 L
Game 4: 3-2 W
Game 5: 4-3 W OT
Game 6: 5-2 W

Congrats! I've only actually managed to win the cup once in NHL 12 haha.

 

[mjd]

I'm fairly sure I've done that. I don't remember off the top of my head but I think the pro team part is set to Anaheim but blacked out. The "year drafted" option is set to undrafted..

EDIT: Also, do they have to be on a CHL team?

So before you create the guy, press the randomize button and check until the pro team option is not blacked out set it to none and good luck

Can you help me? I need to talk to an administrator as I am being bullied for my sexuality, and I really don't think that is nessasary as we're all here for hockey discussion not discrimation...


Anyways...good luck and have Aton of fun!!

 

[The Reaper]

The Tampa Bay Lightning are 13-2-2 to start the season off

The team plays great defense but the offense can't score ( somebody give me tips on what to change? )

the lines are

S.Gagne - J.Toews - J.Lupul
T.Galiardi - M.Fisher - J.McGinn
D.Miller - T.Brent - C.Armstrong
G.Parros - D.Steckel - M.Brown

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 NHL Entry Draft

2015 Draft Report
Mavericks First Round Includes a Big Risk in a Small Package
The Mississauga News - Wednesday, June 24, 2015​

PHI 1/17; D Alex Yuill; Canada; 6’0†175; Barrie Colts OHL


-Barrie Colts defenseman Alex Yuill was a relatively safe pick for the Mavericks picking with the Flyers 17th pick. Yuill puts up 33 points in 61 games for the Colts this past season, using his above-average offensive instincts. Even when he’s not producing, the Wellington, ON native’s otherwise well-rounded games makes him a difference maker for the Colts.

MIS 1/30; C Daniel Desjardins; Canada; 5’9†177; Blainville-Boisbriand Armada QMJHL

-With their own pick at 30th overall, the Mavericks selected diminutive Quebecois centre Daniel Desjardins. Desjardins stands 5’9†and hails from Pincourt, QC, home of former Maverick Alex Burrows. Desjardins is purely a one-dimensional player, using an elite shot and puck-control to put up 97 points for the QMJHL’s Armada. Desjardins size and complete disregard for defensive play dropped the otherwise supremely skilled players severely in the draft, but Mavericks staff think they can teach Desjardins a more complete game.

DAL 2/35; G Robinson Rank; Canada; 6’4†209; Kootenay Ice WHL


-A goalie was selected by the Mavericks at 35th overall after acquiring the pick for depth defenseman Justin Faulk. Kootnay Ice’s Robinson Rank was the Mavs pick. The big-framed netminder uses a good glove hand and great rebound control but could work on his speed and movement.

MIS 4/120; D Grant Sasaki; USA; 6’6†220; Youngstown Phantoms USHL

-Grant Sasaki, a towering American defenseman from the USHL, mas selected 120th overall. Sasaki is committed to join the NCAA’s Colorado College. The Washington, DC native uses his tall frame well, possessing good strength and shot blocking ability. While he has an offensive skillset that is lacking, Sasaki’s long legs give him good speed, although he is not particularly agile.

MIS 5/150; RW Jogr Jahr; Germany; 5’9†177; Ingolstadt DEL


-Similar to Desjardins, 5th round pick Jorg Jahr is a small, defensively challenged forward. Jahr possesses good speed and a good shot, but is definitely a project.

MIS 6/180; LW Henrik Ottosson; Sweden; 6’0†222; Frolunda SEL

-Henrik Ottosson was the Mavericks 6th round selection. The big-framed Swede is a grinding winger, bringing a unique physicality. Ottosson is capable of the odd garbage goal, but his contributions remain mostly in supplying energy.

MIS 7/210; D Stephen Almond; USA; 6’1†218; Bishop Canevin High School USHS

-Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania high school Stephen Almond was the last pick of the draft. Almond played for Bishop Canevin High School in Pittsburgh, and will join the Ohio State Buckeyes. Almond plays with a mean-streak that made him unpopular among high school referees, and should he one day turn pro, expect the fists to start flying.

MAVERICKS Receive:
DAL 2nd Round Pick 2015
STARS Receive:
D Justin Faulk 80C

Habs Off Season 2012

After failing to make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years, the Habs know they had a ton of work ahead of them for the off season. It should be an exciting off season in Montreal!

June 10, 2012,
The LA Kings have won the Stanley Cup! The Kings, 5th seed in the West defeated the 2nd seeded Buffalo Sabres in a 7 game series which went right down to the wire. The Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks in 5, the San Jose Sharks in 6 and then the Detroit Red Wings in 5 in a pretty easy road to the cup. Buffalo on the other hand beat the New Jersey Devils in 6, the Toronto Maple Leafs in 4 straight then had a tough and emotional 7 game series with their division rivals; the Boston Bruins before heading off the finals which they would eventually lose. The Conn Smythe Trophy was awarded to Jonathan Quick as playoff MVP.

Other award winners were:
Hart Trophy: Steven Stamkos
James Norris Trophy: Sergei Gonchar
Lady Byng: Steven Stamkos
Calder: Ryan Nugent Hopkin
Vezina: Jimmy Howard

Habs 2012 Draft Picks

MTL 1/14 C Radek Faksa Kitcher Rangers Ontario Hockey League

"We had to chose Radek. We debated him or Derrick Pulliot, but went with Faksa. He is a big bodied centre that we think, with time, will be able to jump in to a top six role right away. Our scouts loved his physicality and his goal scoring ability. He had 67 points this year in the OHL.

