My PS3 decided to delete my awesome Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche files (along with every other file I had). After taking most of NHL 13 off from posting the way I did on NHL 12, I had my team to a point where I was going to post each season like I used to. Then they were gone...

So I decided to become the Montreal Canadiens, bring them back to glory, and basically dominate the game for 20 years after a quick rebuild.

It took me 3 years, in year 4, I won the cup.

This is my year 5 team, much of the same guys were on the year 4 team, although I promoted some youngsters and traded away PK Subban, Connor McDavid and Trevor Daley. Most players were acquired through free agency or the draft, although some were via trades. I haven't done much other than trading for draft picks though, so far. Marleau, Huberdeau, Shattenkirk and Josi represent the only major guys on my roster I acquired through trades.
