To the comment above ^^ how is draft champs a negative thing? Anywho really wanted to hear about A.I. Improvements but doesn't sound like much. Sigh.

The ECHL has also been added for NHL 17:

Well, I was holding out hope for 30 user team control in Franchise mode, but I guess that's not happening

No Connected GM and still no option to play shorter seasons in single player franchise, no mention of any online tournments with friends (set up a 7 game series vs an Online friend). Seems like we are still stuck with stock player builds in EASHL. Looks like a skip for me or I'll grab it when it's half price. I will give it try through ea access but as of now nothing I was looking for is in this game.

Doesn't sound like editing will be that great. Nothing about image importing and probably can't use it to create multiple teams / league.

I am very excited. I really enjoyed NHL 16 and sounds like they are continuing to improve their product with their newest installment

Creating Teams is one thing I really wanted.
But I also want to be able to create prospects for Franchise Mode. Needs to be like NBA 2K16, where you can make draft classes for every year.

No GM Connected = no steelerfan.

With the caveat that if the gameplay is greatly improved and BAGM is worthwhile, I'd consider it. I'm not very hopeful for either though.

ECHL won't matter unless it is integrated into BAGM and 100 point sliders could be a welcomed addition, on a positive note.
