sometimes the best thing to happen to you in the draft is you don't get the guy you wanted. Gregos got Sarno... and his 61 stamina.

I've been picking so late for so long I haven't had a good look at a good player in about three years. I'm also assuming everyone else has their training/scouting up to level 9 now, so they screw up less for me to take advantage of behind them. They days of a stud like Jollie falling to 20th overall (or 10th now) are LONG gone.

WAIT!

What's going on with Probie's health? All his guys are at, like 60. He have a long practice on a game day?

It's time to experiment with my own lines again.

Any time I've tried it in the past, using guys how I think they best fit (eg best faceoffs guys at center, a true checking line) the team has bombed miserably.  So I always go back to the auto assign.

But it's been a while.  I may target 1 FA, 2 at most, and try to build lines I like the look of.

That's what he gets for maxing out the first two series.

It's a ***** when you set up your practice for the whole month and then don't adjust it when the playoffs start.

I'll use the auto assign if I've got a guy hurt and I'm playing a string of AI teams. For the big ole matchups against you guys, I don't want prokhorov being assigned to my #1 pp unit (I don't care if he's a specialist, his off rating is 81). Stupid AA.....

one checker (SPD>STR, high DEF, F/OFF a plus) makes it a checking line. I only have two checkers on the team.

Watch the combination of skills so you don't put two guys with the same weakness on the same line. Two bad attitudes on the same line (with maybe another one on D) = penalties, e.g.

And I see my guys are 10 health below what they should be.

basically, STR>SPD and SP>SA = defenseman

SPD>STR and SA>SP = forward, if DEF>OFF, they're a checker.

Not an absolute rule, but that's the NHN formula.

Bonus if your checker has a grinder icon.

speed = 4 games played. health around 90
brain = 5 games played. health around 75
probert = 6 games played. health at 60

Atrain just took the lead on me with 13:30 to go in the Deuce. Looks like it's just the Superleague with the health thing.

yeah, but day off = +20 health (+10 for a new day, +10 bonus for no training schedule). Hard to play anyone but your goalie so much you take his health below 80.
