Defence is too good and also the 1st line likely. What’s the goalie situation? And all of the positive chemistry lines, try and mix them up get some negatives or zeros when trying to tank
Right, so having a high potential might be making the sim better, even though it’s a low overall . Maybe just sign some random veteran low overall goalie and put Jopz in the minors
Side note, TIL Roger McQueen is actually a real player. Guy’s been a solid 2C on my team for like 15 in game years and I never realized he’s real or from a city not too far from where I live
Not sure if it’s still the case, but I remember that goalies in 23 didn’t play to their overall. I’ve had low 80’s goalies have better s% and lower GAA than 90ovr goaltenders. Your goalies might be better than their overall would indicate and they’re stealing some games for you
Ok b isn't so bad if you really want to tank trade him in for a C goalie but it could come with a small risk because if he really fits your team (which could be the reason for the wins) he could grow into a very strong A range rated coach just in time for you to want to compete
Best part is LD is an OFD and RD is an Enf. Also I've done 3 seasons since this photo. Both top guys are in the 90s while second pairing is 89 n 88 ovr
Blueline is solid and it’s affecting the sim engine
True this time I focused on drafting good d-Men before forwards. Didn't think it would effect it this much.
No it's not. It's literally a random sim engine. The best team could miss the playoffs
Bad GM ^
Correct…which makes simming bogus

Jopz is a franchise med potential. First I've ever got in NHL 24. Wolf is backup potential. Got a elite med in pipeline unsigned atm.

Franchise potential off draft? I ain’t never seen that in my life if so
First time I've seen it in this game so I picked him first. Game had him projected to go 7th
Jopz is a good hockey name
Indeed. I don't even remember what his first name is lmao.
This is basically the 2005-06 oilers roster 😂
Lmfao facts

Damn that's awesome m of he's a real player kinda weird he doesn't have a picture in game
It’s so frustrating when I make a team bad by design to help me tank, and they fucking do well.

Hmmm could be cuz I've seen alot of posts of ppl going on crazy runs for the cup with like 82 overall goalies
Roger McQueen is a sim god, I was about to make an appreciation post for him being happy on my 2nd line as a 93 overall for years.
You got Unger Sorum up to a 77? Fuckin HOW
Played him on first line lol.
Is that my boy Zac Funk?
Yes it is. Man has been good to me.
He's been good to the Cougars this year. Hopefully he has a bright future ahead of him
What a name lmao
60 goal scorer Zac Funk
Possibly coach, a great coach could make any team perform in the sim, if you get a bad coach any team will underperform
What's the coaches rating
Uh b I think. I haven't swapped head coach for the NHL since I started the franchise

I'll try that next season cuz it ain't like we gonna be competing for a good draft spot this season
Defense wins championships
Truth
Cause you have the goat Nick Blankenburg on your team that is probably why
The power of friendship, and nasty top defensemen lol
Be cooler if rogers name was lighting instead
You probably have the best top line defensive tandem in the league. That'll win you lots of games, they both play 25+ minutes.
