EHM The Blue Line

Hey I just have a question to how much time would a team give to you to rebuild the team. And I'm assuming that if the team is showing progress you'll have more time and if your getting slaughtered less time right?

The most time I ever had to rebuild was 5 season(NHL). I wasn't really rebuilding, more like trying to get fired and seeing how long it took, But that came after many seasons of success.

in the 30's (2030's that is) i got a top 5 pick 6 seasons in a row, then won the Stanley Cup the next year. I probably could've done better in those seasons but well it worked out well in the end

pff never rebuilding is the way to go

Rebuilding is generally the way I want to go cause my goaltender is 40 and most of the key and core players are getting into their mid-30's.

I didn't rebuild per se, but as the Canucks. I traded for picks to get even more cap space. Guys like Mitchell were dealt for picks and I signed cheaper undrafted guys instead. I like the cap flexibility.

kinda fun to just let head coach take over the team and sim fast through the season, and draft the goodies, wave the oldies goodbye, kick out the baddies, and getting a "fresh start" with new superheroes!

Ideally, you start drafting replacements 3 years or so down the line so they are ready to step in once the older players leaves/retires. I would hope that once your goalie hit 35 or so that you would start thinking about who is next in line. Even if it means trading draft picks or possible players. Also, you should have a general idea of who is going to be filling out your lines over the next few years based on current roster and who is on the farm.
