<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>No i understood. I think we're making the same point. Lol

GM game = 5 playoff teams and 26 rebuilding teams.
Real NHL = 16 playoff teams and 5 rebuilding teams.

In the real NHL things aren't so black or white. In the GM game its all or nothing or rebuild from scratch.



100% agree.

Drafted in the 1st round last year? - You are now worth 2 1st rounders next year, a prospect and roster player.
Just turned 30 years old and scoring below your career average this year even though you are still a good player? - Your worthless and declining. Frankly do everyone a favor and just kill yourself. ..lol</div></div>

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's unfortunate because I do actually enjoy this stuff, but there's not a lot of incentive to do the moves that I want to make.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Yup, exactly. Its an unfortunate but unavoidable aspect of the game. We can't simulate an entire league and season perfectly.

Guys like Marc Methot and Karl Alzner, although have a little value in the real NHL, have negative value in the GM game. 4th line puds who block shots and win you games in the playoffs are valuable in the real NHL but in this game are all being traded away for virtually nothing.



Tell that to Ottawa last year who was 1 win away from playing for the cup and not being close to a top team or even Nashville who finished what 8th? The top teams usually win but then again Washington should have 10 cups by now.</div></div>

I was referring specifically to our game, sorry if that wasn't clear

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Im not surprised to be honest. There is no benefit to depth in the GM game..... There's nothing that can happen that would benefit a team wanting to stock up on depth players before the playoffs. Sucks but it is what it is I guess.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>the problem is if sellers have essentially the same price for depth guys as top tier guys why not just pay the extra for an actually solid impact player? That's the way I look at it. Plus, depth guys in this game don't translate into a rankings increase in this game based off of what i've seen in the voting/ranking process - which might change idk. A team that adds those guys will get dinged if they trade for a depth guy just because the value placed on the pick and prospect they trade away will make it looked like they got "fleeced".</div></div>

I don't think it helps that it's a top team only winner. It's not like we're trying to get into the playoffs and try to make a run. If you're not one of the top 3-4 teams, adding depth players doesn't make a whole lot of sense, if you ask me.

Like me, I could use some depth players because I'm technically a "fringe playoff team", but it makes no sense for me to do it since i have basically no shot at winning the "Game"
