Then his contract expired and when I wanted to re-sign him, he was asking for FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. 5 mil after ONE year in the AHL. Traded his rights to the Avs for their 1st rounder, which I later used to get Crosby.

Well, I had a 19-year-old goalie who got 'Star' reputation because he did a clean sweep in the ECHL awards ceremony -- best rookie, best goalie, league MVP. Minor league awards are way overrated.

Just noticed another guy here.

Aaron Marvin, drafted in the third round of the 06 draft by the flames.

The kid is 19, look at these freaking attributes. BTW, this is the 07-08 season.

EDIT: Haven't actually played him yet, so I don't know how good he'll be. Also, his potential is -14, which is somewhere between 90 and 160. I gotta think in my game he got a very high potential. Might not be the same in your game.

Yes! Aaron Marvin has that kind of attributes in my Sabres game too! Crazy stuff. He was a UFA for some reason when I started my game, so I signed him and sent him to Red Deer for a couple of seasons. Now he's tearing it up in Rochester as 1st line LW.

That Marvin guy has a pretty good streak going in Sucker Punch's pic...

This Aaron Marvin guy looks like he's a faked version of a college player. Anybody know who he might be?

I'm running the unfaked db. No stats, but he's in hockeydb;

Hmmm... strange. I'm not using the unfaked db and he's still in there. Maybe the db missed faking a guy?

Just noticed they're just the same, Sucker Punch. Yours has better stamina though.

Wow!! Thats a pretty good player and hes only 21 years old!!!

Iam not sure, but if I recall it well I think I signed this guy in a previous game with the Belleville Bulls...have to check it though...

I just started an 06 season, and Marvin looks like a solid prospect. The Flames own his rights, and they consider him a future franchise player and won't trade him.

I took Bruins72's advice and now I always sign Marleau at the beginning of each career, and man does it pay off, this guy is more than worth his $4M contract.

Post by **Minstrel** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 5:31 am

Yeah, Patty won the Hart in my CMB game with 115 pts, which is unreal given my top players are usually only around 20-21 minutes of icetime per game

Elias26 · Post by **Elias26** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 1:22 pm

I have a couple more I found always pay off in the first year at least. Please ignore the incorrect spelling of players names.

Scott Hannen, His average rating is almost always over 9

Dion Phanuf, A #1 Dman who always has a high rating and gets paid dirt.

Jere Lehtinen, Consistently high rating and one of the best second line left wings in the game.

Paul Karia, Usually has a rating around 7.5 but puts up big numbers.

Sorry to ask about this in here but I did a search and my problem wasn't solved. So I read about this young Dman Kulyash in many threads, yet can't find him in the game

Where is he ?

Systemfel · Post by **Systemfel** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:20 pm

Kulyash is with Dynamo Moscow ("Moscow D"). Should be easy to find.

Post by **Danny** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 1:42 am

thanks found him.
Although he simply doesn't come up in the in game search, had to look up his team manually

Maybe you had the search set to non-players? Happens to me all the time.

holydogg · Post by **holydogg** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 1:31 am

Eric Cairns is one of my must. He's no superstar, but you'll get a solid 6th d-man, capable of doing PK and fisticuff. He's also pretty cheap and consistent (in my games at least).

Needing young d-men? I usally sign Tim Hambly and John Adams to fill up my farm. They can turn-up on decent back-up and with patience, Adams can play NHL on a regular basis.

Powerslave · Post by **Powerslave** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 8:48 pm

I always end up getting Paul Gaustad. I usually have him on my third or fourth lines, hits everything and chips in timely goals, especially on the PK. Even when I set him as a shutdown player, he still rates a 7 or 8.

I also like Andrew Ladd a lot, signed him as a RFA from Carolina, only cost me a 2nd rounder. Having him and Prucha frees up a lot of money to go after the superstars.

CrockerNHL · Post by **CrockerNHL** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 6:20 pm

LW Alexandre Picard (Bluejackets) is a very good two-way player. In his 3th season, he's playing on my two offensive lines, racking 1 point per game. After his 3yrs $600K has been expired, I signed him for another 3yrs $1.47M. So he's affordable too. In my game he's 24 years old, has great determination(19) and only going to be better.

Post by **batdad** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:11 pm

I have to update it soon...but read my blog on CB Jackets. Picard is amazing, with the Bugs, but somewhere along the way he gets grumpy....Oh well.

Brule is a god in my game. So are Nash and Zherdev.

I never had Gaustad until my current game, where I traded for him in the 1st season when I was looking for grit and size. I still have him in 2011/12, he plays on the 3rd line and 1st PK, consistently getting those 7s and 8s, and he's signed through next season for about $900,000/yr. Comes highly recommended.

I've got him in my current game too. I'm playing as the Blackhawks. He's mostly a 4th liner and PK guy for me. Once in a while he plays on the 3rd line. Despite this, he's got 19 points in 68 games so far. Not shabby for a guy that's just there for toughness. He's also got 258 hits (leads the team in that category) and a few shorthanded points.

Another Sabre I love to trade for is Derek Roy. This guy is all about "character"! Bravery, Determination, Teamwork, Work Rate... all high stats! Plus he's got nice speed. Starting out he's better as a 3rd/4th line and PK guy but later on down the line he's a decent offensive threat.

I never really paid much attention to Arron Asham before but I picked him up in my current game as well. He's a great 3rd/4th line physical/grit guy.

Post by **Danny** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:40 pm

Yes I can only recommend Asham, drafted him in my previous career with a fantasy drafted Bruins team and got him in my current one with the "real" Bruins as well. Plays on a third line with Axelsson and Curtis Brown, although for some reason his +/- is nowhere near as good as his linemates' he's still good on the PK, not hesitant to stand up for his mates and drop the gloves and chips in the odd goal/assist as well, 25 points this season.
I'm playing right now at this very moment, playoff time and speaking of the devil, this 3rd line has just scored against the Devils in game 5 of the semis with Asham getting an assist
