Matt Rayment's Rangers beat Nick Calv's Canucks 4-3 in the Stanley Cup final
Won the Stanley Cup, Calder Cup & OHL play offs!!! not a bad career so far it seems :-D :-D

Due to not really developing much it seems setting myself to be all offense & not much else wern't such a great idea!!! I cant see me breaking into the top 2 lines anytime soon, So next season any chance i can be sent down to the AHL or loaned to another team ?? im just not meant for playing on the 3rd or 4th line.

Maybe trade me to a team low on Right Wingers ??

Went from a potential better Jagr to a Corey Perry to now a 3rd or 4th liner.......what went wrong :-p

In my Chicago challenge Jagr was an AHLer. The team did it to get under the cap and no one had the room to claim him at waivers.

Well, packed on another 3 lbs. Now stand at 6'5" 213lbs.

Strength, Passing, Positioning, and Slapshot all went up by one. Seem to be scoring more now that I'm on the Wings, got a raise too, first contract over 1M. Sweet.

Hey Calv can you either A move me to a team thats short of centers or B send me to the minors whichever one you think would be better for my development because I'm not developing as a center on the 4th line wing

You've started the season as first line centre, and you're scoring just under a point a game, so I'll keep you at the panthers for the time being

I cannot believe it! :doh: With Hitchkok in charge, ZERO improvement since the last year?!!! :doh: I only hope it's because of that annoying injury (Torn ACL,3 months), not a potential limit, otherwise my boy seems to be suited to a no more than a 2nd liner's role on a pretty boring team : :-(:-(:-(

Alright yeah, I just didn't want to waste my development playing a role my guy wasn't suited for.

Wil Mazerolle is 2nd line LW with A. Hilbert & T. Wagar. He is 1st line PK with M. Bossi

darn ... straight-up for a 4th rounder, and traded for the 2nd time within a year. My guy stinks, and he looked so promising in juniors. He also improved none from the past season and stamina went down. At least in the Atlanta organization he was playing for my favorite AHL club; now that's done too. :cry:

Update done :thup:

Having a look through all of the players Current Ability(CA) and the Potential Ability(PA) I noted that only 3 players currently have their CA the same as their PA. Most players are below, with the average about 20 or 30 points of CA below the PA, so I think there will be quite a few late bloomers as the years progress

My guy has been traded around a lot: from St. Louis to Carolina to Pittsburgh to Columbus. Quite the journeyman at the tender age of age 23. :-D They grow up so fast.:cry:

Wow, 28 points in 60 games for a 4th line centre and limited PP time is not bad at all.

You've still got quite a way to go before you reach your potential :thup:

Nick Calv's Vancouver Canucks defeated Matt Rayment's New York Rangers 4-3 in the Stanley Cup final

San Antonio Rampage beat Providence Bruins in the Calder Cup final 4-2. However Denny Pick was injured for the final, and Mikko Tasku had been moved to the CHL before the final.

Victoria won the Kelly Cup, sweeping Johnstown. There were no TBL players in the final.

Maple Leafs' Andre Vissia won the James Norris memorial trophy, he was also 46th highest points scorer in the NHL
