Both expansion spots are filled, but I'm looking for a replacement GM for the Montreal Canadiens. We're around 3 weeks from the trade deadline and I'd like someone in place by then to manage the team through the expansion draft (and hopefully forever)

The invite is expired but I'd like to help

Both spots are currently filled. We might be looking to replace an existing GM or two at some point soon though.

https://atlantichockeyleague.com/ The AHL is currently a 24 team league in our 17th season. We are looking to expand up to 32 teams beginning with 2 new teams next summer. I'm gauging interest at this time even though it will be several months before you can officially join. I would like to get the ...

Well it looks like the NHL has finally made the EDGE data available to the public, this should really help out with creating Skating ratings...

Bump. We're holding our draft right now. Hartford has already made their first round pick (Korchinski) but still has seven picks over the remainder of the draft. Free agency will also open soon and then right into Season 17. There is almost no down time in this league as we simulate two seasons per ...

Updated OP, two teams have come available as we close out the current season.

I'm not doubting you, just wondering how this makes sense as in the manual Simon himself lists "Speed of player" as what you should base the Skating rating on if you are creating your own ratings. Players CSV Version 2 Field # Stats Base yourself on ** to create ratings. 1 Checking Number...

FWIW I had also been thinking about zone entry stats for Skating. If there was a resource that show how many times each player skate the puck into/out of a zone vs passing it or dumping in.

SK rating has in fact nothing to do with a speed of skating. SK rating is a part of decision making formula - it affects what player is going to do with the puck (shoot, pass, skate or puck handle). Additionaly, the higher the stat is, there is a less chance the player get hit. That's why I think t...

Skating has always been the hardest rating to come up with because there is no stat that correlates, and especially in modern times everyone in the league is such a great skater that it can be difficult to differentiate between most players ability. However, the NHL does actually have stats on skati...

There may be an issue with some SK ratings. For example at a glance I see Mitch Marner, Miles Wood and Matthew Phillips are all rated 63

This position is open again and we are now about 15 games into season 16. The playoffs, draft and free agency will be here before you know it!
