Being a Blues fan, I know its wrong. Damn Hawks.

He didn't play in the Final, he signed as a FA. It doesn't matter anyways, he's on the third pair. Coburn plays with Timonen (My mistake)

Alright, I didn't mean to get this off topic, just saying its an issue to me when the Sharks finish 14th in the Western Conference because every team is within 5 point of one another in every category. Teams like the Pens, Caps, Sharks and Hawks should be ranked in the 90's in offense, teams that suck should be in the 70's. There should be a large discrepency. Instead the worst team is about an 83 while the best is maybe an 89. Not enough. That's why we had crazy standings last year.

Anyway, back on topic. Are any of you guys having success on the superstar level? I'm finding it way more difficult than NHL 10.

So back to demo impressions.

I'm loving the fact that we'll be able to trade up to 6 years worth of draft picks in Be A GM. I'm hoping this means player rights will be included as well and that they'll be tradeable.

Definitely a nice addition. I'm wondering how the CHL will factor in. Will we be able to see what players did in the CHL (stats). That would be especially cool when going into the draft.

Hjalmarsson, last year's best-kept secret was one of the most under-rated players in the league. Now the cat's out. He's good. The ratings are just way off.

No he's not. Dude, Mike Green, despite his issues, is the most dangerous offensive defenseman in the NHL. Period.

Mike Green almost had 3x as many goals as Campbell and had 20+ more assists.
