NHL 12 Dynasty Thread Part 4

[anatsu]

Stars seems to be unbeaten

Dallas Stars have won now eight straight game and made pretty much sure that they will be playing in playoffs. Even though half of the season is still to be played. Stars are now third in Western Conference, but they lead their division by 7 points and their game has just got going. Dallas have won 11 of its' last 12 games. Before that they lost three games in a row, so man can say that Rangers-trade turned this organization to the right direction.

"Yes, guys have been unbelievable. They want win and it's showing on the ice. We are in good balance with our roster and there is healthy competition going in our roster. Example for last game we dropped Toby Petersen off, who has been great in his role, and took Carl Hagelin to play with our NHL-team. He made right away great goal and we will be giving him PP minutes too", said Stars GM Anatsu Southfield about his team.

"We are still though actively on the market looking if there are players who could help us. I don't want to give up picks, though. Some roster players could be on the move."

Sheldon Souray 83 - Adam Pardy 80
Michael Del Zotto 81 - Mark Fistric 82
Wade Redden 79 - Stephane Robidas 81

Kari Lehtonen 87
Antero Niittymäki 82

Only some good left winger prospect would be nice to get to replace Nystrom at some point.. after that rebuild pretty much done.

Suggestion
Eriksson - Dubinsky - Hagelin
Kane - Stepan - Little
Ott - Fiddler - Ryder
Nystrom - Dowell - Burish

Naah. Dubi+Little and Kane+Eriksson seems to play good when they are together and not so good when parted. Maybe changing Ott's and Nystrom's places, but that Ott-Dowell-Burish unbelievable grinder line.

Okay, you should try Ott as center, he is very good as a center.

Well, that too could be one option.

Then lines would go:

Kane - Stepan - Eriksson
Dubinsky - Fiddler - Little
Hagelin - Ott - Ryder
Nystrom - Dowell - Burish

I forgot to update my Canucks dynasty, but I'm now in year 7 and winning Cups left and right...


E. Kane (89) - Hodgson (90) - C. Stewart (88)
A. Lehkonen (87) - Kesler (92) - J. Gregoire (84)
N. Varlamov (85) - G. Gauthier (84) - Hansen (84)
Teravainen (81) - P. Maillet (81) - F. Turbide (83)

Edler (89) - Pokka (87)
Vinny* (88) - Tanev (87)
A. Pelech (87) - P. Beutler (84)

Allen (91)
Lack (84)

*Created player

Won four straight Cups with the Sedins/Luongo core, then let most of them walk and the younger guys I had are just tearing the league apart.

I abused the game a bit - at the beginning of the season, you can look at the Team Reports and see which ones are the weakest. Then you can simply add a low pick to your first rounder and swap them for the weak team's 1st and it's pretty much a guaranteed top 10 pick and often a top 5 one.

and it seems really easy to trade away veteran players for blue chip prospects or young stars. Too easy, actually.

SO, I got bored with my Habs dynasty, so I decided to start one up with their arch-rivals: The Boston Bruins!

BOSTON TRIBUNE: September 15, 2011

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has been asked to leave the GM position of the Bruins to take on a higher role in the organization. Details unknown at this time what he will be doing. Tomorrow there is a press conference scheduled to announce the new GM of the Bruins.

BOSTON TRIBUNE: September 16,2011

The Bruins have announced at their press conference the new GM of the defending Stanley Cup champs, the Bruins. His name is Mark Morrison, who used to be an advisor to the Edmonton Oilers, but is now ready to take on a more important role. This is what he had to say:
"I am so honoured that the Bruins chose me to be their new GM. I'd like to take the time to thank Mr.(Peter) Chiarelli for all the work he has put into this team and building it to be the defending Stanley Cup champs. We have a lot of work to do, but my goal is not only to make the playoffs, but to repeat as cup champs!"

When asked about the team this is what Mr. Morrison had to say:
"This team is a very well built team. Strong D, fantastic goaltending, and a potent offense. If the time comes where I feel we need to improve, I will, we are looking at all options available."

When asked about concussed player Marc Savard Mr. Morrison had an answer:
"I asked Marc(Savard) whether he thinks he's going to be ready to play ever again. His response was 'not sure'. So I offered him a role as Assistant GM, and Head of Hockey Relations. He said he'd be honoured to, so I am here to officialy announce the retirement of Marc Savard as well. He will be sorely missed as a player, but he's not leaving the organization at all."

You made a few trades that are amazing since they were made possible due to so many waiver claims My only suggestion is trying to acquire Landeskog or Nails. They are awesome (if Nails is edited correctly) Good luck with your team.

Stars negotiating with the Sabres and the Kings

There still can be trade or two, if believing the rumors around the league. Rumors are saying that Dallas Stars are scouting and negotiating with the Buffalo Sabres and the Los Angeles Kings.

This could mean left winger trade, which has been rumored also some time ago.

After that eight game winning streak Dallas had four game losing streak. Now Dallas have won two games and seem to be getting their game back on track.

Just a general question, but are they're any proven methods to tanking in this game? Like whenever I do a rebuild of a team and trade all the good players the team either makes the playoffs or gets a pick in the 10-14 range, never a top 10 pick. Suggestions?

Anaheim if those don't interest

I created a team with lowest rated players from international teams (primarily Japan, Germany, and Norway) and I only won 10-15 games. It was fun to trade some picks to get more top 10 picks but I can't guarantee it will happen again.

You can also play the first period of a game and pull your goalie and then quit after the period. Don't know if you have the time but that can also help you lose A TON of games.

Easy. Sign a free agent goalie with lowest overall ratings and play him as the starter all 82 games i always get first overall pick

thanks for your suggestions, im gonna try them. Its so annoying when a team i know in real life would be s sure fire top 5 pick and ends up as the #7 seed in the playoffs or just misses it. when you trade almost all of your teams core players and make the playoffs, somethings wrong haha

[BlueGreenMan]

Want to start a franchise but one thing is bugging me. At the start of season a ton of NHL players
(Kronwall,Timonen,Mike Fisher and multiple others) are in the AHL. I know this was a problem
before but I thought it got solved. I even edited some salary for upcoming UFA's on those teams to
give them tons of cap space but to no avail. Any help with this problem? It would be very appreciated Thanks.

BTW keep up the dynasty's love this thread.

[velodim]

This game is so annoying when it comes to the contracts. The salary should be based on the amount of points earned not the overall raitings... Come on, Wolski 84 overall in 2017 asks me for 4.2 millions a year playing on a 3rd line 15G 22A. Plus so many other players get over 85 in this game, 3rd and 4rd line players want big $$$$.... Fleury is 96 overall at age of 36, asks for 11 Millions, go suck a cactus...

[anatsu]

Stars close to make a deal with the Kings?

Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings are close to make a deal. Stars and Kings have now negotiated couple weeks about the details of deal and we have been told that the deal is close to be happen when deadline is coming closer.

There are 13 games in Stars' schedule left before trade deadline.

Okay guys I have one quick question that needs your input.

So I have a Stars Dynasty and my centers are Giroux (90),Brassard (89) and Nugent-Hopkins (88).

I have to get rid of one of them because have no cap space for my goalie Jack Campbell who is a 90 overall and his ELC ends this year.

So which one should I trade and should I trade him for picks or prospects?

I'd trade Brassard - for picks if they're high picks and if I know there's good prospects in the draft, for prospects if I find one or more players for position(s) that I find lacking in my team.