NSH 2/42 D Erik Nystrom Modo of the SEL

"We thought Erik posesed great offensive instincts. He played the past season in probably the 3rd or so best league in the world at 18. He had 2 points, but showed a lot of the skills we were looking for. He should be AHL ready next season."

MTL 2/44th Overall D Ludvig Bystrom of Modo of SEL.

"Another Modo player, we think Ludvig has elite skills already and will do well to play in the AHL next year. We think he has second pairing potential and should be in the AHL next year in Hamilton."

MTL 3/74th LW Tim Bozon Kamloops Blazers Western Hockey League

We were plesantly surprised that he fell this far. He will obviously need a lot more season, but he has the raw skills to be a top six winger in the NHL. We passed on Matt Finn, another guy we really liked who fell, but thought Bozon's skill set was ahead of Finn's.

MTL 4/104th RW Anton Zlobin Shawinigan Cataractes of the QMJHL

He was passed over in his draft year, but Zlobin was one of the best goal scorers in the entire QMJHL and even scored the Memorial Cup winning goal. He will return to the QMJHL next season and play for a contract.

MTL 6/164 G Dan Altshuller Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League.

As far as goalies go, he is very raw but still has good enough skills to one day be a good goalie in this league. He is 6'3" so he has the natural size, all it takes now is some solid coaching before he is ready to play professionally for our organization.

Islanders deal Montoya for Gomez and picks

New York Islanders have maiden a trade where they trade their goalie Al Montoya to Montreal Canadiens for center Scott Gomez and 2nd and 4th round picks in 2013 draft. 2nd round pick is originally from Nashville Predators.

"We felt that it could be good for us to take a chance to see what Scott can do on the ice. He has had couple bad season, as we all know, but I trust in him. I'm a believer", said Islanders GM Southfield.

"Dealing Al was hard, but you have to give to get. Canadiens wanted a backup for Price and they got a good guy there. We are in a good position too. We have a good tandem Harding-Poulion in our goal now. Both want prove to NHL-world that they are capable to play. Good, business deal for us."

Gomez has a hefty contract still running two season. 7.355M per year. Southfield wasn't sure if they will buy him out after the season.

The New York Islanders are right in the playoff race, only being 3 points out of the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference. Josh Bailey and Matt Moulson have led the way for the Islanders, both being the top two leaders for the most points. Newcomer Alex Edler is also having a season to remember, having 11 points in 25 games. "I feel this is the year where we could get something done, where we could be a force to reckon with," says Edler. "I'm pretty excited to see how things go." Unfortunately, Frans Nielsen is having a season to not remember. His point totals are the same this year as last season, but Nielsen has only had 1 point in the past 7 games. Islanders goaltender, Al Montoya, is having an average season, having a 2.51GAA.

Josh Bailey is having a season to remember, putting up 17 points in 25 games.​

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 Off-season

Defending A Championship
Sharp, Malone, Kindl Join Strong Mavericks Line-up
The Mississauga News - Saturday, September 19, 2015

Patrick Sharp is not just a premier two-way player, the 33 year old put up 78 points last season​

The difficult task of defending a Stanley Cup victory begins now for the Mississauga Mavericks. Not since the Detroit Red Wings in 97 and 98 has a team won back-to-back Stanley Cups. In order to ensure the Mavericks are given that opportunity, GM Julien Brisebois went to work in the off-season, adding valuable assets to the line-up. The biggest addition is Patrick Sharp who was brought in via trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. Brisebois had to put together an impressive package to pry the ever-underrated Sharp from the Blackhawks, parting ways with Dmitry Orlov, Alex Avtsin, a 1st round and a 3rd round pick in the 2016 Draft. Sharp brings an abundance of skill and, much like his centre Lars Eller, great defensive responsibility, this will allow Kirk Muller to lean heavily on his top line in all situations and take some pressure and spotlight off of Nail Yakupov. Notable departures including Andrew MacDonald who the club decided not to re-sign, and vetran Brenden Morrow. Vladislav Namestnikov decided to leave North America, signing with the KHL's SKA St.Petersburg. Ryan Malone was brought in on a one year contract, bringing experience and knowledge to a Mavericks third line that will sport two rookies in Brent Benson and Artturi Lehkonen. The Mavericks did not re-sign Andrew MacDonald, opting instead to sign Czech defender Jakub Kindl. Kindl spent the last season with the San Jose Sharks, where he put up a career high 48 points. Kindl's high-octane offensive skills should pair nicely with physical, dependable Jarred Tinordi, or top shutdown defenseman Rasmus Rissanen.

Jakub Kindl was a long time developing in the Red Wings system, but found great success with San Jose last season

Also a long time developing, Ryan Murphy's days of short stints with the Mavericks looks to be over. Murphy hopes to hold down an NHL spot this season.

Two-way centre Brent Benson led the Calder Cup Champion Charlotte Checkers in points in 2014/15. Kirk Muller believes the Saskatchewanite is ready for third-line duties.

Joel Ward comes to the Mavericks from the Washington Capitals, and was signed for depth and dependability

After an outstanding season in junior that included a Gold Medal with Canada at the World Juniors in Zurich,
London's Max Domi makes the transition to Charlotte, and will be given every opportunity to succeed.

Finnish Free Agent Konsta Makinen chose the Mavericks out of his many suitors. The 5'9" defenseman will put his excellent puck moving skills to the test in Charlotte.
